Precognitive
Dreams, Premonitions & Warning Dreams
Though dreams are generally symbolic of psychological processes,
some dreams and nightmares are intended as guidance or warnings
on a very practical level. For example, if you were to dream
about the brakes failing on your car, it might help to ponder
whether you are figuratively having trouble "slowing
yourself down" in your life, however, it would also be
very wise to check the actual brakes on your automobile in
waking life.
Assuredly, not all precognitve dreams are about dire events,
though when they are, such nightmares or anxiety dreams warn
of current behavior trends, courses of action, or decisions
which may soon become detrimental unless we change them, as
exemplified in this dream by Stanford University pioneer sleep
researcher Dr. William Dement:
"Some years ago I was a heavy cigarette smoker, up to
two packs a day. Then one night I had an exceptionally vivid
and realistic dream in which I had inoperable cancer of the
lung. I remember as though it were yesterday looking at the
ominous shadow in my chest X-ray and realizing that the entire
right lung was infiltrated. I experienced the incredible anguish
of knowing my life was soon to end, that I would never see
my children grow up, and that none of this would ever have
happened if I had quit cigarettes when I first learned of
their carcinogenic potential. I will never forget the surprise,
joy, and exquisite relief of waking up. I felt I was reborn.
Needless to say, the experience was sufficient to induce the
immediate cessation of my cigarette habit."
Somehow, dreams have access to information above and beyond
the physical senses, both in terms of geography and time.
Exactly how this is possible is an extremely interesting question,
both for the individual who has such experiences, and, in
general, for the scientific community—where a solely
objective investigative approach often misses a lot of valuable
clues about the nature of reality, especially when it comes
to the realm of subjective experiences such as dreams. My
view is that the state of consciousness from where our dream
experiences arise is not the same as the "normal"
physical waking state (which varies a great deal also), and
so perceptions which come to us from such a state (and similarly
with meditation, and even day-dreaming and deep states of
creativity) arise from a framework beyond our physical one,
and hence come from outside our normal framework of time and
space. Therefore, it is actually no great surprise and even
somewhat common (especially with dreams) that we can sense,
through a faculty other than the five physical senses, information
which, within the physical world is either ahead or long past
in terms of time, unavailable to us in terms of physical location
or geography, or unknown to us though others in our life are
aware of such information.
