It's likely you have a conscious or subconcious motive for wanting to think so and maybe that motive has meddled with what you think you remember from your dream. It could be that you're aware of this, but convince yourself the suit was the same whenever you think about it. However, it could also be that you've been through it so many times that you've suggested to yourself a full-blown and believable false memory.

I don't think I would remember that kind of detail myself.
I've thought about this and what you are saying makes sense. I do remember knowing the color of the suit after the dream though, I remember when I went home that day after finding out he died thinking back to that dream and the details of it. The power of suggestion is strong, I'm sure as the years went on the dream may have gotten clearer and clearer as I tell the story, but the main contents of the dream were always as I dreamed them. The overall picture itself may have gotten exaggerated a bit.

you're right, who's to say we aren't being talked to by spirits in our dreams. Maybe they are trying to tell us what we should or shouldn't be doing with our lives. Maybe they are showing us things to come? who knows.
