Blood Moon Dreams: Linguistic analysis says change is coming!

Posted on April 21, 2014 by ndcadmin

by Chris McCleary; Director, National Dream Center

Anyone interested in analyzing the latest batch of dreams with me? The dreams in our DreamBase seem to have some predictive value. I hadn’t really considered the effect that the heavenly bodies were playing with our dreams, but it ended up coming out in glaring, undeniable fashion. Let’s take a look…

The recent onslaught of dreams really began on the 16th, starting with George’s amazing precognitive dream. This report will cover the 9 dreams between the 16th and today (21st). First off, if I leave anyone’s dreams off this discussion it’s probably because they were associated with already-completed precognitive dreams or dreams for Project August, which will be analyzed separately every two weeks.

In case you missed it, only those who submit Project August dreams in each 2-week period will receive the dream reports and August predictions, so keep posting Project August dreams—it pays to dream with an intention, my friends).

Since this is largely a linguistics inspection of our recent collective dreams, let’s look at the most common words in all those dream accounts.

Reading from the screenshot above, we can see no big surprise that the word “dream” appeared more than any other word…duh! So, excluding the little annoying words like the, and, it, etc, we can see some very interesting trends. For starters, notice the top two words after “dream”…the phrase would be ”one look.” I actually Googled “one look April 2014,” and I was surprised to find that except for BBC One filling most of the first page, two youtube videos of blood moon / lunar eclipse also appeared on the first Google page. What did we see in the period from the 16^th to yesterday? Yes, of course, the blood moon, which, interestingly, might have been an influence on all these magnificent dreams this weekend!

This is a nice connection, but can we extrapolate forward with “one look” and start projecting our future? If this “one look” phrase is pointing out the blood moon and its significance, then perhaps our focus should be on the next “one look.” Since this was just the first of four blood moons, when is the next one?

(From http://www.komonews.com/weather/blogs/scott/First-of-4-Blood-Moon-lunar-eclipses-set-for-April-15-254812631.html)

“The second lunar eclipse of the tetrad is set for the early morning of Oct. 8, starting at 2:14 a.m., peaking from 3:25 to 4:24 a.m., and ending at 5:34 a.m. The West Coast is again in a good spot to see it, weather permitting. You just have to stay up later (or get up earlier.)

In 2015, the dates are April 4 and Sept. 28. For the April 4 one, the West Coast will get to see just about the whole show but the moon will set toward the very end. For Sept. 28, 2015, the moon will rise already eclipsed so we’ll get the second half of the show.

If “one look” can be broadened to heavenly phenomenon, then perhaps the asteroids over Austin dream might be a player. However, let’s do a sort of swirling around with the rest of these strange dreams to see if anything else pops out. Let’s return to the list of frequent words…

“Car” was just barely higher on the list than “house.” Are people going to be more on the move as we work toward the next “one look?” Then, check out the next two phrases in order: 1) “back off” and 2) “said go.” I feel a significant push-pull going on here. Is humanity having problems deciding whether to back off or push forward? This seems eerily coincidental to the buzz about the upcoming Grand Cardinal Cross alignment, expected to peak on the 23^rd and 24^th of April. Looky what I found elsewhere on the net (http://www.chronogram.com/hudsonvalley/this-is-it-the-cardinal-grand-cross-of-2014/Content?oid=2243443):

“Wednesday’s [23 April] cardinal grand cross (Uranus, Jupiter, Mars, and Pluto, all at right angles to each other from the signs Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn) is basically a lot of internal push and external pull working on you all at once.”

Okay…as above, so below. In the heavens, the energies are coming to a cross configuration, which display as a push-pull type of feel in many of us. What’s most interesting is that our collective dreams the past week or so have directly displayed this exact sentiment, as indicated by the linguistics table! Phenomenal or what?

What would be even better is if we could make some chronological projections, since the push-pull is already afoot and apparently affecting us dreamers already. What’s next on the list? How about we take the next 5 words and make it a phrase…”went next turn, iron down.”

The first part of the phrase to me signals that a turn is coming, but it seems rather expected, as if we’re driving down a winding road, with gentle turns back and forth. Humanity might be headed towards its next expected turn (oh, God, pleeeeaaaaase not another war!) Then, during or after the turn, IRON DOWN.

Hmmmm…that could mean many things. The first thing that comes to mind is that iron is a form of metal. Is the metal market heading for another big dip? Or is iron equated to something like the Iron Curtain? Interestingly, the Ukraine sits right in the middle of the old Iron Curtain…is that area going down? Hopefully “iron” isn’t a pun that really means “I run,” but that does fit it nicely with both the car on the move and the push-pull stalemate. I’m open to any other “iron down” meanings if anyone has more. Let’s move on…

Next on the list…“See refuge” and “over-come.” With all that dark negativity from above, these words bring positivity, a ray of sunshine. If you read The Refuge dream, you might just feel these sentiments as you read the words. On the one hand, everything seems dark and destructive, but on the other hand, something is guiding our dreamer to a quiet, serene refuge. Is this our lesson for the upcoming week (or possibly all the way to the next “one look” in October?) Despite all the negativity you might see everywhere, there’s a Divine Hand in all this helping navigate the uncharted, choppy waters of the Grand Cardinal Cross.

Lastly, let’s take a snippet from our first somewhat positive dream called Change Your Destiny. In this amazingly detailed dream account, our dreamer is given some options. In the latter part of the dream, he interestingly declines an offer for the iron fortune teller. The man who’s helping out in the dream speaks to the dreamer this statement:

“Then this must be your changed destiny. You might be able to find another new destiny, but you can never go back to the old one.”

I leave you with this, my friends…We won’t know exactly what the future holds until it gets here. Things will most likely feel contradictory, like you won’t know whether you’re supposed to get up and DO, or just sit back and BE. The pressure might feel very strong, and the outer reality might feel very grey, destructive, and bleak (see the Dystopian World dream if you haven’t already). The only known is that our destiny is changing, and there’s no going back! So, one thing you could do is just sit back and enjoy the ride. Feel the swirling energies. Observe and revel in the contradictory messages. And while you’re at it, might as well watch out for the “iron down.”

The only thing we really know is that it should be interesting….very interesting!

Loose Tightropes: A psi dream turned into a valuable reminder

Posted on April 18, 2014 by ndcadmin

Loose Tightropes

A precognitive dream that turned into one mighty enlightening lesson.

4/21/2014 12:29 AM

Summary of article: “In retrospect, the dream by itself (without the precognition) gives great meaning to my own life. However, when combined with what I saw in waking life, I’m left with a beautiful philosophical lesson that hopefully can be used by everyone.”

The Dream:

I was watching two rambunctious men literally hopping around on two tightropes. The two tightropes appeared to stretch from one skyscraper to the next, but there was a catch: the tightropes were extremely loose to the point they were bouncing! Neither man was apparently fearful of the looseness; in fact, they were actually trying to bounce higher and higher, apparently to show off to anyone watching.

The first man was bouncing on the top tightrope and had a weird contraption to keep his feet better positioned on the rope. After a few bounces, he then jumped down the second rope and began bouncing on that one. Then he jumped off, apparently free falling downward. He exited my view downward, because just as he jumped, I watched another man starting the same routine…he jumped onto the top rope and then jumped down to the bottom one…then jumped downward.

As the second man jumped off the bottom rope, there was a text caption on the right that pointed to a thin line just under the bottom rope. I can’t remember exactly what the text said, but it was there to warn me that the space below the jumpers was an illusion. A picture of skycrapers was pasted over a safety net to make it appear like they were extremely high in the air, when really, they were down very low and even had a safety net there to catch them! The caption warned me that what I was seeing was just an illusion.

What came true: The next morning, I was, of course, very perplexed about this dream, but I didn’t have much time to decipher it. Midday, I ended up on my Facebook page, quickly scanning for new material that people had submitted. I couldn’t believe what appeared; I read this…

“Being a skeptical dualist means walking a tightrope. Fall to the left and you acquiesce to superstitions. To the right lies the trap of sloppy reductionism.” a quote by Jaron Lanier

https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10151971064007331&set=gm.10152394640307433&type=1

DISCUSSION and SYMBOLOGY:

In retrospect, the dream by itself (without the precognition) gives great meaning to my own life. However, when combined with what I saw in waking life, I’m left with a beautiful philosophical lesson that hopefully can be used by everyone.

First off, the dream had two tightropes, which I believe represent the two sides that Lanier talks about in the quote above. Since the tightropes in my dream were more above/below than left/right (in relation to each other), this confirms my true beliefs about those two sides…basically, I’m not too torn between either of these dualistic categories. However, I have spent much life energy contemplating and even living both sides. Eventually, I’ve come to transcend both of them on my way to a more all-inclusive worldview.

If each of my dream’s tightropes equated to Lanier’s two main worldviews, then the dream analogy of being very loose is quite apropos to both of them. First off, being loose is rather contradictory to the name, “tightrope.” We think our worldview is very tight, steady, and reliable, but meanwhile it’s completely loose and dangerous. In our culture, we cling to our tightropes, making the erroneous assumption that they somehow keep us safe. Sometimes, we even take up certain defense mechanisms to keep us more firmly planted on our tightropes. This would equate to my dream characters’ shoe contraptions. We can either take off the defense mechanisms, or, as the men did in the dream, keep them on and use them to actually enjoy both sides even better! This does require us to actually recognize our defense mechanisms, though…a sometimes very difficult task.

Another analogy: The looser any tightrope is the more danger exists for anyone trying to cross it. But the men in my dream not only weren’t frightened by the ropes’ looseness; rather, they appeared to enjoy it! Again, recognizing our habitual clinging to worldviews can be very refreshing, but it doesn’t mean we have to leave them all together. Jump on those ropes and live each side with gusto! Realize just how dangerLESS it is to have fun on each tightrope…it’s all an illusion anyway! The men in the dream knew that there was a safety net to catch them…let us do the same.

CONCLUSION:

Our life is very dualistic. People struggle with and feel extremely vulnerable on either one of life’s tightropes (wither it’s the left or the right). The reason why they do so is simple…because both sides have their flaws; both are equally dangerous. Both sides must be incorporated before we can see the safety net. Finally, have fun on each side, just as the men in the dream. Instead of taking each side seriously, jump around on them, experience them, feel life fully. Always know that falling off the tightrope isn’t the end of the world, for there is always a Safety Net waiting to catch you.

Creating-Predicting: The New Paradigm Beckons

Posted on April 18, 2014 by ndcadmin

Welcome to another installment of DreamOsophy, where dreams intermingle with philosophy, but action is the outcome instead of circular patterns of random, useless, fuzzy words. In this post, we’ll cover whether precognitive dreams create reality or merely predict it.

Chris McCleary, 4/17/2014

Predict or Create? That is the question. Do precognitive dreams actually predict the future, or do we simply create our waking life based on the dream?

Camp #1: The Dream Creationists. Some theorists argue that precognition is nothing more than the dreamer simply creating their waking reality in accordance with what they dreamed earlier. Of course, it’s all done subconsciously, which means that they’re not doing this purposefully.

It’s true that much of our dream life is all about the subconscious sphere of mind. The ‘day residue’ from events that happened to us in waking life typically do take a prominent roll in the creation of our dreams. This explains much of those wacky characters or illogical situations that arise so frequently. The same theorists purport that dreams can be a clearing house for these ‘undigested’ thoughts and emotions from our topsy-turvey waking life.

So, if the dream itself is a digestion channel for day residue, then can there really be enough psychological material left from the digestion to still cause a subconscious creation of that dream in our waking life? Good grief, you’re asking, who cares?! Well, unfortunately, this is actually an important point because it reduces its strength when seen from Camp #2 eyes. In other words, if precognitive dreams are nothing more than the subconscious re-creation of reality from a dream, then where does the dream material come from? Chirp, chirp….anyone? Anyone still here? Anyone?

Camp #2: The Precognitive Dreamers. There are some precognitive dream accounts that simply defy the Camp #1 explanation. My wife somehow dreamed that we would be hit by a drunk driver the day before it happened…and since the drunk veered over into our lane to impact our trailer, how in the world did my very-positively-thinking wife create that? The answer is very simple: the dreamer did not create this reality.

Certainly not all seemingly precognitive dreams are like this, though, and we don’t fault everyone for ignoring Camp #2. Skeptics exist simply because they have not experienced precognition for themselves, or their worldview is forcing them to ignore what they’ve experienced.

What’s the utility of all this? Bottom line, we need to see predictive dreams from BOTH camps. On the one hand, they do influence how we create our lives, but on the other hand, they sometimes solely predict things to come (with no creative pull whatsoever). But instead of battling for which one is dominant, I propose that we combine the two poles together, much like the Law of One material. Instead of creating versus predicting, how about we call it creating-predicting (as if it were always a single noun, verb, or adjective)?

So, what is our collective dream creating-predicting? Well, two things are at play. First, the part that we can control is the creating part. As Leslie Beil says: “Each of us, individually and collectively, are responsible for our thoughts, words, and actions as these are energy which creates reality at any given moment.”

This is absolutely and critically true, but on the other hand, there’s a bigger Universe out there that sometimes is beyond creating, beyond control, and the best we’re given is a prediction of what is to come (in terms of precognitive dreams).

The Solution. The good news in all of this is that for utilitarian folk, it really doesn’t matter which camp the precognitive dream comes from…the National Dream Center is working to figure out how to make these types of dreams more useful to us. So this is our starting point and our initial solution:

First, you do what Leslie says above. Take responsibility for your thoughts and behaviors and channel all your energy toward what is best for the future. Your dreams should reflect this for the most part, but when it doesn’t, take heed and begin to synch up with the Universe. What created-predicted the seemingly out-of-synch dream? Was it your thoughts, actions, and energy, or was it something beyond your individual sphere of control? Then by all means bring your dream to a supportive network, like that of the National Dream Center. This is the place to bring those larger dreams that might seem overwhelming. We will deal with these collectively.

If you have ANY precognitive dream, please log it in our database…

Posted on April 17, 2014 by ndcadmin

Recently we received a suggestion to allow smaller-level precognitive dreams in the DreamBase, so we added a category called “Documented Cases.” If anyone you know has a dream that later comes true (either petty events or earth-shattering), then send them to our database. We encourage small dreams and big dreams alike, but this category is all about dreams that already came true.

When you document your predictive dream in this category, be sure to explain the part that came true. Some events happen exactly the way it played out in the dream, but others are merely metaphoric. Please explain this in detail.

George’s recent dream would be a prime example for this category. Although some of the elements in his dream played out identically, much of the overall storyline was allegorical (but at the same time unmistakably precognitive). If you haven’t yet perused the DreamBase to find his latest predictive head-turner, I’ve pasted the text here:

The Case of the Cruise Ship/Ferry Dream
Wednesday, April 16, 2014 4:49 AM
I have never before started a Peoplenomics report with something from the World of Woo-Woo (WoWW). Our normal fare around here is a tight focus on making money and out-thinking the markets. But this morning’s case is too interesting to pass up. It’s another example of prescient dreaming. People really do have dreams about events just before and while they are happening. When the alarm went off at 4 AM I was having a most curious dream: Elaine and I were on a cruise ship/ferry boat that was trying to leave port. I say cruise ship/ferry because there distinctly were cars on the lower deck, but it was also barricades so that waves couldn’t get it. There was also something of an open deck due to loading of supplies of some kind up near the bow. As the dream progressed, my wife Elaine and I were wandering around the inside of the ship and we became separated while she went to the ladies room. Eventually, with the ship still not under way, we worked our way aft to where passengers were supposed to check-in… about 2/3’rds of the way back. I remember wanting to go ashore to get our bags which were in the car nearby, but the setting was unfamiliar and I wasn’t sure were the car was. And the dock looked like nothing I had seen before: The ship had been backed into its slip and just landward of the stern there was a large steel or metal beam of some kind…like supports for a walkway. Also, I remember being very frustrated by the whole situation and then awoke; ticked off at Elaine for this whole boat-boarding fiasco…. —- As I got up, I told Elaine about the story..and how she had delayed us from our departure with all of our luggage and I was angry about it. We should have stayed in port and gone on a different cruise. But she had bumped into friends of the ship including (oddly) a suave Frenchman and his wife/girlfriend, though she seemed to be from the US. It was all very odd, and I didn’t think anything about it. The rest of my morning routine, as always, was plug & play. I used the bathroom, took the vitamins and a big glass of water, poured half a cup of coffee and wandered into the living room where a big screen is driven by a media server and clicked up Google headlines. The lead item stopped me in my tracks: “Hundreds missing after ferry stinks off South Korea’s coast…” And when you click over to the link, pay particularly close attention to the lines of the ship. Yes, it’s a ferry but it also certainly has the side profile of a cruise ship. —- Oddly, I wasn’t particularly “struck” by this whole sequence; it has been slowly increasing over the past 5-years or so for no particular reason. But I popped open the door to our bedroom and told Elaine (who was still awake) about the head and the appearance of the ship. “That’s just plain WEIRD,” she exclaimed. There we left it, except to note that there may be some calendar effects to prescient dreaming. Remember, a few years back, my dream about the Gulf of Mexico disaster came in this timeframe… That dream happened on the 19th of April, ahead of the actually April 20th rig accident. Go look at the pictures of the Costa Concordia capsizing and compare the picture (slow loading, sorry) on this page with this morning’s pictures of the South Korean ferry. Definitely more than a passing resemblance… —- In the case of the Deep Water Horizon dream (2006) my dream took place a few days after the full moon. Dream on the 19th following the full moon on the 13th. More recently, my dream (several hours in advance) of the road closure on our March gambling expedition to Arizona, happened the morning of March 12 – four days ahead of the full moon. The full moon this month was on the 15th, so one day after with today’s dream. My personal research has demonstrated – beyond any calculable odds – that there is something “non-local” about human consciousness. It’s a symbolic connection and it seems to be spontaneous and perhaps tied in to the calendar though only very approximately.

We know what you’re thinking: Scientists find a way to read minds

Scientists have used brain scanners to detect and reconstruct the faces that people are thinking of, a scientific achievement that could someday lead to a dream-recorder.Alan Cowen

Think mind reading is science fiction?

Think again.

Scientists have used brain scanners to detect and reconstruct the faces that people are thinking of, according to a a study accepted for publication this month in the journal NeuroImage.

In the study, scientists hooked participants up to an fMRI brain scanner – which determines activity in different parts of the brain by measuring blood flow – and showed them images of faces. Then, using only the brain scans, the scientists were able to create images of the faces the people were looking at.

“It is mind reading,” said Alan S. Cowen, a graduate student at the University of California Berkeley who co-authored the study with professor Marvin M. Chun from Yale and Brice A. Kuhl from New York University.

Dream Telepathy: New Data

Posted on April 17, 2014 by ndcadmin

More fodder for those trying to convince a skeptic. Here is a new dream study that suggests a very high chance that telepathy is real. Surprised?

Dream Telepathy: New Data

Dreams as powerful signal detection devices

Published on April 15, 2014 by Patrick McNamara, Ph.D. in Dream Catcher

In a recent paper (Smith, (2013) Can healthy, young adults uncover personal details of unknown target individuals in their dreams? Explore 2013; 9:17-25) Carlyle Smith, the distinguished cognitive scientist and Lifetime Professor Emeritus, Department of Psychology, Trent University, in Canada presented data that seemed to suggest that people can intentionally dream details about the personal problems of an unknown individual simply by examining a picture of the target and then “incubating” or planning to dream about that individual’s problems.

It is no understatement to say that Smith is a very careful and rigorist experimentalist. He was and is a driving force in the revolutionary transformation in our understanding of how sleep can facilitate memory consolidation. The design of these experiments on dream “telepathy” were similarly well designed and so need to be taken seriously.

I know some lucid dreamers who won’t agree with this poster. But then again, they might actually agree with the opposite meaning! There’s not a whole lot of choice when in a subconscious trance state in waking life, but there are a LOT more choice in dreams after you become lucid! Double meanings abound…

August predictions already?!

Posted on April 17, 2014 by ndcadmin

Enthusiasm for Project August! Let me begin this post by recognizing the excitement in the air about this project. I’m basing this off several different measures; however, the discussion that follows is certainly atop the list. You see, even though Project August doesn’t officially begin until May 1^st, I’ve already received one email from an anonymous dreamer who began the procedures last night!

Before I discuss this August dream, let me point out something very important. Normally, only the dreamer can determine with any certainty what their dream actually means. However, Project August is quite a bit different in that individual dream interpretation is not exactly what we’re looking for. For the top level predictions, we’ll be focused on the items that don’t need interpretation. For example, if a dreamer dreams about a bridge collapsing, we’ll first take that at face value and not try to determine what that event could mean to the dreamer. The concept here is that in my experience, the biggest precognitively-dreamed events normally play out in real life very closely to how they were portrayed in the dream (of course there are exceptions).

However, knowing that each dream holds multiple meanings, we’ll also consider metaphoric associations, particularly when matching several dreams together into a separate set of memes. Okay, enough mumbo jumbo for now; let’s get to the exciting dream…

The dreamer sent more than this, but I thought this second paragraph would be best to discuss:

“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 towrds [sic] 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.”

Thank you, dreamer, for sending this in! You did a great job. As I dissect this dream, please don’t take anything personally. To make Project August work smoothly, we’re going to need certain things that are probably not normally required. What follows is less a critique and more just some important questions about this particular posting. Don’t stop dreaming, you did great!

The first thing that pops right out is the description of the swirling clouds and the discussion of whether a tornado is present. We first would take the highest probability factor and apply it to the most straightforward symbol…in this case the tornado/cloud/swirl. Regardless of what we want to call it, it appears to be ominous and very destructive. So, on the surface at least, we might be willing to predict a tornado to hit…..uh oh….where did this dream take place?

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.

Therefore, while I SO appreciate this early dream, the dreamer should probably have included the location of where this dream occurred. For this particular dream account, it appears that it occurred at the dreamer’s home of residence, or near the father’s house. So, where is that house?

If project participants don’t want to include exact locations, then provide at least a general region (e.g., northeast Texas or middle of NY state), so we can at least have a place to throw our prediction darts. If participants don’t have a location, then at least throw out some descriptors like “Huge mountains to the North” or we’re on the Atlantic coastline,” etc.

By the way, many people might be wondering about the other details in the dream. We can certainly glean even more from this dream account, but those smaller details are expected to be mainly compared with the collective dream set (or a sub-categorized set of dreams), as I’ll inevitably discuss in later posts.

Bottom line, this was excellent practice from our first participant! Let’s give him or her a standing ovation!! Thank you, dreamer. Lastly, if enough registrants want to begin now, I guess there’s really no reason to wait…just provide comments below or contact me separately…if enough people want to begin early, then I’ll set up the category in the DreamBase. Exciting times; we’re off to a G-R-E-A-T start!

Disclaimer: Project August is not a scientific study. Any projections into future predictions should always be considered merely speculation, especially when matched with dates and locations. Readers assume full responsibility for their actions based on any information provided in or referred to from the content above. While precognitive dreaming is a real phenomenon, readers and dreamers alike are cautioned to use a high level of discernment when reading anything related to predictive dreams, including Project August. Any material and content that discusses Project August should be considered ‘for entertainment only.’

What the heck kind of dream is this?

Posted on April 16, 2014 by ndcadmin

This dream was real, but it was dreamed a long, long time ago. It was so vivid and real that I’ve never forgotten it and I told it to several perplexed people over the years, still with no solid explanation. I’ve been through 2 master-level dream courses, but nothing like this was ever taught. Was it precognitive, telepathic, ESP, or what?

I was 8 years old, taking a cat-nap on the floor just in front of the fire place. It was about 5:00 in the evening, I had been asleep for over an hour. In that house the family room and kitchen were separated by a big white wall. Toward the end of my nap, I began dreaming very vividly…

I dreamed that I was standing in the kitchen about 10 feet away from the refrigerator when my mom was reaching for the refrigerator door. Somehow in the dream, I knew that there was going to be a calamity when she opened that door, and I began surging toward her saying, “NO!” But it was too late…just as she cracked open the door, all the contents of the fridge came pouring out onto the………

(This woke me up): “BAM!!” followed by a shriek and profanity. A VERY loud noise had just awoken me from my dream. It took me a couple of seconds to come out of my sleep state…”where am I; what am I doing on the floor?” Wait, that noise came from the kitchen! There’s no way, I’ve got to go see what happened….

I walked into the kitchen (remember, I’m awake), and I could not believe what I saw. Just about all the contents of the refrigerator had fallen and splattered all over the floor. My mom stated that when she opened the refrigerator door, one of the top shelves had given way. All the milk and juice came falling out and taking most of the food in the door shelf with it. There were eggs and milk everywhere. I saw broken jars of jelly and God-knows what else all over the floor!

Theory. I can pretty much rule out a precognitive dream because the dream and real life were happening simultaneously. Just as the contents were crashing to the ground in my dream, I was awoken by the loud banging in the kitchen. The exact event was playing out identically in real life and my dream. I did actually see the contents at a later time, which does indicate some amount of precognition, but precognition does not explain seeing the falling objects in my dream and hearing the kitchen noise at the exact same time.

This is why I think telepathy is somehow at play. I might have been tuned into my mom’s brainwaves and perceptions, which allowed me to see what was going on in real-time behind my closed eyelids. The other possibility was that I was experiencing an out-of-body moment during my sleep, and I just happened to maintain a strong link between astral body and physical mind. This would explain why my mom was ignoring me (not hearing me) as I was yelling in the dream.

The only thing I really know about this event was that it defied the scientific view of our 3D world. For the rest of my life, I had no problems questioning what others considered “common sense.” I’d be very interested to hear about other similar experiences and/or possible explanations about what really went on behind the scenes. Obviously, I’m not looking for the coincidence explanation, as I have personally seen enough weird situations like this to throw that out. Comments welcome and appreciated.

Important Video on Precognitive Dreams

Posted on April 15, 2014 by ndcadmin

I was pleasantly surprised with the information and explanation of precognitive dreams in the following video. This YouTube video will be the first of hopefully many posts about what I call “DreamOsophy,” which is nothing more than the philosophy of dreaming.

This video was expertly assembled and uploaded by Lisa Sinervo of weirddreams.org

Help! My dreams are coming true! (Part 2)

This is part 2 of handling predictive dreams of a more negative or frightening tone. If you haven’t done so, I highly recommend reading the first part before reading this. Recall that we had two parts to our exploration of the predictive dream:

A growing number of people are becoming alarmed, even horrified sometimes, when they see their dream experiences play out in ordinary life. This article hopefully alleviates some of the stress associated with the more negative-type dream predictions and provides some grounded recommendations for dreamers

Conscious Re-Creating

Posted on April 9, 2014 by ndcadmin

Most readers have heard the term “conscious creating” or “conscious co-creating,” but what about a new cousin to these terms, called “conscious RE-creating?”

Did your dream really foretell the future, or did you simply create what you saw in your dream? Could it be that every predictive dream is merely us subconsciously recreating what we saw in our earlier nighttime

DreamSpeak: Vocabulary for Future-Oriented Dreaming

Posted on April 8, 2014 by ndcadmin

Wanna know how to DreamSpeak? This article only covers future-oriented dream topics, which is what the National Dream Center focuses on primarily (for now). Okay, let’s get to it…

Many of the words are synonymous and can be used interchangeably in just about every context. However, some of the more commonly used terms do need to be honored for their

Hello, Dreamers!

Posted on April 7, 2014 by ndcadmin

What a dream…could someone please pinch me! Did I really just become owner of a popular dream website, created by none other than George Ure? Well, until I get evidence otherwise, I’ll treat this as real waking life (although I’m still not totally convinced). I guess I’ll start today with a brief introduction of myself and then in later installments, I’ll detail what I see as the future of the National Dream Center.

Who would’ve thought?

Nope, I never received any precognitive dream showing me scrambling to learn mySql and html coding. Furthermore, could there be anyone on Earth more UNlikely to eventually stumble upon dreamwork or better yet even, precognitive dreams? Hmmm, where do we begin? Maybe in the skies of Kosovo, Afghanistan, and Iraq… indeed, the first half of my life was spent flying Air Force fighters (F-15E’s mostly). (note the presence of hair in the following picture)…

After that decade grinded on, I became war weary, not understanding the purpose of all the fighting. Helped by George Ure’s Urbansurvival, I began learning that the economy and the wars were/are inextricably linked (no wars, no economy is a very reductionistic way to describe it, but unfortunately that is not too far from reality). With my MBA and dabblings in high finance, I laughingly thought I knew how the world worked. I would need a severe financial collapse (i.e., fall 2008, which was poinpointed to the day by Cliff High’s linguistic prophecies). That finally was enough to open my eyes about how the world really worked. And thus the transformation began…

The Transformation begins…

My transformation began in earnest as soon as I walked away from military life. We ended up in the middle of a mountain range, living almost on wild weeds and whatever our amateur garden would produce for us (and what the bugs, rabbits, deer, and everything else just happened to spare us). I didn’t consider myself a dreamer because I hadn’t remembered a dream in over two decades. So, with a background like that, you may be wondering where dreams fit into this story.

Being away from a stressed-filled lifestyle awakened the dreamer within me. While I didn’t necessarily consider myself a prodigy dreamer or anything, I did experience a couple of, well, let’s just call them telepathic dreams (for a lack of any better word). It was enough to spawn an investigation into paranormal dreams and later a brief tour through lucid dreaming (stopped after about 6 weeks due to severe sleep deprivation!)

A more useful degree (than the MBA)…

Along came Atlantic University and a Master of Art in Transpersonal Studies, where I not only learned how to remember dreams reliably, but also to actually use them constructively. In my last semester at AU, I had the privilege of being a student in Dr. Robert Van de Castle’s last class before he passed away in Jan 2014. I am forever grateful to him, and his surviving partner, Bobbie Ann. The class was entitled, Becoming a Teacher in Dreamwork.

I’m not the dreaming prodigy, but I do know one!

But dream education is not the end-all-be-all, now is it? In future installments, I plan to discuss some of my strange childhood experiences, where one dream in particular was neither a precognitive dream nor a telepathic dream, but a combination of both. But no matter what qualifications or skills I claim to possess, it will always pale in comparison to my wife’s incredibly accurate and stunningly prophetic dreams. We’ll explore these as well, and hopefully get her to share some of her amazing experiences with the world. Sometimes her dreams predict menial items, like what restaurant will be closed, or what item will be on sale in two days, but other times, she gets wind of a nuclear disaster or a drunk driver collision. We’ll look at these in closer detail in the coming future.

Thank you and happy dreaming!
