I had 3 dreams come true in one single year. I always had 38 as my favorite number and when i turned 38 these 3 things happened.
1/ I suddenly won a Lego competition and became the designer of a lego castle set that was so popular it crached the Lego website during preorders. Nobody understood how it happened but they sold twice as much sets as the preorders were supposed to be.
2/ I had the dream for over 10 years to have my own house, we never found one to buy so I became the architect and I had it build myself. It's a dreamhouse with everything we could imagine.
3/ Probably the most valuable thing. I engaged in a theological battle with a muslim who was trying to convert christians to islam. But after 6 month of demolishing his cult and explaining christianity, he gave his life to Jesus and became Christian. I've never met him.

You think I'm lucky? Blessings come after a lot of suffering. First take up your cross and follow Jesus.
God can take everything away, I know my reward is not here but in heaven. I'll have an even better house up there.
God bless you

Great points I wish more people would adopt an honest approach to the pursuit of truth instead of closing off entire parts of the human mind when trying to understand things. Faith in true spiritual concepts helps us understand truths, live by them, and reap the benefits of living by them well before our minds can fully comprehend them.

The introduction of a Bitcoin ETF marks a groundbreaking moment in the cryptocurrency world, merging digital currencies with traditional investment methods. This innovation could stabilize Bitcoin prices and broaden its appeal to a wider range of investors, potentially increasing demand and value. At the heart of this evolution is Jason graystone fx, whose deep understanding of both cryptocurrency and traditional trading has been instrumental. His holistic approach to investment and commitment to staying abreast of market trends make her an invaluable ally in navigating this new era in cryptocurrency investment.

Among many other things about the brain, I find it amazing that we can dream of complex places and structures that we think we know we've never seen or been before. But there's always a bit of an air of familiarity about those places so they're probably amalgamations of places and structures we have seen and been to over the course of our lives.

This question is more about "why does the phenomenon of dreams exist?" or "how did the phenomenon come to be?" where I interpreted it as "why/how do dreams manifest?" which to me has a clear cut answer since I have a great deal experience and a lot of practice in dreaming itself.

To me, dreams are where the conscious, subconscious and the body interact (and whatever other spirits dwell in you). For me it's mostly these three. Go ahead and change your diet drastically for a week or so, and I'd be surprised if you didn't get a dream about it from your body asking "what's with the sudden and dramatic change of nutrients?"

Dreams from the subconscious and the body are also easy to tell apart. Body dreams come from physiological and primitive origins such as primal fears, or are an alert that there is something wrong around you while you're asleep (such as sleep apnea). Subconscious dreams are more refined, and make use of cultural and social information, and I'm inclined to believe these are more like the dreams Jordan was talking about in this presentation.

Lastly, the conscious mind, if you can keep it and bring it with you into your dreams, can also actively interact and communicate with those other components. Explaining a false alarm can be really useful and comforting. Like, say you have some sudden unfounded fear about a recent change coming from your subconscious or body, here's one place you can address it. Well, it's helped me at least.

To me, consciousness is like different kinds of light sources. When you're in the flow, it's a laser, when you're focused, it's a flash light, when you're day dreaming it's like a ceiling light and when you're dreaming it's like a lamp post without a cover so it can shine everywhere (MRI's / scans do indicate greater connectivity and interaction between parts of the brain that are more dedicated to different tasks during waking hours).

Then there's also a remark to make regarding animal dreams, since our dreams can be very sophisticated but we have no clues about those of animals. We can definitely venture a good guess that animals also have the rudimentary (or rather specialized to their kind) versions of our cultural and social dreams. Just looking at dogs dreaming you can tell from different behaviors they're doing different things at different levels of complexity. Probably ranging from getting a treat to something like chasing out a stranger intent on harming their masters/family.

I'd be surprised if Jordan ever comes by this post, but I found it interesting enough to share this experience with everyone else as well.


Lastly a personal p.s., I once had a dream where I witnessed the experience/perspectives of about 20 different people during a small scale disaster in an urban area, all at once (and not split screen in a grid or anything like that. It's hard to explain. It was a fever dream and those are always intense/special, but this was a bit much. I don't have much of an explanation for it both occurring to me nor for what it could possibly mean as a message from the subconscious/body/both/other. Heck, maybe fever dreams are special messages from the immune system, but I'm not about to go on an expedition to find out (i.e. get sick intentionally).

Dreaming is the most underrated thing in the world yet everyone seems to disregard it.

With dreams you can have the most amazing adventures, meet interesting characters, experience amazing stories, and even live through your favorite movies and shows as if you're actually there, complete with all your senses.

Lucid dreaming allows you to take this a step furher. For example dream control, skill building and creativity among a list of other things.

This is only touching the surface too. People who pay no attention to dreams are missing out on some of life's best experiences

Friedrich Nietzsche said that being a Catholic is the sanest a human being can be.

I wish I could speak to him Directly about ESP .
He is correct about what he is saying as far as dreams are concerned all though some points could be debated.
Yet, ESP is a real thing.
Not related to dreams in my case .

Loving the Jungian vibes here from Dr P, brilliant as usual!

I've had several lucid dreams. You can fly, breathe under water, walk through walls. You're invincible.
You can manifest anything you want.
Like an out of body experience.

The virtual reality of our language has the potential to lead us down the deadly path of negative thinking. Yet our neuroplasticity can be unlocked to natural authentic healing. If you look at the Chronobiology of Science we see so much healing through proper understanding of a built-in (genetically determined) 7-day (circaseptan) period. This 7-day (circaseptan) period comes to the fore as a desynchronized feature of human time structure, yet plays such a role in authentic medical procedures, such as organ transplants.

I have found weight training, proper sleep cycles, and fasting has recovered youthful neurogenesis. Quitting smoking back in 2010 was the best thing I could have done. I decided on Blake’s Birthday April 7th that I would quit on Cameron Birthday March 21st. I started Champix one week before my quitting day. When that day came – March 21st, 2010 -- I quit forever and never looked back. But I have had a strong family history of stroke, especially recently.

Many things that are considered good or evil change depending on the society. The moral of a story isn’t necessarily a moral truth. Pinocchio for example. When the gestapo asks if your Jewish friends are in your house, you don’t go telling the truth.

A few months ago i had a series of dreams of about 4 locations. They were all homes. I later found out those places are actually real and for sale currently. And i know where they are. I thought i was going to win some money and buy one or two. But that didnt work out. Sadly this is not a new thing for me. But it was the first time i really wanted the hope of it to be real.
