Possible Causes for precognitive dreams?

Hi everyone,
I make money trading the financial markets. Lately I've had several flashes of market outlook accurately just before waking up, as if an image of the coming day's market movement was burned deeply into my mind. I've had 4 of them in the last few months, and I can't recall anything extraordinary I did on the days before I had these visions.
If you've had similar experiences, would you be willing to discuss what you had done that could of contributed to your precognitive dreams? (e.g. stuff you ate, things you did, your mood during the day... etc.)

thanks!

my girlfriend claims burning mimosa incense during sleep induces precognitive dreams for her.

Thanks for replying, elsoñador.
I was thinking about this, and I do remember something that might be of significance. Due to diabetes in the family, I've been on an extremely low sugar diet, and the last 2 times I've had these premonitions, the last thing I did before going to bed was excercise (which pretty much uses up stored carbohydrates from your body for energy). Do you guys think that having a low volume of sugar or carbohydrates in the body has anything to do with it?

strange, she has very low blood sugar as well. there could be a correlation, but once again i'm not sure, i could be very wrong. I bet a very non-chalant affirmation before going to sleep could incubate a precog dream...affirmations are sometimes stunning

Sorry I haven't responded for a while. I've had several more of these premonitions in terms of market action in the next day. It's as if I'm getting freebies from satan or something, haha. Well, I'm still on the extremely low-sugar diet, and have been working out with weights consistently at night before going to bed. Oh yeah, besides that, I have been avoiding stimulants and depressants, so no alcohol, caffeine, nicotine... etc. According to this book on ESP, these chemicals hinder our mind powers, but it could just be total BS.
Has anyone else had these experiences? any comments would be appreciated.

(Oh a sidenote, I am healthier than I have ever been, since I've stopped drinking, smoking, and eating sugar filled substances. If you are not aware of how addictive and harmful sugar is, check this out, http://www.mercola.com/2005/may/4/sugar_dangers.htm)

I remember a time in my life I was experimenting with FireWorks alot. I was about 12 years or so. Then one night I had a Terrifying Nightmare of lighting a firecracker somewhere in my block and it blowing up in my hand some 40 cm from my face. I saw my vision fade to black quickly, heard a rushing sound in my ears and knew I was deaf too. and then I could just feel myself falling backwards down a high curb. It was so frightening I immediately stopped being such a Terrorist with FireWorks.

In this case I think it was more a Message from the One me (My subconcious; who knew I was acting dangeriously and irresponsible) to my Other me (My concious mind: who liked blowing stuff up, kind of ignoring the obvious Hazards)

In a way it really DID change the course of events in the future. NOT predict it. more like a warning of a possibility.

I don't think that PreCognitive dreams are Mysterious views of the future and what's to come, but that they are symbolical messages of your subconciousmind making you aware of what MIGHT happen in the future, what is possible or even likely to happen. Things our waking mind usually puts away and doesn't wanna face.

It is probably very similar to the athlete's experience of being "in the zone". And they are hard pressed to explain the phenomena, especially to the extent of being able to control and induce the condition.

What exactly is 'being in the zone'? Well, in just one instant moment one suddenly has a complete understanding of what one is about to do -- the exact right move. And it always is. One can see how such a thing would be wonderful for any athlete to have on demand all of the time. But it comes and goes. Only the great athletes seem to always play at that level. Head butting and all.

Now, for an equities trader or for one dealing in commodities, as a kind of sport, then having an instant flash of the Market's Condition, and how one will play it, is akin to that Sports Mens 'being in the zone'.

It is very elusive and many athletes deceive themselves as to whether or not they are 'in that zone'. They really should know. When one is 'in the zone' there is no doubt. If one has to think about it, then one 'isn't' in the zone. I suspect they really know as much, but can't admit it to their team mates, or perhaps to themselves. But if you can be honest to yourself and know that you have really gotten a 'flash', then while you are making money for your bosses and for your clients, put some of your own money into play.

But you need to be careful. Compulsive Gamblers are people who have had these experiences of in the zone certainty... flashes. They have a sudden realization that they know the cards or the dice and it pays off. It is like an ecstatic moment. Very addicting. A form of rapture. And so these people return to the tables again and again and again, hoping that the 'lightning will strike twice' ... hoping that by placing themselves into the same circumstances, this access to Situational Realization will return. They should have enough sense and self-awareness to know they are not in the Zone, but they stand their ground and they Hope.

So, be careful. Hope doesn't pay the mortgage.

Thank you for the feedback, fellas.
Your post made a lot of sense, Leo. I now wonder how these athletes become "in the zone", and will look it up. But yes, I had only followed through the trades when they agreed with the technicals, and they had so far. However, there's been only 5-6 instances, having 5-6 winners in a row means nothing when the technical analysis gets me 80% winners as status quo.
Also Ska, I agree that it is possible that they could be analysis from the subcounscious instead of some divine message from the unknown.
I have not had anymore of these flashes since the last forum post. Lately I've been stressed over some family issues, not sure if that's a factor.

I just joined and read this topic. I have had several dreams that have correctly depicted the future. Mostly it has to do with relationships. For example I had a dream that I was out in my back yard (a house that was mine but never been to in real life) and it was a fantastic day. I could hear birds feel the sun smell the air, but in the room behind me was my girlfriend cheating on me. I didn’t do anything about it but later she came out holding the hand of the guy she was with and bluntly told me she had just cheated on me. I punch the guy and he fell to the floor. The dream stopped and restarted on the back lawn with me facing both of them and telling him that I was sorry for punching him but that it wasn’t right for him to come to my house and disrespect me and her by doing what he did. That is where the dream ended. Two weeks later I passed by the break room where my girlfriend at the time and I worked and I glanced and saw her kissing another guy. The dreams seem to tell me that they are predictions, and I know what they are just because of how the dream feels, but they always seem to "come true" about two weeks after having the dream. Almost every relationship I’ve had, will have a dream and end how the dream depicted it. The dreams themselves are a little obscure, but when I reflect on them it happens just as it did, just not verbatim. An example might be in a dream, I show a shoe salesman my shoe and he automatically knows the size I am without saying anything, but in real life it might play out as me telling him my shoe size and then he knows what size I am. It's hard to explain, but I have them, but sadly do not have control of them. My understanding of why I have them is not necessarily because I am predicting the future, but rather calculating the most likely outcome. I don’t think its paranormal, just comparing actions, words, experiences, and dozens of other factors, sub-consciously calculate them and manifest the answer in a dream. This has been happening since I can remember but only till recently have been increasing in regularity, and accuracy. I hope this helps!

That may have something to do with Mimosa Bark containing DMT: N,N-Dimethyltryptamine: One of worlds most Powerfull Psychedelic Substances known to man. It's overwhelming and immersive and within seconds onsetting effects when smoked in pure DMT-crystal form seem to be responsible for experienced that seem to come close to Near Death Experiences and UFO abductions and such paranormal phenomena. It is this what Leads Scientists to believe DMT is responsible for the Psychedelic occurance of our dreams and also the ''tripping behaviour'' of Schizophreniacs. In fact research pointed out that DMTlevels in schizophreniac's blood are much higher than in mentally healthy people. Allthough the Role of DMT in dreams and Schizophrenia are only SPECULATIONS, they are Defenitely Speculations I share :wink:
DMT as a natural source human spirituality an paradoxes? If proven to be true: DMT would Litterally be the Stuff Dreams are made of :content:

Radedadeda...but anyways: therefor the possibly low levels of DMT containing Mimosa incense your girlfriend burns during sleep may be the cause of that. Did she also report to you more vivid dreams while burning Mimosa Incense? And if she didn't could you ask her? Sounds interresting.

As for DMT: It is found in many many plants and surprisingly: Also it is produced in the Human Brain, in the Pineal Gland: Thus it isn't toxic. The smallest doses are enough to lead Universe the into a Gun, Aim at your Brain and Fire...Figuratively speaking :wink: I plan on smoking DMTcrystals someday soon, because the effects are profound and immersive. But I defenitely will do it at nighttime (The experience last no longer than an hour, usually shorter) so that I can rush out and fall asleep. I wonder what my dreams will be like then.
