Welcome to Gaia! ::

Science's answer on this one is easy. There is no evidence of precognition, so the question is null. I personally disagree with the aversion of science in studying so-called "paranormal phenomena" simply because early pioneers in the research failed to establish good study methods, however. It remains a relatively uninvestigated and unstudied question by science.

However, using some basic concepts, so-called precognitive dreams are easily written off as cooincidence. Most people dream of something resembling real life and thus it is absolutely no surprise that some of the dream events can paralell both past real life events and future real life events. Likewise, we all have built-in brain pathways for predicting future events and we do this while we're awake as well as while we're asleap. There isn't anything neccesarily precognitive or paranormal about it; our brains are designed to predict future events because it is adaptive for survival. Does that help any?




I'm not up on the research here, so my responses are purely speculative. Everything human psych though, regardless of what you're talking about, is influenced by the following variables: genetics, cognition, environment. To what degree each of these plays a role I can't say. I'm not sure if science knows the answers to these yet either.

I had a question myself about this...

Is it possible to not dream?

Hmm...I asked because I have at least one friend who claims he rarely dreams. Perhaps he meant that he rarely remembers?

She lay down on the grass,
Looking up at the sky,
thinking, it’s all she can do.
If she disappeared she would not be missed.
She will be gone just like everyone else.

Getting up from the grass,
she walks on the sand,
looking outward towards the sea.
She walks into the water high up above her knees.

Your brain is always active. Your dreams are usually because your brain is active it gives your eyes and your mind something to do whilst you sleep.

There are people who don't remember dreams, and there are ways to train them to gain some amount of consciousness to remember these dreams. Thoughts are always running through your minds and you cannot turn them off. You might believe that you are turning them off but if you were hooked up to an EEG, you'll see that your brain is always giving out signals, whether they be thought signals or action signals. =3

The waves softly hit her legs.
She looks at the sunset and its yellow-red hues
she walks into the sea, farther and farther,
opening her arms towards the wave.
The water is high up to her hips.
The wave comes towards her.
She looks at the wave with her arms stretched out;
the water starts to rage, the wave hits her body hard.
Then the water calms down. The water recedes,
then darkness falls, and all goes dark.
The sun goes down and the day is done.

Hello all, I will keep my response short and sweet, and in respects to my own theories. I myself say that the relavancy to 'remembering' a dream is quite incorrect. I myself say that it is more of a conscience state of mind. To keep it short and simple, two factors are the major pilliars to my theory. One: When 'remembering' a dream, it is quite often people, and myself have this occur when we are about to awaken; Hence would mean that we are merely in a state of dissociation. We are aware, and the parellel occurances we seem to be expereincing is merely a hypnotic so to speak trance, and our sub conscious planting ideas and playing them out. When we wake up we tell ourselves we have 'remembered' our dreams, when in actuality it is a delusion, perhaps a small case of schizophernia. Two: I think therefore I am xd

If anyone would like to further discuss this topic with me in private I will more than happily oblige. Just PM in regarding to the time, date, and area. Have a nice day.

not necessarily true, some can be about the past, some can be about the future and some are about something on the mind in the subconscious.
