Dreams and Predicting the Future

12
Precognitive Dreams

Did you ever wake up from a dream that really stuck out to you only to find out that the dream came true? This is something that can happen, and it has a lot to do with your brain, but does it also have to do with Deja vu or other mysterious powers?

Precognitive Dreams

Precognitive dreams are dreams that show things into the future. There isn’t scientific proof that says that precognitive dreams are true but there are a lot of people that have had these kinds of dreams.

Some people have dreams that they feel that they have been to that place before. There are some kinds of dreams that are called Deja Reve or feeling dreams that you think have happened in real life. These are dreams that can show different feelings and emotions.

You might have had a dream that was almost like a nightmare and then you later found the dream to be upsetting. As your week goes on, you find that you are in situations that give you the same feelings that the dream did.

What is a Precognitive Dream?

There are different people that have had precognitive dreams. Even Abraham Lincoln dreamed of his own assassination just a little while before it actually happened. A landslide that happened in Whales had multiple people come forward with dreams that it was going to happen before it did.

Carl Jung, a psychiatrist, is one that claims to have dreamed of his mothers death before she died.

How Do Dreams Predict the Future?

One neuroscience author, Sidarta Ribeiro believes that there is some science behind the idea of precognitive dreaming. He believes that this can come by the way that you think. The dreams that you have can predict what is going to happen based on how sophisticated that your brain is. This helps you to know what is going to happen in the future based on what happened in your past.

Your dreams will use different past scenarios that come to your mind to tell what could happen in the future. Dreams happen because of sleep patterns and because of memories that you have. When you dream and you think of the future in your dream, you might come up with ideas as to what could happen.

The process that your brain plays in the dream level will take symbols and things that happened in your life and will bring meaning to your experiences and your dreams.

Dreaming and Deja Reve

Deja Reve is a French phrase that says, “already dreamed.” This means that someone will have sensations that they have already had this same dream before.

Dream expert, Leslie Ellis, believes that dreaming can happen anyway because there are no rules when it comes to dreaming. This means that you can dream of the past, present, and maybe even the future. Future dreams are also called precognitive dreams.

Ellis believes that she has seen different kinds of dreams throughout different cultures and throughout history and that these have often been based on spiritual situations. This is also how precognitive dreams can come along.

Sleeping Better

If you want to understand how powerful your dreams are, you can do this by having your own dreams. Make sure that you get good sleep, that you exercise each day, eat healthily, limit the stress that you have and put your electronics away. All of this can help you to sleep better. Don’t drink alcohol or caffeine before you go to bed.

Final Thoughts

When you have a dream that seems to tell the future, write it down. Know that the brain is an amazing thing and that your brain might actually be able to use dreams to predict the future.

What Do Flying Dreams Mean?

12
Flying Dream

People have dreams and some people dream of flying. This could mean that you wish that you could escape certain people or certain things. Flying can mean that you want to have freedom. Dreaming of flying can be a desire for those that are looking to get away from hard things in their life.

Flying dreams can have different meanings and it depends on the context of the dream to figure out what the dream actually means.

Common Meanings

One way that you can know your dreams more is to keep a dream journal. This is something you keep close to your bed and if you wake up after a dream, write the dream down in as much detail that you can.

Spiritual Meaning of a Flying Dream

Dreams can be both positive and negative and a flying dream is the same. Flying does represent freedom in most dreams and when you are flying, it shows that you are free to go anywhere that you want. This also means that you can be or do anything.

In a negative context though, flying could mean that you feel like you need to get out of a certain place because you feel stressed and aggravated about life.

Interpretations of Flying Dreams

Here are some interpretations of flying dreams:

  • Lucid Flying Dreams

A flying dream might be a lucid dream. This means that you would be able to control your actions in the dream and take over how the dream goes. This also means that you are aware that you are dreaming.

When you are flying in a lucid dream, you might shape the dream in a way that you want it to go. This can mean that you are like a super human and you fly wherever and whenever you want. This can let you go anywhere that you want.

  • Flying Higher

Flying higher in a dream might mean that you want to have freedom from something that is blocking you. There might be hard things going on in your life such as relationship problems, financial problems, or other negative things.

As you fly higher, you risk falling, and this can mean that you are letting your pride be in control of your life and you are boosting about things that you have.

  • Falling

As you dream of flying, you might be dreaming this because you are not growing like you want. Some things might be blocking or challenging you from progressing in life and you might feel like a failure. This dream can tell you that it is time to focus on how to deal with things that are hard.

As you write these dreams in your journal, you can see if you can understand more of what they mean. If you are flying high in a dream and you start falling, it can mean that you are being blocked from success.

  • Flying with Wings

If you dream of flying like a bird, it can mean that you are being positive, and you are starting something new. This can mean that you are a free spirit, and you have things coming your way that are good. These things can make you happy and can empower you.

  • Flying in a Plane

Another common dream is flying in an airplane. If you dream of this, it can mean that you want to take a journey in your life. It can mean that you are independent and that you want to be free. You can control where you go, and this means you are confident in your life, and you can reach your success easily.

Final Thoughts

Dreaming about flying can be all about what is in your inner mind. You might have good or bad things going on in your life and this can affect the dreams that you have. As you interpret your dreams or get them interpreted, know that this has to do with intuition and your own feelings and insights.

If you aren’t sure if you are able to interpret your dream, talk to someone that does this for a living and see what they tell you that the dream means.

Dreaming of a Deceased Loved One

12
Deceased Loved

When you dream of a loved one that has passed to the other side, this can be a visitation from them. You might wonder if it’s just a dream or if it has a deeper meaning. Sometimes a loved one will come to you so that you can know that they are okay. The great news is that the connection is real.

Dream or Visitation Dream

A regular dream is one that will end with something weird or something that doesn’t make sense. You might dream that you float down the river on a car or that you are flying through the air with a sling shot.

This is a regular dream, and it doesn’t make sense because it isn’t meant to. It is just nonsense, and it is a simple thing to give you pleasure and peace while you are sleeping.

Visitation Dream

A visitation dream is different. This is when your loved one comes to you to tell you something or to deliver a message to you. It is easiest for a loved one that has died to communicate to you with a dream because this is a time that you are resting and listening.

When you are reached by a loved one in your dream, you will know that this is your loved one. You will see that they are there and that they are who they say that they are.

Messages from Loved Ones

There aren’t rules when it comes to a loved one visiting you. You can dream that they are eating with you, hugging you or watching television with you. This can be to show you love and care but there aren’t rules to this.

Dream Connection

Here are some ways that you can know that your loved one has communicated with you:

  • You feel like they are by you. If you wake up and feel like your loved one is with you, this is a visitation dream.
  • They show you another sign later. You might get another sign such as their favorite song on the radio or seeing a bird that they loved. Always have an open mind to these signs. Even a pet can give you a connection and can pick up when a spirit is close to you.

Love is Always There

Love is always there for you, and it never goes away. Dreams are the easiest ways for your loved one to connect with you. Once you start to trust that it was really your loved one, you can look for signs that your dead loved one is sending you.

As soon as you start to be open to these signs, you will let them know that you are open to them coming to you.

Using Dreams for the Future

12
Dreams for the Future

Dreams are one way that you can see into the future. Being able to see into the future and to know things like sicknesses, illnesses, disasters, or other things can help you to know what might happen. Are you someone that dreams of future events?

Precognitive Dreams

Premonition is defined as, “a presentiment of the future; or a warning in advance.” These dreams can come with strong emotions and the brain can have images and ideas that pop into the dream based on the stage of sleep that you are in.

Everyone has dreamed or dreams. This can have to do with what you did in your day, or it can be a dream to help you know what you really want. Dreams all have interpretations, and some people will interpret your dreams differently. You might dream of your teeth falling out and this can mean changes in life, or it can mean decline. You have to use your intuition to find out what the dream means for you.

What happens when you have a premonition? This can be a dream that tells about a future event that comes in a vision and it can be a sign of things to come. These things can be good, or they can be a disaster. Some people have these kinds of dreams before big disasters such as 9/11, the Titanic sinking and other big events.

Here are some of the known premonition dreams:

  • Titanic sinking in 1912: They cancelled their tickets and were saved from the disaster.
  • 1966: Dream about the landslide in Wales UK happening.
  • 1865: President Lincoln reported dreaming of his assassination.

Dreaming of the Future

The dreams can tell the future, but it depends on the dream. You might dream of something that is going to happen, but it might just be a dream and it might be a premonition. You might have had a dream and then it came to life and happened, and this can come from your subconscious mind.

The dream has to do with something that could happen and not just an unconscious mindful thought. It is hard to tell if this kind of dream will really tell the future and you need to pay attention to what your intuition says.

If you have dreams that you think might be telling the future, the best thing that you can do is to journal your dreams. When you wake up, write every detail that you can. Go back and read your journal if your dream comes true and you will know that this was a precognitive dream.

Why Dream of Your Ex?

10
Dream of Your Ex

Most people love to sleep because it lets them have time to relax and to have dreams. The problem though is dreams aren’t always the best, but they can tell you when you are stressing about something in your life. This is especially true when you dream of things that you don’t want to dream of.

One minute you might dream of being at your favorite vacation resort and then out of nowhere, walking down the beach is your ex. Why do you have to dream about your ex? This doesn’t always mean that you want to get back together with them.

Dreams are often something that happens when people are hiding their real feelings. Sometimes this can cause unexpected dreams to come. Even if you are in a relationship with someone new and you are happy, you can still dream about your ex. It isn’t a weird dream to have to see yourself with your ex, even being happy.

It’s not uncommon to dream about an ex but it probably doesn’t mean what you might think it means. If you dream of your ex while you are sleep, here can be some of the main reasons that happens:

You Still Have Feelings

This doesn’t mean that you want to be romantic with your ex, this can mean feelings that you never let out or maybe you didn’t get the closure that you needed. You might have ended the relationship, but you never were able to work past the hurt. This can cause those kinds of dreams.

Making Your New Relationship Work

Another reason to dream about your ex is that you might be comparing your new relationship with the old one. You might wonder what is going to happen with your new person and if you are going to be able to keep this relationship working strongly. Chances are that you want to make your new relationship work and you are worried that it might go sour.

Other Problems

Most dreams are full of signs and symbols and this kind of dream most likely means that you need to have some kind of closure or healing. You need to face whatever caused the relationship to end.

You dream about your ex because you think about how the relationship could have gone differently and you wonder if its your fault. This can make you dream about your ex because you might be worried that the same thing will happen in your new relationship.

You Still Love Them

Even though the relationship ended for a real reason, you might not have ever gotten over your feelings for them. Look and see if this is a relationship that is really over or if you think you can get back with your ex.

The Dream is Who You Are

Some believe that a dream about your ex is that you might think that you gave up too much of your life in the past relationship that you have. Instead of quitting at life. You need to work now to regain your sanity and to regain the lost time that you had with yourself and your friends and family.

Fear of Hurt

Getting over someone that you love can be painful. If you are dreaming of your ex, chances are that you might be afraid of getting hurt. You might worry that you are going to get your heart broken again or that you are going to go down that same path of emotional pain.

Changing Your Life

When an ex shows up in your dream, it can mean that you are hiding parts of yourself that you need to embrace and to care about. This kind of dream can mean that you need to reconnect with your inner self and that you need to strengthen your inner relationship.

Seeking Forgiveness

The relationship that you were in might have ended painful. If it did, chances are that you are dreaming of your ex because you need to forgive them or you need to forgive yourself. Think about what happened and what you need to do to move on.

Missing Their Company

You can miss someone because of the change in your life that takes place after they leave. If you dream of your ex, it doesn’t always mean that you miss being with them, it can also mean that you just miss doing things with them and doing the things that you used to do as a couple.

You Aren’t Happy

Dreaming of an ex can mean that you have things that are going on in your life that are bringing you stress and sadness. There can be things that make you unhappy and that are causing you to not live your best life.

The best thing that you can do is to look at your life and to see what you can do to move forward and to find how to bring happiness to yourself.

Dreaming of Wedding Dresses

13
Wedding Dresses

People dream of having a perfect wedding and even as children, many times we dream of what we think our wedding will be like. Some will have the dreams that they dreamed to come true. When it comes time to wedding seasons, dreaming of wedding dresses might start to happen more and more. This can come from the feelings that people have of anticipation of the big wedding day.

What does it mean to you if you are dreaming of a wedding dress? These dreams can come even when you aren’t getting married, and they might have different meanings and interpretation.

Saying Yes About the Dress Dreams

Do you plan on getting married and picking out the perfect dress? If you are happy with it, you might have this dream because you are confirming that you are ready to commit to your relationship in the perfect dress.

Marriages are about couples and a wedding dress is one of the things that the bride picks out on her own. This can mean partnership. If you are happy with your dress but other people didn’t like it, you might have a dream because you are not getting the support that you need from others.

Other reasons that you might dream about your wedding dress is because you are not as confident as you want to be. If you dream the dress doesn’t fit, this can be a sign of lacking confidence.

Dress is Ruined Dream

Maybe you are dreaming that you have the dress, and you dream it gets ruined. This can be stressful because you know in your mind that you have to keep the dress perfect until your big day. Or this can also mean that you are protective of something in your life.

If you dream that the dress was given to you, you might care deeply for the person that gave you the dress. You might wonder what is going to happen when your marriage happens and if the person that gave you the heirloom dress will still love you.

Notice how your dress was ruined when you dream. Notice if you are the one wearing the dress or someone else and if you were the one that ruined it or someone else. This can mean that you feel that your wedding is going to be sabotaged by someone else.

Also, a dirty dress can mean that you feel that you have no self-esteem and that you are worried about committing to your partner. You also might feel that people around you are jealous of your wedding and that they don’t really care about you like they say.

Missing Dress Dream

Did you dream that your wedding dress is missing? This kind of dream can mean that you feel that you can’t afford to buy a dress and that you want to be able to buy something more expensive.

The dress can also come in a dream and not be white. Notice the color and what the color of the dress makes you feel. What is the color of the dress saying? A red dress can mean you are bold or that you are passionate about something.

Wearing the Dress Not in the Wedding Dream

Some people dream of wearing their dress in a totally different setting than the wedding. This can mean that you are ready to commit but it isn’t in a relationship but something else.

If you dream of your wedding dress being put on by someone else, it can mean that you feel that you aren’t the one that has got to be in the spotlight, and you are upset about it. This can mean that you need more attention, and you need to have self-love.

It’s Only a Dress

Even though a wedding dress is important, remember, it’s only a dress. Dreaming of a wedding dress can mean that you are stressed about other things or that things in your life are upsetting you.

Notice what happens in the dream and what it makes you feel like. This can change what you think and what you feel about your dream.

Understanding Lucid Dreaming

5
Lucid Dreaming

Everyone dreams at one time or another but not everyone remembers their dreams. On another note, some people consider dreams to be part of your deep subconscious but that would mean that you have no control over your dreams. Other people believe in what is called lucid dreaming.

Lucid dreaming happens when the dreamer is sleeping but they know what their soul is doing. They are able to move, have emotions, to see things and to make decisions as they dream. Have you ever experienced lucid dreaming? Here are some things you should know.

Why Does Lucid Dreams Happen?

Lucid dreams happen in two stages, either REM dreaming or non-REM sleep. REM means “rapid eye movement” non-REM sleeping is a sleeping state, and it is a time when your body has slowed down, the heart rate gets slower, and your eyes are moving slowly. Your brainwaves will become slower as well.

During REM sleep, your brainwaves and your heart rate will get higher. You will begin lucid dreaming at this phase because it is a time when your brain is extremely active.

How to Lucid Dream

Lucid dreaming is something that not everyone wants to experience. This isn’t something that you can always do naturally but as you practice and learn how to make it happen, you can do it more and more on your own. Here are some practices that you can do if you want to do your own lucid dreaming:

Go Into REM Sleep

Even though you might not be able to always get there, getting into REM sleep can help you to increase your chances or lucid dreaming. This is something you can practice making it happen. Here is how:

  • Exercise each day.
  • Go to bed at the same time.
  • Avoid electronics before bed.
  • Don’t drink caffeine or alcohol before bedtime.

Test Your Reality

Some people aren’t always sure if they are in REM sleep or not. You can test this in your waking state. In order to do this while you are sleeping, you can do things in your dream that wouldn’t normally happen in a dream. Here is what to do:

  • Look into a mirror and see if you see something other than yourself.
  • If you have tattoos, look to see if the tattoos are different than the ones really on your body.

Waking Up

Your brain is amazing and complex and even in science people have studied the brain for years and years and still don’t know everything there is to know. Your brain is something that can be trained.

When you want to lucid dream, you can do this by trying the “wake back to bed” method. This means that you wake yourself up when you are five hours into your sleeping. Then, go right back to sleep and this will get your brain right into REM sleeping. You will be conscious at this time and lucid dreaming will likely be easier.

Final Thoughts

Do you get tired of just having regular dreams and you want to try lucid dreaming? Try these steps and see if you are able to get in control of your dreams. Dream, dream, and dream!
