Premonitions Through Dreams

[Iro]

This question came to my mind when I recalled a certain dream that I had a few months ago, I dreamnt that I was sitting alone at the back of a bus looking in front, it was night time and a few people were left sitting in the front row of the bus. And a few months after, it did come true... i said to myself "I already dreamn't of this." It's a feeling similar to deja vu but you see what happens through your dreams. Have you ever experienced this kind of situation? Do you think that we can be able to see the future through dreams? Discuss.

[Ollson]

No, i don't think it's possible to see the future in dreams.
You most likely dreamt something similar and when something that reminded you of the dream happened.
Your mind filled in the blanks that you had forgot with what you saw at the moment.
So you just thought that what you dreamt was exactly like what you were doing.
When in fact, it was just slightly similar.

[Iro]

Yes, probably. But then why do i have countless dreams that happens months, weeks or years after it happened. Probably i dreamed of similar situations that are like my dreams, then why'd i have the feeling as if i know what to expect and what to happen and it all comes true? is it just a coincidence? or something more?

[SHiKaMaRi]

I have same issues. You're doing something, and when you look around, realization hits you - I've dreamt of this before. It doesn't matter how long ago that dream was, but you just remember you did dream of it before. Its not big things like: I dreamt that he chokes on his water, its just the place and how things are set out- to me that's how it is anyway. Doesn't happen a lot to me, but it still does.

Yeah, i have and i know of many ppl who this happens too. If it's not due to the fact that humans have an extra sensory perception, then there are other valid theories.
For eg, human mind is the most complex thing in the entire universe. Maybe in some freaky way...the mind has chosen all the routes possible that could happen in a given day (or over the course of ur life so far) and has come to a point where it believes u will be - ie/ at what time of the day u would be doing something. Because it's u. ppl don't change all that much over their livves = predictable bhvr.
ie, ur mind knew it was going to sit at the back of the bus because that's where u usually prefer to sit. Or the fact that u've done it before several times and it was just similar as Ollson suggested.

Also, with deja vu - if u don't believe in reincarnation and other ESP stuff - theres a theory which says that sometimes your eye is not able to process the information as quickly as it should. So it processes it TWICE. And because ur mind works incredibly fast, it runs the same thing through the optical nerve and to the brain twice in a like half a second or less. That's y sometimes when ur doing something u know what ur gonna do even before u do it or what someone else is gonna do. Because u've already seen it occur - its been seen twice...just so fast.

Me? i don't believe that theory above most of the time - although its very valid ^^. lol, its just that when i'm talking to someone and i ahve deja vu - how do i know what they're about to say?? (maybe my mind slows/speeds and i process the info twice?)...

freaky
:P

[Iro]

that was long, bro but i also agree with your theory. i know i might some weird or may talk about nonsense but it is possible... because now we live in a world where a few people believe in normal beings having gifts (third-eye, premontions, telekinesis, etc) do you think it is possible that premontion through dreams is an ability that we all have and if we choose so to develop we can be able to conrtol then we can be able to see clearly the occurence in the future. sorry for the side-track but i am curios.

anyway, there is a term for this kind of dreams its called Prophetic Dreams: Prophetic dreams, also referred to as precognitive dreams, are dreams that seemingly foretells the future. One rational theory to explain this phenomenon is that our dreaming mind is able to piece together bits of information and observation that we normally overlook or that we do not seriously consider. In other words, our unconscious mind knows what is coming before we consciously piece together the same information. (got this info from the net)

[Decado]

lol, yeah...i'm a typing-freak. (too much comp / programming at uni *shudder*)

but ur second paragraph is wat i was suggesting in my first - though u worded it infinitely better. I seriously beleive that to be the case.
with ur first question (developing our extra sense) its been the case where ppl actually have shown some merit - coulda been a fluke who knows.
but there is a theory (yeah another one ^^, there a theory for everything..just hardly enough proof) that says we DO have that extra sense (everyone) and so we can develop. we just don't know how.
i'm not usre if everyone has it tho...maybe its more in some than others.

[SHiKaMaRi]

Well, my sister's boyfriends' mom seems to have several bad dreams from time to time, and they once, she had a bad dream, it came true or something. *according to my sister..* It sounds rather.. stupid, but everytime she gets a bad dream on anybody in the family, that family member just stays home and be extra careful.
THough it sounds fake, I believe that such things can happen, and I agree to the theory that the two 6th div'z people said.

[Iro]

Yes, to support arran's theory regarding people having extra senses/abilities. according to one article i read regarding third-eye (the ability to see the dead) everyone has a third-eye some are just dormant because they refuse to believe on the supernatural, others are open from the start and you can even learn how to open your third eye but there are risks, you have to be ready for what you are about to see. I dont know... but there are psychics being shown in tv and they can sense, feel even see ghost which i am partly convinced.

In relation to premontions through dreams as i said earlier we can develop our ability to sense the future (premonitions, etc), but im not sure, its really complicated, even scientific, psychological and supernatural studies don't have similar reasoning or theories regarding the matter. It is best for us to decide and be open to other theories.

[Ollson]

There is a possibility that those stuff exists.
But it seems too much of a fantasy for me.
Personally, i like the theory that the universe is a hologram (i found a long explaination for this theory in someone's sig).
And that everything we see is just an illusion created by this hologram.
And if i remember correctly, in a hologram, everything holds all the information about everything in the hologram.
According to that explaination of the theory.
There's actually pretty good evidence that this is the case.
For example that some scientists found that every atom communicates with every other atom instantly, it doesn't matter if they're 1 metre apart or 1 billion metres apart.
Which is impossible according to modern science cause no way of communication can move faster than the speed of light.
This means that all the information in the entire universe is in you.
So when you sleep, sometimes some of it may come to your consciousness.
But i'm not sure if i remember correctly.
And ofcourse, i'm not sure if that explaination is true or not but i like that theory.

I have exactly the same sort of dreams. Like a couple of weeks ago I dream't that I would be recieving an invitation to a wedding, the day after I dream't that an invitation for a letter appeared inviting me to that wedding.

[Ollson]

@rohil, did you know that someone was getting married?
Did you have as much as a hunch that someone was getting married?
If so, it's not that weird that you would be dreaming about getting invited.
Even if you didn't even have a clue that they were thinking about marriage.
You could have been reminded of the couple during the day or the week and saw something about weddings on the tv or in the newspaper without thinking about it.
And then when you dreamt, your mind added the two things together.
And then it was just a coincidence that you got the invitation the next day.

[blackrican]

I've had that happen to me a couple of times. Not as recent as it use to be, but I did have dreams where they came true. I've had scary dreams that Idk if there come true or not but was freaked out by how real it felt. But besides that I have had dreams where they have came true before.

[shadow_of_89]

It is said that exist special dreams in which your soul leaves the body and can travel shortly through time and space....also in dreams u can create your own universe and somehow u can influence the reality by creating it.....and at some extent some things will be the same....this is what i think:D

[Future]

it has happened to me once or twice... but ... i only remember like a second or two of the dream... and stuff

[emmasu]

@arrn; sorry, i wanna read your theory but got no time, maybe later:winking56
well, thats true guys in all of what you are saying and it happens to me alot, so i have asked about that long time back and i have asked people who are older than and they told me that actually human can see whats going to happen whats going to happen in their lives and they see all of it in their dreams and they can see the whole future but the problem is that they forget what they have dreamt about, thats why when you are in apostion or aplace and then you feel, well this happened to me before or i have been here before but you do not remember.

[sherenetms]

I believe that such cases happened despite that fact that it is indeed rather hard to believe. =s

Like said, in this modern age, there are very few people who believe in such kind stuff and would rather choose to ignore it if they were to actually experience it themselves. For all subjects, there's always a two-way method to explain it. One is the scientific way and another would be the traditional superstitious way. It all depends on the subject itself. Some can be proven in both ways while some only agrees to one side.

In this case, however, i believe that it can be defined through both methods. Scientifically, there are already many theories on how this happen as the above posters had mentioned in their post. I wont go through it again. it's sooo long. But there is also another one which states that when the human mind is unconscious to a certain incident, it tends to repeats it over and over again. The same thing applies to the mind when the individual is sleeping. There's alot of other theories that can be directly connected to this one. But I'm not 100% sure about it so i'll go do some research and see if i can come up with more points.

On the other hand......umm.....the other way. Some people believe that this is a rare case in which only certain humans are bestowed with the gift. Normally, practitioners of a certain religion (this is a mere statement that is not directed at any particular religion) would believe that when they are closer to their God, they would be able to forsee things that are coming their way, bad or good. It is like a blessing to them to be able to see what the future has in store for them. There are other also superstitions as well. Some includes black magic and stuff unimaginable. This is all i know for the moment.

This kind of stuff happens to me, but too bad it is about wierd stuff that doesn't matter at all.

[Sado Yasutora]

This kind of thing happens to me rather frequently to be honest. It usually happens with conversations. I'll be having a conversation with someone and then in my brain I know exactly what they are about to say and what my response will be but I can't stop myself from saying it.

No I did not know anyone that was getting married. I just dream't that I would get an invitation and then I did. Like I said before, you may or may not believe me, it is up to you.

I don't remember seeing anything about marriges on tele or in the newspaper, seeing as I hardly read the papers and I don't watch any programs which has recently had anyone married or engaged.
