Thread: Can dreams be a peek into the future

IMO, simply no.
Reason - why should it be, what's the logic behind it.
I havent seen any signs of it.
Sure there are people who experienced things from their dreams happening in real life, but since dreaming is related (tie back) to something you experience everyday,it's most likely normal for it to happen.
If you dream about having a new member to a soccer game, and you play soccer in your school, it doesn't count as fortune telling is it.
Unless that person is exactly like in your dream then maybe xD.

This happen to me once only though. I had a dream where i was showing off a sword in a game with my enchantment to my friends, and days later i ended up recreating that moment unintentionally (i showed him the same sword with some enchantment) at the same location in the game!.
But even though that happen, i was nonchalant about it, dont know why because it should be weird and surprising moment.

Thanks a lot for clarifyin.. Had it been a happy moment(in the dream), perhaps i wouldn't even bother.. but it was a really sad one(untimely death of a loved one) and seemed so real..like i remember the minute details, somethin which makes me worry all the more.. But i guess i'll go with you and hope it's got nothin to do with the future..once again, thanks a ton!

well really there is no logic in dreams and to this day it cant be properly explained why you have dreams, why you travel back in time, see people and places you never seen before. unless if your a famouse scientist you cant really say NO with curtainty. there are alot of things in our world that are happening which are unexplained with no logic behind it

I believe everything you see in dreams you have seen before.

I don't necessarily believe that dreams follow the same linear timeline as waking life. Perhaps this can account for some of the synchronicity of dreams "predicting" the future. I don't think there's much evidence behind this theory, however, so you can probably just call it a coincidence and be done with it.

There is some logic in dreams, it's just not as rigid as it is in real life since everything is a pure creation of your mind. What kinds of things happen in life that have no logic behind them?

It may not be proper, I'm fond of improper things, but I have an explanation as to why you have dreams. We dream because we are constantly thinking or have some kind of mental activity on. When you sleep you are shut off from your senses and because of this the images you see when thinking something are much more vivid, almost real. You see certain memories because they have some significance to you. This is my curtified non-scientific opinion.

I've read that some "enlightened" people who are able to "stop"(not exactly what they are doing if I understand it but I don't feel like explaining it since I don't completely understand it) don't dream. This isn't even what the guy said, but this is what I think he meant(the book is The flight of the Eagle by J Krishnamurti. I highly recommend it).

We are always thinking about the past and the future and all sorts of stuff, this creates our dreams. If you are really in tune with your life maybe like people are saying your subconscious can drop hints about what might happen in the future, but I would think you could only see things that you are already vaguely aware of.
