Precognitive Dreams
Precognitive dreams occur but what are we to make of them?
Published on July 30, 2011 by Patrick McNamara, Ph.D. in Dream Catcher
Here is a so-called precognitive dream reported in Van de Castle, R.L (1994). Our dreaming mind. Ballantine, New York; p 406-407

"Walter Franklin Prince, a psychologist and Episcopal minister, ....dreamed that he had in his hand a small paper, with an order printed in red ink for the execution of the bearer, a slender woman with blond hair about thirty-five years old. The woman appeared to have brought the execution order to Dr. Prince voluntarily and indicated he willingness to die, if only he would hold her hand. After he examined the execution order, the lights went out and it was dark. Prince could not determine how the woman was put to death, but her soon felt her hand grip his and knew that the deed was being carried out. Then he felt one of his hands on the hair of her head, which was loose and severed from her body, and he felt the moisture of her blood. The fingers of his other hand were caught in the woman 's mouth, which opened and shut several times. Prince was horrified at the thought of the severed but living head. Then the dream faded.

She would call out for help and when the assailant saw light from the windows he would leave, but as soon as there was no more light he would come back.

    Jack the Ripper was a murderous madman who terrorized prostitutes in the late 1880�s. Time has not diminished the gruesomeness of the killings. All the victims' throats were cut ;some victims were disemboweled ;and the killer took organs from some of his victims. When fear of the Ripper peaked, the killings stopped, and a century of speculation ensued (jack 1). Many authors have tried to sift through the evidence and have arrived at their own theories as to the identity…

The cuts were not quite clean, a little ragged at the edges, and the bones seemed to have been cut part way through and snapped the rest.

Due to the state of blood, i estimate the act was done less than two hours before our arrival.…

    Sigmund Freud is the first modern psychologist to look at dream. He developed “his psychological theory of dreams, from his experience with his troubled patients and his own life events” (Moorcroft pg. 200). According to Wayne Sproule, Freud argued that a dream is like a safety valve that harmlessly discharges otherwise unacceptable feelings. He believed that dreams had hidden meanings that can be showed through symbolic images and even puns. Dream was seen as a language of its own. Freud’s theory of dreaming has three basic aspects (Hunt, 1989): why dreaming occurs, (2) how dreams are formed, and (3) a method of dream interpretation (Moorcroft 173). Freud believed that all behavior, including dreaming, is motivated by powerful, inner, unconscious…

    1. The problem that is being tested by the researchers in this study is the effects of a low fat, plant based diet on participants in a multi-center corporation. More than half of Americans today are either overweight or obese and have an increased risk of type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, hypertension and some cancers. The researchers wanted to test how a plant based diet will affect these factors in people in the workplace. They chose the work place because it is a place that people spend a large amount of their time and an ideal place for people to make dietary choices. Also, these chronic diseases are of high interest to employers, as they are likely to increase sick leave as well as raise insurance and disability costs. So far,…

    The Metamorphosis touches upon several of Freud’s dream theories. It presents the idea of dreams as a portrayal of wishes. Another one of Freud’s theories that is presented is the concept of condensation as the representation of an object or idea through an action or person in a dream or fantasy. In this story, the unconscious wishes of the characters are brought to light through Gregor Samsa’s transformation and visualized during the time that Gregor spends in a fantasy-like life as a cockroach. One problem with the text is that it does not clarify whether this is fantasy or reality.…

    Are Dreams Meaningful

    • 919 Words
    • 4 Pages

    Since the beginning of time, the interpretation of dreams has been used as a means to provide guidance for future actions or as warnings. Some dreams are so bizarre that they have often been ascribed to the soul having an out of body experience (Tedlock, 1987). While dreams are often defined as successions of random visual images, these images are only a complement to the feeling of being absorbed into a fantasy world in which things happen, actions are carried out, people are present, and emotions are felt, a mimicry of the sensation of being awake in every way. While elaborate, mystery still surrounds the meaningfulness of dreams and how they relate to humanity in this universe.…
