Is it possible to have a dream that reflects your future?

Is it possible to have a dream that can show the future of you in a different timeline?
Anamika · 2020-03-06 13:19
I doubt it. You don't consciously know the future so how would you know unconsciously? I just don't think our brains have the processing power for that. Besides, coercing your dreams to show the future would be difficult on its own. How would you know you are seeing a legitimate prediction, and not some random nonsense that just seems feasible?

i think it's possible that you're interpreting data unconsciously and the results show up in dreams. but you have to wait to see if it's accurate or not.

I have had two premonitions that I can recall, they feel like having a Déjà vu, my first was completely mundane and occurred while watching "the Simpsons" movie in theater, I turned to my friend and told him a scene was going to be cut out of the DVD release, and lo and behold, that's what happened (it couldn't have been lottery numbers, right?). My second was a vision of myself as an old man waiting in a massuse parlor for a prostitute, I really hope I am wrong about that one.

You literally wrote a selection for all dreams. Congratulations, you can feel bad now.

'time' is a severely outdated concept. einshtein ja he went back before this concept and discovered that there is a time-space continuum. everything's happening all at once in the same moment; your nervous system happened to evolve in a certain way that reflects single moments to your mind-stuff. the 'future' has been discovered to affect the 'past'.
John Walker · 2020-03-06 17:59
>>2959 If that is your interpretation of it fine, however that is a gross misinterpretation of general relativity. Einstein only affirmed that space is dependent from time, and thus is relative to the observer. Furthermore the variations of time are imperceptible most of the time because you need insanely high speeds to distort your time relative to others' viewpoint. You are also probably mixing up some probability related phenomena from quantum mechanics, but you can't influence the past from the future.
John Walker · 2020-03-06 18:01
>>2960 Time is dependent from space*. The opposite is also true, but obvious.

>2959 >'time' is a severely outdated concept. it's "outdated"? Humina. >everything's happening all at once in the same moment what is meant by "time" is a particular dimension of spacetime which behaves differently from all the others. It is not true that everything is happening all at once. >the 'future' has been discovered to affect the 'past'. this is not true
Splicer · 2020-03-06 18:21
>>2959 You presuppose that time can be collapsed arbitrarily, thus making causality between a "subjective" future affecting the past. This is incorrect, there's an upper bound to how much one can collapse time. It suggests our understanding of time is incorrect as certain moments we experience can be observed to be one and the same, but it doesn't imply that all time is a single moment.

>>2955 You really think so? There have been some instances where the dream i had was similar of what i've experienced in the future.
Gyula Kovacs · 2020-03-06 21:53
>>2965 there are a soykafton of instances when the memories i have of the past are eerily similar to what i experienced in the past your dreams need to step up friend

>>2964 my goodness, are we getting into quantum woo now? Dumping general relativity? An "observer" in quantum mechanics means *literally any particle*. Any particle measures the state of, or "observes", another particle when they interact. Retrocausality is *one* way to explain results of quantum physics. It's not very popular either. Most importantly, it does not actually allow for information transfer for the same reasons that entanglement doesn't. I believe this is the actual paper that those news stories reference. https://journals.aps.org/prl/abstract/10.1103/PhysRevLett.123.020502 IMO it is impossible to adequately interpret quantum mechanics in a nonmathematical way. Any attempt at doing so results in woo, because you're trying to put "intuitive" meanings to fundamentally nonintuitive things.
Ishikura "Tatsu" Tatsuhiko · 2020-06-08 04:32
In a way? Possibly. The way I see it, your dreams may reflect your current attitude or feelings about something, so you may subconsciously predict the future, and it may show up in your dreams later on.
Hagbard Celine · 2020-06-08 09:27
I sometimes have flashes of things that will happen, they are subtle but reliable. They show up in dreams but often i dont remember them, i dont remember most of my dreams, until they actually manifest. Often they are recursive, where i remember trying to remember what comes next and verify the accuracy or recognize patterns in those instances. They increase in frequency and length, something is developing.
Boris Grishenko · 2020-06-08 11:15
>>2954 No, but you will remember the ones that come true and your mind will blow

>>2954 I had many dreams that "predicted" my future but i think it is just coindicences.
William Holtzer · 2020-11-18 00:23
>>2954 if a dream is predictive of the future then it would (might?) be through a symbolic way, such that the way you interpret it leads to its formation. heres a podcast with someone suggesting this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZE4MT5swnes we dont seem to have a very good understanding of causality at the moment. the only link between it and the laws of physics is that entropy tends to increase, which is not so satisfying since its only a statistical law and theres no explanation of why this should also lead to us experiencing time in one direction.
Nameless · 2020-11-20 09:44
>>2954 I mean considering that there are infinite timelines, all your dreams are predictions of the future.
Boris Grishenko · 2020-11-26 19:01
>>2954 that's a good question. I've experienced both but not at the same time. sometimes in your dreams you just kinda get understand what's happening.
Jean Dupont · 2021-08-16 08:52
(((they))) don't want you to do this, op.
The Phantom Phreak · 2021-08-16 10:41
It's called a coincidence. Don't question it.
Technician · 2022-02-23 09:07
>>2954 Yes, it happens all the time. It's called Deja Vu.
