Default Precognition in dreams.

Well, this is the definion for precognition.

pre·cog·ni·tion (prkg-nshn)
n.
Knowledge of something in advance of its occurrence, especially by extrasensory perception

This can usually happen in dreams. Like when you dream of falling off a bike in a forest only to find that it actually happened a week after, or the time when I dreamed that my sister broke her leg while sledding. I dream of something a week or more before it actually happens. Has anyone else experienced such an event in their lifetime?

I don't know... nothing of the sort ever happened to me before. In fact, no one I know very well told me of something like that either. but it is a strange concept and I guess that it is a possibility.

I could swear I've dreamt about things that happened before those events happened. Like Tps222 said, for me it falls under strange deja vu... Yet I do believe that it is possible for people to have precognitive abilities.

Its more of Deja Vu than anything.

If you dreampt it after the fact of an occurence, then obviously its just a thought going through your brain and it translates it into a part in your dream.

If you dreampt if before hand then its either deja vu or a rare possibility that it might occur. Like I bought a Burrito in my dream and OMG I BOUGHT A BURRITO THE NEXT DAY WOAH.

I'm pretty sure its just Deja Vu.

Bad anaolgy snapps.

I don't think it's possible since dreams are basically your mind purging itself of useless memories(I think).

Of course you have the whole supernatural thing going on. I still don't think it's possible.

It's happened once. I got a snapshot of looking at the music room from the side in a dream then saw the exact smae snapshot the next day.
It bugged me out.

I've felt it alot, and as a child beleived in the whole precognition thing where when something happened I remembered having seen it happenening before in a dream or something.

Then I learned that precognitition, or as it's being referenced here: déjÃ*-vu, is a phenomenon caused by a signal interruption in your brain causing one eye to send the signal of an image or event to your brain before the signal from the other eye is received and the micro time lag anomoly is misinterpreted by your brain to be a longer length of time apart and is interpreted as being a memory connection instead of perception. That or something very similar is the scientific explanation for it.

I suppose that since it's a signal problem in the brain, traumatising events are more likely to be 'remembered' as déjÃ*-vu because something about them could cause the signal misinterpretation. As for people actually predicting a future event in a dream, and consciously pointing out that it is going to happen before it happens (ie. ohmygod I remember this and now the's going to slip and the ice cube he just dropped and break his neck - and then it happens), well I've never heard of a legitimate case of this so I won't even bother with that.

Honestly I remember abo\ut half of them. This will seem like im making it up but my friend and his girlfriend had been going good and i had a dream of them breaking up. The next day it had happened and i had told no one about this deam. Most of my "deja vus" happen the next day so go figure. I dont think its paranormal or supernatural its just kinda like you guessed on something that would happen and ran it like a video through your head, and you olny remember the ones you guess correctly or something to that affect.

This has happened to me before. Something will happen to me, and I'll be like, "Hey, that happened in a dream I had." Good thing the more ridiculous things never happen... o.o

Here's what I think happens:

You see, during the day I sometimes imagine different situations I may get myself into. If there's some encounter I know will happen, I think about what I'm going to say, how others may respond, and how I may respond to them. I go into many practice conversations to make sure I'm prepared.

So, I probably do the same thing in my sleep without realizing it. When I plan things out and I'm awake, I'm distracted and can only go through a small number of possible occurances. Also, I only have what my concious brain thinks about. Thus, when I'm a sleep and the crazier subconcious takes over it goes through tons of possible situations and maps out tons of possible events. Of course, I don't remember all of them, and the vast majority will never happen. However, occasionally I'll dream a possible outcome that does in fact happen, and when it does it seems faintly familiar because it was in a dream that I had mostly forgotten. Some think it's precognition, but it's just that our brains get lucky sometimes in guessing at what may happen, and we remember our dreams when what is predicted turns out to be true.

Weird, since this is the exact same explanation I came up with. But to expand on that, I think that's also the root of "intuition"; your subconsious mind comes up with several possibilities, thinks about which ones are the most likely based on past experience, and the subconsious thought becomes more consious; the other possibilities are discarded and forgotten. Of course, there is not always one clear possibility your mind comes up with, confusing you on who to lynch.

or you could go with the explanation that science and psychology studies proved which I stated earlier

My theory is this:

Say you go to bed one night, and you dream about falling down the stairs. You wake up, and you think to yourself "It was just a dream, that's all." So you take a shower, get dressed, then before you go down the steps you remember your dream. When you go down the steps you fall down.

Now, I wouldn't call this precognition. I believe that virtually any realistic dream you remember can come true because it influences your subconcious mind. It's always there in your mind. Even if you're not thinking about it, you're almost expecting it. Thusly, it probably will occur.
