Post No. 136 - Premonitions and precognitive dreams

We recently watched the film "Premonitions", starring Sandra Bullock and (Australian) Julian McMahon. The film itself was interesting, but the documentary on the DVD about premonition was particularly good (well, for me, at any rate :) ), and has inspired me to follow up from a past post on the topic of precognitive dreams.

Now, as I mentioned in my earlier post, I have precognitive dreams (well, more a case of used to, actually - I haven't had any for a while [that I know of]). After "9/11", I, along with many others, wandered about whether or not it was possible to do something about these dreams. I even joined a Yahoo group which had been founded (I feel like writing "allegedly", but that would be uncharitable, unreasonable and probably wrong) to try and share information and get some value out of the dreams so many seem to have had. The problem, unfortunately, was that the group had degenerated (my view/assessment/word) into a conventional "dream interpretation" group.

Now, there's nothing wrong with dream interpretation - UNLESS you are trying to assess dreams for precognition ...

IF a group is to be both founded AND effective in terms of using dreams for precognition, in my opinion it's focus MUST be solely, rigidly and determinedly on precognition - NOT dream interpretation.

The other problem to be addressed here is one of unreasonable expectations of accuracy.

We aren't all Allison DuBois - but we don't NEED to be.

There is a project, called the Global Consciousness (EGG) Project, which is looking for effects from world events on random number generators. In effect, these are predicting that global consciousness can have a measurable effect on something. Well, I consider something similar to that applies also to dreams.

Let's say there is a baseline of 1,500 dreams per week about jet plane crashes in a particular country - actually, no, let's say that the baseline is that around 12% of those signed up to this project in a particular country have dreams about jet plane crashes (in a typical week - i.e., no reports about plane crashes, no movies about plane crashes, etc - nothing out of the ordinary).

If that suddenly jumps to, say, 60%, then something may be about to happen, and the influence of that something may be manifesting as increased dreams about plane crashes. It may not be a plane crash that is causing this increased number of dreams, but experience over time would possibly give an indication of how events play out in the dreams of populations.

Perhaps it may be that a corresponding increase in the occurrence of dreams about plane crashes in another country would suggest that the crash (if that is what is going to occur) is of a flight between the two countries.

Of course, some of those in the group may have better accuracy than most, so you may wind up assigning rankings to some people, so, say person X has a dream about plane crashes, that is worth twice as much (statistically speaking) as person Y.

Getting something like this set up would take a good website (i.e., one compatible with non-Windows systems and features such as "No Scripts", one that is SECURE and well-managed, etc), and people with the time to make it happen. Those people who are prepared to contribute their dreams would have to be patient, and prepared to accept that they may not receive any results for some time, so as to avoid the risk of their dreams being biased.

It is hard to see that happening, unfortunately ... maybe in a few decades.

Of course, this may all also be about good events, as well as bad :)

Love, light, hugs and blessings
