Dreams and Prophecy

Dreaming of day to day events is nothing out of the ordinary. Dreams take place in a seemingly limitless world where anything is possible, but what does it mean when instead of dreaming of the day to day, you dream of tomorrow? Not only tomorrow, but dreaming of any time in the future where you wake up remembering details of the dream and find out later that what you dreamt has now occurred. I can imagine the feeling would initially be like the experience of Déjà Vu. Then the reality sets in and you know that it was not Déjà Vu but you in fact already saw this whole event play out in a dream. Now your thought process is going and you start recalling more specific aspects of your dream and a chill runs through you because you remember that you saw all of this before.

Now some peoples first thought would be of shock and disbelief. Some people may experience anxiety at the situation. Some may only think to themselves “why couldn’t I dream of the lottery numbers?” Everyone would deal with things in their own way. To restate the question, what does dreaming of the future mean? Did you somehow gain this special ability without knowing it? Were you always able to do it and just now realized you could? My favorite question of them all, did something else put this precognition in your head?

One argument that could be said is that as humans would be to refer to that statement “we only use 10% of our brains.” According to Neurologist Barry Gordon at the John Hopkins School of Medicine in Baltimore, is completely incorrect. According to Gordon we use virtually every part of our brain. In fact according to Gordon most of the brain is active at all times. So if that is the case where would such an ability of precognition possibly be stored? Let’s address the possibility that there is another level of consciousness beyond that of just our actual brains. A higher plane of consciousness would be ideal as a source for such abilities. This theory would also be more in line with the paranormal aspect of precognition as well as precognition in dreams. I make that correlation because it is a common theory that the dream plane is another plane of existence.

As wonderful a thought as it could potentially be to say we are capable of this added ability or power, what if it is not us at all? Could it be some higher force planting these ideas in our head? The voices telling some individual about events to come in the least invasive way to make sure that this person does not panic, but this higher power still gets the message out. Such abilities of telling the future are far more out in the open than ever before. There are just as many fakers as there are genuine precognitive abilities. So I have to wonder with these genuine displays, why are they the ones chosen to display this ability? I want to know why these people are being told of coming events. Are they simply being told so they can chronicle the events as they happen? Or are they supposed to have a hand in it? This theory then leads to another question. Is the higher power leaking these details a good one or bad one? Are they telling these events to help us, or are they manipulating these individuals to help themselves.

Precognitive dreams have been reported throughout our history, precognitive people show up in all cultures. What do you think it stems from? What do you think the purpose of us knowing is? Lastly do you think these events happen for our benefit or our demise?

There are many other theories behind this phenomenon as well, I only address specific ones. Join me on twitter and tell me what you think this means or which other theories you think is more relevant @Vijayp1982.
