For those who missed it, the DreamBot registered an alarming surge in some very rare dream words on September 5th, 2014. It was not only a collection of strange, unlikely religious words, but this list was unprecedented from another significant measure: The amount of increase in one of those words was completely and utterly unexplainable as the NDC staff and visitors watched in awe (while wondering what the linguistics was warning).
Check out this chart that was posted on our Daily DreamBot forum:
Just as in our standard DreamBot runs, this list includes an eclectic diversity of major themes from the collective dream content. We call this diversity “noise level themes,” because they represent a standard level of randomness in the data.
But certainly not everything is random in what the DreamBot picks up. The Sept 5th Holy DreamBot run is a great example. “Monk” is impressive just by itself with a whopping 5,800% increase, which was its jump in just one day! To give you a comparison, the typical daily run’s TOP 3 surging memes added together rarely matches what Monk did all by itself!
Seeing the first half of the list, the theme becomes very clear…three words indicating a collective obsession with eastern Buddhism. The inclusion of “Catholic” certainly isn’t random either, and we’ll cover that next.
Now we introduce why this necessitates a rewind of this unprecedented run. Who would be considered the World’s #1 Eastern Buddhist monk? Correct…The Dalai Lama.
Yesterday, our very observant reader Andrue sent us this…talk about a monk bombshell…

Dalai Lama says no need for successor
September 7, 2014 5:55 PM
The Dalai Lama has told a German newspaper that he should be the last Tibetan spiritual leader, ending a centuries-old religious tradition from his Himalayan homeland.
His comments to the Welt am Sonntag newspaper echo his previous statement that “the institution of the Dalai Lama has served its purpose”, but were even more explicit.
“We had a Dalai Lama for almost five centuries. The 14th Dalai Lama now is very popular. Let us then finish with a popular Dalai Lama,” he said.
“If a weak Dalai Lama comes along, then it will just disgrace the Dalai Lama,” he added with a laugh, according to a transcript of the English language interview.
He also said: “Tibetan Buddhism is not dependent on one individual. We have a very good organisational structure with highly trained monks and scholars.”

ad infinitum…
Wow precedes Wow
The first observation here is that collective dreams CAN and DO see relevant glimpses into the future. We’ve seen this time and time again. Among many others examples, the DreamBot accurately predicted John Carney leaving the White House and the loss of the August grape harvest in the northern US states this year.
However, as I indicated before, this level of frequency surge in the word “Monk” was absolutely unprecedented, indicating that the collective unconscious did, in fact, “see” something….well….unprecedented.
Which leads us to the next mammoth point…timing
Timing
Notice how we had a whopping 2 day notice for this huge announcement. “Monk” shows up on the 5th, and The Dalai’s headline appears on the 7th. That is absolutely no time to do our typical dream incubation for more details. Therefore, if we want to perfect our ability to get accurate predictions out before these high-flying words make real-world headlines, we’ve got to change our ways.
Right now we have a team that just got underway at the NDC called, Team 1. This is the 1st of 2 groups in the new initiative dubbed Paradigm 3 (http://nationaldreamcenter.com/forum18/showthread.php?tid=5 ). Team 1’s job is to get details about humanity’s highest future probabilities, and their specialty is dream incubation. Therefore:
1. We will now need a 24-hour emergency on-call dreamer in case one of these unprecedented words pops up again like this. For this single datapoint, it appears that we have mere days (if that) to get clarity about what is coming. This may prove to be quite a challenge in the near term as we’re just getting our roots growing in Paradigm 3.
2. This also shows the power of DreamBot4, whose specialty is scoping out big themes in the collective dreams. DreamBot4 is quick, it’s powerful, and it grants us big-picture themes to get us in the ballpark of what’s coming.
Therefore, it behooves all readers to show up every day at the NDC forums to check out what everyone is dreaming, and what words are surging. You want to be ahead of the future, and this is the place to be each day: http://nationaldreamcenter.com/forum18/forumdisplay.php?fid=4
But what about “Catholic?”
It is our further opinion that the word “Catholic” was no accident either, and we’re not basing this solely on the single Sept 5th Holy DreamBot. We’ve had a plethora of talented dreamers all gathering about this growing meme of Religion.
More uncommon dream words in the very recent Religion basket include Pope, Estonian Christianity, Rome, tons of Churches and even some metaphors like the partaking of the sacred, bread-based communion. On top of this, there is yet another meme that has been brewing all summer…that of Religion + Death. We haven’t been able to discern whether this relationship is ultimately literal (i.e., someone literally dying) or metaphoric (i.e., the death of dogma), but regardless, we have seen both of these ideas in some major news hits, particularly in Project August.
This recent Monk hit with Dalai Lama suggest that the trend is more associated with dogma, or rather humanity’s move away from concrete mindsets. I believe that the collective mind (the dreaming mind that taps into C.G. Jung’s collective unconscious) has identified a bigger meme here.
Yes, Monk was unprecedented and yes, the Dalai Lama’s statement was just as unprecedented. However, it is my conviction that this is an indicator of something even bigger…the runaway freight train of tossing out dogmatic belief systems, and I believe the next shoe to drop is something inside the Vatican.
Based on the precedence here, the elimination of dogma is by far the bigger trend, and so Catholicism will somehow feed into this somehow in the coming days, probably not via a literal death, but rather by some big announcement, maybe by the Pope himself, or by an influential person in the Christian churches.
New Potential Headline: Announcement made on September 23rd, 2014, during communion from the Vatican’s St Peter square, reverberates throughout the Catholic world.
Update: This headline also came true, but to a lesser degree: http://nationaldreamcenter.com/wp/2014/10/holy-dreambot-finalized-we-think/

I think I now understand the dream I posted this AM. I think it was saying we are going to see one dream after another pop off , Dreambot 4 is going to explode with headlines.
I think this is so interesting and amazing, but I can’t help but laugh when it says “monk”, “buddhist”, “catholic” and then “PIZZA”. =)
About 5 days ago I watched a movie and then later I was looking at rumormillnews and saw the dream post there and it looked interesting so I read it. I was amazed that the words monk and the Dalai Lama had been dreamed a lot when that morning the movie I watched was “10 Questions for the Dalai Lama”. For some reason he’s on our collective mind.
