So, for as long as I can stretch my mind back to remember my dreams, I have been able to navigate through them and make seemingly conscious decisions about what goes on in them. Interspersed throughout my life, I have had precognitive dreams; meaning, after I write them down, they happen. I decided to go back to college to learn more about dreams and dreaming and maybe get some insight into the implications of precognitive dreams. One of the things I came up with, is that maybe I dream lucidly too much. That's basically the only kind of dreaming I do. The dreams that have ended up being precognitive just come to me, and I don't manipulate them for whatever reason. It's almost like two rides at disney world. One ride is interactive, like that buzz lightyear thing where you can shoot stuff. The other (precog) is like thundermountain, where you are taken on a ride and all you can do is observe. Anyway, I am going under the assumption that precognitive dreams are significant, whereas lucid dreams are more of a technique or way to dream for (i dunno? entertainment? just for wow factor?) something else. If precognitive dreams are one day proven or mapped out in the realm of observable and repeatable science, the implications are earthshattering. Future knowledge gained during dreaming? It SOUNDS absurd, but if it's true (to my mind it IS true) then science has a lot to talk about. I'm not gonna sit here and list all those reprocussions that precognitive dreaming brings, but if you think about receiving knowledge of the future in a dreamstate, that's pretty far-reaching. Anyway, the idea is, I feel like lucid dreams could possibly get in the way of something much bigger. Why manipulate what we recieve in dreams? I don't know the answer, and all I'm doing is proposing the question. Maybe it doesn't interfere at all, and I hope it doesn't, because almost every dream I have had in I don't know how long has been lucid... and I haven't had a clear precog dream in like 3 years.
