    Default The house

    It's quite big, build in the thirties. It has a big garden, and an awesome swimming pool. Adjecent to the pool is a wing that needs some work, it's glass roof has many a broken window, it is filled with greek statues overgrown with plants. The toilet in my bedroom is broken. The house is fully furnished, I don't really like the style. Upstairs there are several bedrooms, nobody slept there for years. But it's most remarkable feature has to be that it doesn't exist. I keep having this dream that it somehow became my property, same place every time. I remember it in detail now that I write this just as I woke up at 3:30. What the que how can I remember such a place in such detail. Almost feels like I have been there in a different life

    The mind is a fantastic organ, and it's simply playong tricks on you, frags.

    As I see it, there are three possible explanations for this:
    1. It's all a fantasy and constructed in your brain
    2. It's a house you've seen on television or something like that some time ago
    3. The house is constructed from various different houses you've seen, been in or heard of in the past, and you have taken one feature from each of them and put them together.

    Just remember, there are no otherwordly forces at work here.

    There, but for the grace of God, goes John Bradford

    My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.

    I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.

    Don't be so sure....

    I had a simultaneous dream about a log cabin with my live-in girlfriend, a while ago. The really "otherworldly" was that we both saw the exact same cabin (with the exact same pile of cordwood stacked next to it)..........only the time-period was a hundred years different. Where she saw a new cabin, and a freshly cut and stacked pile of cordwood, I saw a falling down ruin, with a rotten stack of cordwood. We even saw the exact same trail leading away into the woods from the front door.

    The intensity of the dream woke us both up at the same time, and we just stared at each other for a second...and we knew we'd both had the same dream....but it took the telling to reveal the time differential.

    And for a number of years when I was very little, I had a recurring dream in great detail and full technicolor about a barn that I would not actually see until I was well into my teens..................

    Yes, I'm still sure.

    There are two options here as I see it:
    1. A coincidence. Yes, the odds are astronomical. But what does "astronomical odds" mean? It simply means that something will happen. Consider the number of dreams humanity has had so far in history. Quite an astronomical number too, right? Suddenly, two people having such dreams at the same time is quite logical.
    2. We still don't know how the brain works, and how the brain interacts with the rest of the body and how it is influenced by outside stimulation. Depending on how it works, it could be that one of you affected the brain of the other, or that the same outside stimulation created the same effect in both of you.

    Which one? Don't know. But I sure know that it wasn't the finger, leg, penis or some other part of god that touched you.

    Has nothing to do with god, anyways...

    Your explanation...which I don't buy for a second...might do for the cabin story, but I'm willing to give the benefit of the doubt.

    But what explanation can you come up with for the barn? I saw it in such great detail (and in color) as a two or three year old (and you can rule out tv's as there were only b&w when I was that age), and I grew up in a highly urbanized area with the nearest barn miles away.

    Same as the first: coincidence.

    Think about all the things humans have ever thought about in the history of man. Of course someone is going to encounter stuff they have thought about previously, it's bound to happen.

    Let's say it's a billion to one shot. Well, all you need is one billion thoughts and bingo, you've got one hit.

    Logic, reason and maths. Nothing more to it.

    When the "logic, reason and maths" stretch the limits of credibility more than a belief in paranormal occurrences, then it's time to ditch them in favor of another explanation. Coincidence has nothing to do with it, IMHO......

    Have a look at this vid: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZyQjr1YL0zg

    The human mind copies a lot. When you learn to speak, you are essentially copying sound patterns from others. That two people have similar dreams sounds pretty likely to me, probably you had both seen/heard or in other forms experienced something that could inspire your two similar dreams.

    Regarding otherwordly forces, this is my pivotal observation: people that believe in them will use them to explain things that they cannot explain using ordinary phenomena. People that do not believe in them, will instead think that they lack some key facts that would make them able to explain the relevant incidents ordinarily. In essence: heavy bias.

    That two people could have a similar dream can certainly be explained by such subliminal criteria as demonstrated in the flick. That two people could have the exact same dream with a time twist is stretching the subliminal angle a bit far, IMHO. That I could have a dream about a structure years in advance of when I would actually see that exact building cannot be explained using logical methods of reasoning.

    In essence: heavy bias.
    That certainly seems to be the case, for either side.

    I can actually remember my dream from an afternoon nap I had today.

    It started with me playing golf with some friends, when some old people started hitting golf balls at us. So we went and confronted them, when a bus drove by full of people from some cult. Anyway, one of them happened to be a "traveller", a group of people I saw a documentary about which are nomadic like the Roma but they still do proper work etc. And we went down to the beach with them, but when we got ready to go swim, we could see the guy was an alien.

    Then my brain switched to a spaceship race as the space police chased down this ship, and eventually they caught it by putting a wormhole of something in it that lauched it into a different time/place. Then onboard the ship, a woman was laying a trail of food down, which I knew was to help her catch a dog. And there was a TV on the ship, that showed a propaganda movie of some sort of Galactic Empire, which had a flag which was a mix of the USA's/USSR's. And during it an advert came up for an ice cream sandwhich, which I somehow managed to eat from the advert.

    WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?

    I do believe we can snap up mental energies from others. Have happened often enough for me. Now, I do not go out and claim it to be "true", and I can not do it on command. However, I have experienced enough strangeness for me to believe it to be true.

    We use like what? 5% of the brain? I am sure that in there somewhere there are receivers picking up signals somehow.

    The brain is controlled by electrons running around. All electricity has a magnetic field. All electricity is affected by magnetic fields. Several experiments have proven that you can affect the thinking of a person using electrodes, it's not highly unlikely that another brain can have the same effect.

    Alas, we probably won't know exactly how the brain works in our lifetime....
