Thread: Precognitive Dreaming

I had a dream where I was in some palace thing and it looked 16th century-ish. Anyway, there was a picture and I pulled it aside and there was a tunnel. I went in and saw a ghost of a woman in one of those 16th century dresses that make your hips go wide. There was also a ghost of a 4 - 5 year old boy.

I thought maybe in the past, that woman had tried to escape or something and was killed along with the kid. Then I just decided it was a regular dream. My precognitive events usually happen while I am awake.

a few years ago I had a theory that eventually the universe would collapse into a singularity and then would explode again and time would begin again exactly the same. I guess you could be able to sense time that is "near" you maybe?

I've started a dream journal pretty recently and one entry said "[place where I work] uniform is missing." while I can't remember what that dream was like (I need to write them down more detailed), about two days later I got laid off! very strange...

There have been many great inventions as a result of these prgonative dreams. I figure it's God's way of helping us advance in the world.

Well I wasn't going to start any of this until I'd got more of a handle on my Lucid Dreaming ...but the reason I joined the site is because since I was 12 I have what could be called precognitive dreams.

Please be assured that they are totally usless and personal so I ain't claiming to be any kinda psychic or nothing.

All I know is that although I almost always remember my lucid dreams, sometimes I wake up knowing I've had a lucid dream but with no memory of it.

Usually what happens then is that within a week(sometimes days, sometimes months) I'll get a profound sense of Deja vu and the dream will come flooding back into my mind.

This always happens when I recognise something from the previously forgotten dream (don't ask me how ...that's why I'm here, to find out) and then I'll have about 30 seconds to 5 minutes (which is the longest timespan I've ever had) of what I can only describe as a memory of what is supposed to happen.

I make that distinction because I'm an avid scifi\ fantasy fan and I know something about paradoxes.

The freakiest thing is that knowing what other people will say and knowing what I'm supposed to say, I've often changed my responses. The first time I deviated I was terrified ....I had no idea what effect this would have but thankfully I'm still here so I don';t worry about paradoxes anymore.

I've discussed this with friends and family (usually when I'm very drunk) and no-one has ever been able to offer and explanation.

Honestly I'm not a crank .... I've had these dreams since just after my first Lucid Dream and they have always been useless...the conversations I forsee are between me and people I may or may not know ..... one dream I had was a month before the event. I hadn't planned to quit my job and move on but a month later I was working away at this new job and I got a flash that lasted about 40 seconds.

When the event happened it was a week into my new job and I suddenly realised that I'd been here before and that my manager was about to enter the kitchen from the restaurant to offer to help me with a particularly busy breakfast sitting. I picked up the Paper Chefs hat that I knew from my dream she would end up wearing and as she offered to help I simultaneously thanked her and handed her the hat.

With the dream sequence complete I felt a shiver and got back to work and only notice a second later that she was still standing there staring at me.

As I said before thses flashes are always personal and never seem to be that important or useful and no ....I've never dreamed the winning Lottery numbers....not that I haven't tried.

I don't know what the hell this is all about but before and after a flash I usually have many lucid dreams.... and this is the time I find it hardest to remember them.

So here i am trying to find out if I can learn to fully realise my Lucid dreams and see if maybe I'm just mentaly damaged ...or if something else is going on in the world.

Feel free to ridicule all you want ....I post my experiences in the spirit of sharing and learning that so far has seemed very prevalent on this site and it's Forums. If anone has had similar experiences I would appreciate it if you would post as I really want to know if I'm just hallucinating or if something else is going on.

For those who would ask the standard questions

1. Yes I have been known to drink but I would be considered a light drinker (bottle of red wine or two over a weekend)

2. Yes I have used a mixture of drugs in the past and have explored the possibility that I was experiencing a drug induce mental disorder. So far the jury is still out on that one but I would like to point out that the duration and frequency of these episodes has severly deteriorated when drugs where involved and all of my most interesting flashes happened when I was between 14 and 16 ....when I did not partake of any drugs ...not even alchohol.

3. As far as I know there is no family history of mental problems.....but I suppose a history has to begin somewhere : )

4. No I don't have any proof accept for my own experience.

Thank you all for your time

Any and All feed back is welcome.

Having been a psych major and discovering how little we know of the mind, I believe one day it will be proven that dreams can give us insight into the future...or at least our personal futures.

As far as my experience, I recently had a dream involving a co-worker I hadn't talked to in about 2-3 years. He also hadn't been on my mind recently or part of any conversations. Anyway, I dreamt that I walked into a bar and was looking for a place to sit. As I walked around the bar, a man got up off his stool and said my name...that man being my co-worker. Long story short, 2 days later I get a text message from him!

This is just one example, and I'm sure I'll have more in the future...hopefully I dream of meeting Jessica Alba and not the Grim Reaper...

I recently had a vision that came whilst in the hypnagogic state before sleep, I was on a London bus and saw a suspicous package. I stood up and told everyone else on the bus what I had found and that they should leave, the following day I woke up to find out that there had been an attempted bombing in London, it was in a car not a bus. Could just be coincidence but hey...

Going back to the point I personally beleive that all that is, will be or has been is written somewhere on another plane. Like a giant library with all the events of the world documented and that if one could access this plane, either through dream, trance, hypnosis, drugs or whatever and have sufficient control and knowledge then it would be possible to fortell events or go back to a specific point in the past and watch those events unfold. Try googleing "Akashic Records" if you are interested in this idea as it is a principal or many eastern teachings and is widely documented.

I'm not completely sure that precognitive dreams aren't mere coincidences, but I've had several. None of them were about real significant emotional things. Mostly they were about food. They were accurate enough though to convince me that this might be a real phenomenon.

I'm kind of along the same lines as YFRog. I've had many precognative dreams throughout my life. Most were personal and some were interpersonal (with someone and I did something very specific).

I think some precognative dreams reveal necessary information into events so that we may be properly prepared. Many I would have to say are simply sign posts - mile markers as we live our life - to make sure we are on the same/right path.

So you know one of my experiences...

One of the most dramatic series was when I was really little and I was suffering from maddening nightmares that were beyond my control. I was 7 and I saw a woman in a field. I had the dream several times and memorized her face as a consequence. Then I started having many dreams of her and me being older in specific rooms talking of specific things with specific people around. The dreams flooded me for months and the dream content covered 30 sec to 5 minutes intervals (similar to YFRog) scattered over several years but the highest concentration was in a 2-3 month period.

However, the dreams seemed to contradict after the 2-3 month period. In one "set" of dreams I was to marry her and live a life "pre-lived" and in the other set my path divereged and all I saw was a life not "pre-lived".

I would have to wait 15 years to meet her (I might have to check the date - I keep my records secure). That's when so many of the little dreams became true. Every single time an event would be lived again I felt a "big squeeze" to live it as I had lived it before... but I didn't like how it felt. It felt like my choice was robbed from me. It felt like I was dying or becoming a slave of the visions I had seen before.

She revealed to me that she had prayed to God that someone would be sent to her prepared of God to be a compatible mate, but she wasn't ready for me when I came into her life. I was frustrated because I had always thought she would love me and understand me.

That's when I chose darkness - the unknown road - and my precognative dreams stopped ruling over me and I have been free for the past 3-4 years and I feel much better. More in control of my own destiny.

I think I was given the dreams so that I may have hope to live past my terrible condition of when I was 7 (that lasted for many years). She ended up being a sign post - that I should know I was still healing.

Most of my Pre-cognitive dreams (where everything in the dream occurs later in reality) occurred from childhood to early 20’s. All seemed to be insignificant life events that lasted from approximately 3 to 10seconds. No drugs, no alcohol involved. They occurred about 2 to 3 weeks after the dream.

At 23 I took magic mushrooms with 2 friends. Lots of regular odd perceptions took place as they do. But one thing I remember vividly from this experience was a waking (albeit on hallucinogens) precognition of an event that occurred about 3 seconds before it actually occurred. Again the event itself was insignificant but it did last a good 8 to 10 seconds and simply caused me to respond with, “No way, I saw everything that just happened, before it happened”.

I’ve had very significant dreams (non-precognitive) that have turned out to symbolise future events. These, ironically, have been more useful than the frame by frame precognitive dreams that I’ve had.

All I can say at this point is that precognitive dreams really make me feel quite unsettled when they repeat themselves in reality. It’s a very real phenomenon that I think is relatively wide spread. When it does occur it seems like life is pre-destined, to an extent at least. Why there are so many seemingly insignificant precognitive events is frustrating, seems like such a waste. Interesting to read others similar experiences.

Cheers.

Wow I missed allot here! sorry everyone. I have very little time lately.

King GEO, thanks for the search tip I'm about to check it out.

I came back cause I dreamed that my dog had gotten ran over and he had large open wounds on one the legs of his right side and was not doing well at all, anyway I went to check on him cause I was so concerned the dream woke me up. He was alright but came to find out I had a brown recluse bike on my right leg and it was within the first 24 hour period of the bite and before I could go back to sleep I noticed the bite and was able to cure it before the poison set in and caused tissue decay.

It wasn't my dog with the problem it was me.

P.S.
I'm glad I'm not the only one who has these dreams.

After reading up on the Akashic records on wikipedia, I came to some understanding of something, that is I've been training my dog, Tux, and I've been using dreams to speed up the process. Yes this actually has been working.
I believe I have communicated with my dog through my dreams much like I pull people into my dreams. He actually learns 100% faster this way, I have tested this method. It dose work.
I think this is very strange and bazaar but it dose work for me. This Akashic record thing actually answered some questions I had about this. At least the part about all beings having a connection and this connection being in a branch point in the quantum mulitvers.

I've been experiencing the exact same things since I was very young. Dreams about mundane, often very minute things. Most of the time the dreams come true a week or so after the dream, though in some instances they happen years after the dream. The scary thing is, real life happens *exactly* how it does in the dream. I've even dreamed about checking my bank balance online (I don't keep a paper ledger), only to do it days later and knowing what the balance would be *to the cent* from my dream. Dreamed conversations take place in real life to the letter. Everytime this happens I get that same deja vu feeling you mentioned, makes me feel dizzy and almost sick to my stomach. This happens a few times a week, makes me feel a bit out of place, you know? It's nice to find people here like me.

I'm not a druggy, or an alcoholic, and I'm not a new-age poser. It's something I've learned to live with but it's been getting more and more intense as I get older. I'm as logical as the next guy, pretty straight-laced as it were (I'm in the military, if that says anything). Does anyone else have thoughts on this, or a similar experience? It's almost become part of my lifestyle, something that I've had to integrate into who I am. Any replies are appreciated!

I personally feel my own 'precognitions' are part of a mental process which manipulates that way I think at a certain event. What I'm trying to say is that I tend to think of my own forseeings as a mixture of deja-vu and dreams that are triggered by an event, usually that of what I dreamt about.

This in turn means that, since I'm literally 2 days new to the forum and lucid dreaming, it just might be that either my dream recall is really bad and I believe that my mind makes up dream sequences to tie up with the just-happened event or that my dream recall is really bad and that I actually dreamt of the future event and just didn't remember it.

Eitherway, it's all signs that I need to practice my dream recall

Well it's been a while since I even viewed the forums (or the site for that matter) but I'm interested to see that others experience the same things as me.

Just in response to Labmonkey I have to say that I felt the frustration brought on by the logical consequences of true precognitive dreams and the predestination that they would seem to imply.

I felt this strongly at a very emotionally charged junction in my life and immediately vowed to do something about it.

My actions where simple in form and where chosen as I percieved little (immediately apparent) potential consequence. I chose a different path. I deliberately changed the conversation away from the conversation I was remembering (this was one of those rare occassions when I had almost 4 mins of recall)

It was a small candle of defiance held up to the logic of the potential of true cognitive dreaming but it made the point for me.

As far as I'm concerned we truely are the masters of our own destiny and we can do anything we want with our lives. Choosing the unseen path is choosing exactly that ...it's about taking responsibility for our own actions and thoughts and not using a surrogate will to justify those actions.

Although this thread has been inactive a while I'm glad to see that the world is not as cut and dry as the masses would have us believe.

Heres to the fantastic as yet undiscovered potential of the human mind.

You're not the only one.. I've had visions in dreams and while I'm awake since I was about 10..

I experience that same tiny remembrance right before the moment "oh yeah I dreamed this" and then it's gone and I usually don't reply the same way I did I act stunned sometimes...

You can improve your ability by remembering your dreams... but a lot of shit gets whiped off the slate of your mind because you're not supposed to know.. Or something.

It's a gift we are all born with and was forgotten with the rise of Christianity and the end of Cabala/Kabbalah, Druidism, Paganism(wiccan is the closest we have to this). The people in charge basically the Christians murdered, burned everyone that knew anything about ancient religions because of the power they possessed... Not only that they stole half of the holidays from other religions to help convert people... But anyway.... You can improve your psychic abilities with practice, and the use of your will to affect...

I've been able to get to the point where I know what people are saying and thinking to a point.. Lot of practice I still need though.


Also when I was about 18 I was tripping out on about 1.7 grams of shrooms and I was taking a bath in a completely dark room no windows and I started having visions... And I saw a hill and a storm and a tree with a car accident... and two days later a good friend of mine died at the bottom of a hill in a car accident...

You can see the future, you can make the world a better place.
All you have to do is believe.

P.S. If I could drag the things I've learned out of my mind on Acid, I would have a reliable way to change the future through the past... I had a whole formula that I explained to my girl while we were tripping and then it was STRUCK from our minds and I can't remember it.

with the first half, yeah I get that as well... It seemed to happed more when I was young though. Also, it wasn't anything usefull... I would just predict TV shows accidentally... ALSO, it only happened when I was awake.

In response to Di

Having a cognitive vision is only a possible route because we are the masters of our own destiny. The universe just knows what you and humanity is most likely going to do.. but their are always a handful of people that break the mold. Pre-destined more like most possible destiny.

We all have the potential. Especially during the full moon, you're much more aware of what is going on.

Meditation and practice and you can increase you're knowing before the moment with all sorts of things not just Television shows.

It happened more when you're young because you were more able to accept things that were not part of your normal model that you were born and raised to.

That's why theirs so much talk about Psychic children. Imagination is the key the the slate of your mind where such things "visions" are brought.
