Date of event:	Recurring

Since even before discovering his powers, Peter Petrelli has been experiencing unusual dreams.

About

Genesis

While sitting with Charles Deveaux in his apartment, Peter dreams of leaping off the roof of a building and flying across the city. He tells his brother Nathan about the dreams, some of which include Nathan.

At the police station, Peter tells his mother that he somehow knew about Nathan's accident before he got the phone call about it.

Nothing to Hide

Peter dreams he is sitting with a conscious Charles Deveaux. He tells Charles he can fly, and opens the window to prove it.

Peter is awakened by the doorbell in his apartment. He opens the door to find Simone, who tells him that Charles passed away about an hour ago. She tells him that before he died, Charles woke up and told her that he dreamed he was flying above the world with Peter.

Six Months Ago

After his graduation party, Peter dreams, in exact detail, the events of Nathan's accident. When he later confronts Nathan about it, his suspicions about the accident's cause are confirmed.

Fallout

In his cell at the Odessa Sheriff's Department, Peter is visited by his brother Nathan. During their conversation, Nathan turns into Sylar, and Peter wakes up suddenly.

After collapsing outside the sheriff's department, Peter has another dream. He is in the deserted streets of New York City. He sees Matt Parkman, Hiro Nakamura, Mohinder Suresh, Claire Bennet, D.L. Hawkins, Niki Sanders, Micah Sanders, Isaac Mendez, Simone Deveaux, and his brother Nathan. Suddenly, Peter begins to glow, and then explodes. Peter wakes up and tells Nathan that he's the cause of the explosion.

Graphic Novel:Super-Heroics

As Peter Petrelli lies comatose in a New York City hospital after collapsing outside the Odessa Sheriff's Department, he has a comatose dream that he's a comic book superhero, battling against a virtually indestructible flying villain called "The Rocket". When he finally succeeds in defeating his enemy, however, Peter realizes that the villain is himself, despite his protestations that Peter is meant to be the hero.

Godsend

In the hospital, Peter experiences more flashes from his dream, including an unknown bearded man laughing at him. Once again he sees his hands begin glowing with energy. As Nathan approaches, Peter tells him that he "took his power" and that he can't control it. Nathan asks to help, but Peter tells him he can't. Nathan tells him that he's not going to leave him. Eventually, Peter begins glowing with energy as before and explodes. The resulting explosion can be seen killing Nathan and Simone and destroying many buildings. Peter awakens in the hospital screaming.

Memorable Quotes

Notes

• The special title page for Graphic Novel:Wireless, Part 1 by Phil Jimenez prominently features an artistic rendition of Peter's dream of himself exploding.
• With Simone's death (Unexpected), it would appear that Peter's dreams are not accurate images of future events. The dream he had while in the hospital (Godsend) showed her alive up until the Explosion.
