      Precognitive dreaming

      I believe I have been experiencing precognitive dreaming for a number of years now. If I have a dream that seems to be precognitive, for all intents and purposes, it behaves just as random as any other dream seems to be. Maybe I am running from a monster, or in an old house from my childhood. Whatever, the point is it seems random and dream like.

      Except, it usually effects me on an emotional level, I am feeling something in the dream that is somehow more intense than a normal dream would be. Maybe it is fear or anxiety, or just an intense good feeling. Sometimes there is an extreme sense of 'hear and now', like, WOW, I exist. If that makes any sense. I typically tend to notice if a dream was 'different' when I wake up but I quickly forget them like any other dream and move on with my day to day life.

      Then, weeks or usually months later I am doing something - anything really... and it's like, everything kind of moves into frame like it was planned and I find that I am in that moment, a moment in my dream and I remember having the dream (that moment in the dream, not the whole dream mind you) and this feeling comes over me everytime this happens like, "oh, here we go again"

      The thing is, these moments are usually never very important. They are just random life but always, always always associated with an aesthetic quality, like... a brick wall with a mailbox in front of it and a purple poster for a garage sale. I stumble upon this image in real life that I (seem) and instantly remember having had a dream that appears to be what I am seeing in front of me.

      Of course I have dejavu, but this feeling is completely different. I know when I am experiencing dejavu and I know when I am experiencing this feeling as if I am seeing a dream image. They feel completely different.

      I know that the human mind is very good at fooling itself, and I am probably just seeing and feeling things I want to see. At the same time, I feel like there is something to this.

      Anyway, I just had a strong one today from a dream that felt like months ago. It wasn't anything important of course. I believe my mindset has a lot to do with my attitudes about precognition. I honestly do not know if a human being is capable of seeing the "future", but I don't believe the future actually exists.

      From a young age I had this idea planted in my head that, the universe was created in some cataclysmic way and the energy that went into creating existence is simply action and reaction. What I mean is, I believe time is an illusion and the only thing that exists is an ever constant 'present'. The universe is singular organism that appears to be comprised of independent parts but has a direct relationship in how we perceive the space and dimensions of three dimentional objects. Oh, that sounds crazy... I know

      To put it on a small scale imagine your parents, their parents, or your ancestor from 10,000 years ago. They made what appeared to be choices but in reality were physiological reactions from the brain to external stimuli around them. Their brains a product of evolution and ultimately, the creation of the cosmos that set everything in motion. Your entire existence is entirely a product of how you were raised (which in turn conditioned your brain) by the apparent choices of your parents who were conditioned by life to raise you a certain way. If that makes any sense! So, no free will and the universe is completely set in stone down to the smallest details.

      Okay... I don't know what else to say, just kind of had this bottled up for awhile now. Of course I don't talk with anyone about it let alone anyone who would agree with/believe me

      Hi, thanks for sharing.

      The feeling you describe seems to me to be a momentary recognition of your deeper identity.

      For myself, I'm certain that the precognition is real, its not a brain malfunction. With mine, the event usually follows the dream by a few hours, and the type of dream is distinct enough that I can make note of it before the event happens.

      I don't agree that there's no freedom, or that time is entirely an illusion. I think the intuition of timelessness and holism you describe is real and magnificent, but it nevertheless does not capture everything there is to know about reality. Although our experience of time is limited and incomplete also, if it were utterly illusory we would not experience it at all. Similarly, I agree that our experience of choice is largely illusory. But if choice were completely illusory there wouldn't be any survival value to experiencing a mental approximation of it. Freedom and time are as real and valuable to me as fate and eternity. Though I admit I don't have the two types of experiences completely reconciled in my understanding. (I know I keep saying freedom instead of free will, but being what I am, I don't think I have one without the other.) I'm also certain that my entire existence is not a product of how I was raised, that this kind of cause and effect is not the whole of how nature works. But to reiterate, I agree completely about the reality of the timeless and fate, and I experience that too.

      what would help to proveyou right that precognition works: write your dreamdiary, at least when you have such a dream. Theny, when you feel this déjà rèvé moment, go later that day checking whether you actually dreamt this
