Time control in your dream?

[Chewnie91]

Im a person who has alot of dejavoo dreams, they always fascinate me. Somtimes they are even as specific as a certain time of the day it occurs and i know its about to happen. My question is, would it be possible to control your dreams so that it controls the future events of your life? I mean since we can predict the future somewhat with our dejavoo dreams, would it be possible to control them? Just curious lol

[Darz]

you're saying when u dream things there will happen in real life?

[Chewnie91]

Yes have you ever had a dream, where it actually occurs in real life? I have them all the time, not anything crazy just normal life events like my mom taking the mirror off her car. I was wondering if it would be possble to control these dreams, hence controlling the future kinda sorta

[AirRick101]

I think it's a pretty far-fetched thought. I don't think it's possible. It would be pretty awesome if you could just write your future like that, though. But it sounds more like you're going to believe it based on what somebody on these forums say....if someone replied and said "Yes, you can" ~ would you believe them?

[Higurashi]

Yea, I agree with AirRick, I'm not sure that's possible. Though I think once or maybe twice something happened to me in a dream previous to it happening to me in waking life.

It's generally more assumed that precognitive dreams are based on you "reading" your future, not the dream itself deciding it. Also, most people don't know a dream tells the future until after the event takes place, which is a mental bias. Even if you could control the future by controlling precognitive dreams, you wouldn't know what's just a dream and what's actually the real thing.

The subconscious has extraordinary powers to create your reality. Experiments conducted by people who have communicated with the subconscious mind of subjects, through hypnosis and so on, indicate that if the subconscious holds a firm intention, then that intention will come true unless conscious steps are taken to avoid it. So, it may be possible to visualise something and then have the subconscious create the reality. But, of course, asking if there is some technique to induce this with certainty and accuracy is wasting your time. As for being able to control the future in some sort of mystical, supernatural way - there is presently no verifiable evidence for it; not that that stops people from believing in it if they want to.

Nope, I don't think that would work, dreaming of the future is supposed to show something that will happen, if you have control of that, then its not much future, is it?

[Specialis Sapientia]

Nope, I don't think that would work, dreaming of the future is supposed to show something that will happen, if you have control of that, then its not much future, is it? It can show one of the many possible futures, if you know about the future, you can choose one over another.

[Chewnie91]

Ya I myself didnt have too much belief in it, It would take a large number of sources and liable experiemnt results to convince me it can be done.I just wanted to see what other people had to say about it cause i thought it would be interesting to see other peoples views on this topic. Has anyone ever actually done any experimenting with this?

[Hukif]

It can show one of the many possible futures, if you know about the future, you can choose one over another. True, but how you know its the future if your actively changing it? The times I recognize as "future" dreams are the ones where I have no action over it, even tough I find myself thinking in the dream about how I already had that dream and how much I hate to dream about future events... Its frustrating to me that later people will do exactly the same and that I will know exactly how they will move <.< Then again I suppose it can be possible (just closer to impossible) lol And no experiments from me.

If it was possible to dream your future and control it, then the reverse could also be true, that we can dream or astral travel to our past and change our choices, thus also affecting the future. BUT, changing some choices might prevent us from trying to change anything in the first place. Just as we can create a past paradox, couldn't controlling our future create one also?

Lol yes very true, I would still like to personally try this out when i master lucid dreaming, which im still far from haha. Just the thought of even being able to visit the future but have no physical influence on it is amazing. With that we would then maybe be able to change the future events coming in the waking world, since we know whats going to happen. For ex: say i visit the future in my dream, im in the house and my mom's vase breaks because of my dog. So when i wake up and write this down, when its about to occur in the waking world i see it coming and stop my dog from breaking the vase. possible?

[AirRick101]

you might as well dream that tomorrow you wake up with infinite money in your bank account, several beautiful wives in every major city who never fight over you, posh cars to your heart's delight.... wait, scratch all that ~ you might as well dream you are the king of the universe!! but then, you'd probably reply "but I need to dream this within a realistic context!!" then, boy...what is the point of dreaming, in that case???

So when i wake up and write this down, when its about to occur in the waking world i see it coming and stop my dog from breaking the vase. possible? You know I am not going to say that its not possible, because over time, everything was impossible at some point. In our history we have believe some rediculious things that are now common knowledge. (such as the Earth rotates around the sun and the Earth is round). In our time now? I would say it's a reach, but again someone always needs to be the first. Who says evolution has to advance for us more physically, who is to say over the next 100/1000 years our advancements might be more psychically to make this action possible. It would certainly change our concept of time thats for sure. In the meantime though, while your practising, can you get me the lotto numbers?

question is, would it be possible to control your dreams so that it controls the future events of your life? I mean since we can predict the future somewhat with our dejavoo dreams, would it be possible to control them? Just curious lol In a manner of speaking, yes. Consider a situation that would make you nervous, something like your first time having sex. Being nervous about it could be disastrous. But if you were able to practice in a lucid dream before hand, it would theoretically give you some experience, effectively changing how your real first time will unfold in the future. But if you're talking about control, then the three elements for controlling dreams are what you pay attention to, your personal archetypes, and emotions. I recommend you watch the movie Paycheck to understand how paying attention to something can affect change the future, since that's essentially what it's about. Suffice it to say olympic gold medalists and nobel prize winners aren't thinking about partying all the time. That's something you can do in dreams and while awake, but I think all dream control is like that. One ting you can do in dreams to influence the future is develop or prune your personal archetypes. In order to learn something, people have to compare the new thing with stuff they already know, making lots of associations. An archetype or shema is the sum total of those associations. These are what limit the very possibilities of our seperate realities, and determine what is possible. Someone who doesn't believe in UFOs isn't going to know much about them, and will have an undevelopped system in that regard. They probably wouldn't even bother to look up at the sky, where as someone who does believe in UFOs would likely spend a great deal of time looking upwards. That alone increases the probability that they would actually see something, where as the person who doesn't look up doesn't even have the possibility of seeing anything abnormal in the sky. What you are focused on radically changes your future. Basically you can find systems in your dreams that allow for the future outcomes you want. You can even prune, refine and devellop those systems to further tweak the possibilites the future might hold.

[Chewnie91]

So what your basically saying is that it would be possible to have some knowledge and influence over the future, but it would require a lot of practice, concentration, and determination from trial and error. Is there any specific method to try and prepare the self for controlling "dejavoo" dreams? And if so how would you be aware that the dream your in is dream that will occur in the future?

[complexkills]

i think that it may be possible but its very complex ill try to get more info on it i had a friend explin this to me a few months ago but i cant remeber all of it.
