Are you dreams trying to tell you something?

We have all heard stories of people who have dreamed of a series of numbers, and used those numbers to win the lottery, or of people who have dreamed of impending disaster, and then made choices that saved their lives like changing from a flight that crashed or staying home the day a bomb went off at work.  Indeed, there are many cases in history of predicting the future, from people in the bible to President Abraham Lincoln.  We call these dreams “precognitive dreams.”

Science cannot explain these experiences, but does that make them untrue?

Dreams of our own personal future may not be as dramatic or as extreme as those life changing examples, but nor may they be so rare.  Our subconscious mind has many more capabilities than we are usually aware of, or indeed, than we make use of.  One of the great skills of our subconscious mind is to seek meaning in things we don’t understand, and part of the way to do this is to look for patterns in our lives.  Our subconscious mind will often see the implications of our choices, the cause and effect going on in our lives, before we consciously realise.  Our dreams may indeed be visions of the future if we learn to understand them, our subconscious minds way of saying “if you do this, this is what may happen”.   Sometimes this may be a warning, at other times it can be a solution to a problem, or show the reward of our hard work, patience or perseverance.

Where are the signs in our dreams pointing towards?

Another way dreams can help us anticipate the future is by supporting our intuition.  in those moments when we just “get a hunch” or “have a feeling,” our intuition is at work.  Sometimes our intuition may stem from a half remembered dream, or it may be the conscious recognition of the patterns the dreams have been playing out in our minds for some ways.  As we improve our relationship with dreams, so too can we improve our intuition, and increase the likelihood of having those lucky hunches more often.

Sometimes though, it seems even this explanation is inadequate.  Sometimes a dream of the future may seem to be a specific message or intention sent to us from another place.  This seems to be particularly true when we dream of a loved one.  This may take the form of a deceased relative, who appears to warn or give advice, or maybe someone precious who is far away, and needs to share some important information.  What exactly is going on here?

There is actually a lot of scientific work going on to explore the connection between human minds.  (The links below are a good place to start exploring.)  Physics is starting to unravel some of the mysteries as to how space and time can be irrelevant when to seemingly separate things are actually part of the same thing.  Who knows if this is happening when are dream of those we love.  This can be perhaps more easilly accessed in our dreaming state, when our conscious mind is not in the way to tell us what is impossible!

How can your dreams help you live a brighter future?

But science still has a long way to go in explaining communication with the departed.  Perhaps this is one experience we have to interpret purely in our own personal way, and to make the best of what we learn.

Even without being visited by people, alive or no, in our sleeping hours, we can all learn to better cultivate our own self understanding through dreams, and in doing so become the best possible creators of our future.
