Project August’s Report #2 is now published. If you submitted a Project August dream and did not receive a password via your DreamBase account’s email, then please contact us.
DreamForecasting is a multi-step process. First, we take all the text from the dreams and analyze just the words that were used (i.e., what was said and with what frequency). The software then separates the various word types and lays out all the phrases in a pre-determined order based on the software algorithm. The resulting chart is read for actual forecasting content or hints about important trends/phrases that could be investigated via some other source. There are an infinite amount of sources, but our primary investigation will start by looking at the underlying dream stories.
The DreamBot is very important in this process for many reasons. First, it offers an overall sentiment for the dream content, which we believe may indicate the overall feeling that humanity is attracting to ourselves and/or the fate to which we shall experience in the future (or some combination of the above).
Second, the DreamBot holds an extremely valuable indication of important trends and overlaps from the manifest dream content (Freud’s term that simply represents the images, events, and objects in each person’s dream). As we know from history and personal experiences, dreams can and do show us snippets of future events, and sometimes those predictions are played out in real life. More importantly, many real-life events are preceded by similar dream accounts from different people.
It’s that overlap in manifest content that seems to offer more reliable indicators of future events. If 30 people are dreaming about big water events, and one person dreams about an earthquake, which is more likely to occur? Our theory supports the water event as more likely, but keep in mind that this has not been tested scientifically. It is still mere conjecture. However, the famous Princeton lab (The PEAR lab) and researchers such as Dean Radin have noted that resonating intentions will sway Random Number Generators to a greater degree than single intentions in isolation. Therefore, in the constructivist model of reality, we could possibly (at a minimum) equate overlapping dream material with the PEAR lab’s multiple-person intentions. In short our resonating dreams might be swaying the Integrated Information Field and actually causing the future to happen!
Regardless of the underlying truth here, we’re proceeding with our hypothesis and looking for obvious overlaps in dream content. The more overlap, the better, at least in this model. So, now, let’s discuss our findings in order of the process steps.
Step 1: Analysis based solely on the linguistics chart
Well how about this? The DreamBot seems to be whispering something faint about a topic that I haveabsolutely no interest in talking about. I’d rather just continue beating around the bush to infinity, but why waste my time and yours? The top linguistics phrase in the May 17th version of the Project August DreamBot run is….
(hold on, let’s take a moment to listen to the drum beats…)
Okay, everyone ready? Here it goes: “Looking House White.”
Are you kidding me? The DreamBot might be looking at the White House, but the details after that phrase are somewhat cryptic (or rather I desire it to be cryptic even though its really not). Here’s the raw structure that gives little help on the overall vector (i.e., we’d at least like to know if it’s positive or negative, but I don’t have much feel for that here.)

…some of us don’t dream, (i fall asleep dead tired from a very physical full day) at least remember them if a dream is had, so it rather sucks not having a dream to post/partake or read the Aug project. I’ve tried not only thinking great thoughts for a better future for humanity, I’ve tried shooting for an August headline, nothing, nadda, zilch. I even tried taking melatonin, but it only made my mornings very groggy.
Meanwhile, the postings have been great. I started reading (and working hard at dreaming) after learning about the project from your CTC interview.
Thanks, cj. I know there’s a large sect of the population in the same boat as you. Somewhere back before PA started, I commented that people should contact me if they wanted the reports without being able to remember dreams. I went about 10 years without a dream…thought I’d lost the ability to dream at all. It took one night of certain procedures, and voila….one dream that night and about 10 dreams that week! Thank you for your interest, and we can talk about dream memories in future installments.
In the meantime, an email is coming your way shortly with a password in it. Thanks for being such a positive influence on humanity!

Had not had a dream I remembered in ages until last week which I posted here now right away a second one similar in nature verbal mostly but not the same message. This last nights dream had no image I recall at all just repeated words in a mans voice saying “Things are going to get VERY BAD soon” the “very bad” part his voice dropped deeper every time to emphasize it I guess, I did not recognize the voice. I got no timeframe impression other than soon as it said, very ambiguous and no impression if it meant economic, war, disease or what.
Reguarding #2 It was mentioned that if 30 people dreamed about water and one about an earthquake…
While reading that it occured to me both can still be propable. It would be intresting to compare the reigions of the dreamers. Is it possible that 30 water dreamers live on a certian coast together where they will be directly affected by such an event, where someone in say California would be effected more likely by an earthquake? Can the both happen & be accurate?
Does someone dream about events that would affect their day to day BEFORE national dreams, or is it irrelevant?
Just something I thought I would share in case you have not given it any thought yet.
Great point, and this is another of my hypotheses. There’s no evidence yet to support the theory that multiple dreamers are more accurate than a single dreamer, and yes, both CAN happen and be accurate. You’re absolutely right, and you’re thinking is very sound here. So far, my analysis suggests that someone will have to have seen the headline in the future in some way (i.e. newspaper, TV, real life, etc.) in order to pick it up precognitively. Also, I do think we’re naturally picking up things that are more relevant to us personally before national headlines. Great post, AEtheria!
