Thread: Dreams.. What do people think they mean???

I quite often have dreams - or "snap shots" of scene's or scenario's which later happen in "real life", i.e. I might dream of going out to dinnner at a restaurant I've never been to - in a city I have never visited before, and then a few weeks later I'll actually be there sitting there in that restaurant, in that city and go "fuck me.... I've dreamt this already!". Apparently this is quite common and there are some logical explanantions for it - but none of it makes sense to me.

I don’t always remember my dreams but the ones I do remember are usually me battling someone eg violent dreams.

But two nights ago I remembered a snippid of my dream and there was this massive great turtle swimming around me when I was in some water.

I agree with Vassy, I think they are just your mind sorting out your previous day/days events possibly recalling things you don’t actually remember but have seen and filing the thoughts in the appropriate brain section.

That is kinda like deja-vu Vassy???? I sometimes will be in a situation that I think fuck Ive done this before, or seen this moment etc.

In response to Azza i have been practicing ceromonial magick for a long time. I started with the magick of the Golden Dawn and moved on from there. I have spent most of my life exploring the astral planes and other dimensions,given that i am naturally Psychic and highly intuitive i have worked with these areas for 27 yrs. I also study Kabala, i find it a very useful system of classification. Also of course tarot, astrology, ancient religions in particular Sumerian, Jung, Frued and a few others.
My personal spirituality is Thelema but i tell everyone i am a new wave spiritualist.

i dont mean to offend, just want to slightly challenge a point.

ok so you put highly intuative and psychic in the same sentance... i mean 1000yrs ago, being intuitive ment you were psychic.

that another think because from my understanding that is what creates the myth of psychic. being very intuitive and reading people.

Good point C_T. The two are very similar however the pyschic is a more visual capabilities. Sometimes i can intuite something when other times i actrully see something. The activity of the chakras for example is mostly intuited. However it is also quite possible to envision other things such as a spirit. Sometimes there is a subtle difference and the line of definition is blury.

or your mind could just be creating this from your general understanding...

Pete, not wanting to go OT here, but could you possibly explain what this is in a new thread if you don't mind?? It's not a term I've heard before.

Good point Sorimah, but i didn't want to appear rude to Azzahs good question.

C_T there is overwhelming evidence to support that the 6th sense is real. i don't have to google evidence for you. Its just that alot of poeple do not have thisi sense open. Of course once they have had an experience then all that changes. There are several regulars on this forum that have had such experiences.

Having had this debate before i know that is i use the dream as an example then i can demonstrate the 6th sense to everyday people.

All I knows is, dreams always end when they're about to get good or interesting... Just a big psychological tease if you ask me but I often wake up with a desire to persue that dream in reality.

Pete, by definition evidence is "that which tends to prove or disprove something". Now if the existence of a 6th sense or any other spiritual or mystical power had been proven than the power would have become mainstream, just like science. And we'd be using these powers in our community, in our medical or legal systems for example. But we don't, and it's precisely because there is no testable "evidence" that we don't. By all means Pete you are entitled to believe in whatever you like. But I think the line needs to be drawn very clearly between what can be proven to be real & what cannot. I also think it's the responsibility of people who choose to believe in things that cannot be proven to acknowledge that their belief is based on faith or some other principle other than evidence.

Yeh sure.. Not evidence in the scientific sense. However, evidence that is most convinciing.
I once walked into a house and saw a lady looking at me through the window. I described her to my freind the owner --- down to the cloths she was wearing. My freind went away and cane back with an identical photo.
I used to have an internet friend who photograghed spirits and energy at graveyards. I once communicated with a freinds dead father and told her things that only her and her father knew- there was a financila issue. I once gave a person his dead relatives love and words - apparently only he used those words. The list goes on(too long for this forum) and i'm sure if you googled it you would find much more evidence.
Given that the evidence is not in a scientific sense.. i make an observation that once a person has had one of these experiences (Natash or Jesper) - they too consider the experience evidence of types.
Don't dreams prove the existence of at least an astral plane? at most psychic abilities?

I think if I ever saw a spirit looking at me that would send me to a mental assylum. I could not think of anything worse then seeing strange things, I would be to freaked out. I'm already a sooky person when it comes to the dark and I'm just a big sook.

I remember going to haunted house with friends at night and it totally freaked me out. I would be the first one to jump at the slightest noise.

I do find it interesting but I would never want to experience it. Pete didn't it freak you out seeing stuff like that?

The only thing that dreams prove is that we dream. Without evidence anything else is just a theory. What makes evidence convincing is when it can be tested. When you can make a repeatable prediction based upon observation or experimentation. This is the empirical method & this is what science has used to move our civilisation forward. Without it we'd still be worshipping sun gods. The same applies to your and other peoples mystical experiences, without evidence to back them up your asking people to have faith in something that can't be proven. Which is fine, if that's what someone is prepared to accept. Just be clear about it & say this is what I believe, I have no proof & there is no way that any of what I say can be tested. But believe me anyway.

What I object to is the reporting of mystical theories as fact.

I thought science was if you can disprove it? "A test must attempt to disprove the hypothesis since proof in science cannot be attained". -- science
