Future Sight?

**Elite Dreamer** · 11-04-2008 04:03 PM

Hey guys. Just wanted to know if anyone experiences future day residue in their dreams. What I mean is, do you notice things the next day that were in your dream the previous night?

I've started seeing things from my dreams come true the next day. For instance, the biggest one was in a dream I had in the morning where (in the dream) I was laughing in an odd way. High pitched and funny sounding. That morning as I took the bus to college, (out of the dream) a lady on the bus was laughing in the exact same manner as me in the dream.

Now, I realise how stupid it sounds but I just would like to propose a theory. Perhaps while dreaming, you mind calculates possible scenarios that the next day may bring based on the day before, or even based on everything that it remembers and places it into the dream. Maybe as preperation.

I'll give another example of one of my experiences, and theres heaps more that I won't explain. I dreamt that I was being chased by two lizards. The next morning dad got me to work in the yard moving bricks. As I lifted up one of the bricks two lizards scrambled out from underneath.

The feeling you get when these things happens seams to feel very supernatural, like you have an eye into the future. But so far as I can tell, it only works with your own life and not others and also it works only for the day after the dream occurs and lastly but probably most importantly, the actual prediction is pretty pointless and rather vague.

Anyways, let me know if you've had any similar experiences and tell us about em.

Thanks.

Congratulations welcome to the club, it's been happening to me for years and years.

Yep, next day and varying degrees of delay in approaching futures.

First met my wife in a dream.
Met her physically about two weeks later.

**Elite Dreamer** · 11-05-2008 03:01 PM

Care to elaborate on your experiences. What's the most bizarre thing you're dreams have predicted?

**DeathCell** · 11-05-2008 07:55 PM

I'd elaborate....
I guess I'll pick a few times..

Lots of days when I'm in unfamiliar places I remember being their before, such as a relatives new house which for the first time being their I remembered the layout...

The worst was an awake dream, actually a Mushroom experience years ago where I foresaw the death of a friend of mine... A hill, a car, a storm, at the bottom of the hill was a car and an ambulance. Two days later my friend died on a place called Gravity hill.... It was raining.

I mean I can't really go into much detail for you, basically I dream about little parts of the day all the time.

Some people in the world out there have had these experiences to which it doesn't come so fast. I myself started having experiences like these since elementary school over 10 years ago. I can tell you that Most of these experiences were prolonged and didn't happen for god knows how long.

I want to say about 2 years ago was the bigger push into which things would either happen in the same week or the next day.

So your not alone on this subject and many other people have had horrifying things happen to them when they dream the future and have it come true.

Lets just say your not the only one who has lost a friend and dreamed about it before it happened the day before or even the week before...

I myself have lost two very good friends of mine and to tell you the truth I knew it was going to happen I just didn't know exactly when.

Elite Dreamer, you've described my theory perfectly!

I have, since a few weeks ago, had life changing ideas about the human mind, especially on the subconscious.

My idea is that in many people (but certainly not most) the subconscious is extremely well developed or well connected with the conscious, and such people can CONSCIOUSLY do more things than others. It's very possible that everyone makes predictions etc. all the time, but just aren't aware of them. I get them more during the day than in dreams, and often the really important ones come back in dreams.

I also ALWAYS know when this one girl is sending me a text message

So my theory in short: people gravely underestimate the power of the subconscious, and, in me at least, all it takes to do amazing things is to have faith in it and learn to work with it

hello. if you notice an enormous gap in time between the event you dream and it happening in real life, then you need to consider that maybe it was just a coincidence - obviously, this is only the case with non-abnormal occurrences: a death of a friend would not fall into this category.

one case i remember this happening to me was that i dreamt about a kid from high school (in a non-sexual way) - i never knew nothing about him, not even his name. i wondered why he featured in my dream at all, the next night i cross him in a bar - obviously a lot older. this struck me because the dream event translated so quickly.

yeah, when i'm in a relationship this happens a lot. i have dreams about the approximate time we are going to have sex, and other stuff as well, and in general it does come true. also before when i was in high school, i had this strange feeling along with a "vision" of a girl i was going to meet at the train station. this happened during last period, and when i got to the train station next to my school there she was

it wasn't just that one time, i had the same feeling when certain people were going to be online and within seconds they appear online.

also, i've had dreams where i'm arguing with my dad and that comes true within a couple of days. and in almost the precise way it did in the dream, yet i couldn't avoid it. now when i have those dreams i just refuse to argue and not say anything to my dad for a little while.

these things don't happen anymore, and despite all this i don't believe in psychics. it's not exactly coincidence either, but something in between.

**Maple Spook** · 11-10-2008 08:14 AM

I'm not quite sure. I have dreams which do come true later, but perhaps not the very next day. That said, I am thinking of one incident which, yes, did come true - I had the dream I guess in the early hours of the morning, and, during breakfast, that event occurred - an event over which I had no control.

**DeathCell** · 11-10-2008 06:10 PM

The nonbelieving Atheists may think of us as nuts, but it seems to affect a lot of us.

ForgottenDream, people with constant ability to talk to their unconscious and the collective unconscious have far more information than anyone else can pull.

**Seanchaidh** · 11-21-2008 01:47 PM

I've had the same sort of experiences but my dreams actually depict events that happen much later than the actual dream. Well actually the time varies - it's either a couple of days or a couple of years.

E.g. I dreamt my mum and dad would split up and a while later they just about did if I hadn't stopped them.

I think the ability you guys are talking about is precognitive dreaming (future knowing dreams) the opposite would be postcognitive dreams (past knowing dreams).

Everyone tends to get them from time to time but some more than others.

**Captain Sleepalot** · 11-23-2008 02:32 PM

To anyone who has experienced this:

Were the dreams that contained the future information lucid or normal dreams?

**Seanchaidh** · 11-24-2008 10:32 AM

Hmm. You know it kinda felt like a bit of both. There was a part of me that knew it was a dream but there was this other part that was telling me that it wasn't.

**fy_iceworld** · 12-09-2008 12:37 PM

I believe in this. It happens when I'm under a lot of stress, for example, I had an exam and presentation for a class and the night before I dreamt I would be late and that in the dream I saw a clock that had the time 8:34 on it and the dream characters kept telling me that I would be late. I ended up waking up at exactly 8:34 am and was late to the exam.

I could not have seen the clock in my sleep, and my sleep pattern is very irregular, so I could not trick my mind into waking up at a certain time. I conclude that I must have had a glimpse into the immediate future, like a little ripple.

These small future ripples in my dream have been occuring at high frequency ever since I did the Salvia hallucinogen (would not recommend it), it was extremely profound, life changing, and frightening.

**Seanchaidh** · 12-10-2008 01:56 PM

Hmm...yeah...but why did you do the hallucinagen is the first place?

To trip balls.

**Ahhchuu** · 12-11-2008 01:45 AM

sometimes when you see/hear these things they dont really register conciously but you subconcious remembers them. i cant explain why it comes to you in a dream. but you will be more aware of them because you seen in a dream. sorry if this was already said.

i forgot what theory this is

**bennerman** · 12-11-2008 01:58 AM

it usually takes a year before anything I dream actually happens... which sucks

**sammie1010** · 12-31-2008 08:20 AM

I've been having dreams about the future and past. My dreams usually happen in a year or two so it feels like so much jamis vu and deja vu but sometimes it occurs often.I've been wondering why this is happening but now i feel happy because i get to be myself and standout instead of being ordinary.I'd rather be different

**LoneIdealist** · 01-04-2009 05:17 PM

First post and all so tout me if you want :p but I've been fussing with this particular kind of dreaming for a long time, and I do believe in them. Just thought I'd add my two cents

This happens to me, or appears to happen to me, all the time. Lately I've been suffering from uncontrollable, literally I can't dream lucidly with them, so my head's been a bit full up and I haven't "seen" anything.
BUT I'll make note of one time when I had a dream of walking into a friends house and watching as their black cat ran down the second story stairs and walked past me. (and I don't believe in the whole black cat myth so we'll just stop that train of thought right there lol)

Now, on the logical side of things, you wouldn't believe how much your brain actually retains when you simply open your eyes say....in a mall. You might not remember the woman in the blue sweater, but the image and all other sensory perceptions of her are still stored in your head for a good while. So when small things happen in your dreams, logically, it's a random electrical spike that fires up the RAM if you will, randomly accessed memories, and dregs up an image of something you thought you never ever viewed and tosses that image into the fragile state of your dreams. The next day you might see...your mother in a blue sweater and even though you dreamt of a different woman in your dreams, your going to relate the blue sweater from your dreams and the one on your mother to being able to see in the future.
Or you might have been thinking about something related to what you were dreaming about at some point in the day and didn't realize you were actually thinking about it. Yes, I've done this before too so it's possible ;p Now, my dream about the black cat happened seven days before the actual real life event, and after really studying the before and afters of the event, I realized that the day before the dream I had been talking about how the cat never went upstairs. Now why he did seven days later I'll never know, but before the dream he had no collar, and during the dream as well as the actual event the cat had a green collar with three bells on it.

So that said, yes I believe in seeing said future events in dreams, and yes I've done it, and yes it's come true. I think the worst event was I had a waking dream in English class in eighth grade about a plane and a building blowing up exactly one minute before the first plane crashed into the Two Towers on 9/11. Now I could go on and on and on and on and on about those special circumstances, and in detail about future sight it's self but this post is already two paragraphs longer than I had planned it to be

All I'm saying is for the people who want to stop dreaming about the future simply mix a bit of logic with the events before you jump to the conclusion that you've seen the future. Examine what you were doing/thinking the day before the dream and the actual dream if you can remember it. You might find links you hadn't before

And for the long term dreams, say a year or more in advance, more often then not it's simply coincidence unless there were points of EXTREME detail in the dream such as time of day, dates, exact people and what they were wearing, location, any "Direct Quotes", things that would be out of the ordinary in any other dream sense.

But for when it does happen...it's quite something isn't it?

**sammie1010** · 01-11-2009 08:54 PM

woops i ment jamais vu not jamis vu.....srry

**KrazyYerttle** · 01-12-2009 04:51 AM
