Is dreaming of the future actually dreaming of the future or perhaps dreaming of what the future that you want?

It's a bit of both, dreaming of new ideas for the future can help develop them. However there are too many unpredictable changes that people don't take into account.Originally posted by Turtle

You guys are missing his question. He's asking if when we dream about the future (when asleep) if those dreams are/can be real and accurate accounts of future events. Answer No
According to the laws of physics, time flows forward. You can change the speed at which it flows, but you can't stop it or jump around in it.Originally posted by Turtle
Why?
Sorry, no. Again, if it were possible, Vegas would need to close and the lottery wouldn't be any fun anymore.Originally posted by tomahawk
Hey Guys I hate to disagree with you, but it is possable to dream of the future. I've seen it too many times. These dreams are very detailed sometimes, enough to know that it can't be a guessing game for the mind.

No, its nothing like that at all. Flight at the time was well known to be an engineering problem and was clearly possible from a scientific/theoretical standpoint. After all, birds were doing it.Originally posted by hypnagogue
This is a bit like someone back in the day telling the Wright Brothers "if flight were possible, we'd be on the moon by now."
If you have a better idea what it is Iam seeing please let me know.
Actually, you CAN control your dreams. Its not easy, but one way psychologists help people deal with nightmares is to learn to control them.Originally posted by tomahawk
Alright Russ you've made your point. I'll make mine. As I said you really don't have controll over what you see in those dreams it may be anything.
I don't know. I will say that contradicts how dreams normally work in the sense that dreams occur in your short-short term memory and fade very quickly after waking. Are you writing these down as soon as you wake up (that's also something psychologists recommend)?If you have a better idea what it is Iam seeing please let me know.
So far, all testing has shown that the unconscious mind can't beat the laws of physics.It would be very interesting to find out how the unconcess mind can go against all the law of physics we how dear.

Psychic powers ARE scientifically testable and every time they are tested (which actually isn't very often because scientists simply don't bother and psychics try to avoid it) they fail.
Nope.Originally posted by hypnagogue
This is a good argument for why my analogy was not exactly like the development of flight, yes. But I think your arguments are still a bit like my analogy.
Nope.The scientific community has never come to a consensus on the existence of psychic phenomenon.
Nope.Whatever positive results are had are swept under the rug and explained away as being due to such-and-such explanation that fits neatly in the established scientific paradigm.
Nope.it is a myth that scientific inquiries into psychic phenomena always 'fail.'
Yep.Anyways, let's just accept for the moment that there is no compelling evidence for psychic phenomena.
You wouldn't need to understand WHY to see it happening. Heck, didn't you say that earlier in this thread? You dream about stressful things because you have a stressful job. Wouldn't someone with a bad monetary situation dream about winning the lottery all the time (actually, they do).But if psi does exist, and yet we have no scientific understanding of it, how could we expect it to be refined to any appreciable degree, much less to the point where someone could win the lottery at will?
Deja Vu is when you THINK you've seen something before. It doesn't require that you HAVE actually seen it before. However, since you see the same type of thing all the time in dreams and in waking life, you likely have seen it all before, at leaste vaguely.The first one I mentioned I found out about it minutes after it happened. There's no way I could of read about it somewhere.

I would be happy to read and comment on whatever you can provide. One note however: I am a real stickler for credibility in my sources.Originally posted by hypnagogue
But there are serious, scientific studies conducted on this, and sometimes there are positive results.
Ask Ivan what I think of the 'anything is possible' view - when something seems "terribly unlikely" it does more harm than good to recognize that the possibility exists. Sorry, until there is some credible evidence (like I said, I'll gladly read some) I (and most scientists) will not consider the possibility.I am not trying to get anyone to believe in psi, only to recognize the possibility-- a possibility that certainly has not been ruled out altogether, however terribly unlikely it might seem from our current vantage point.
If you've looked at it scientifically, then you have all you need to publish a scientific paper on it. Do it. Or at least send it to a psychology prof at a university (find a few through google) and ask them to evaluate it. I suspect you will find they say it is not up scientifically acceptable research standards.Originally posted by tomahawk
Russ: I understand your point from a scienctist view. There's no proof only people's word that it does exist. Oh darn that sounds like religion. All I can say is that it does exist. I've looked at it from every sciencetific standard I can think of. There's something there, we just don't have a grasp for it, not yet anyway.
Imagining possibilities for the future allows us to think critically and creatively about potential outcomes, and helps us to plan and prepare for different scenarios. It also inspires innovation and progress, as we strive towards a better future.
By envisioning a better future, we can identify areas for improvement and work towards creating positive change. Our dreams can serve as motivation and a guide for taking action towards a better world.
Technology has a significant impact on our dreams of the future, as it can both limit and expand our possibilities. It can also shape our expectations and desires for the future, as we envision how technology may improve our lives.
To ensure inclusivity and equity in our dreams of the future, we must actively consider the perspectives and needs of diverse individuals and communities. This requires open-mindedness, empathy, and a willingness to challenge our own biases and assumptions.
Our dreams of the future can serve as a guide for our present actions, as we work towards making our visions a reality. They can also inspire us to think long-term and consider the potential consequences of our actions in the present.
