Lame prophetic dream?

**Prince_RIP** · 08-31-2010 07:08 AM

When I was younger I had a couple dreams that were very blatantly about the future. Haven't recently, though, and I never really studied dream interpretation so if I have symbolic prophetic dreams I wouldn't know. Anyways...

We have never parked in the garage at my house. Ever. Last night I had a dream that the car was parked in the garage and I backed out or whatever. Today my parents tell me that they're going to start parking one of the cars in the garage. Weeeiiird.

Nah. It was a precognitive dream. Prophetic dreams are more about some significant event. (This is mainly connotation.)

I have had many precognitive dreams about mundane event such as this. You were seeing 24 hours into the future. COOL!

Oh yea I don't know the different terms.

It was pretty cool though. I feel like i'm getting better at this sort of thing

I dunno, I call that kind of thing a coincidence. It may seem unlikely, but I will only ever be convinced that any form of foreshadowing dreams without any subconscious influence (such as your parents telling you during a moment of absent-mindedness beforehand or certain events indicating that the garage might be used in future) is possible if the chances of it being a coincidence are mathematically negligible.

I know the feeling though.

I've had a few of those too.

but they didn't even tell me the morning after that they were gonna start parking into the garage. They asked me if they could move some stuff of mine so we could park it in the garage. They had just come up with the idea. So they couldn't have possible mentioned it before.

The human brain is mysterious. It could be that the same external stimuli that gave them the idea were likewise exposed to you. You do after all live in the same house after all. Ideas originate from reflection and reflection is based on sense-experience. All I'm saying is that you shouldn't jump to conclusions without sufficient evidence. It's like assuming the world is flat only because you can't explain it otherwise. That's what I think anyway.

nah. I've finally figured it all out. But it's WAYYY too much to post but i'm writing a book

I have had so many precognitive dreams I am forced to believe they are real. I used to be a total atheist, not believing in anything supernatural or psychic, but after it keeps happening to you, you eventually believe.

Fair enough, but I advice you to be careful. You say "I used to be a total atheist". Even if a person could have prophetic dreams or dream on some sort of cognitive, shared plane (which I do not directly reject the possibility of) it doesn't have to force you to start believing in the supernatural. If I went back in time and showed the people of the middle ages a video camera (or anything else really) I imagine the assumptions they would come up with would likewise go deep into supernatural explanations. You can still be an atheist and regard a certain phenomenon as possible but not immediately explainable.

All I'm saying is that we might as well throw all scientific development out the window and assume it's aliens who can access the fifth dimension remotely feeding dreams of the future into our minds. It's the same mistake Newton made.
