I woke one Sunday morning, and was listening to the woman on the radio telling me about the mass casualties from the bombings in the underground railway and on a bus. I was talking to my partner and telling him how awful it was, and those poor people etc etc.
He looked over at me and asked what the hell I was talking about. He had been sleeping, and hadn't heard the radio. When I told him what I had just heard on the radio, he reached over and turned the radio on. It hadn't been on in the first place. Was I dreaming? I swore that I was awake the whole time, but it wasn't even time for the news to start.
3 weeks later, news came in of London. I remember hearing the number of deaths, and when I heard the radio news, the number was 4 more than the "official" toll. There were a few people who were critical, and I listened for days, hoping they were not the last 4, but heard nothing more.
It scared me because it was so real. If it was a dream, it didn't feel like one. Does anyone have any explaination? |

There is a thread on astral projection.. unexplained.group.stumbleupon.com/forum/72124/4/ [unexplained.group.stumbleupon.com/forum/72124/4/]
..not sure if that might have been what you experienced or not.
I have precognitive dreams. But fail to make sense of them, until something happens to confirm what I dreamt. They have been happening for me since I was a child. Silly things, like recognition at school for something...I dreamt it, then it happened. I remembered details...and recognized what was happening before it was complete.
But as I already said, I still to this day fail to put anything together that would help me procure a set of events that would lead me to help someone. I have gone as far (just recently) as posting the fact that I was having premenatory dreams...and had an over riding feeling of dread holding me down day after day...posting this all in hopes of finding others feeling the same way...looking for asimilation~relation...anything.
All I can say is, you are not alone. |

Sponsor | | digits | Aug 26, 2007 6:56pm | Definitely not alone! I have a few theories. You may be able to 'feel" the one that fits [if any.]
You were in a sort of hypnogogia. Kind of awake but partially sleeping. This is where I feel we are so much more "open" subconsciously. I have seen "things" and heard "things" while in this state. I have been awake to the extent I was sitting up and wiping my eyes from sleep but then have seen something walk by...only to remember it hours later. It's a form of "hypnosis" [not really] in the sense that all 5 of our senses are not master...but that "6th sense" or unexplained sense.
[The sense, for example, I got this evening as I was trying to rest off/meditate off a headache. I "felt" my beloved as he approached the room to check on me. I was aware I was sensing him rather than hearing him because I have an internal signal that is different than my ears signaling me and I snapped out of the meditative state before he got to the room.]
I have had visions of the past ...and of things happening not around me...in various states of falling to sleep or waking up. I am not sure if I have ever had precognitives but I have had dreams of a precognitive nature so why not?
I have a theory that while we are awake fully our 5 senses are mastering our existence. Do you agree with this? In some people [me, others...you?] we have either mastered not letting our 5 senses control us or we are born this way with a stronger "openness" [crown chakra]...This is often troublesome for people [me] because we are often in a world that values intellect, logic, science and empirical proof and reasoning. Often we are told it doesn't matter, can't prove it, it's your imagination, or "you're hysterical" or "crazy."
Some people buy this - usually as children - and are crushed into subservience where they discount the unexplained "vision" they get while drifting to sleep. The women had a feeling she was being followed but discounted it and was attacked. The man had a feeling he shouldn't go on the business trip but there was no proof his car was faulty - after all he'd just had it checked out...so when his brakes fail...
I know I am going off the deep end here but your story goes into a much larger area for me. The point I am trying to make is that for reasons yet unknown or fully explainable...real live messages, influence and activity occur while sleeping pre-sleeping or post-sleeping when we are not being ruled by our 5 senses. it seems to be the only time the universe can "speak to us" or when we are most open to it until we begin growing in the direction of acknowledging our 6th without having to sacrifice our 5.
As to why or how this happened to you...I can't begin to imagine. A frequency on the universe channel perhaps that you just "caught?" Or maybe this is when you're supposed to start trusting yourself more...
Like LP said...you're no way in this alone. :)
Thanks for sharing. That was fascinating. |

I've seen and heard weird and wonderful things while I've been dozing, and I've had some fabulous experiences while I have been totally focused on something entirely different. When the mind isn't wandering, or thinking 1000 thoughts (which isn't often for me), that is when you see what is right there in front of you.
Perhaps, that morning, I was still in the process of waking, but I know exactly what I heard, and it still freaks me out.
I've had little bits and pieces of random thoughts coming true later.. started watching the grand prix one night, and they were all lining up to start, when I laughed out loud and said how funny it would be if they all crashed on the first turn. The race started, off they went, and they all crashed on the first turn. On the restart, I laughed and said.. funny if it happened again, and it did! Nobody was hurt, which was good, but it was weird to see it actually happen. My boyfriend said that I was freaky and made it happen, and kept giving me strange looks after that! LOL.
And then my son starts playing silly games on rocks in the front yard. I tell him to put shoes on or he'll chop his toe off on the rocks. He doesn't put shoes on.. he takes the top of his big toe off on the rocks. That's probably just a Mum thing though ;)
*just thinking out loud.. ti's late and my mind is racing* |

You really do seem to have some kind of vision so I would expect you to have it ESPecially in pseudo-sleep right? I, too, have difficulty with quieting my mind. Left to its own devices it goes and goes and goes..
In here we have talked about time wrinkles before. ...and I have also heard and almost experienced once [maybe....I have to say maybe]...a travel backward in time. I know for a fact I have experienced forward time in dreams - which wouldn't be a preview of time necessarily but a precognitive.
If you didn't experience a pre-cognitive then maybe you experienced a time wrinkle...Maybe you were actually there and then came back. I am not very learned on time/space mechanics but I do fantasize a lot so... |

| | | 3411664 | Aug 28, 2007 1:11am | I know that I dream every night... everyone does, but it's very rarely that I remember one unless it's a real doozy, or something totally bizarre.
I've had dreams which continued on later (one dream, we were buying a drink at a corner store and one of my kids left a shoe there... a few weeks later, in another dream, we went back and got the shoe). I have no idea what those are about. I also have very bizarre dreams of people from my past, who I will run into a week or two later. Sometimes it's not a dream, but just a passing thought.
I keep trying to remember to do a dream journal, but when the alarm goes off first thing in the morning, and I realise I'm late again, that's the last thing on my mind.
Nothing wrong with fantasizing. I do it a lot too. |

Sponsor | | lovingpoet | Aug 29, 2007 11:04am | A suggestion on the thought of keeping a dream journal. Have it out on a table in the room, with a pen at the ready...if you wake with a dream still powerfully holding onto you...jaught down what details you can...in like a bullet point fasion. (to make it something that could be done in a manner of a few minutes. Then head off on your normal morning rush to get ready. If the dream was powerfull enough...your notes might tell you something when you return to them.
I have seen my notes make sense days or weeks later...when happenings of a similair nature take place...or...something happens that makes a strange dream suddenly make sense. (like your dream about the shoe) It might be something...might not. Write down what you remember...and wait and see. |
