Thread: Seeing The Future???

Okay. I've read about Lucid Dreaming a while back. Tried it for a week but stopped. Now I'm reading about Lucid Dreaming again from this other site(i'll share if its allowed). Anyways, it says I would be able to "see the future" and "share".

How is seeing the future possible? What.. Our subconcious calculates things that happened already?

I'm not saying this is very impossible, I just want to know the explanation about seeing the future in a dream.. How is it possible?

There is a definate Split between the believers and non-believers here but I did have what may be deemed as an Astral Projection Dream experience which did actually forecast future events. It Happened, What can I say.

Yea. I guess I believe.... If there's people that do, it's probably possible. I doubt there's crazy people, lol. But I'd like to know "how it happens".. I mean.. Wow... How does it happen? lol

Yes I do believe, but only because it happened. I guess if I stared at these "Rationalists" behind their backs.......they would all "Turn Around" at the same time. (LOL). By the way, the effect of "feeling" someone staring at you from behind has, I believe been "Scientifically proven".

I don't think u can see the future...i think u an see things in ur preasent situation that encourage u what 2 do next in the future....
if that made any sense....

Well "Prophecy" has almost been the Foundation of Religion... even in modern times. Swedenborg would have been simply blown off as an insance old windbag, had he not been able to document actual true prophecies. Saint Catherine of Siena and Saint Bridget of Sweden would have been relegated to whereever they put all of the silly girls except that their prophecies were obviously, even alarmingly True. Modern Catholics today wear the Miraculous Medal because the Nun who proposed it was able to completely describe the Revolution of 1830 and give a complete casualty list before it happened, complete with what warnings were to be given to what specific individuals. They wanted to completely ignore her, but when they found the country suddenly plunged into the throes of a Revolution that nobody had been able to politically foresee, and that their very lives suddenly depended on acting upon the Visions of this 18 year old neophyte nun, then it occurred to them to ask again about the Medal that she said we should all begin to wear.

I myself have been told some things about the future. For instance, an Angel told me, and I quote, "The Church of Paul will have one last role to play". This may be subject to interpretation, as all Oracles are cryptic if nothing else, but I suppose the Catholic Church as we know it, is about to come to an end. Also, a Dream came to me showing that the World was undergoing a great Spiritual Drought, and that this would be addressed by a Movement to bring the World's Three Higher Religions to some Common Source of Spiritual Waters. If it will happen in my lifetime, then it must happen relatively soon, as I am quite the Old Man.

i've had a couple of premonitory dreams about the future, but i've paid them very little heed, because at the time i didn't know what they were. It's only when something happens, and i remember dreaming about it, that i realise.
For example, long before i started working in the nursing home, i had a dream that i would be going to america, only the day before i was due to fly, that i would be doing a fourteen hour day.
When the dream came to me, at the time it meant absolutely nothing, because i wasn't working at all, nor thinking of going to america.
However, I am now working in a nursing home, and going to america. And the day before i go, i am doing a fourteen hour day.

I've been in America a few times. Where will you be?

I am going to a place called Sarasota, in Florida. I am going to meet my parents out there, they went out there last august.
It will be good to see them again!!

I have had instances in which I have forseen the future in odd ways. For instance when I was three years old, I had a recurring (non-lucid) dream in which I walked down a tile hall to a wooden staircase, and had the most marvellous falling sensation, followed by a pulsation of green light the moment before I woke up. I had it several times that year, and then it stopped. Several years later (after moving houses), I had the same dream again. This time I recognized the hall and stairs, for they belonged to my new house! And when I woke, it was to the green glow of my nightlight. I cannot think of any explanation for this except for Farseeing, though I am by no means a Seeress, and know virtually nothing (save symbolism) in the area. Relatively few of my dreams have anything to do with the future, and NONE of them are lucid. Some of these are explainable by chance, but others I am not so sure about.

I had several different dreams when I was a teenager that eerily seemed to predict the future.

Once I had a dream that I was in the passenger seat of my fathers truck on the highway and we were hit head on by a car. It was so real I could feel pain. Less than a week later it really happened except I was not in the truck with him. Luckily he survived with only minor injuries.

A few years later I had a dreamt hat I stole my older sister's car and drove it into a pond. The VERY NEXT DAY her car was stolen and eventually found in a river.

I know it is hard to believe and I think I have even convinced myself over the years that it was a coincidence but those are just the 2 most dramatic examples out of quite a few. I'm not sure what I believe.

Yes, but isn't it great that the so called Boffins can't even begin to explain these events.

I had several dreams that really happened the next day.

The first one I dream of receiviing a letter from male college mate I hardly knew. I told my dream to a roommate the moment I woke up. That noon, I received a letter from him.

I also had dreams so real I knew they're going to happen the next day no matter what. For example I dream of being attacked by a group of small birds. They were flying furiously around me and attacking me from all directions at the same time.

I was so afraid to go out of my room the next day because I knew it will happen..

Then I went to the laundry at different building, did my laundry and on the way out, noticed a bird 's nest right above the door. I immediately knew the time has come and my heart was beating so hard.

As I went out, suddenly two cute birds came flying so fast towards me. They were focusing on my head and eyes flying back and forth towards me, so I covered my face with one hand while trying to shoo them away with the other hand.. I was so shock although I was expecting it to happen.

Only when I was a bit far away from their territory they stopped the attack.

The one thing that freaks me out about this is that I have often followed that little voices advice and averted certain situations. But if one does that is this tampering with the ultimate outcome. I think that while there may be possible 'mini futures', I believe that Ultimately the future is already set. (God I am starting to sound like that Woman in the Movie who sees the Highway Carnage). Can't think of the title.

I have an interesting set of beliefs... Not long ago I would have said that anything outside of this physical world was all make believe. I still do not believe in god however i now believe in the soul and other higher planes that a spirit can travel to. Why did my beliefs change? Well I will say that I have had some interesting experiences which I guess i would explain in more Buddhist terms as sort of stepping toward enlightenment.

I now believe that everyone is connected deep down by their souls and when we dream, it is something of another semiphysical plane without the restraints we have in this world. I think that dreams can defiantly be shared and have insight into the future. We don’t give the power of the mind enough credit, and anyone who can use its full potential in a dream can have an insight into things unexplained in this world. It is quite likely that there is something beyond the grasp of humans that happens especially since we have no explanation of how life started other than a chance mixing of a few acids in an early volcanicish earth. You only have to believe what you want to, but it is defiantly worth thinking hard about what you believe in.

Hi Mr Hoover. Isn't that really saying that Faith can Move Mountains.

Perhaps in a dream. But first show me someone who could believe that they could move a mountain in this world with sheer will power without a trace of a doubt. Then show me someone else who believes that the person did move the mountain with sheer will power. Then maybe i will show you two people who think that it is possible because the mountain is now in the east and not the west. But this world is made up of collective conciousness perhaps anyone who didn't believe it was possible would not see any difference... Dont take my word for it, who do i look like Allah?

Well..............Mr Hoover. I sometimes get the feeling (Not You of Course)......That the more Scientific Minded Here are taking the Piss. I have no need to doubt what I believe because I know it's True. You should know this. (I will Bow Out Now Before I go Off The Rails Again).

I used to believe in only true things... i found this too boring and decided i should expand my mind. Life is more entertaining when you look at people as little ewoks walking around socializing as they try to get laid. Its quite a sight if you ever see it. Id like to think that my life comprised of more than masticating, materbating, and matrimony. I guess i wont be too embarassed when i choke to death on a dart and it all goes black... i wont be around to think about how silly i was during my life believing in all that mumbojumbo.

And to think I like you Americans !!!. Maybe you have the same problems as us Brits.......... lol.........................I say Live and let Live.

It was? I'd like to hear more about that.
