Dream experiences?

Question:

Okay, here’s one that happened to me many, many years ago.  One night I kept dreaming over and over again about my boyfriend’s feet.  Something was wrong with his feet but I couldn’t figure out what it was.  The next morning he called to tell me he had shot himself in the foot the night before!  Kris

- Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – Hi, It is a very unusual feeling to have a dream come true. Many years ago I had a dream that came true and have remembered ever since.  The really unusual part for me is that the dream involved a reoccuring character.   The dream involved a friend of a friend who was walking through a dark woods the dream person punched him and he fell down.  The next day the person who was hit described the exact situation above only he was alone.  The feelings I had were a combination of extreme fascination and slack-jawed disbelief.

I had a dream when I was little that a man was under the bed (no, not the bogeyman) who tried to drag me under and hurt me.  I thought it was the typical bad-thing-under-the-bed until a man tried to break down the door outside my bedroom window…. odd little premonition, I think. FLUFF: also had a dream that Axl Rose dressed up as Lestat took me to a french restaurant in new orleans then aked me to sing when I lost my voice…. no more watching Interview before bed!  ;) Leanore *Dimplomacy is the fine art of letting someone else have your way. * *                                                                  * *       |      _,,,—,,_                                         * * ZZZzz /,`.-’`’    -.  ;-;;,_                                     * *      |,4-  ) )-,_. , (  `’-’                                    * *     ‘—”(_/–’  `-’_)                                         *

Greetings, Though I’m new, and usually silent for I still have much to learn…I felt I should share.  I have lots of these dream experiences.  I was 8 years old, when I woke up and told my mother, I had a dream that President Kennedy had been killed.  In the dream the radio was on and they announced that the President had been shot and was dead.  It was very real, I woke up and told my mom, I was very upset, it was so real.  She told me it was just a dream.  However, to me it was very real…I stayed with a bad feeling all day.  I also went next door to my cousins house and told her. Two days later the dream was reality.  As my grandmother, mother, little sister, and myself were driving down the street the announcement that President Kennedy had been shot and was dead came over the radio.  My grandmother being a big fan, and a little dramatic stopped the car in the middle of the street, and started screamming and crying, they finally killed him.  My mom, on the other hand turned and looked at me in awe.  I was very shaken.  Later in the day, my mom, explained to me, that she also, had dreams that sometimes came true, and there was nothing we could do about them, (remember I was only 8 and this was the 60’s) but, at the time I felt that if I hadn’t had the dream that it wouldn’t have happened. Newsgroups are new to me if I have done wrong please let me know…I’m not sure how this works as yet. Just Thought I’d Share  Roxana

Response:

Sure.  One that springs to mind immediately: several years ago, I had a dream in mid-August (in Pennsylvania) in which I saw a high-rise or condo with a chain-link fence around it and a playground and valley on the downhill side.  About two weeks later I was walking down a Boston street with some friends when we came to a corner one side of which was walled off by a construction fence.  I looked over this and saw the exact scene I’d dreamed about.  My own explanation is that I was then in a very hyper state…I was going out to dinner with a Certain Lady and had just awakened to the fact that she actually enjoyed my company…and probably radiating vibes all over the place; we didn’t go near the dream-scene, so the leakthrough into the past must have been simply excess energy spilling over.

I have only had one experience with dreams coming true:  I was very depressed, very hopeless, angry at myself and the world, and had tried suicide the night before.  I went to sleep to to escape, and had a dream of being in a room with slightly rose-tinted walls, in sorta dim light, and feeling someone’s arms around me, telling me that everything would be all right that that they were here for me. This was Wendsday before thanksgiving.  That Friday I went out with some friends, and met a guy, and the next day I saw him and I told him about my troubles, and he embraced me and said those things.  And then it hit. Although I will occassionally get deja-vu when on certain medications for some reason.   Mara

Response:

i know deja vu is a regularly experianced phenomonom.  but how regularly. i seem to have extremely strong feelings of being in a place before. to the point where i can predict what people are going to say.  what is average for experiancing deja vu?  and what exactly causes it?

I don’t know what is averagage for deja vu frequency, but supposedly everyone has it at some time or another.  If I am remembering correctly (any scientists out there please correct me), the current theory is that a synapse accidentally fires twice.  Once when processing the even happening and again a fragment of a second later, so you get a feeling  that the thing happening has happened before, even though you know it hasn’t.  (Let me repeat that I am scientifically-illiterate; ask your science-minded friends about this.) However, if you are predicting what people will say _before_ they say it, then that is not deja vu, but some form of precog.  I have had this happen a handful of times with other people, and it happens constantly with my SO.  I often know what he is about to say, before he says it.  Even more common, one of us will be thinking of something (often something completely off the wall and unrelated to what’s going on around us at the time) and suddenly the other will start talking about that exact thing.  Sometimes the other will make the exact comment the first one was planning on making.  We’ve been together six years and are very close; I assume that is why it happens with us.   I guess we are attuned to one another’s "vibes" or something; I don’t really _know_ what causes it. And, of course, if your precog is causing you to be aware of situations in addition to what is about to be said, then you’ve got a stronger and more interesting form than what I just described.

Response:

I sometimes have dreams about my loved ones or friends. These are never good things. The only time I seem to dream about people I know is when bad things are happening. I used to try to warn them, but they don’t believe me.  Any insight?

Maybe?!  Have any of your warnings ever come true, since they don’t listen to you and do what they want anyway?  Many years ago, I gave a few warnings and they did not listen — the result was that I was running with an accuracy of about 50/50.  So, now my warnings are taken a little more seriously!  Of course, sometimes they don’t follow them and sometimes they don’t pan out; however, sometimes they do.  What can I say, I gave them and it is up to the person to decide if the risk is worth it or not; and I’ve basically come to understand that I am really giving them more possibilities of what the outcome may be rather than something that is actually going to be.  I’m really just saying, "Have you thought that your actions may cause this or that!"

: Have any of you who have had precog dreams written them down : at the time, and had them come true later? : Lissa

Yes, numerous times when I was keeping a dream journal. One in particular involved walking along a road and meeting a man sitting in a field with a broken rail fence, filled with dead weeds. He was rather dejected looking, so I walked into the field and asked him if He was okay, or could I do something to help. He looked up with a shocked look on his face, and said no, but thank you for asking and he began to cry. I felt his depression, it was bone deep and it felt like the saddest thing I could imagine and then even more. I took his hand and held it while he cried for a while, then he stopped said "Thank you. You need to go home now." I went back out to the road and the dream changed scenes. Wrote it down in the journal the next morning because it was so different from the rest of the dream. The day after that, we got a call from a good friend of my SO, who was asking us to attend the funeral of his eldest brother. Man had committed suicide rather than bankrupt himself looking for a bone marrow donor. I had never met him, the suicide had occurred some time in the late afternoon on the day before my dreaming. We showed up and went to pay our respects before taking our seats in the main chapel. The man in the coffin was the crying man in the field of weeds with the broken fence. The precog usually isn’t this dramatic, though. Thankfully.

    Well, in June 1985. I was living in Washington State and I     had a feeling that the numbers 421 were going to come up     on the daily number draw. Nope, I didn’t put dime one on     them and am still kicking myself for this 10+ years later.     Another couple of time living in Oregon, I had a feeling about     the last number in Powerball Lottery. It was a feeling that the     Powerball number was going to end in 7, 17, 27, or 37. So, I     bought tickets with that ending only. Didn’t win the lottery, but     for a $20 investment, I came out winning $200.     So far, nothing more has come to me. But I am still hoping     and waiting. No, I don’t use a magic to win the lottery. I feel    that it would be detrimental to me and possibly, I might prevent    somebody from winning that REALLY needs the money.    Not that I could really use it, but that I get by and that’s better    then alot are doing out there.     " An Inmate "

There is two ways which I know of in which you can ‘work’ with the dreams themsleves, so that they will be more fully understood and better remembered when the actual moment comes. Both are involved and require dedication to achieve. If you are interested we can correspond through Email (I go nuts trying to sort through the trash on these news (flame?) groups)                                    ugly.george                                    DOM – seeker of truths  –

I’m all eyes!  Go ahead for I eagerly wait to hear what these methods are! Black Widow

future? Welcome to the wonderful world of precog confusion… Used to happen to me lots when I was a kid but unfortunately cynicism and the pressures of mundane life made this occur less and less. Used to drive my grandmother nuts because I would dream about someone we knew visiting and tell her all about it right down to the conversation and within a day or 2 it would happen. She said I ruined all her conversations that way. Only thing is you have to be careful to not assume all these experiences are precog. Some are just deja vu that you think you must have dreamed about or else you saw something like the album cover quickly without consciously registering it but included it in your dream and when you saw it consciously later were amazed.

Has anyone had dreams about things, situations, or places they have never seen or experience and have them come true sometime in the future?

This used to happen to me a lot when I was younger.The dreams would be forgotten untill the event happened to remind me of the dream. There was one instance that scared me because of it’s accuracy. Freaked my English teacher out too. This was the 60’s so this and the fact that my mother was and still is a "let it be known to all Astrologer" made it hard growing up out there in a Podunk Bible Farm community. We were considered the local "Devil Worshippers"….  :-) Now much older, I do have the dreams but few and far between. And now the events happen much later after having the dream. And yes making it much harder to distinguish between Deja-Vu and dreaming the future. I am positive though the ones I had when I was younger weren’t Deja-Vu. — I’m walking around all by myself in the garden of regular division of planes. No matter how much satisfaction may be derived from possessing one’s own domain, the loneliness is difficult to bear.                                                         MC. Escher

I am not that good yet, but I have found as I get older these dreams occur more and more.  Even more so when I became Wiccan, where I can accept that anything is possible.  Maybe not believing that these type of ‘dreams’ didn’t mean anything when I was younger probably cause me to ignore them and just think that they are dreams. Only thing is you have to be careful to not assume all these experiences are precog. Some are just deja vu that you think you must have dreamed about or else you saw something like the album cover quickly without consciously registering it but included it in your dream and when you saw it consciously later were amazed. But hey, you aint alone. It happens. Just life in the big multiverse.

I still don’t understand how I would have know what the album cover looked like when the day I went to get was it’s release date.  Also at the time this dream happened we didn’t have cable, so that means we didn’t have MTV.  So I don’t know how I would saw it before the dream.   Don’t worry no one else believes me on that one either.

Response:

: I have had many instances of deja vu–the feeling that I have done : this thing or dreamed this thing before–but I know that I did not : actually dream it.

I have dreams of the place, the people involved in the situation at the time and the conversation.  To me it seems to be a little bit more than just ‘deja vu’.  Any comments on what you think ‘deja vu’ is?  To me it is just one of the things I listed above like being in a place you never seen before but feeling like you have been there before.  I don’t think ‘deja vu’ would involve all the three things I have listed.  It seems to me a little bit stronger than that.  But that is just my opinion.

Response:

If your are interested in dream prophecies take a look at a fascinating book: _An Experiment With Time_ by John Dunne (not the poet, instead he was a 1920s psychic researcher).  The book was printed in the 20s, so your only good bet for finding it is libraries. His theory is that dream-consciousness is time-independent.  Dreams are made up of snippets of events from the past, present, and future, with a bias towards recent (past or future) events.  His theories about how this all works as fascinating, and may even be true. Blessings

Response:

Has anyone had dreams about things, situations, or places they have never seen or experience and have them come true sometime in the future? (whether it be the next day or years later?)  This happens to me all the time.  I have had dreams about seeing someone’s album cover, and have never seen it before, and see it the next day the exact way I dreamed it.  I have also had dreams of certain situations and where I will be working somewhere and a certain situation comes up and have it happen years later and at the place I dreamed I worked at.  This is so strange, but I was wondering if anyone has had the same experience?  And if you had, has it help you or make situations worse for you?  I have had it help me because I ’see’ the situation before and know how to deal with it when it happens. Just wondering if I am alone in these weird occurances or not.
