edit: maybe it had something to do with the race/athletics talk.  :o

Kind of a stretch, lol.

I wrote a paper on "Precognitive Dreams" for my english class last year and the main scientific explanation for dream premonitions is the law of large numbers: Collectively human beings have so many dreams that there's bound to be occasional coincidental overlap between our dreams and real life. We forget most of our dreams, but a cue later in the day can cause us to remember one of our dreams if the cue was in the dream as well. This makes it seem like we have more "dream premonitions" than we actually do.

There have been some interesting case studies where people claim to have many dream premonitions in a short time period, which would refute the law of large numbers, but because of unreliability of study authors we can't draw conclusions.

nice. i've had quite a few of these over the years. when it happens, it can be a mindblowing experience.

cliche as it is in such a discussion, inception was such an amazing movie.

Call me a delusional schizo, but I believe there's something more to dreams than what we can explain with science.

well, if there is more to dreams than we can explain with science, I think that would just be our small understanding of science. I personally don't believe in anything that can't be explained scientifically.

At least our current level of science.

how does the saying go? if you don't understand or are ignorant of some phenomenon, that's a statement about you, not the phenomenon.

Or how Neil deGrasse Tyson stated: "The good thing about science is that it is true whether you believe in it or not."  :lololol:

I think he said that again on Bill Maher last Friday, love it. ;f



Had a dream last night... tough game between GSW / CLE. Curry hits the game winner. Final score 75-74 GSW.

If that happens, anoint me the king. Can't see it happening though... score is too low.

There are plenty of unexplained phenomenons out there. Like most pseudoscience, where a bunch of the claims are really difficult to prove for one reason or another. Stuff like acupuncture, which incidentally i also did a research paper on. No way in hell is any of that meridian/qi stuff supported by science but the biggest review of research showed that actual acupuncture showed a considerably greater effect than placebo fake acupuncture.

I researched the topic of dream precognition and didn't find an explanation I thought was sufficient. I don't think it's a stretch to say that we are not advanced enough scientifically to truly understand dreaming.

Last night:

Had moved recently to Pakistan and was in a large meeting in a conference facility of some kind (round tables with cheap tablecloths, stage with a lectern at one end, that kind of thing). The room was on the ground floor and had floor-to-ceiling windows with big translucent curtains covering them. I looked over and saw a shadow against one of the curtains and had a sense of foreboding. Then there were gunshots and everyone freaked out and started running.

Some indeterminate time later I was back in the States with my family, talking to my brother. And I had no recollection, in the dream, of what had happened between the time the shooting started and that moment days later. My brother was asking me how I got out but I could not remember. Obviously I must have run to a safe place and waited, then gotten on a plane and flown home, but those memories and memories for several subsequent days were gone. As we talked I got snatches -- taking pictures outside in the sunshine with my brother's girlfriend and our other brother the day before our conversation, for example, and of a bathroom in the hotel, of the toilet seat -- but that was it.

So today I had a dream where I exited a store, got in my car and I was driving out of the shopping plaza, two cars were on both sides of me and for some reason I accelerated hard into a curb. The car flipped over, and started flying in the air. I was thinking of last words to think in my dream when I realized that the car kept on flying, continually spinning. I opened the door while the car was flying and got out, I kept flying and spinning independently of the car. Then I woke up.

I told my dad about this dream over breakfast (just because the feeling of spinning in the air in my dream was so peculiar) and then forgot about it.

Fast forward 10 hours, my mom asks for a ride to the store. I'm lacing up my shoes about to go and then my dad comes up and says to drive safely. I'm like "what are you talking about" and then I remember the dream. And then I realize: The plaza in the dream looked exactly like the one where my mom needed to go to the store. And the store that I was visiting in my dream was in the same location of the plaza as the store my mom wanted to visit in real life. This is one of 2 plazas where I can see a resemblance to the plaza in my dream.

So I decided not to drive and my dad drove my mom instead.

Also, and excerpt from my dream premonition paper that made me sketch out even more: "Other researchers, like Dale Graff, might say that this is not a bias at all, but has to do with the nature of precognitive dreams. In Dale Graff’s study he observed that precognitive dreams tend to occur during the last REM cycle of the night, and the precognitive component is usually the ending of the dream. Both of these factors make the dream easier to remember "

WHOAAAAA

damn..

i personally would have driven though.. what if your dad got into some bad accident, and thus the dream was "more about him"? you'd feel very very bad, I imagine.. that'd be some haunting shit.

I had a dream last night, that the end of "Game Of Thrones" was Dog cracking open Jamie's Sword, and a cell phone pops out. Then GoT mixes with our world, and we had night walkers/wildlings/knight's watch getting ready to battle it out on our streets.

dumb dream.. so dumb that it was entertaining.

Had a dream the other night about dunking. First time ever dreaming like that. Was quite realistic too. I was shooting around with a bunch of guys, just like you do before a game. The dunks were all ones I have pulled off in real life but I just had extra height in each one. All dunks off 1 foot and a few reverse thrown in for good mix.

Clearly remember the entire thing too which is strange for me. I normally remember the gist of a dream but not specific detail.

I have this recurring dream about dunking, pretty often. The setup ( gym players etc ) is always different. The recurring part is this : i try dunking, i get unnaturally high ( mid-forearm at rim, which coincidentally is exactly 40'' ) , but when i try to throw it down and flex my wrist in the rim, the ball is stuck in my hand, like it is glued. Then i land, and it is not glued anymore, i can dribble etc. I try a few more times and the same happens.
Then i stop and i am always delighted that i can get so high but frustrated the fucking ball won't release.  :wowthatwasnutswtf:  :uhhhfacepalm:

No worries, you were probably drunk.
