can dreams predict the future?!?!?!?!?!?

i had a dream a recently that my girlfriend broke up with me and then a week or two later she broke up with me, does anybody think dreams can predict the future

maybe deja vu(how ever you spell it) occurs because you dreamed about it first and then did that thing in real life

makes me wonder at least

 

i've had feelings when something happens that i had a dream of it way back when i was a wee kiddy. possibly de ja vu or psychic senses, who knows?

It is possible that you have some psychic ability, i'm not putting it down, but my theory goes like this:
perhaps unconciously you were picking up body language signals and such which are near imposible to notice consiously, i do this alot as i have some empath abilities and it can be quite anoying because i end up in bad moods with my girlfriend for no apparent reason, but i know it's because of our unconcious fighting each other, your unconcious analysed these signals and worked out that the end was nigh, and that it told you to do something soon and in a way it DID predict the future

 

I've had several dreams of real serious events that happened shortly after I had the dreams-really spooky. I'm convinced that dreams sometimes can foretell future events.

 

anything can 'predict' anything. but like anything else, they can't very well be counted on to do so. several things are at work here. one is that whatever happens, something can always be found to appear to have predictied it. another is the possibility of self fulfilment. which DOESN'T have to be conscious.

Your subconcious likely knew it was going to happen, so you dreamt it.

 

Yes, dreams can predict the future. The trick is in recognising that what is happening has been foretold.

For me, I had a dream come true after 5 years. I had one that would come true after 20 - 25 years. I figure I have another 5 - 10 years before it comes true.

 

I've had several dreams come true and they were just random dreams I had and I would wake up and think, "why the fuck would I dream about that?" Then they come true in the next couple days. Most people have psychic ability it's when we're sleeping our minds are clear and free of judgment and that is when we are most susceptible to "psychic powers."

 

well i've had things happen that i'd previously seen in dreams too. it's just that how long after i dreamt it that it happened was and remains totaly random. so that while, yes in a sense the CAN 'predict' 'the' future, this doesn't make them generaly very reliable or useful as a way of doing so. nor for that matter, do a very large percentage of them turn out to have been 'predictive'. nor is there usualy any sort of indication as to which ones will.

for everything that happenes that had previously been dremt, a million zillion other things are dremt that don't happen and a million zillion things happen that haven't been dremt.

so i realy wouldn't call this USEFULLY "predicting" anything.

and yes the subconscious may very well travell both ways in 'time' too.

time isn't what we experience it as in our waking lives.

Well there are some people earlier in history that were known for their predictions given to them through dreams, and their predictions came true. Edgar Cayce was one and maybe even Nostradamus. There are plenty more, but my knowledge about this topic is very limited. What you dreamed about your girlfriend might not fully come true but other particles from it may.

 

Dreams are the scattered memories of a future we've left long behind.

 

cacy wasn't THAT reliable, however legendary, he predicted some prtty big things that DIDN"T happen and lots of things that didn't happen quite how he predictied them. nostradamis was nuttier then a fruit cake, or sounds like he was if you've ever tried to read his actual writings themselves. and he said so many mutualy and nearly mutualy contradictory things, that at least some of them were BOUND to happen!

like i said, things we see in dreems DO SOMETIMES later happen. but when, where, and HOW MUCH later, is a totaly random guess as is which actualy will in a more or less litteral sense and which are merely alligories of other things then they appear to be entirely, or just simply have nothing to do with predictions at all.

i like that bit about left behind might have been futures. that actualy fits quite well with mine being a very believable alternative present or relatively near future.

YEAH, PEOPLE THAT PUT ACTUAL EVENTS TO NOSTRADAMUS PREDICTIONS WERE EVEN NUTTIER THAN HE WAS.......

yeah john, you dreamt you were breaking up with your girlfriend cause it is a repressed fear. Should have forgot it as quick as you could, dreams can cause you to act out the funky feeling they give you if ya dwell on them. wake up and get busy dood

I've had a number of completely random and pretty insignificant dreams that either foretold something that would happen in the future, or that were repeated precisely in every detail in waking life months or even years later, like I dreamt of having a conversation with my dad about college while driving past Toronto at night and then a few years later I had that exact conversation while driving past Toronto at night. Same words, same visuals, same feelings...

 

So, lemongait, did you remember the dream when you were at that point or did you have a premonition you were going to have a dream awake? Mine, I was in the middle of the reality before I remembered the dream 7 years ago.

 

i've had those too. lots of them. just like we've both already said. all i'm trying to point out is that none of this makes them USEFULL AS PREDICTORS.

and what makes them NOT usefull as predictors, dispite all of this, is never knowning IN ADVANCE which ones will, NOR when.

Yeah, it was the same for me as for you. While it was happening I just clued in and thought "Hey, this is that dream I had years ago".
But like Themnax said, seeing as we can't tell which dreams will come true or anything of that nature (or at least I can't), they're pretty useless for predicting the future.

 

yeah themnax worded that well 'and what makes them NOT usefull as predictors, dispite all of this, is never knowning IN ADVANCE which ones will, NOR when.'
What I also noticed is that there was some unreal elements to my predictor dream that did not happen. Did yours lemon or them, have any parts that were unreal and did NOT come true?

 

yup. sometimes bein in different towns then i thought it would be from the dream. girls thinking i was a jerk instead of hugging me. and of course all of my dream places in them were kind of like parallel universe kind of places.

like towns would be layed out allmost the same. same streets/roads,topography, but buildings would be different, more interesting and doors and keep out signs in real life wouldn't be there in the dreams and no ever objected to my looking and seeing what was behind them.

and the people in them, when there were people in them, weren't actualy individual persons from real life but compound mixtures of several people that looked almost but not quite like them.

don't come here themnax, you touch the wrong girl and they will file rape charges on you. very touchy they are, must be the funky cold medina.......oh well.

 

amazing

not only could you remember your dream from years before

but you could remember every single word you shared, and you followed the script perfectly as did you father, and you could remember the feel! the visuals!

mustve felt pretty shit though, not being able ot control the words you were making. shitter for your father if he knew that the words he was using had alreayd been concieved by you before you even had the same vocabulary

so how many dreams do you remember per week? month? year?

you must be very on track to have maintained the same thoughts on colleges for such a long and crucial period
