Okay, so I had a normal dream a few nights ago that this girl was driving next to me and completely car flirting with me (you should know how to do this). The dream lasted longer than twenty minutes and I remember it in a lot of detail. She kept popping up over and over in random places in the dreams before this as well, this one was just the last dream of the night and the longest/most vivid. |

That is strange. Very strange. And now I have Season of the Witch stuck in my head. |
|
IMHO you constructed a face similar to hers and then filled in the details when you saw her. |

Yes, I thought of this as well. I realize when driving to work every morning, that I pass a bunch of people and cars. I know that my brain can remember everything that it has ever sensed (all of the senses). So I know that it could all be coincidence. |

Low odds. DV is not letting me edit. |

A simple answer is precog. |
|
Like dejavu? |
|
No, sivason is suggesting you have ESP which lets your subconscious see the future. I highly doubt precognition is possible, considering that an effect cannot occur before its cause. Precognition would violate this basic scientific principle. |

ixsetf, a lot of things "violoate scientific principles". Science can't explain everything and there's a lot that we don't know. The more we know, the more questions we have. Look at quantum physics - things we assumed were impossible and could only happen in movies (time travel, etc) might be scientifically proven in the next 10 to 20 years. |
|
@Woodstock it's true that at least right now, science doesn't explain everything, but it explains a hell of a lot. You say "The more we know, the more questions we have" but the questions become more complex, and more specified. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence, so if you claim that ESP is real you have to first disprove causality, a basic physical principle and then it can be accepted. |

Well, I believe that Einstein believed in tie going in circles (I actually don't believe time going in circles). So couldn't effect be before cause on this matter? |
|
Do you meditate often? Or at least meditate sometimes? It leads to ESP. |
|
Kind of. I do not try to "transcend" I meditate to clear my mind to think about my life, think about scripture, and (before I go to bed) to visualize LDing. I am a christian, so I usually stay away from stuff like ESP, but I do not think that things like that are all unreal. Is it still considered ESP if it is in dreams? or is that how it normally happens? |

I don't believe in shared dreaming (I know, I don't believe in anything ), but I'll listen to whatever you have to say on the subject, and maybe one of us will convince the other. |

Oh and about the the time circle things, the human brain is cool, but I doubt it can remember things that happened "how ever many billion years the time circle things are" years ago, since I personally can't remember what I ate last week. |

Gotcha. I am fine with skepticism. The only earthly thing I 100 % believe is the Bible, so I am used to skepticism of the highest nature. Haha. |

BTW, I am also skeptical, but I am skeptical of things that most people are not. |

@Brandonboss that analogy does sound convincing at first, but there are a few things that keep it from working. The first is that computers and the human brain work differently, a computer works by taking a set of rules that are programmed in and can only follow them as they are written, but the way the brain functions is much closer to a neural net which takes information and constructs rules to follow from it. The second is that while brains are more advanced than computers in some ways, they fall short in others, for example you can't factor a number over a billion in less than a second, and you can't store gigabytes of information in your brain either. Third computers have to be set up to use wifi, with a specific part for it, and no neuroscientist has been able to find something in the human brain that can send or receive waves, despite mapping and finding functions for the entirety of the brain. |

@Brandonboss There is actually a way to tell how far away the stars are, although you have to go into space to get the right results; take a picture from one spot and a picture from another at the same time, a few million miles away, and compare them, the stars will appear to move relative to each other and to the earth ever so slightly, and from how much the pictures differ you can calculate the distance they are from the earth. |

Brandon, First we should clarify ESP vs precog. ESP is a generic term for ANY sensory preception gained by a non-standard means. Most people will think of magical stuff, but if I could sense electrical stuff just like a shark does, then that would be ESP as well as if I could read thoughts. The normal use of the term relates to reading thoughts from others. |

@Sivason If those with ESP don't want to talk about it, or prove that it exists they don't have to. But if you want me to believe in ESP I would have to see some evidence that it's real. I'm not saying you can't believe in it, but generally if you want to convince someone of something, or use it as an explanation, you have to provide something to show that it is at least most likely to be true. Since I have had nightmares, and know a whole bunch of people who have also had them, I would believe someone who says they have nightmares, but if no one else in the world but yourself and a couple other random people have ever had them, then I would need to see some proof. It would probably be enough to see someone waking up scared. |
