Thread: Advantages and disadvantages of being able to predict the future at will?

I got such dreams and OBEs... disadvantage is, I didn't know, and I will not know that I saw future till it will really happen. I have a few visions that may happen in future, and a few that I thought could happen, but didn't happen. I think I sometimes see possible futures, and maybe parallel universes.

Question is, is it possible to reach such level of prediction that I could change predicted future? Or- did I change something and therefore some visions of future didn't come true? I don't see turning points, therefore it is hard to steer line of events.

This right here.

I get little snippits of things that will happen in due time. They range from 4 weeks to 2 months. I can never remember them until they actually happen.

Also, being able to see ahead of what's to come could be considered a curse. If fate is a real thing (I believe in it, but others may not), then we are powerless to stop its course of events set in motion for us - there's nothing you can do to stop it from happening.

I have read and heard many accounts, some firsthand, of precognitive dreams, "gut feelings", and visions of the future. It seems like sometimes the future event is inevitable. Other times it seems like it is not. My last girlfriend before my wife was a witch. (My wife is a witch, too, guess I like witches.) Anyway, one time my ex had a dream about a blue truck on the freeway riding up on her and almost hitting her. She told me about it when she woke up. Then, she went to work, and saw the truck on the road that was in her dream. She quickly changed lanes, then passed the truck. Right after she passed the truck, one of the truck's tires blew out. This is an instance where a precognitive dream showed a possible timeline that was avoided. I have read other accounts where people dream of their own death, and their death is exactly like the dream.
I was talking about deja-vu with my cousin while we were bodyboarding in Waikiki last week. He said he dreamt about the conversation we were having in the water years ago when he was a kid, and these deja-vu experiences seem always to be him remembering a dream he had, a precognitive dream about the exact moment he is in in the present. He said the deja-vu always seems to happen at a kind of pivotal time in his life.
