Dream Encyclopedia - Can dreams predict the future
Romans are particularly obsessed with the idea that "dreams are predictable". There are many typical examples in their literature.
The founder of of the Roman Empire, Gaius Julius Caesar (100 BC-44 BC), known in history as Caesar .
Before he died, his wife had a dream that Caesar would be assassinated and advised him, but did not attract attention. As a result, she was assassinated and died. In
1701, French actor Camp Massel , two days before his death, he dreamed that his late mother and wife were waving to him.
He thought this meant that his life was about to end, so he called his friend and hired a burial choir. After listening to their singing, he left the teaching immediately.
However, he may not have received the inspiration from his dream, but he sensed the signal of suffering from a terminal illness in his subconscious mind.
A more famous person is Abraham Lincoln, the 16th President of the United States.
A few days before he was murdered, he told his wife that he dreamed of a coffin in front of the White House . He asked the soldiers guarding who was the person in the coffin. The soldiers told him that "it was the president and he was assassinated."
Grand Duke Franz Ferdinand , Austria-Hungarian Empire Crown Prince.
His teacher dreamed that Franz Ferdinand was assassinated the day before he was assassinated and wrote down the assassination. Before he could warn Franz Ferdinand in time, he was assassinated. Even if we look at the cases of
, we still find it incredible, let alone that science is far inferior to that of today's developed era. Therefore, people at that time all reported that they would rather believe in their existence than in non-existence.
Henry de Matlink said in his book "Uninvited Guest": Any event, no matter what happens in the past, present, or future, no matter where it occurs in space, can be found in the present somewhere, because they are eternal. For this kind of existence, we can perceive it in a certain state, so that as long as we grasp the trajectory of unoccupied events in space and time, it is possible to foresee the future.
Therefore, dreams can partially feel the eternal state of events, and the scenery in the dream has both past and present and future.
So, through these cases, it can be determined that can dream really predict the future ? Before answering this question, we might as well think of another question in reverse. This question was also proposed by Ancient Greek Angel His sage Aristotle .
He opposed the view that "dreams can make people have a premonition of the future", believing that this premonition cannot continue to work after people wake up.
For this reason, he asked the question: From ancient times to the present, there have been so many people who have had so many dreams, why are most dreams not effective?
So, he believed that the prophecy of dreams was just a kind of faith therapy, which made people believe that there can only be one successful person in a thousand people, and others are doomed to be losers.
Can dreams predict the future? We have not yet had a clear answer to the question of
, and no one can give a answer that will convince people completely.
Some so-called foresight dreams may be just compiled for some purpose in later generations. No other person knows whether he has done it or not.
But in history, there have indeed been many dreams of predicting certain events in advance. This is not a "skill" that only people with a certain special identity can have. The general public, the people around us, and even you, and I have also had such dreams. It is difficult to explain with the current scientific level.
Instead of easily making conclusions that "can predict" or "cannot predict", it is better to be more tolerant and more imaginative:
Most of the time, dreams cannot predict the future.
But by some coincidence, some dreams can indeed predict the future. Just like our sixth sense , only you can experience and perceive it.
Or perhaps, those dreams that are not effective do not happen, but they just don’t happen in time around the dreamer himself, such as in another place or even in "another space".
Therefore, there is no need to get the absolute answer to the question of "Can dreams predict the future?"
Nothing is possible without science giving a thorough explanation...
What's more, today's science may not be still scientific tomorrow...
