I am very interested in the dream world and the unconscious in general. I do not doubt your experiences and I am glad that you have posted this thread as I have had similar intriguing experiences with the elusive nature of our reality.

I am not sure if you work with tarot, but I have found that the tarot seems to work through the unconscious mind, dealing with archetypes that relate to experience. I feel that there is a connection between dreams (the unconscious) and tarot.

I remember one such instance where I performed a reading for a very close friend of mine, coincidentally his name is also Ian. This occurred last summer and I remember the experience profusely. The reading revealed to me that Ian and his girlfriend Jess would break up, that he would experience great strife emotionally and his will tested. However, when the thought sprung to my mind that Ian and Jess would break up I held myself back from telling Ian. The two were together at the time, and Ian being my bestfriend, I felt uneasy to reveal that they would break up. Simply because telling him such a thing, and that I myself was not certain that it would manifest, seemed very awkward. As such I did not explicitly reveal that the relationship would end, instead I vaguely hinted towards a new relationship on the horizon, or atleast a diverted path from his current one that involved close emotional ties. I performed the reading the weekend before he left to visit his home up north, and none sooner than the following week I had a dream in which Ian was involved. In this dream he came back early and I awoke with the thought that Ian's coming home. For the entire following day my focus remained on this dream and the thought never left my mind. I come home to my surprise (or not so much a surpise) that Ian has left me a message on msn saying that Jess broke up with him and that he's taking a train back the next day.
Through my analysis of this event and to the best of my understanding as of now I correlate the two events with the unconscious mind and it's subtle suggestion through archetypal images and dreams, aswell as the emotional bond formed between two individuals. Because Ian and I were such good friends and were able to bond spiritually, I feel that this led to my precognitive dream of him returning home. This all occurred within less than a week. The reading was on a Friday, the dream on Tuesday, his message on Wednesday and his return on Thursday.

I have also noticed that dreams work in cycles. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to be fully conscious in dreams, although I am well aware of myself and my dream world and it's contents. When I do have a precognitive dream, the dream tends to be vivid although not lucid but leaves an impression on my waking consciousness. These dreams usually extend two weeks into the future either revealing the pattern for the subsequent weeks or an exact event or chain of events within the weeks. Usually these form around the people in my life and events and situations that end up manifesting. I feel that the unconscious mind in this tense is preparing the waking consciousness for the upcoming encounters.

Not enough space to type here and I have to focus on other things at the moment, hopefully I will reply later... I have had a wealth of experiences and would like to communicate with you more, perhaps by PM but either way I just wanted to state that I feel dreams, consciousness and our entire reality is construed through geometric layering. Geometry plays an important role in our existence. Are you aware of sacred geometry? I am assuming so.

I have a hard time understanding why people can't logically understand precognitive dreams. It has nothing to do with anything mystical or supernatural. It's just the subconscious mind at work! Why do people find the need to make up so many layers of nonsense? I've had precognitive dreams. You know what my reaction was? : Oh, interesting. It seems my subconscious is quite powerful.

I've had the experiences. I've not found a single reason to think they are anything other than the incredibly powerful subconscious mind interacting with our awareness. There's no need to involve anything else. If you were truly synced with your subconscious, you'd realize this is natural not supernatural. How many lucid dreams have you had which never came true? You don't bother to make elaborate stories about those now do you?

Actually I provided everything you need to know, you're just not willing to accept it.

Our subconscious mind is constantly churning away creating our view of the external world, and matching patterns based on what we've already experienced and learned, with what we're currently experiencing. The precognitive dreams you are having is simply the subconscious mind providing you with a high probability event, based on many things you wouldn't even begin to consider consciously.

The reason I mentioned the fact that you have MANY dreams which doesn't come true is to show you that this isn't a supernatural event. You wouldn't draw the connection because there isn't one. In fact, the connections you draw are so lose and happen after a multitude of other experiences, for all intents and purposes it's a non-connection. It's just one you NEEDED to connect however loosely to back up your rationalizations.
Originally posted by unityemissions
We see what we want to. You're seeing false connections because you want this to be true so badly. You obviously spend a lot of time focusing on these topics, so they "manifest" in your PERSPECTIVE. Our possible focus at any point in spacetime is near infinite. You are being guided to these "connections" by your subconscious, which is being programmed by your continuous conscious desire to have these experiences. It's a feedback loop that's sort of like circular logic.

I think you haven't a clue what you really desire. I've entertained both sides for extended periods of time throughout my life. It has nothing to do with a lack of experience or knowledge, it has to do with an overabundance of both. When I entertain such naive fantasies, I become less grounded in reality. I become psychotic and this magical thinking does me no good, whatsoever.

I suggest you think really deeply about astrals, oobe's, and precognitive dreams. It's all an illusion, buddy. The quicker you can realize that the quicker you'll become sane.

Spare me the mounds of mumbo jumbo. Great thinkers have also held many bizarre irrational claims which lasted for many generations. The concept of God comes to mind. I am denying ignorance. That's why I felt the need to chime in, but have seen you're a bit too far gone for a rational discussion. Enjoy la-la land.

Experience is not reality. That's what I've been trying to get through your head. How is it so complicated to deprogram from this new age nonsense? Millions of people have thought throughout time that they see mother mary or Jesus in a pancake, crack in the wall, or some other object. Does that make it real? Does that mean it was some sort of divine experience which manifested because they were chosen?

You source a dozen ATS threads as evidence that millions of people have precognitive dreams? Not too logical. I don't discount precognitive dreams. I said that I've had them! Why you think I lack the experience is beyond me. I've just analyzed them in a rational manner, which you seem to deny.
Originally posted by unityemissions
Don't you think if we were all psychic that we'd have figured this out by now? Even if it was just 2% that honed this ability, how the **** would anyone keep this under wraps? It's not possible. That's illogical thinking to the extreme. If people were capable of this all, we'd have realized and embraced this long, long ago. Why wouldn't we? No government can control this. It's not a commodity, it would be a skill/talent. You can't suppress that without one's own consent.
Your story just doesn't add up in the least. Sorry.

This is the most hilarious part of your post. I'm the one with "blatent bias belief" and you're the one with "years of research and study" which leads you to knowledge....I could easily say the exact same to you!
Originally posted by unityemissions
You're correct. We're not going to change each other in the slightest. Enjoy your expanded awareness in la-la land. Sorry to have bored you so much. I guess it causes apathy when you see someone who is outside your grasp of influence.

Generally I am not the type to believe in this type of stuff. I don't believe in ghosts and I don't think disclosure is coming unless its made up by TPTB, that said I wouldn't believe a word of this except for the fact that I have precognitive dreams and have always been able to lucid dream with out any effort on my part. I have dreamed future events and had them come true, many as soon as the next day, so many times that its impossible for me not to believe. Although it seems wired admitting to this.
