cuz awhile back i ordered some posters online...had no clue when they'd actually deliver them...but the night before i got the package i dreamed that i got it. as soon as i woke up and walked up the stairs the UPS guy was walkin to the door. this exact thing has actually happened to me two or three times. also a lot of times when i think about something and imagine the outcome, it is usually pretty accurate to what i thought it would be...theres a few other things that have happened only i cant think of them now...that and im too tired to type much.
the thing with intuition like that, is we often let our own desire and expectations get in the way of our predictions or feelings, like say with a girl you like, you try to figure it out but you just keep making up shit because thats what you want... i too have/am going through some of the same thing, lately though, after letting it go it seems to come to me much more, and i am much more accurate in almost all of my feelings and intuitions, which is so nice, it can really help us with day to day life... what ive found though you cant really try with these things, that is only counterproductive, just gotta let it flow and be, and let it go... this is harder for some than others, people often use meditation or psychadelics(the easy way) to make these abilities come easier... edit* and i try to stray from the psi phenomona psychic thing, you are no more different than joe blow down the street, we all potentially have these abilities.
gloom is beautiful, We all have moments of Precognition. Sometimes these moments occur during REM sleep and other times they occur while we're under physical or psychological stress. Some people use meditation to alter their state of consciousness, but that can be dangerous. by altering one's brain state it could trigger a mental illness in someone who was already born with a predispostion for a mental illness. While most people enjoy the meditation experience some folks experience fear and momentary paranoia. no one seems to quite know why. Sometimes it's better to just enjoy the experience of knowing what lays ahead, without trying to duplicate the experience by experimenting with something we know so little about. hotwater
That's how it happened with me...I'd have dreams or visions of silly, inconsequential stuff...mostly kind of unusual things...then a few days later I would see or experience that thing. It is something you can't force, but when it happens its cool. The only difference is with earthquakes. For some reason I get premonitions of them before they happen. Maybe other people have it for airplanes or something...who knows why?
Whatever is that you dream, your brain finds a way to relate to it in real life situations, dreams are never clear enough they alwasy are missing pieces, pieces which your brain puts together and adds, and then douring the day you will be like 'HOLY SHIT I DREAMED OF THIS' when you really didnt...
flake, You're right the brain does search for patterns in chaos. hundreds of years ago our ancestors looked up to the night skies and instead of seeing millions of stars, they formed patterns within the stars from contemporary images. That was the first step towards art and creativity. also, I wouldn't completely disregard dreams and it's relationship to precognition. There are those selective few who have managed to open their minds to a broader view of reality. Hotwater
