To those with dream journals

[Clear]

Precognition is the theme. Have you seen its effects in your nocturnal visions? Was the image direct or a symbol that made sense in retrospect?

I strongly suspect there is more, way more to dreams than most people have been lead to believe.

I believe both exist.

I have experienced both. The direct experience was so obvious there was no doubting it.

Dreams, if I had to take a crack at it, most certainly exist outside of the conventional linear flow of causality we perceive as time, in that way they are able to seemingly reach out and grab us from both the deep past and the future with these images. That being said, in all my experience these images only become legible after the fact which makes it more a novelty for me than anything I’ve been able to harness or use as a skill. Like I had a dream Arizona tea was gonna hop up two dollars in price, week later the Iran war starts and the price goes up. Now maybe I should have bought stocks or some other course of action but to me it was just a cool little moment that lets me know my dreams are working correctly in a certain sense.

I've recently had dreams that were maybe not straightforwardly pre-cognitive, but they were meetings with people who then began showing up in consciousness in everyday life as though they were present both in the dream world and invisibly present with me in the waking world. None of those conversations have been predictive exactly.

I have occasionally had dreams that had precognitive elements. For instance, a dream that predicted a fight with family members that was unforeseen by me, at least consciously, in waking life. Or sometimes I've seen places in dreams that I'd never been, and they matched places I arrived at in waking life with strong senses of déjà vu.

I usually use feelings like déjà vu or presence to determine the relationship between the dream reality and the waking one. I find that those guide me more than the straightforward content of the dream.

I've had several precognition dreams in my time, though not for anything very big, and I don't know they're precognitive until after they happen, so they're not exactly helpful to me. One time I had a dream that my apartment flooded and ruined my computer, but I thought it was just a dream until it actually happened, so I never stopped leaving my laptop on the floor at night :/

I've tried to keep an actual dream journal a few times in the past, but I can never keep up with the routine. Maybe if I could I'd be able to make sense of what dreams mean something and what dreams are chatter.
