The follow-on to yesterday’s State of the World Report was supposed to be today, but this breaking story took full priority. Don’t miss tomorrow’s “Future-Look” report, which I hope to make a weekly event. I’ll explain all that tomorrow. And now, please sit down with a nice warm cup of coffee and get comfortable…
Okay, folks, this one is a VERY literal dream come true, but before we get too excited…there are a couple of big things you should know up front: 1) First of all, it’s one of those horrific dreams that you never want to come true, and 2) although the spatial aspect was VERY precise, the time aspect was inaccurate. Wait….time aspect inaccurate? Since when do precognitive dreams come with time constraints?
Here’s the problem in a nutshell: a dreamer submitted a dream for Project August (P.A.), but it came true in April. It was our second P.A. submission, and I actually commented on this dream on a 23-April posting (more on that later). Did this dream come true early or can dreams predict multiple events? Will this tornado also take place in August? We’ll explore these questions, but let’s back up first and cover all the amazing details…
In accordance with the P.A. mandates, the dreamer claims to have intended about major headlines in August 2014 before falling asleep that night, but the dream she actually received was a near-verbatim account of what she would experience 6 days later (the night of April 27, 2014).
Let’s begin with the entire dream itself. It was submitted on the 22nd of April to the DreamBase, and was dreamed the night prior (April 21st). But we didn’t make it public, because except for my crazy August dream, I’m hiding them from public view so as to not taint future dream incubations (if you want proof that she submitted it on the 22nd, click here). Okay, here’s what she submitted:
“My family is outside gardening. My husband has no shirt on because it is so hot and he is working hard digging in the ground. We all have hats on to keep us out of the hot sun, when my husband comes up to me holding his shovel and tells me that I need to go ahead and place that vitacost order so that we have them when we need them. (I Don’t remember what vitamin it was).
Outside looking at clouds keep making swirls. I yell at dad to come inside and he tells me that even though the clouds are swirling and look like they are about to form tornados that they are too low and aren’t tornado clouds. I don’t agree with him and am watching what I think are tornados swirl all around in the lower horizon of the sky (like when a storm is brewing).
The skies were blue, the sun is out, and it doesn’t look like rain at all but there are these huge weird looking clouds that are whitish clouds full of brown plumes that looked kind of like a puff of dirt swirling and heading towards us but it wasn’t dirt because it was in the sky.
I look up and see a huge one coming right for us and I am yelling at my dad to take cover. Then I wake up.”
“Location, location, location”
Since this was such an early P.A. dream, I took the opportunity to explain how we greatly desire location from the dreams in order to correctly pinpoint projected events for August 2014. I stated:
“Rule number one for all P.A. participants: LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION! While we can increase our chances of being “right” if we simply throw out nebulous claims like, “a tornado will hit somewhere in August,” that is not a strict enough projection. We want to be able to predict where the tornado will touch down and when it will do so.”
So, the dreamer obviously contacted me about her dream, and guess where she said her dream took place? Take a wild guess! She said, “Arkansas,” and I updated her P.A. dream to reflect that location.
Let’s fast forward to Sunday night (April 27, 2014).
Our dreamer talks through all the incredible events that happened in their Arkansas backyard. This is also posted in the DreamBase under “Documented Cases”:
So, I intended project August but my precognitive dreams frequently come true within a few days or weeks so I wasn’t surprised that while I intended project August, I believe that my dream unfortunately came true tonight. On Saturday morning, we decided that all danger of frost had passed and decided to work in the garden. It was a very hot day and we were all wearing sun hats, shorts, and tank tops trying to stay cool.
The dream’s setup/environment is correct and accurate. It’s hot out, everyone has hats on and…
We prepared the soil and put all our organic minerals in, raked the soil, and then I asked my husband, who was outside with no shirt on because he had gotten poison ivy all over his chest, to dig the rows while I started to plant. So, we were in the garden, husband with a shovel, outside in really hot weather, gardening. OK so maybe a big coincidence, but today (Sunday the [27]th of April)-not so much.
Her déjà vu could have warned her here that her dream was coming true. But I don’t think she connected the dots at this point…
We are in the garden/farm getting everything ready for the storm that was brewing and I see these weird clouds going over us and I tell my dad that they look like tornado clouds and he argues with me and tells me that they are not tornado clouds at all. It starts to rain and they go inside with us for a bit to visit.
Dream environment is right on target for what is happening. Strange cloud formations and an argument with her dad about what type of clouds they are.
We start talking and my mom mentions that she needs more evening primrose oil and asks me when I’m going to make the Next Vitacost order.
Three strikes, and the gig is up! Everything in reality so far is very close to what happened in the dream. However, in the dream the vitacost suggestion came from her husband, but in reality it ended up coming from her mom. Luckily, it was finally enough to spring her into action. It appears the argument with her dad ended up being much stronger in waking life, as she discusses next:
All of a sudden, I realize my dream has been manifesting and I tell my parents. I went out to check the weather and the clouds looked funny and I believed that I was witnessing a SuperCell. So, even though it was getting late, I ask my mom and dad to stay in the basement with me and relayed what I saw. I check the weather and we are under a tornado watch. It’s around 7:00PM and my dad still decided to go home even though I asked him to stay in the basement with us. He left, with my still arguing that there was a tornado coming, as my dream was manifesting.
Okay, now reality is catching up to the very end of her dream. In real life, newscasters were preparing the Arkansas citizens for a major storm. Tweets from local and national organizations were telling people to seek cover and government warning sirens were going off, but it still wasn’t enough to convince her dad…
There ended up being several different periods of storm warnings. This is one of them in her locale… “Earlier, a tornado warning was issued for Johnson, Logan, Pope and Yell counties in Arkansas.” http://5newsonline.com/2014/04/27/tornado-warning-issued-for-logan-polk-scott-counties/ . Recall that a tornado warning means that a funnel cloud has actually been seen, or the conditions are extremely high for immediate formation.
Turns out, she was right smack in the middle of SEVERAL monstrous tornado clouds! Notice the pictures below. These were the screenshots of Arkansas weather at about 10:30ish PM. Her location was the aqua-colored circle, and the two triangles were where the deaths happened. At least two tornado WARNINGS were issued for her location.
There’s two screenshots here, so you can see how the storm passed right over the aqua circle. The two screenshots were 15 minutes apart. On the left, the storm is just about to hit. On the right, it’s already passed. There was a tornado warning for this period, but this was only one of several watches and warnings for this area!
To the north of our dreamer by about 30 miles or so was Bentonville, where they learned their warning sirens were broken for all three of their tornado watches—great time to learn about such things! Okay, back to her story. She finally gets confirmation that tornado clouds are immanent, but it came from a phone call, not twitter, tv, or the internet…
Suddenly…the phone rings. It’s my brother who calls and asks my parents and I to get in the basement because a massive tornado just (sadly) wiped out Mayflower, Arkansas, a small town we have frequented on the way to visit my family who live 30 minutes away. I was so sad…everything exactly as my dream. I call my dad and ask him to come over immediately because I can’t check the weather as the internet was out and I feel that they need to take cover immediately. (they don’t have a basement) My dad still refused arguing with me about whether or not it was a tornado or a thunderstorm.
This argument is dramatically worse than the dream…in this case, is the dream actually creating the reality? I don’t think we’ll ever know this answer…
The weather was so bad. My brother calls back and says that the news had issued a tornado warning for exactly my area in the county about 5 minutes before (right after I unsuccessfully tried to get my dad to come to the basement). When I was able to get back online, the tornado warning was still in effect and it said “seek cover now!” After seeing that and the headline “Massive Tornado devastates Arkansas,” I thought that I should write this post.
Good call, and thank you!!!! Headlines for the Arkansas tornados were abundant. Here are just a couple:

And even Obama weighs in…

My dream was the Project August one that Chris used as the example to talk about how more information would be helpful like was I at my home in the dream…”yes,” and what area of the country or what state was I in…”the South and Arkansas… The state I live in.”
…and the final sentence says it all….
Please pray for the families; I feel so sad like I could have done something and didn’t.
How many precognitive dreamers have this sentiment?
It’s pretty cool to literally see the future through dreams, but for some dreams, the gift presents them with frustration…what the heck do we do with them? This is one of the charters of our organization: That is, researching more usefulness for these types of dreams. Gone are the days about wondering whether precognitive dreams exist…let’s figure out how to actually use them, since we already know they DO exist!
The Implications
First and foremost, did anything happen to her dad? In communicating with this dreamer, she says that no tornado ended up contacting their location, so everyone there is thankfully okay. She did mention that while she and her dad were arguing, her mom was in the corner, “praying very hard.” Who’s to say that the prayers weren’t answered? If the dream represented fate, then perhaps the prayer represented free will. This is, of course, double-speculation, which get’s very dicey to discuss, so let’s move on…
Is this an August dream that just coincidentally came true in April, also? In other words, will this dream come true twice? Maybe our rickety old time machine isn’t too far off, but only time will tell (sorry, bad joke). Regardless of everyone’s take on this, we will be keeping this dream in the P.A. folder since she did make the August intention.
However, if this dream only comes true in April, then what happened to her intention to dream about August? Did she not intend hard enough, or put enough energy into it? Can you intend to have a certain dream to begin with? I wish I had time here to go into this DreamOsophy lesson about incubating dreams for literally any purpose, but I’ll have to save it for a later post. In short, a resounding YES, you can incubate dreams for precise purposes.
Or, perhaps this early manifestation is just a good indication that the time factor is completely separate from dreams and dreaming altogether. Maybe dreams and time are just not compatible at all together. But then why do most of our dreams seem to include a lot of “day residue” from our most recent daytime experiences? That would seem like dreams and dreaming CAN be linear, at least looking backwards in time at your dreams. So, if it can be linear for backward looking, what about forward looking? Therefore, will the P.A. dreams in July be much more accurate than the P.A. dreams in April???? Hmmm, this is one heck of an important observation!
Finally, if dreamers can recall the dream quicker when it’s actually coming true, this could theoretically give them more time to act. It took this dreamer no less than three or four big indicators to recognize that the dream was manifesting. It is definitely a great gift to have these dreams to begin with, but the speed at which we recall the dream (precisely as it is happening) is more of a skill that we need to hone. One technique that is so evasive is to watch the inner feelings. Pay attention to not just what you see, but also be mindful of your emotions. Emotions, according to Jawer and Micozzi, are the big secret connection to the unseen world, which definitely includes precognition.
For Project August Players
Please spend more time incubating your dreams for Project August. Really feel the energy as you drift off to sleep. FEEL the intention; don’t simply spew out a few words. I’m not saying that this dreamer was lazy. All I’m saying is to really be certain that the intention is very, very strong. This is the most important aspect to our project!!
If you experience a dream that you already submitted as a P.A. dream, no problem! Let us know asap, so we can document it as accurately as possible. It does get a bit difficult when only 50% or 25% of the dream comes true. If you recognize that a major portion of your dream has come true, we want to know about it!!
For Everyone
Keep your eye out for dreams coming true. My new hypothesis is that every event in our world is first viewed in our dreams. And since we only remember 5% of our dreams (some of us much less than that), we don’t normally “remember” the future. Bottom line, keep writing your dreams down; keep watching your reality with a close eye; pay attention to your emotions, and most of all….tell us when your dreams are coming true! We scored BIG yesterday for precognitive dreamers, but don’t forget about those who were tramatized by the storm….keep them in your prayers.
Keep up the G-R-E-A-T work, dreamers…you ROCK!!!
