Prophetic dream. What is this and who dreams about it? Why do people have prophetic dreams? Why do I have prophetic dreams?

The fact that people have prophetic dreams from time to time is usually believed either by housewives, or illiterate workers (and in general women with poor quality education, low earnings, living in villages and villages), or people old age. This is the opinion of sociologists, formed as a result of a survey of more than one and a half thousand Russian citizens. I do not consider myself to be one of the above groups of people, but at the same time I have no doubt about the existence of prophetic dreams.

Once, a very long time ago, I had a prophetic dream. I don’t really want to describe it in detail for several reasons: firstly, the dream was quite disgusting, and secondly, it’s not that important. The main thing is that the next morning I was completely convinced: my grandmother had died in Leningrad. It really was like that.

Categorically rejecting the presence of prophetic dreams is stupid and pointless. By the way, many researchers seriously believe that something similar still takes place, since in the history of mankind there have been more than once incidents pointing to prophetic dreams. Experts working in the field of dreams like the following example of a prophetic dream: Ryleev in infancy he fell seriously ill, a little more and he would have had to be buried. Suddenly, the mother had a dream: a mysterious voice urgently recommended that she not pray for the recovery of her little son, because otherwise his fate would be difficult and his death would be terrible. In a dream, the mother saw the future of a child whose life would end in execution. But the woman, of course, thought only about healing the child. Soon, she noticed that the baby was starting to get better. Now the fate of the Decembrist Ryleev is familiar to everyone - he was executed by hanging in the Peter and Paul Fortress.

Also well known is the prophetic dream of M. Lermontov, who adored free time practice math. Once Lermontov could not decide difficult task, he fell asleep and in a dream he met a man unknown to him, who helped solve the problem. The poet woke up, recorded what he was told during his sleep, and along the way he sketched a portrait of the stranger. Later long years this portrait was finally seen by specialists who immediately said - this is John Napier, the author of logarithms. Lermontov’s comrades assured that he had no idea who this Napier was and what he was doing. It is worth noting an interesting feature: Napier was a Scot, while the roots of the Lermontov family itself are intertwined with G. Lermont, a native of the same Scotland.

They say how Abraham Lincoln had a prophetic dream before his death: the White House and in it a coffin covered with a white cloth. Lincoln asked the private guarding near the coffin: “Who is being buried?” They answered him: “The President.” Exactly 10 days later, Lincoln was assassinated.

L. Vertinskaya reported that immediately after the death of her husband she had a dream: “I see we are standing on the platform, I am seeing him off. He says: “Remember - I have the 5th carriage, 6th place.” In the afternoon I went to get a pass to the cemetery, where "My dead husband lies. The pass said: 5th precinct, 6th place."

There is information about other prophetic dreams, which often deliver certain good news. It is noteworthy to mention the discovery of the icon of the Kazan Mother of God. Then she came to a certain girl in a dream herself mother of God and told where exactly her icon was hidden. She ordered the girl to announce the news so that the icon would be found and taken out of the ground. The Mother of God came more than one night, until the girl herself went to the said place and unearthed the hiding place where the holy icon actually lay.

And a more modern example of a prophetic dream, which was told by A. Murashev: “Oleg P. dreamed that on the way from the airport he approached an intersection on Sadovaya Street. Here Oleg observed in detail an accident between two cars. There were glass shards and blood everywhere... Oleg stopped, and the policeman gave him a sign to go around. All this left an indelible impression. Oleg got up, made coffee. He felt somehow uneasy inside, a strange heaviness was felt. Then Oleg went to the airport on business, and a little later he witnessed that "The accident itself. Only now in reality. Two broken cars, broken glass... but this time it is not covered in blood. Out of shock, Oleg slowed down, and the policeman waved irritably, forcing him to go around. Oleg drove to the stop and turned off the engine in order to catch his breath a little." .

There are thousands of similar prophetic dreams. But the story will not be complete without the official opinion of experts on this matter. They have more than one hypothesis in stock. In particular, bioenergeticists believe that people borrow data for the realization of prophetic dreams from the global information field called the noosphere. A person disconnected from reality seems to become a radio receiver tuned to a fixed radio frequency. The radio receiver “listens” to the noosphere and receives necessary information. But not everyone has such a gift.

Neurologist D. Vinson, together with several researchers, characterizing the activity of the brain during sleep, compares it with an electronic computer. Vinson states that the brain reinterprets information received while awake and connects it with what is in memory (from past days, months, years). The result of the information received is what we take to be a prophetic dream.

This assumption is rejected by a domestic specialist, bioradiologist Yu. Redchenko, who believes that the theory about the mind working during our sleep, processing all probable sequences of events, considering various circumstances and ultimately finding the only correct solution, has a lot of shortcomings. Because often what is seen in a prophetic dream only at first resembles future events, but in fact it may be someone’s past.

“As an example, I can give a story,” says Redchenko, “when a mother had a dream where her son went on a trip in a car. It was a little strange, because her son didn’t have a car. The young man was sitting behind the wheel not too confidently and As a result, he drove into a nearby tree. There was not a scratch on the unfortunate driver, only the car was scrambled. The mother dreamed about the events from May 6 to 7, soon news came from her son that on the fifth of this month he had an accident in a friend’s car and now he needs to find 500 dollars for repairs. The dream told about what happened even before his son’s letter. Does the dream belong to the class of prophetic things? After all, he just described what happened several hundred kilometers away a few days earlier. Temporal parameters,” Redchenko ends the story, “have no meaning here meanings."

In addition, Redchenko rejects the very popular judgment that the similarity of a prophetic dream with reality is an accident. The chance of such an accident is no more than one millionth of a percent, so there is nothing to talk about.

And yet, today the question of why prophetic dreams occur remains unanswered. On average, a person can have a prophetic dream only a few times in his entire life. Or maybe you won’t see it at all.

Prophetic dreams are those in which a person manages to see a situation that, after some time, happens to him in real life. How to treat such dreams? Which dreams are truly prophetic? How to react to what you see in a dream? We can answer these and a number of other questions by analyzing several types of dreams that broadcast future events and understanding the nature of their origin.

Pseudo-prophetic dreams
The desire to “know what will happen” has been characteristic of man since ancient times. In the times of paganism, during the period of early civilizations, in the Middle Ages, people turned to dream books, to priests or seers, in order to extract from what they saw in a dream “guidance for action” in the future.

There is information in the literature that reading symbols and images helped our ancestors not only learn about what the harvest would be like and how the upcoming hunt would go, but also often described the real outcome of battles and battles. Unfortunately, it is quite difficult to judge whether the interpreters were people with superpowers or clever psychologists who simply knew how to make people believe that what they predicted was coming true. However, the search for the mystical in images from dreams does not lose its relevance.

Current situation. In a dream, a girl sees a flock of pigeons flying past her window. A dream book opens, offering to interpret prophetic dreams: “A flock of flying pigeons dreams of a quarrel and loss of personal happiness.” An upset girl meets a young man in the evening and remains silent. The guy tries to find out what is wrong with his beloved, constantly asks questions that remain unanswered, asks again, gets accused of being meticulous, and in the end a quarrel actually occurs. And the girl thinks: “Well, that’s exactly what it said in the dream book.”
Is this a prophetic dream? No, this is a coincidence that a person programs himself, consciously creates a situation in which the meanings of the symbols seen in a dream are updated.

The origin of prophetic dreams
A true prophetic dream is an extremely rare and exceptional phenomenon. Let us include in this category such dreams, the events seen in which actually happen to a person! Much more often we see so-called “prophetic dreams”, artificially created by ourselves. That is, we adjust what we saw in a dream to real situations, and if it coincides (note that it coincides) with what really happened, we classify our dream as prophetic.

Prophetic dreams of ideal origin
In fact, prophetic dreams are the lot of selected people who are distinguished by one common quality - complete dedication to their work. When their whole life is entirely devoted to one thing, their brain develops certain skills of action in one area or another, and a certain obsession in the good sense of the word appears in the work of thought.
For the poet, the rest of the day that took place, the brain, due to its inertia, puts it into a logical form, rhyming it (Pushkin); for the composer - adding melody (Schumann); for the artist - creating the splendor of the drawing (Raphael). And these are real facts, all these people “saw” part (just a small part!) of their works in a dream, and when they woke up, they put it on paper.

History knows many examples when great people saw their discoveries and drew ideas for creativity from their dreams. It is known that the sleeping Pushkin discovered rhymes that he painfully selected and did not find during the day, Raphael saw paintings in his dreams, the splendor of which he recreated in reality, Rene Descartes discovered the foundations of analytical geometry, the chemist August Kekule, thanks to a dream with monkeys, described the cyclic formula benzene

The most discussed dream in literature is Abraham Lincoln's dream. The President dreamed of the White House, a coffin standing under a white cover and an address to the guard, from which Lincoln learned that they were burying the President, who was killed in the theater. 10 days later there was a terrorist attack in the theater, as a result of which the United States actually lost its President.

The dream of K. Ryleev’s mother seems no less mysterious. As a child, Kondraty Fedorovich was seriously ill and the doctors did not console his mother with the hope of curing her son. In a dream, the mother heard a voice that told her that it was pointless to ask the Lord to heal the baby, since his life would be difficult and his death would be monstrous. The boy miraculously recovered, however, how the Decembrist’s life turned out and what its ending was is well known.

One “prophetic” dream of Mark Twain is very illustrative. In his youth, the future writer and his younger brother Henry became apprentice pilots on the steamship Pennsylvania. It so happened that Mark fell ill and had to miss the flight. At night, in a dream, he saw a metal coffin in the center of the room on two chairs, in which his brother lay with a bouquet of white roses and one red rose on his chest.

Waking up, Twain did not immediately realize that it was a dream, he was so impressed by the picture he saw. After some time, the brothers were sent to work on different ships, and after several days a message came about the wreck of the ship on which the writer’s brother served. Mark Twain urgently left for Memphis, but was no longer able to help his dying brother. The bodies of all the victims were in the city morgue. The huge number of identical wooden coffins made it very difficult to find his brother's body. The writer literally fell into a daze when in the middle of the hall he saw a single metal coffin standing on two chairs; his late brother was lying in it.

An elderly woman brought and placed a bouquet of white roses with a single red one. Later, the writer found out that the women of Memphis were touched by the beauty of the young man and, using their own funds, purchased a metal coffin for him so that they could deliver the body to his relatives. And the elderly woman who brought the bouquet said that Henry was very similar to her deceased son. Was this a coincidence or a prophecy? Neither the writer nor the scientists involved in dream research could answer this question.

Consider the case of the famous periodic table of chemical elements! The scientist worked for a long time on the classification of elements, but could not finally come to the creation of a harmonious system, although he saw the relationship between them. And then one day, after much thought, he stayed asleep in his office. When he woke up, he was overwhelmed with delight from what he saw in his dream, and immediately began to copy his dream onto paper. The table has been built.

The case with the chemist showed that in the presence of constant remnants of the day, which were not diluted by everyday problems, a logically constructed video picture with the rest of the day, which was transmitted from day to day, where chemical elements and data about them were present, the requirement to somehow define them in a scheme, - all this one day gave its result. Surely, in the waking state, the obstacle was fatigue, distraction by something extraneous. In a relaxed state, when the interference was removed, the brain gave a logical ending to the research. The brain worked like a universal psychoanalyst!

In religious sources you can often find facts of prophetic night vision by one or another prophet. But it is the prophets who see, and not anyone else. This prophet is the person who has sufficiently cognized the truth of the world creation, living by love for his neighbor. He dedicated his entire life to this activity, suffered, prayed, loved and forgave. Without this set, where there is a complete dedication to the religious science of the creation of the world (obsession - in a good sense), no one will see anything. Nobody and nothing (prophetic)!
In these cases, there are “prophetic dreams” of ideal origin, where it is obvious that a person has talent, giftedness, constant subordination of oneself to the task and the obligatory absence of dilution. This is unique, both in relation to our history and to the lives of the people themselves to whom all this happened.

Why do we have prophetic dreams?
In the context of prophetic dreams, the arguments of John William Dunne deserve special attention. The aviation engineer pilot constantly had dreams that foreshadowed events in his family. Later, dreams appeared that affected the destinies of a large number of people.

In particular, he managed to foresee a volcanic eruption in the Far East, which claimed the lives of a huge number of people. Many years of experience in prophetic dreams allowed the Irishman to explain what was happening and describe the nature of dreams in his work “Experiments with Time.” Dunn's theory echoes Einstein's argument that the past, present and future occur simultaneously. Thus, the consciousness of a sleeping person perceives times as a ruler and seamlessly crosses the boundaries of times. If a person learns to take advantage of the opportunity to move freely through time, he will be able to benefit from this process, both for himself and for society.

How to treat prophetic dreams?
The types of dreams discussed earlier indicate that dreams can be ignored, real events can be modeled after them, and creative ideas can be realized in them.
Do not forget that human life is not programmed. This is not some chain of inertial events. Therefore, dreams describing future events should not be taken as a “sentence”. What you see can be a signal of the need to prepare for circumstances and the opportunity to correct the situation and prevent its undesirable outcome.

When can you dream about the future?
Prophetic dreams occur rarely and on certain days (except for visions), which should be taken into account so as not to rack your brains over unraveling symbols that are not destined to come true. According to Slavic mythology, a portal opens several days a year, using which you can order a prophetic dream:
Yuletide holidays;
Ivan Kupala Day - on the night of July 6-7;
At Christmas;
on the night from Thursday to Friday;
before major Orthodox holidays.
Prophetic dreams are most likely during the Holy Week, starting from January 7 (Christmas) to January 19 (Epiphany): the deceased who come in a dream tell us our future fate.
During Holy Week, people are also lured by evil spirits. According to Maria Semyonovna, at this time she has freedom: Jesus has already been born, but has not yet been baptized. Therefore, evil spirits take the most active part in fortune-telling at Christmas time: they tell the truth, but they will take their payment for it, since they do nothing for free. Healers call on everyone who tells fortunes at Christmas time to repent.

On any church holiday you can have a prophetic dream, but it must come true before noon (lunch) of that day. In the old days they used to say: “Holiday sleep before lunch.”

On the third day of each month, also expect prophetic dreams, and on the night of the twenty-fifth you will have an empty dream.
Dreams from Thursday to Friday always predict fate. Friday is considered a special day: Jesus Christ was crucified on Good Friday. It is believed that important things should not be started on Friday, lest they turn into failure.

Dreams that occur on “temporary Fridays” are filled with special meaning and accuracy of prediction; they are also called Great or nominal.
Good (nominal) Fridays:
1st - first week of Lent.
April 2nd - April 7th. Before the Annunciation.
3rd - on the eve of Palm Week.
4th - on the eve of the Ascension.
5th - on the eve of Trinity.
June 6th - June 7th, on the eve of the Nativity of John the Baptist.
7th - August 2, before Elijah the Prophet.
8th - August 28, on the eve of the Assumption.
9th - on the eve of Archangel Michael's Day, September 19.
November 10th - November 14th, before the Day of Saints Kuzma and Demyan.
11th - January 7, on the eve of the Nativity of Christ.
January 12th - January 19th, before Epiphany

Personalized Fridays are called because each has a name determined by a specific event described in the Old Testament: Assumption, Annunciation, Epiphany. Every Friday also carries a special blessing:
“Whoever fasts on the first Friday will be saved from unexpected death.”

Other days of the week.
On the night from Sunday to Monday you can make a wish for sleep. Expect both prophetic and empty dreams.
From Monday to Tuesday - I have empty (physical) dreams.
From Tuesday to Wednesday - dreams can come true.
From Wednesday to Thursday - empty (bodily) dreams occur.
From Thursday to Friday - dreams come true (up to three years).
From Friday to Saturday - bodily dreams occur.
From Saturday to Sunday - the dream can come true before lunch.

Dreams and visions do not depend on the day of the week, they are always true. If symbols are repeated in a dream, then these dreams are prophetic.

Times of Day
A day's sleep is usually empty (except for dreams) if it reflects the past.
Evening or night sleep can often be empty: the soul barely begins to move away from the body, and bodily images are replaced by prophetic ones. Such a dream is especially difficult to understand.
Morning sleep is the surest. The soul has sufficiently moved away from the body, having forgotten the worries of the day, and can see the phenomena of the other world.
However, few people remember that in order to see a dream predicting the future, during the procedure it is necessary to remove the cross on the body, which protects the person from the influence of otherworldly forces.
It turns out that prophetic dreams do not come from God.
The appearance of such dreams is facilitated by certain days of the lunar calendar, which greatly increase the possibility of their occurrence.

Dreams that cannot be prophetic!
Dreams that occurred on an empty or full stomach. Someone who is hungry may dream of food, but someone who is hungry may have bad dreams. Therefore, the likelihood of prophetic dreams increases approximately 2 hours after eating.
Dreams under the influence of sleeping pills, alcohol or drugs. Smoking tobacco is permissible only if it is difficult to sleep without it.
For acute somatic disorders: high fever, headache or pain in different parts of the body.
With prolonged sexual abstinence. The content of such dreams often comes from natural needs.
Poorly affect the quality of sleep: cold, heat, stuffiness, strong smells and sounds, electric light.
A simple conclusion - only healthy dreams can be prophetic.

To make the dream memorable.
Only those dreams that you remember are destined to come true. There are ancient ways to make this difficult task easier:
put a stone under your head,
In the morning, when you wake up, bite the corner of your pillow,
When you wake up, don’t look at the fire or out the window,
sleep on your right side, but not prone (on your stomach).
To make the dream come true.
Do not tell your prophetic dream to anyone for 3 days, or better yet, hide it altogether.

So that a bad dream does not come true.
- forget it quickly. For this:
hold yourself by the crown,
look at the living flame of a candle, match, lighter or out the window,
knock on the window three times,
if you wake up in the middle of the night from bad dreams: turn the pillow over, turn the pillowcase and linens inside out. If you want to dream about a person you saw in a dream, quickly turn the pillow over,
tell the bad dream before noon to the big one number of people,
hold the iron or wood with your hands and say:
“Where there is night, there is sleep. Just as a felled tree does not end up on a stump, so that a dream in truth does not become like that.”
opening a tap with cold water, say: “Water, take away all my troubles, all my sorrows,”
After opening the front door, stick your left foot over the threshold and command the bad dream to go away.
addressing the smoke of a cigarette or fire, say: “Where the smoke goes, there goes the dream,”
Start your morning with the words: “Rise up a good dream, crack a bad dream,”
tell your dream to the stone. Since ancient times, it was customary to transfer danger to a stone: it was placed in front of the house so that an evil glance would “hit” it, so that diseases would remain on it and would not enter the house.
When mentioning a misfortune or illness, knock on a stone and say: “The stone hit.” In ancient conspiracies, diseases and all evil spirits were cast out on a stone (water or mountain). After a funeral or meeting with a funeral procession, you need to touch the stone so that death passes to it.
Make a Dream Trap, the oldest powerful amulet. The trap will retain good dreams and neutralize bad ones.

We control fate, contrary to the forecasts received.
Dreams provide an opportunity to look into the future: to see events close (tomorrow, in a week) and distant (in a year, ten years). These events may concern the dreamer personally or people close to him.
Trying to interpret his dreams, a person enters into dialogue with higher powers and increasingly sees prophetic dreams that provoke corresponding actions and emotions.

The same dream plot repeated several nights, prompting a person to take certain actions, is considered true. It was as a result of such dreams that lost objects were found several years after their disappearance.

Often, strong family ties contribute to the emergence of truthful dreams. Close people may feel during sleep that danger is approaching a loved one, but they usually do not have time to do anything to correct the situation or avert the misfortune.

More than half of prophetic dreams predict bad events in the life of a person or society. It is very rare that you can correct a dreamed event by changing reality. Dreams do not make it possible to determine the exact date and location of future natural disasters, accidents, or destruction with casualties. The event could happen right now or years from now.
If dreams are interpreted incorrectly, then fate may not go according to the “scenario”. Therefore, from time immemorial, the interpretation of dreams has been compared to great art and science, and has been classified as secret knowledge.
In the old days, dream books were compiled with understanding and only dedicated people used them. Nowadays, book shelves are littered with dream books, and the Internet will helpfully “interpret” any dream. As a result, dreams are interpreted illiterately, and a person walks around confused, not suspecting that the interpretation of dreams is taken mostly out of thin air.
You cannot unconditionally take on faith the interpretation of a dream proposed in dream books!
Whatever the prophetic dream, it is just a prediction, a warning, one of the options for your destiny, which you have the right to create yourself: bring a good dream into reality, erase a bad one from your consciousness.
Knowledge of upcoming events is not given for free. Everything has its price, sometimes quite expensive. The torment of seeing danger, death, destruction without the ability to change anything disrupts a person’s mental state and irrevocably destroys his health. So is it worth striving to see the future?

Many of you have often come across the concept of prophetic dreams. Some people believe in this, and some don't. And this is not surprising, because in our modern age technologies, we turn less and less to mythical forces, and rely more and more only on ourselves.

Prophetic dream, what is it?

A prophetic dream, as it was believed in the time of our great-grandmothers, predicts future events, as if warning a person. Such dreams were taken quite seriously, because the events happened as if in reality. For which there was no explanation. But such a dream should not be confused with an ordinary one. Often a person is so immersed in some problem that it penetrates into his sleeping subconscious, which causes an erroneous opinion about a prophetic dream.

Why do prophetic dreams occur?

Some people often wonder what to do if you have prophetic dreams. The answer is quite simple. If you are an ardent atheist and don’t believe in anything, then just take them as an ordinary dream. And if not, then try to understand its meaning, the source of its occurrence. After all, in any case, sleep is a continuation of our thoughts. Therefore, you should not blindly rely on what you dreamed; remember that you build your life yourself, and everything depends only on you.
Let's ask you one more question Why do I often have prophetic dreams?, and why do you dream about them at all? This fact interested at one time not only ordinary people, but also scientists. After conducting research, they discovered that there is a small percentage of the population who actually dream prophetic dreams. These people are very emotionally sensitive and subtle. And for the most part, their dreams are far from rosy, but gloomy and pessimistic. The frequency of such visions directly depends on the functioning of our brain. How stronger man busy during the day, the more intensely he experiences, the higher the chance that he will have a so-called prophetic dream. In addition, there is a percentage of dreams that we ourselves turn into prophetic dreams. If a person really believes, then on an unconscious level he will fulfill everything he saw, calling the dream prophetic.

Prophetic dream and day of the week

Since ancient times, in Rus' there have been special days for fortune telling, for prophetic dreams. The most common opinion, to this day, is that the optimal period is the night from Thursday to Friday. Such days also included Epiphany holidays, the holiday of Ivan Kupala, Christmas, the days of the summer and winter solstice and the full moon. For those who wholeheartedly believed in such prophecies there was an acute question - When I have prophetic dreams, what to do with these predictions? All the girls hoped to see their betrothed, or get married soon. They took the dream very seriously and tried to correctly interpret the dream.

Interpretation of a prophetic dream

Prophetic dreams differ from ordinary dreams, as many people claim, in their realism and special lighting. Try to remember the details, what you said, what you did. If you missed something, it’s okay, at the right moment your subconscious will help you remember necessary information. You can interpret the dream using a regular dream book; this will be quite enough.

Don't forget that these are just dreams, you shouldn't cross the line and become a "fanatical dream catcher." Live in the real world, no one forbids you to be interested, read, learn about this rather entertaining phase of our lives. And here's another piece of advice from our ancestors. If your dream really frightened you, pour water into a glass, put a spoonful of salt there and, stirring, say: “As this salt dissolves, so let my dream dissolve.” Then pour out the water and try not to think about the bad anymore.

How to identify a prophetic dream

After interpreting the dream, we think about it. Whether the dream will come true or not depends on which lunar day you dreamed about and on what day of the week. Let's look into moon calendar- what and what lunar day.

By comparing the data on lunar day and by the day of the week one can guess whether the prophecy of the dream will come true.

Sleep from Thursday to Friday 03/06/2020

The concept of “prophetic dreams” implies dreams in which a person can see a certain event that after some time occurs in real life. Since ancient times, people have taken this phenomenon very seriously, but there is still no reliable answer to the question of why prophetic dreams occur. Of course, not every dream is true. Also, do not equate with them various symbols and images that can be interpreted in completely different ways.

A true prophetic dream is considered a very rare occurrence. More often, a person, having seen a certain image, tries to fit it into reality, and if any coincidences arise, he begins to consider the dream true. As a rule, only selected people who devote their entire lives to a specific cause manage to see prophetic dreams. In fact, their brain gets used to it over time and, as it were, tunes in to a specific wave; a kind of obsession appears in its activity, which is reflected in dreams. This is how artists see their future masterpieces in their dreams, scientists see important scientific discoveries, etc.

What causes them?

To understand the various aspects of this interesting phenomenon and also to answer the main question A lot of research has been conducted into why prophetic dreams occur. It was possible to find out that the prediction seen is always associated with the part of the brain that is responsible for emotional manifestations. The clearest and clearest dreams are for people of a creative nature, as well as for those who practice various meditative techniques and yoga.

As for the question of when exactly true dreams come, there is also no exact answer. There are many folk beliefs, according to which, a prophetic dream can be seen on certain days of the week, for example on the night from Thursday to Friday or from Monday to Tuesday, or in some specific phase of the moon. IN ancient Rus' people believed that true predictions were made at baptism, while Catholics believed that such dreams always come at Christmas. There is also a theory that says that the greatest probability of seeing true dreams occurs on days when there is an energetic imbalance, such as the full moon or the summer or winter solstice.

Types of dreams

Prophetic dreams can be literal and symbolic. Literal dreams are always easy to interpret, and the events seen in them are repeated in detail in real life. It is much more difficult to analyze symbolic images, which can also predict the future, but not directly, but indirectly.

And although the nature of prophetic dreams is still poorly understood, they can all be divided into three groups, the first of which will include dreams associated with human activities, which she is engaged in most of her time. History knows many examples when poets saw their poems in their dreams, composers create melodies, engineers find new ideas for projects, etc. similar dreams can be easily explained by the fact that the human brain is heavily loaded with certain information. Even when distracted by extraneous matters, consciousness continues to concentrate on a specific activity or a specific idea. When a person sleeps, he is in complete silence in a state of rest, and it is at this moment that consciousness can give out an idea or solution to a problem that could not have been born before.

To some extent, those dreams that come true by the will of the person himself can also be classified as prophetic. We can simply believe that the dream we had is true and carry it out ourselves. It is also related to brain activity.

The third group is the most interesting and mysterious, because it includes those dreams that can be associated with the real gift of clairvoyance. Such dreams are seen by people with a very fine mental organization and emotional sphere. No one can reliably explain the ability to see the future in a dream, but, nevertheless, such a phenomenon exists.

Signs

Many people try not to show their true interest in dreams, but once they have seen a prophetic dream, they radically change their worldview. But how can you understand when dreams are truly prophetic? They can be recognized by the following criteria:

Astrologers claim that such true dreams are a solution to future or existing problems, which is suggested to a person by some higher mind.

Interpretation

The interpretation of dreams can only be appropriate when they do not concern truly exciting issues. this moment problems or events. If you go to bed on a full stomach in a poorly ventilated room, it is quite natural that you may have nightmares that essentially mean nothing and do not portend anything. Also, prophetic dreams cannot be dreamed and in a state alcohol intoxication or as a result of taking any psychotropic drugs or other medications. True dreams occur only under normal conditions and when you feel well. Often they are in no way connected with present reality, therefore, upon waking up, a person cannot build any logical chains in order to somehow interpret his own dreams.

In fact, dream books are not needed to interpret dreams, but it is important internal state the person himself, his emotions, feelings, intuition. Astrologers believe that when trying to understand the meaning of a particular dream, it is necessary to take into account the day on which it was dreamed, the phase of the moon and other factors. Often true dreams occur at a time in life when a person is experiencing some difficulties or going through serious changes. It is important to note that even unpleasant or downright scary prophetic dreams should not be taken too seriously and turned into an obsession, since this is just a tiny part of a person’s future, which can be interpreted in different ways, because a dream reflects, first of all, the internal state personality.

The most striking examples

The history of mankind knows many examples when someone managed to see a dream that was truly prophetic and significant in all respects. If you turn to the Bible, you can remember Joseph, to whom an angel came in a dream and ordered him to take Mary, pregnant with Jesus, to his house. Hecuba also had a prophetic dream. She dreamed that she gave birth to a torch that burned the entire city. To prevent the dream from coming true, her newborn son Paris was left far in the mountains, but he grew up and returned to Troy, meeting the beautiful Helen there.
