Hi,
Over the past year I've been having dreams that would come true within the following few days (usually the next day). Most of them have been very pointless/useless things, like:
1. Dream about a former TV personality, who hasn't been on TV in a long time, and the very next morning he was the first thing I saw when I switched the tv on.
2. Dream about someone offers me something as a gift that I haven't had in a long time. The next day it comes true.
3. etc...
But some of them have been more serious. My brother used to use cocaine and has troubles with various addictions, like Grass, Alcohol and Gambling. He's been off cocaine for 8 months. Last week I had 3 very vivid dreams about him. One of them was that he was doing cocaine again and this was last Thursday.
Today I was talking with him and as a joke I asked him if he has done cocaine recently and he denied it. Then I told him about my dream and later he confessed that the dream was true and he did it on Friday night.
In retrospect I wish I had of called him Friday morning and warned him... but I guess it was his fate.
So my question is, how can I develop this skill further to focus on things that are of more importance, like my brother's cocaine ordeal. Are there any techniques that will improve this?
A few years ago I used to keep a dream journal, and did that for a few months until I got bored and went onto something else...
Thanks
SiVA,
Meditation is a great way to hone in on your abilities, it takes a lot of practice and patience but it's well worth the effort.
If you're not sure how, just do a search for 'how to meditate' and you should get some simple ideas as to where to begin.
The same types of dreams began for me when I was in my very early teens and have progressed to some very intense precognitive dreams (I prefer not to use the term prophetic dreams)
Hope this helps,

Thanks for the reply. Yes precognitive is a better word to use.
Actually I should've mentioned that I've been involved in meditation for a few years, however this year I have been developing more consistency with it. Maybe that is helping things along...
Do you experience any precognitive insights while in a meditative state? Or does meditation during the day help with more clairvoyent dreams at night?

I can't say that I have any more or any less
precognitive insights, too hard to tell really. I've had them all my life and I've only been meditating seriously in the last few years.
However, I
can say that meditation has given me 'insights' in different areas, I had one major insight a few months ago that was verified. I'll explain...
When I meditate I try and focus on a specific day in my life in the past, and I try and recount all of the events of the day, then once I'm satisfied with my 'memory recall' I go back a few years more and pick another day (usually I stick to birthdays or holidays) and do the same thing. Each time I meditate I start with the last day that I left off.
Recently I was doing this and I was at the age of around 2, remembering things that occurred (these memories are verified later for validation), anyway, all of a sudden I am about waist high and I can see my Gram standing in her kitchen and she is upset and looking in my direction. She is yelling at me and saying "Quote" "You have NO business having another baby, you can't even take care of the ones you have"
I realized then that she was actually talking to my Mother who was pregnant with me! I asked my Mom if that conversation occurred when she told my Gram she was pregnant and after my Mother picked her jaw up off the floor she told me those were the 'exact' words my Gram used. That my Gram didn't want her to have any more children (I am the youngest of 5).
The odd part of the whole situation is that I was ALWAYS my Grams favorite, everyone knew it and she didn't even try to hide it. Growing up I never understood why she favored me, but now I know!
So, long story short, as far as meditation goes for me, if I meditate at night prior to sleeping and depending on 'what' I meditate about I believe it does influence my dreams. Depends I supposed on what you're looking for or trying to achieve with your meditations.
Are you specifically trying to 'hone' in your precog. dream skills? Or are you looking to balance out precognition while awake as well? Do you experience precognitions other than in a dream state?
Wow, what a fascinating story! Thanks for sharing. My childhood is one big blackout for me, so I might try your technique to try to bring back some of those memories... When you want to focus on a date in the past, what do you actually do? Just think about that date and try to form images...?

Reasons I meditate:
1. I want to someday achieve self-realization (as taught by my Guru)
2. Lasting peace of mind, Happiness
3. To gain better control of my mind so I can stop bad habits, and focus better on other, more important things

I only experience them in Dream state, and they are purely accidental but I would like to experience this more in my dreams.
Sometimes I wake up in the morning and I have the feeling I've dreamt about something profound, but can't get at the memory...
Usually I always remember my dreams, but in these cases I should try to meditate right away to retrieve that memory.

That's the jest of it, start simple and recent, perhaps Christmas or Thanksgiving of last year. Remember who you saw, what you ate, who you talked with and the conversation you had. Then go to the previous Thanksgiving or Christmas. Do the same thing over again. Do this each time you meditate and start the next session with where you left off.
This technique works well because you are consciously focusing on an event. It helps to train your mind to not only have memory recall but to get absorbed and focused on something tangible. Most meditation books tell you to 'imagine you are somewhere' but for me, this works better on the focusing since I am a person that is easily distracted.
I believe that if you meditate prior to going to sleep you will achieve the balance you are looking for and your dreams will become clearer.
Hope this helps!
