The Theory of Precognitive Dreams

[YouAreDreaming]

For those of you interested in precognitive dreams, I would like to present a paper that I've written with edits and contributions by Dr. Art Funkhouser, one of the world leading researchers into deja vu and precognitive dream experiences.

The paper covers the history, the science, evidence, theory and even lucid dreaming techniques for those interested in looking at precognitive dream content from the lucid dream perspective.

Here is the link, all comments and discussions are welcomed and encouraged.

I'll listen to the 60 pages tomorrow.
It will be very interesting to me personally.
For many decades I've looked for information on this predating the internet. I dreamt of the inter-national net-work in the mid seventies and true as many others, it came to pass.

I'll know of the contents tomorrow and reflect on them respectively.

Your name is very familiar too, I can't remember why at this moment. It's linked to the topic in question.
Perhaps I need some spindles to aid the recall. (cryptic)

I am very fortunate to know both these brilliant minds, Anthony wrote about my exploration into precognition in his book, "The Out-of-Body Experience: The History and Science of Astral Travel" which was in kind one of the nicest discussions about the exploration material which involved my interests back in 1998. 

That's a wonderful interview, I also enjoy Tom Campbell and Anthony Peake when they get together to discuss their ideas.

The paper was very entertaining to listen to. I was filled in by a triangle as to my recognition of your name. It seems years ago...
The fact that the future events are not symbolic only in your case, made the interest peak intensely.

You are here and I can see some interesting comments being made in the future.
You are the ONLY person that has had repeated experiences with this and the high level of awareness during a visionary experience I may have missed your comment on. The locked in part too of my experiences I didn't find. This being part of a disaster scene involving hundreds of people. You mentioned a mental imprint which was an eye opener as no one else has and I'm very familiar with this.
Overall, It was an exhilarating read. The first 15 seconds of your personal experiences brought goosebumps strongly.
I'll post more later with some links to a few shared experiences.

Thanks you Szaxx for this wonderful reply.  Can you elaborate on what you mean by "locked in" as this is something I use to describe how we are down here when we lack access to the source of where we come from. 

The way that I present the breakdown of precognition stems from personal experience, I felt it best to explain it only as it has appeared so that others who have had similar examples could relate.  I think the paper introduces self-evident observations on this nature.

[Szaxx]

The 'locked in' term derived from an experience of the highest order.
These initiate where you appear at an instant in some scenario and the clarity superceeds that of waking life. You know within a few seconds of gaining awareness that 'it's occuring again', a precognitive dream.
The feeling with the onset of such an experience is unmistakable.
The scene plays out and within a few minutes something unnatural within the scene occurs.
This causes a change in perception. It's already in high definition and attaching itself is the ability to be one with all. It's at this point where you can exit the dream. A few seconds more and you're in till the end, there's no way out. I've had more than my share of nightmares and waking into the void is so easy. This is different, once 'connected' to the oneness a shift in conciousness takes place and the physical can't be reached until later. This is the 'locked in' phase.
The connection puts you inside everything, the people involved locally and distant. The metals, the mechanics and operating systems are percieved. It's hard to put into words. The worst part of it is you are everyone, complete with their thoughts and emotions. It is hard to accept all thoughts and fears and it affects you for days. You feel all, everything that transpires.
The event occurs around six days later and everything is exact, all the details are replicated precisely.

Thanks for the clarification, I understand what you are talking about.  Inversely being locked in also applies to our waking life.  It is how I see most people when they are unaware of the underlying reality that propagates this one.  People involved in a game whereby they don't even know they are playing.  But that is how this system is engineered.  It's a very powerful, in your face reality system. 

Being locked in to a dream is fun for me, I love dreaming and generally they are not nightmares.  I also understand the bleeding into other people during your precognitive experiences; although I've only had small sampling of this I can see how it can extrapolate into everything that the dream conveys. 

There is no doubt all of this creates more questions than answers.  I certainly haven't figured it all out yet, but in saying that I do have a fairly decent handle on the mechanics behind the curtain so to speak.

These experiences were countless in number during the 70's. All I needed to be was alive.
An example, my brother brought the new booklet on aircraft markings (CAM). He liked to collect their registrations and living 8 miles from Manchester airport they would be low enough to read this marking.
He opened up a page and a Lufthansa 747 picture was showing the front section, hinged at the top, opened up for cargo access and egress.
I looked at the picture and told him its crashed. His reply was negative and no reports were found from his friend who worked in a respectable position at the airport.
As time passed and I couldn't get it out of my head. This craft has crashed.
Later that night after some sleep, it was playing on my mind so I meditated to become disconnected. I had another dream. This same aircraft had just left the runway and couldn't get enough power from the engines. It crashed shortly after. In the dream small pieces of material were spiralling down from the sky on fire. This stuck firmly in my mind. I was observing this from behind a wire fence. A week later the news reported the same aircraft had engine trouble and the interpreter said fire was falling from the sky in small pieces.
The same as I saw.
Do your experiences follow you into this physical?
By that I mean it's a connection and not broken by waking.

No my experiences are broken when I wake up.  The memory may follow and validate precognitive but that is it.

Which could be the same as saying that it follows into the physical, but I think you are describing it differently.

Ok, I'll word it more precisely.

Some of these precognative dreams (PD) can be lost on waking.
Only today I had a recall from many years ago, the 1980's . It was a repeating one for a while and had no apparent meaning. I've moved house 3 times since. As I walked into the utility room I saw many containers arranged differently from the norm. These being arranged by one of the family.
I automatically knew my partner would want to lie down shortly. Her health is erratic and if the proposed rest didn't occur there would be an upheaval. I'd be in reciept of the blunt end. At present the rest is taking place, thankfully.
This is one type of PD I've had since pre school.
You forget it after waking. It gets triggered by an event then the recall is made. The above did repeat several times and the outcome was different each time dependant upon my actions.

The disaster PD are totally different. Apart from extreme precision, total recall remains for ages.
This is one type of experience where the emotional side follows you into the physical.
You can't escape it for long and familiar triggers are everywhere.
The other side of the precognition is where you are doing your daily routine and something 'appears' fortelling an event. It can be an imprint where instantly you know many details. Time is of the essence to prevent it. I've had a few serious ones and life has been saved. These come at random and rarely get ignored. You just know. Common ones are when driving, the choice of road is made at the outset of the journey and you change your route as this knowing appears. It can be roadworks where you avoid a long wait or an accident you would most likely of been involved in.
Other of the same are those close to heart. You know some trouble is coming their way and you need to be around to prevent it. Often you know the result of failiure to be there. Time is of the essence again.
These are not PD as such but have an exacting feel to them and nothing can convince you otherwise. You know and the intent to be of service is extreme. None have ever been in error.
This is another aspect of the precognition following you into the physical.
I guess the nearest thing is deja-vue. This is related only in it's feel.
The deja being miniscule by comparison.

The paper has a lot of images and is in a large font so for those of you that did not want a long read, don't worry. The 60 pages fly by pretty fast.

I did not completely agree with your statement that it is self evident that dreams are organized thoughts. The mental processes we go through while attempting to sleep certainly are but once we "click" out and then become aware that we are dreaming, we can't say for sure what is happening.

Another factor in precognitive dreams is our ability to relate to the subject matter. For example, I had a precog in which I saw this girl and her surroundings very clearly. I even remembered her voice but she had something big on her head that I just could not make out.

No matter how hard I tried to recall what was on her head, I just couldn't. When the event played out in real time, it finally made sense to me why I was never able to "see" what was on her head. That's because as it turned out, it was the last thing in the world that I would thought of. It was a panda bear.

Obviously, I know what a panda looks like but I never would have thought of it being a hat. Thus, I couldn't process it correctly. Since I was able to understand everything else that I was "seeing", I remembered the dream. If everything else had been as foreign to me as the concept of a panda bear being a hat, I might have completely dismissed it.

After reading your paper, it made me wonder how many dreams are actually precognitive but don't turn out as so because too many variables were influenced and caused a change to occur.

Very good read. thanks for sharing.
