I think I had a "prophetic" dream!

Last night I had a dream that one of my children (I have no children) was being cremated.

This afternoon, I got a call from my parents saying that my pet rabbit (who lives with them in the country rather than with me in the city. Long story) had died and that they had taken him to the vets to be cremated.

I am not a woo woo believer but this kind of creeped me out.

I'm also sad I lost my bunny. He was 12 years old and we all assume he just died of old age. :(
 
Well, I had a prophetic dream not too long ago. I dreamt that there was a big explosion and I got wounded and had to go to a hospital.. More details followed, blah blah.. When I woke up I found out that there was an explosion in Israel that killed a few people in a cafe.



Spooky?



Nope. Because I simply matched up the details after the event. The dream itself, when I recall it, had very little to do with the bombing, but it's not hard to make the connections when I try. Couple that with the amount of dreams I have already had and this looks like nothing but a coincidence. :)

So, bottom line is, please note you dream a lot and out of all your dreams you finally have a prediction. Shouldn't you predict things more often?

Second of all, please note the dream didn't really match up the details. You dreamt about children, you heard the pet died. Cremation or burial are the two only possible way of disposing the body. I'd say you're the "cremation" type to begin with. :p

You simply matched up the details after the event and filled in the gaps to suit. The dream was just a random event, nothing more, heck the details didn't even match up properly :)
 
For a while, I've been having a recurring dream: My cats walk up to me, they begin speaking in unison (in a deep "human-y" voice), they say "To make your infrastructure grow big choose the potion red, to grow small choose green instead".

What does it mean?

It means eating salami and pickled fish before going to bed at night is not a smart thing to do.

That's the trouble with cats - they always speak in riddles.

A dog would have simply told you the meaning straight and plain.
 
I once took a handful of NoDoze and then drank half a bottle of NyQuill and had a dream that I couldn't fall asleep.

Spooky!

From anecdotes it has been estimated that approximately 60% of ESP experiences occur during dreams. Of these about 1/3 are symbolic in nature.

Now it certainly could have been coincidence, or it could have been ESP. Difficult to say without further information from you.

Basically we find that in ESP dreams the dreamer feels very strongly that this was not just a normal dream. They kinda intuitively sense that the dream was special, that it was characteristically unlike normal dreams. So the question here is did you feel the dream was special in this sense? If yes then it is extremely likely it was ESP.

You are getting pop-up dreams from a phallus enlarger (or shrinker - remember Deep Throat) company.
Disconnect you ethernet while sleeping.

Ha ha ha ha ha! :D :D :D

Oh wait...sorry. Was that not meant to be a joke? :confused:

Not true. In an exhaustive study of anecdotes it was found that 88.3 percent of them were derived from the fertile imaginations of the anecdoters, which were fertile because of the liberal application of B S.
Also, you seem to lack a sense that a number of other humans have.
Irony detector for Ian, anyone? At the least, a sarcasm sense. Let alone a pantomime horse or the Queen Mother.
 
Umm..

Actually Ian makes an interesting point.. One that is easily refuted without resorting to name calling or sarcasm. When did the feeling that the dream was special come into play? Before or after the event...

Answer that and you've refuted the anecdotal argument.

Show me the name calling or sarcasm. I don't indulge in the former on this board and the latter probably escapes you.

Edited to say that I used to, but I got better.
And I can crawl again!

You are correct of course. I think it was the grief talking :) I wonder if JE could pick up any messages from my bunny?

No, it was not special.

I didn't really even think about it much until after I heard. I did tell my partner about it before I heard of bunny's demise, so I know I didn't just "create" it afterward.

In that case it was most probably just coincidence.

As I say, precognitive dreams have an unmistakable certain characteristic quality.

I fully realize that logical reasoning is not an absolute law which governs the universe, but I honestly dont believe in ESP because it would violate the Law of Causality (oh, and I dont believe in anything paranormal).

To suggest a dream is precognitive is a bit "unusual". Its simply finding vague "characteristics in common" between real life and dreams. Not worth any more than seeing faces in the clouds.
 
Well, the following is written by you:

You're right though, these aren't specific examples of being sarcastic or using name-calling. They're more examples of talking ◊◊◊◊ in order to disprove someone's point. I simply labelled them under something cleaner - name calling and sarcasm. Since you insist on the correct label, I shall do so.

You answered by talking out of your a** sir. There was no need for it.

ESP dreams do not violate causality.

Many is the time when I dreamed I had to pee, and when I woke up I really did have to pee.

Where's my million dollars?
