Dreams

[Bryon_Soulweaver]

Tell me I'm nuts or something like this happens to a few poeple. Everytime I dream, which isnt that often, like once a month or so, it somehow happens later that day. A few nights ago, I dreamed that a friend was in a hospital being operated on. When the doctor came out, it wasnt a doctor. It was a man dressed in everyday cloths with a saw in his hands and blood all over him. The guy's face was blurry and he told me that my friend didnt make it, he sounded like a accual doctor. When I woke up, I brushed it aside and went to school, it didnt bother me until I got a email saying that one of my friends was butchered alive. His head was cut in half and peices of lung were in his mouth and throat. This is strange and just plane scary to me (I dont get scared that easily from certen things in my past), I dreamed that my friend died and it acually happened. Other dreams like this has happened, no killing but the dreams somehow came into reality one way or another.

I don't dismiss the possibility of psychic phenomenon - especially uncontrolled, which I think is much more likely than the supposedly controlled "psychic hotlines" and such - out of hand. I think I've had experience with the sort of thing you're talking about on a handful of occasions, myself.

BUT - as someone who has experienced brain damage and memory problems of a much more significant nature, and been quite angrily insistent that my memory was correct until proven wrong, I have to ask you the same thing I ask myself about this:

Scientific exploration has indicated a high probability that Deja Vu and similar phenomenon are the result of some shock or "skip in the system" causing incoming sensory data to be recorded in the wrong place in the brain or in more than one place. Are you completely certain that you really did dream these things BEFORE they happened, and that your brain isn't sneaking them in in the wrong places?

Regardless, I recommend a dream journal and giving yourself a few moments to write in it each morning. A few of my friends keep them and find them useful.

This is a phenonomen that my wife shares, albeit hers are far, far, far more mundane. Like, she'll dream about having a conversation about something in the grocery store, and then a few weeks later, we'll be having that conversation in the grocery store, and she'll get kind of weirded out about it.

It's called "Preja Vu".

Not to be confused with "Deja Vu", which is the feeling that you've experienced something before.

I frequently get "Vuja de." That's the feeling that I'm doing something I've never done before.

De (of) ja /J'ai/ (I have) Vu (past tense of see)

It's all french to me. Jeva Voir would be a good one for that. Or Ouija vu,

Yes I keep a journal, sometimes I threw out a old one, because I write down things I dont remember putting there that just freak me out, and get a new one and start all over. I've gone through over a hundred or so and keep doing it. And yes, I did dream of this before I got the email. I wont go into vivid detail how it really happened and how it went in my dream. I think that I would save a lot of people some very freakish nightmnares, especially those that have the same king of things that pop into my head.

It just that I never had something this kind of thing happen before, and it came true. Others are when my friends do something, and then in out of my dream state that do stuff similiar to them. I find the one about my firends comferting because I can either evoid them or let them happen, this one I could not. Usually I dont let things like this bother me, but this time it happened to one of my friends and I cant handle it. I dont know, maybe my conscience is getting back at me with grief or sorrow, or maybe both. I hate feeling like this, I dont like being sad.

Of course you are sad, man, you just lost a friend. That is normal, and I am sorry for your loss.

I also cannot discount the paranormal. How often have you heard that we use only a tiny fraction of our brain? Perhaps you have some type of insight, but you have to come to terms with it. If this continues to freak you out then I would seriously suggest talking with a professional.

My sincerest condolences. You will get past this. Remember that, ok?

Cheers

My condolences... that sounds pretty horrifying.

Slight hijack:

Pretty much never, at least from sources that seem to have some scientific grounding.

I will try. And thanks. I dont get too many of those as of the past year.


PS: about the brain, is it only 10-12 percent or is that some kind of thing some scientist said?

Read any of my links above. It's neither, that's just a common myth.
