Is it possible to see the future in dreams?

universal laws apply to all as one and govern all that is.

What relV said - all of our conservation laws are based off this very fact. Our accurate observations have conluded that the laws of physics are the same at least to the edge of the visible universe. This concept is called symmetry, and is probably one of the most important governing principles in all of physics. For instance, the fact that the laws of physics are the same in every place in our visibile universe gives rise to the conservation of momentum.

And, presuming there are different universes, would it be possible to travel between those universes?..

The idea of different universes is still in its infancy, but supposing they do exist, and they could exist in a few different scenarios (paralell universes, multiverse network etc.), then it is quite possible that we may be able to travel between them. I’ve always liked this article for a very layman’s guide to escaping the universe (and I hope the link works this time):

Okay. Now. Let me say this:

I’m 14 and I’ve been able to see the future in my dreams for as long as I can remember.
At some point a few years beck I started keeping track of these dreams. Now a days I’m able to say what a person is going to say BEFORE they say it.

Let me point this out. This is the basic stuff I’ve collected.:
#1 You have no control over when you see the future in a dream; Its random. Also, it can be as far out as Four years, or as soon as three days from the dream(From Personal experience.)

#2 This manner of seeing the future is Lucid Dreaming. Its almost as if you’re watching the event(s) happen on a big screen TV. I know that when I get these dreams they almost Present themselves as lucid to me.

#3 You do not “See” the future you think it. This is something that becomes more, and more apparent to me every dream I have. Any form of thought that happens at the dream moment is replicated. Touch is not a thought. It is a thoughtless response from the nerves in the human body. If you have one of these dreams notice that you can see, hear, and think within them while also being able to think within your own brain.

From this the only thing I get is that thoughts(which are a form of electricity) are able to pass through time. This makes me believe that electricity its self can pass through time. You are able to to receive and review these electronic signals. They’re most likely specific to each brain, and cannot be intercepted, or reviewed by any one else.

This is just what I’ve collected from personal experience.

I’m choosing to say completely open to this idea. I’ve had a couple dreams that turn out to strangely happen in real life. I’m not saying it’s definitely precognition by any means because it could easily be a concidence. But there was this weird feeling after the second dream where I felt certain was what happened in my dream was going to happen, even though I had no rational reason to believe so.

Maybe I just want to believe. But I think anything is possible, it’s just our brains that limit our reality. :universe:

We have hardly any knowledge about our brains. There is tons of gaps left open that scientists cannot explain. Try this scenario: Someone wrote a number on a piece of paper and put it in the other room. Some guy had an OBE and went and looked at the piece of paper. They asked him what number, he said “6”. He was correct.

Seeing the future in dreams is perfectly possible. Everybody is psychic to some degree. I achieved telepathy with my Mother, she had no idea what i was saying. I closed my eyes, opened my brain and focused upon my Mum. The colour yellow covered my thoughts. I found out later it was her favourite colour.

Now that is what i call freaky :happy:

i was once flying around superman-style in an ld, and i had to suddenly get out of the way as two helicoptors collided in mid-air. then next day, on teletext the news headline said that two helicoptors collided in mid-air. lol. that was weird, but the closest experience iv ever got to this subject

That’s your problem.

It almost cetainly is - although I’d like to hear the story.

The ‘6’ and the ‘yellow’ stories are a clear example of pure coincidence. Especially the yellow story - seriously, how high do you think the chance is that it turned out to be your mother’s favourite colour? Exceptionally high. Possibly one in ten, or more…considering a) you never actually set out to ‘get’ your mother’s favourite colour and b) you already know your mother, and the chance that you picked up the fact subconsciously is huge.

The ‘6’ scenario has about the same chances as the previous one, considering the low numbers being used. You must use very large numbers - using small numbers just means that there is a vastly larger chance of correct prediction. What if the person had picked 63910572950? Would the other one have guessed it right then?

No, to be a clear example of precognition, there really has to be something in the arena of winning lotto, twice. First, you must predict the future more than once, and second, each time must have astronomically unfavourable odds. One in a million would be a good mark.

Yeah, helicopter collisions aren’t all that unusual. :wink:

Hmm, sorry to be so, ah, negative on the subject of precognition :tongue: …I’m open minded about pretty much anything, just not the things that are explicitly forbidden by physics already, namely precognition and perpetual motion.

Well, I had a dream I would sit next to someone on a plane and that we would become friends. And well… just that happened. We became great friends, almost immediately, and ever since then we’ve been thick as thieves. He’s like my best friend. :content: I had never even spoken to him before then, so for me it seems to consequential to be a coincidence, but I can certainly understand if you didn’t want to believe that.

From outside the experince, which scientifically is the best way to view things in an unbiased way…this could be viewed as a coincidence in an instant…especially if you did not predict the timeframe in which this would happen, or if the plane had already been booked before the dream., in which case you would be having more dreams about planes than normal.

Even if you neither of those two were true, there’s the fact that you could have been (consciously or subconsciously) looking for a friend on that plane, considering the dream. The dream would have pushed you into the situation far more than normal, and even you had any friendly chatter with a person - and most people do, considering the length of the things - you might have been far more inclined to make more out of it than most people in normal situations because of the dream you had - you made the situation, the dream didn’t make it.

That’s all fine and well. Except I didn’t talk to him. I don’t talk to people first, it’s a thing I had. I don’t think I created the situation. I am willing to believe it was a coincidence, but I don’t think I created it. Real friendship is not the sort of thing you can pull out of your hat. :razz:

Isn’t it?

People tend to meet their true love, and they tend to meet several true friends. You know, out of the whole world. But how many people would you have actually talked to in your life? I would suggest a ‘true love’ and even more so a ‘true friend’ isn’t nearly as uncommon as most people think, considering that they would have met a few thousand, maybe scraping 5 digits if they’re lucky.

Hope this doesn’t seem just a little desensitised…it certainly doesn’t take the value away from what a true friend or love actually is. Rarity isn’t necessarily the mark of value.

Eh. This happens for me all the time. Its now just become normal.
So, the last one I had I was late for school and I was saying(and I quote) “Goddam it! How is it she can be awake when I am telling me to get up, but sleep when I am and then complains because I didn’t get up? Completely Useless…” A week later thats what happened. From what I saw(Which was me sitting on the edge of my bed tying my shoes, sun barely rising), to what I was hearing(Which was myself talk).

I still like my Chrono Electricity theory though.

I certainly hope mine are not, as I have been dreaming apocolyptic dreams for years of a barren world, and last week I saw 4 chinese nuclear missles hit at the same time. Ouch! I guess we’ll see in time. But really, deja-vu is common, and sometimes I have dreams I don’t remember until years later when it actually happens. Mostly trivial things, but they do happen.

every dream is pre-cognitive

isn’t that what a dream is ?

pre … cognitive

before consciousness,

its stuff about YOU

I’m confused as to how you think this is telling the future. The situation is a very common one, and the quote is you saying what you previously heard. Dreams that rely on your own actions can be instantly dismissed, because your actions would be influenced by what you previously saw/heard in the dream. You simply remember the dream (consciously or otherwise). Pretty easy explanation there.

Examples of precognition can only be examples that are out of your control.

I hope its not possible to see the future in dreams. If I am than we are all in trouble… Beware of a nuclear Venezuala.

So what are you really talking about? We’ve given you evidence on divination of common house tasks, and also of bigger catastrophes, and yet nothing seems to make you believe precognition exists.

P.S: I don’t actually believe in it, just that sometimes things match to what we dreamed. But you must be right, unconsciously we are matching the dream with RL. I was just waiting to see if you cracked…don’t be mad at me though… :shy:

And I’ve provided explanations each time, no? :grin:

It can be fun to argue an opposing viewpoint anyway. :wink:

In most cases, seemingly amazing dreams can come down to:

  • the dream interpreting something in real life
  • things that are really quite likely anyway, especially after further analysis
  • predictions that are too vague on details (date especially) to be very useful

It’s always an interesting topic anyway. People will always be open-minded to some good, repeatable (or at least observable on many occasions) empirical evidence, so the topic really is never closed.
