Distant Dreaming: How Dreams Tell Your Future

Have you experienced something that you think you've already seen in one of your dreams before? If the answer is yes, you are not alone. Various people all over the world have also experienced this. Most of them firmly believe that their dreams have predicted their future.

These kinds of dreams are collectively known as precognitive dreams. They have helped many people get a glimpse of their future, enabling them to prepare for great opportunities and scary dangers. Precognitive dreams have been working hand-in-hand with astrology horoscopes and astrology birth charts to show people's future to help them choose the best paths in their lives.

But while precognitive dreams have been a big help in this area, how do these dreams exactly show or reveal the future events in people's lives? There are plenty of ways. Here are the most significant ones that you should be aware of:

Subconscious Mind

Your subconscious mind is far deeper and more powerful than your conscious mind. Think of your conscious mind as the tip of an iceberg. Your subconscious mind, on the other hand, is the rest of it. This comparison will give you a clear idea of how massive your subconscious mind is.

Even with the subconscious mind's immense influence, we're not even aware that it directs our everyday thoughts and decisions. More surprisingly, it has a significant impact on our dreams!

Our subconscious minds contain a lot of essential things of which we're not aware. We could only be conscious of these things when we are in a Theta Brainwave State, which happens when we dream.

One of your dream's significant roles is to seek the most important things in your subconscious (which you are unaware of) and reveal them to you in different ways. Your role is to remember, meditate, and take action on these revelations because, without your cooperation, these dreams would be worthless.

The Deeper State of Delta

Now that you have an idea of what a Theta Brainwave State is, it is also essential to know that you also can reach a state more profound than it, which is called the Delta State.

According to Carl Jung, a psychologist and psychiatrist who founded Analytic Psychology, our mind has a passive nature, giving it a natural ability to absorb things continuously. It can also 'pick up' or access what Jung calls the Collective Conscious. Jung explains it as the collective energy coming from various people, places, and even present and future events. This collective energy is one of your dream's sources of showing future events relevant to you or your loved one's life.

Visions

Most of the time, precognitive dreams send their messages in symbolic ways. These dreams rarely 'spoon-feed' their important messages to their recipients. Vision is one of the common ways dreams use to show situations about to be witnessed by a person.

One of the big names in history that openly admitted that precognitive dreams had impacted their lives is Albert Einstein. According to him, he was able to formulate his Theory of Relativity because of a fascinating vision.

In his dream, he saw himself seemingly falling on a mountain at a very high speed (which he describes as near light-speed) and saw that the stars in the night sky are constantly changing their appearance. At first, he dismissed this dream as meaningless and ridiculous. But upon meditating on it, he realized that it was telling a big discovery on him, which led him to formulate the highly-respected Theory of Relativity.

One other example comes from President Abraham Lincoln, who saw his corpse in a dream lying in the East Room part of the White House. Two weeks later, he was assassinated, and his casket was placed and guarded on the exact place where he saw his corpse: in the East Room. His vision was recorded and preserved in history because he immediately told his wife and few trusted friends upon dreaming about this vision. He knew that something tragic would happen to him soon.

Voices

Precognitive dreams also use voices when revealing upcoming situations in your lives. That is why it's imperative to place a notebook and a pen beside your bed to immediately record these voices' messages in your dream.

Since these voices are usually cryptic and sound fuzzy at times, a quick scribble when you wake up can help you preserve whatever they said. The simple act of taking down notes would be a big help in meditating on these voices' hidden messages.

Emotions

Some dreams are easy to ignore. They seem like they don't make any sense. One of the best ways to know if a particular dream is significant and deserves our full attention is to feel the emotions that come with it.

Since you can also feel emotions in the realm of dreams, our precognitive dreams use our varying emotions as tools to make us realize that every detail that is passing through our eyes in our dream is essential. It doesn't matter if the emotions we feel in a dream are extreme happiness, sadness, fright, or anger. What we should focus on are the intense emotions that we feel in that experience.

Conclusion

Seeing the near future or far beyond it are capabilities that are indeed outside our natural limits. But since these things can make a significant impact on our lives and anticipate future events, whether it's an opportunity or a danger, our precognitive dreams help us access these. But this is not a one-person show. It needs our full cooperation to unlock its hidden messages as we make conscious efforts to prepare for future events it has revealed.
