Precognitive Dreams About Death Are Real – Author Says

Cynthia McKanzie – MessageToEagle.com – The nature and purpose of dreams remain a scientific mystery. Even more enigmatic are precognitive dreams that predict the future through a sixth sense.

Most scientists will quickly dismiss the possibility that dreams can foretell future events, but there are some who are convinced dreams are much more than “just dreams”.

We have seen on many occasions that dreams can help us with struggles in our daily life. Scientists have discovered that dreams can help us to overcome fear.

You may have experienced an awkward condition called lucid dreaming. During lucid dreaming, you can sometimes take control of your dreams and perform various actions.

According to dream researchers, there is a certain unique technique to induce lucid dreaming. Researchers have figured out three ways to help us control our dreams and this means we can all experience lucid dreaming if we wish to. Lucid dreaming can help people to overcome for example phobias.

Lucid dreaming was long considered a myth, but science has confirmed lucid dreams exist. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said about precognitive dreams that are still met with skepticism by scientists. Yet, there are so many people who have dreamt about events that later came true. How can we explain this?

Author Andrew Paquette has studied precognitive dreams for 20 years and the results of his studies are fascinating. Paquette started off as a skeptic, not really believing dreams can foretell the future, but he later changed his mind.

In his book, Dreamer: 20 years of psychic dreams and how they changed my life, Andrew Paquette shatters the myth of what dreams are and offers an explanation that challenges mainstream scientists.

Paquette has made a dream journal comprising nearly 12,000 dreams. His research shows that most common Precognitive dreams are those involving death.

“Dreams that appear to predict future events that could not have been anticipated through any known inferential processes have been reported for centuries, and dreams that appear to anticipate the death of an acquaintance or loved one are particularly common. Such reports become more suggestive of genuine precognition if there are no natural cues (such as an illness) to an impending death and if the time interval between the dream and the subsequent death is brief.

Most reports are difficult to evaluate because we dream many times each night but typically remember and report only a salient subset of our dreams. Thus we cannot assess whether the time interval between a death-related dream and the death of the dream character is brief or lengthy because we have no control set of non-death–related dreams to which its time interval can be compared,” Paquette explains in his science paper.

Paquette points out one should keep records of time intervals when investigating dreams predicting future events. “A death-related dream is considered to provide stronger evidence for precognitive anticipation of a subsequent death to the extent that it occurs closer in time to the death than do “control” dreams that are not death-related.

In the psi literature, there are also reports of post-death communications, apparitions that occur after the featured character has already died but before the percipient had been made aware of the death through normal non-psi channels of these post-death communications take the form of what are called “leave-taking” dreams, in which the spirit of a deceased person purports to communicate to the dreamer from within a dream,” Paquette writes.

“My records are extensive, and the wealth of information they contain has proven enough to suggest some very intriguing possibilities. At the very least, certain dreams completely destroy commonly held skeptical arguments against precognition, telepathy, and out-of- body-experiences, among other things,” Paquette writes in his book.

Paquette continues by saying that “according to Freud, repressed desires, combined with memories from our waking lives, are enough to fraudulently manufacture even the most vivid, magnificently detailed dream. More modern theories state that dreams are the by-product of chemical activity in the brain.

Dictionaries say that dreams are a sequence of images from sleep. What is left out is that these images are recollections of something else. They are memories of experiences some fanciful some shatteringly real. When author Andrew Paquette first dreamed of the future he was able to avert a mugging that possibly saved his life. Over the course of the next twenty years he kept meticulous records of his dreams discovering in the process that future dreams are not only possible they are common. Even more importantly because of their quantity he was able to see that his dreams were not just isolated events but remembered snatches of a continuum of existence shared by everyone. In this groundbreaking book he destroys the myths of what dreams are how they are described what they mean and why they are or are not important. Read more

It is wrong, but in academic circles, it is de rigueur to accept some permutation of this theory. Both of these ideas are dependent upon a wholly mechanical view of life, all of which is soulless, the random byproduct of purely physical forces.

To prove this wrong, one needs only one “dream,” one memory retained after sleep, that is demonstrably connected to something real but outside one’s own experience. There are reports of many such dreams throughout history. They are mostly isolated incidents, occurring on only a handful of widely spaced occasions in any given person’s life. Regardless of incidence, if anyone of these are what they purport to be, then everything we’ve been told about dreams is wrong. “

Paquette’s dream research may not be classified as mainstream science, but the results of his studies are fascinating and open a new window into the mysterious world of our dreams.
