Poll: Do you think Dreams can predict the future.

[bojackx]

HAHAHAHA!

...oh you're serious. No, no I don't.

 

[KishinZero]

I know people who have had psycic dreams before and I have experianced one before as well. I don't think it can predict the future so much as giving a good guess based on your memories and other information about it. This stuff does happen but I doubt its actually a vision of the future.

Last night I had a dream where I rescued a cute redhead and some alien type people from... someone, possibly other aliens I'm not sure, then me and the redhead hooked up (naturally). I forget the specifics now and I'm pretty sure I had the same dream twice with different elements each time.

Pretty sure that's never going to happen and is probably just because I've recently become slightly obsessed with W.I.T.C.H. anyway.

So no, dreams as prophecies is bullshit.

Sometimes I'll reenact things that happen in my dreams, but that's because it was a great idea. Usually that happens when I dream about food.

But what if you dream about sausages, raspberry ice cream and gherkins?

That would be a very disturbing breakfast.

That doesn't sound like a great idea to me. My usual dream breakfast is waffles, since I can't be arsed to make them any other time. Cooking takes to long unless I really really want it.

What? No, no, no, no, no. NO, no, no, no.... Nooooooooo, no, no, no. Really? No, no, no, no. Just no. Really no.

[Fijiman]

I'm not sure. Some pretty crazy shit can happen in dreams so it might be possible, but you probably wouldn't know if a dream you had was of something in the future until it actually happened.

Hoooold on a second here flower.

I read this and came to the scary realisation you don't like cooking........

It just popped into my head that if I end up living with you, 2 computer game characters and your hat ..... i'm going to end up doing the bloody cooking.

I somehow get the feeling i'm getting the bum wrap in this living arrangement.

 

[wolf thing]

think of all the dream you have had which didn't come true, yes i did just reference game of thrones
no dreams cant, dream are vague and you forget most thing afterwords and then you fill in the blanks after the fact. so no. no they cant.

 

[Simonoly]

Spoiler: is this even a question? Man you made my day

This.

 

[Best of the 3]

No. Not even slightly. It wouldn't explain my weird as fuck dreams (Imagine my friends in my school with some BDSM and terrorists and my teacher belonging to MI5)

However, if the dream relates more closely to life, it may subconscoiously cause you to chose the same sort of outcome. Therefore not predict, but influence your future into becomming the same, and therefore seem like dreams predicted the future.

 

[Sexy Devil]

I sure hope they can't, or I'm going to take a few nasty gunshot wounds to the face one day. Yeah, my dreams are pretty depressing. Luckily I only remember like one a year.

 

[Kyber]

if they do, im very exited about my future sexual intercourse with numerous pornstars

 

[Stilkon]

No, but I do believe that dreams are a good indicator of what's on the mind in the present. Often when I'm excited or worried about something, I'll have a dream surrounding it. These are my personal experiences, though, and I wouldn't be surprised to find that not everyone has them. Perhaps it's the same with your 'clairvoyance'?

You don't need to cook to order pizza. If we're living together you're living by my rules, if you cook the other person cleans. At least you don't have to worry about dishes.

 

[Doneeee]

I recently had a dream where I'm on a field trip, which turns into a family vacation, which turns into my house, which turns into me and 2 pals chilling, which turns into me boning my ex, (condom broke) which turns into me arguing with my Dad about buffalo wings. What the fuck does that mean is going to happen?

 

[DugMachine]

Its always been my understanding that in dreams you can't really come up with places you've never actually seen before in real life. Especially faces, you might meet people you never know but i've read that its that you've seen that person somewhere but never really payed them much attention or didn't even notice them at all, your brain just absorbs the information and puts it waaaay back in your mind cause its not important.

Then when you dream it just picks random faces from the database of your mind or whatever and you think they're made up people.

 

[Scarim Coral]

Yes to a certain degree. I see it more like a vision so you're only get a small hint or glimpse of what will transpire but you don't get the clear image. Also this is something that will rarely happen and you cannot control it.

 

[LetalisK]

No. Dreams are a result(by-product?) of the brain processing previous events, so it's actually going in the opposite direction if anything.

 

[Popadoo]

The future is set (determinism) however I doubt our brains are complicated enough to do more than make wild guesses about the future.

Pretty much this.
Yes, our brains and everybody's brains follow the rules of physics, and therefore our actions are predetermined, but the idea that we could predict anything is ridiculous.
