First issue: Flood\u2026.past, present, or future?<\/p>\n
Two of the biggest jumps in this week\u2019s DreamForecast are \u201cflood\u201d and \u201cGhana\u201d (as in the country). So, I naturally asked, \u201cWhat the heck kind of DreamForecast is this anyway?\u201d<\/p>\n
It\u2019s not too uncommon to see headlines about floods, which I did manage to find a couple today, but trying to find dream-worthy news about this African country is like trying to find a needle in a haystack.<\/p>\n
I did find some news, and I think this shows us our first definitive glance at what I call \u201cCollective Day Residue\u201d<\/p>\n
Day residue is a common phrase in the dreamwork circles, and it refers to the \u201cundigested\u201d emotional or cognitive process that happened during the day. For example, if you saw a helpless elephant get slaughtered on TV, you might end up repressing that image, which means that you would simply unconsciously pretend that you didn\u2019t see it. But the image still resides in the unconscious, which then comes out in your dream that night.<\/p>\n
That\u2019s called \u201cday residue,\u201d and what I\u2019m doing here is considering a very strong case of Ghana + flood being our first definitive case of day residue at the collective level. Let me walk everybody through this sequentially.<\/p>\n
Okay, the dreams for this particular DreamForecast were dreamt between June 30th<\/sup> and yesterday, July 7th<\/sup>. The headline that I believe is directly related to our linguistics here was found by searching for the top two words for the week\u2026Flood and Ghana.<\/p>\n The result was numerous links discussing this issue\u2026<\/p>\n FIFA World Cup 2014: U.S.-Ghana site under flood alert<\/a> By Evan Hilbert | CBSSports.com<\/em><\/p>\n Note that this article came out on June 15th<\/sup>, which precedes all the dreams by about two weeks. Is this day residue? It might be. This was team USA\u2019s first World Cup match, and while the game did NOT get delayed because of flooding, there were a LOT of headlines reporting the flood alert for this particular matchup.<\/p>\n My point here is that there was a lot of emotional buildup that could definitely have gotten lodged in the collective unconscious very easily.<\/p>\n Another option, of course, is that these two terms present an ongoing trend in the media sphere. There is, I believe, sufficient data to support this already, or at least the flood meme by itself.<\/p>\n Take for example the fact that flooding in the Mississippi River caused two bridges to close yesterday<\/a>. Also, we even see floods of humans coming over the border<\/a>, and the media is even using these terms now (i.e. a flood of bodies).<\/p>\n However, Ghana is very quiet on the news trends since that June 15th<\/sup> flood alert. That might change, but the news would have to be quite large to overcome the notion of collective day residue.<\/p>\n Let\u2019s shift now the rest of the DreamForecast with\u2026<\/p>\n Flood was the top dog as already discussed, but \u201cSunny\u201d was just behind, and \u201cWindy\u201d in a close third position. Interestingly, \u201cCold\u201d and \u201cIce Storm\u201d remain in the top 5 with about 70% increase this week. This brings me to an interesting dream recently, which described freezing temperatures in the middle of the summer:<\/p>\n I dreamed that I had a metal trough in my back yard – the kind used for animals to drink water from. One day in the middle of summer I looked out the window and the water in the trough was frozen over. My cat was outside looking at it curiously. She managed to tip it over upon herself. I ran outside and pulled up the trough and fortunately she was okay. Then I ran inside to call my mom and tell her about how the water was frozen over.<\/em><\/p>\n Now, I was cautious with the particular dream, because I knew the dream MIGHT have simply been day residue from our previous DreamForecasts that talked at length about pole reversals.<\/p>\n So, I asked this dreamer whether she had read either of the past two DreamForecasts, and she said\u2026<\/p>\n No it has been a while, probably several months since I have been at your website. I seldom remember dreams and not all of them are of the kind that fit with the mission of your database.<\/em><\/p>\n Therefore, no indication of day residue here!<\/p>\n For those new to weird weather patterns, one of the biggest symptoms of a pole reversal (and there are many, by the way) is the sudden and dramatic change in weather\u2026to a degree that is much more significant that we\u2019ve seen from the so-called \u201cclimate change\u201d (a whole other hornet\u2019s nest that I don\u2019t want to cover in this venue).<\/p>\n What\u2019s more, check out how closely this dream resembles the dream linguistics from the 3rd<\/sup> Project August report:<\/p>\n \u201cEarth food hard ice\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n It does seem that we are triangulating something very spectacular here. Project August dreams suggest some food freezing, we now have a non-Project August dream saying the exact same thing, and we have not one but 2 previous DreamForecasts that suggest a mechanism for freezing food\u2026.a pole shift. That\u2019s at least 4 different venues suggesting the same sort of outcome.<\/p>\n When was the last time that happened? Our first Red Alert here at the National Dream Center concerned crashing airplanes, which did unfold with a decent (not perfect) DreamSeer score.<\/p>\n Are getting close to a Red Alert for pole shifting? Let\u2019s cover that next\u2026<\/p>\n Equator was a word that was climbing in the last few reports. Now it\u2019s #1 in the geographical features in two different measures. It has the most number of hits and it also climbed a phenomenal 204% from last week!<\/p>\n Name another word that hinted about a pole shift\u2026.hopefully you said, \u201cNorth Pole\u201d because that is now number 2 in raw hits and #3 in the amount of increase (156%). South Pole isn\u2019t anywhere close to the top, but it did see an increase of 23%.<\/p>\n So, we have in this order: equator, riverbed, north pole, pond, canyon, glacier, island. The only surprising loss we had was moon, which received only 18 hits and fell about 10 spots in the chart.<\/p>\n But what do these results have to say about a pole shift? Well, unfortunately, we have no previous data to go on here. This version of the DreamBot is too knew to make any sort of definitive predictions, and that\u2019s why I don\u2019t feel compelled to issue an official Red Alert (yet), but I do have to say that the evidence does look positive, especially considering some of the other news coming out, even from NASA (Never a Straight Answer).<\/p>\n If there\u2019s one thing I can confidently project, is that equator and North Pole surely cannot maintain this tremendous climb. It\u2019s just not sustainable, at least in the number of hits in our collective dreams. I\u2019m already anxious about seeing next week\u2019s numbers.<\/p>\n As far as Red Alerts, my intuition seems to be tempering this one, and I don\u2019t know why. There are a lot of indicators here suggesting something big like food freezing and pole reversals. And the timing is also converging. The August linguistics and the weekly linguistics overlapping should mean something.<\/p>\n So how about we issue a yellow caution for now, and await the next few days\/weeks worth of dreams?<\/p>\n In the meantime, you may be interested in all the weird noises around the country<\/a> that people are apparently reporting. Is this the sound that pole shifts make?<\/p>\n Incidentally, here\u2019s an actual account from someone who apparently heard the sound. If the description is correct, then I have also personally heard this noise:<\/p>\nOther Option<\/h3>\n
