Ok... I thought if I ever have an intriguing dream or something, I will post it out here. I generally have a pretty sound sleep and most of my dreams revolve around my ambitions, some very important women in my life, my best friends, my work and so forth!
Im sure none of those will interest those here. But sometimes I have peculiar dreams. I try to make sense of most of my dreams with the logic and philosophy at my mind's disposal. Beyond that, ofcourse I can't do much! I have however had some dreams that I don't understand and those I want to post here, may be someone can interpret better and shed light.
Like all of you might know, I generally don't have the paranormal dreams and I have also never had personal experiences with most of the things discussed here - like aliens, orbs, ghosts, people with different animal heads etc.
I did dream of ghosts on a lot of occasions and woke up cold but I guess about 99% of us have those dreams. It is my belief or logical explanation that ghosts in dreams is a manifestation of our inner most fears and nothing more. The dream simply puts an object to describe your fear - a ghost.
HOWEVER... I have had some dreams - which are kind of weird and strange. Like I have a dream and it comes true.. or I have a dream that is coming or already has come true but I have no knowledge of. I never generally talk much about this except a mention to my parents or friends - if I have time and the mental orientation at that time that is.
I am never burdened by a sense of insecurity or worry of being considered a nut.. generally in India, you can discuss anything you want without being labelled as your term 'weird' or a 'nut'!!.. people in general are a 100 times more receptive and into the occult or paranormal stuff!.
In the following thread I will post my dreams and if anyone of you can help interpret them - where necessary - I will be very greatful! This is for future also. If I see a very weird dream - I will make sure to post it here.
I have had 2 dreams though - that are imprinted in my memory and hold significance. I will post those in the following posts here.
Regards, Srinivas

Dream 1:
This happened sometime ago. I was in the middle of an un-Indian city (Indian cities don't have huge skyscrapers - the maximum height is about 40 floors).
I was at a great altitude.. and it was a work place. I travelled to several countries as part of my work, so un-Indian city is nothing new to me. I was probably on the 90th floor or something.. pretty high. Then I saw places around me.. the buildings and all crumbling. I was excited (not in a good way - the worry sort of excited).
For some peculiar and illogical reason, I went to the terrace of that building. I saw buildings all around me, till the eye can see - crumbling. I suddenly realised it is an earthquake. My brain started working fast, I understood it is going to reach me very soon and I have to run down. Before I finished that thought, the building i am on, began to tremble.
I said to myself, it is over - I wish I could have seen mom and dad one last time! But to my amazement, the building started to descend veeeeeeeeery slowly onto the ground! I mean it is crumbling but a slow motion play.
I thought this is my opportunity. I ran and ran - 90 floors is a lot of distance! The floors I was going through were slowly crumbling and the building was empty with hardly a few people may be 4 or 5 running down. I suddenly saw a strange old lady. Never seen her before. She was a caucasian - lost her way and afraid. I told her, come with me. I grabbed her by her arm and started pulling her along with me on my way down. The old lady wasn't able to cope up with the speed and was slowing me down.. therefore I carried her downward - as usual in a dream - she was weightless!
After we ran a safe distance, the building crumbled. The we ran somewhere met people and all that. I don't remember how the dream ended. I wasn't shaken out of it - unlike say - a ghost dream.
I woke up in the morning. Sat at the dining table, got my breakfast and tea. I generally read the newspaper while I have breakfast. I was going through it.
The front page was full of Fukushima!
Regards, Srinivas

Dream 2: This - I think - happened a couple of years ago. I was in a train. Travelling I don't know where. In India, trains don't go at great speeds unlike some European countries or Japan or China. The top speed of a train is about 100 or 120 KmpH. I like standing at the door of the train, put my head out and let the wind hit my head. Even at 31 today, I still do that when I travel in a train Especially when we are passing through a bridge above a river I really like it, the sound of the metal on the bridge as we pass by with + the river below excites me. As kids we used to have fun by flipping coins into the river from the speeding train and see if the coins pass all the tresses of the bridge and hit the water. I do that even today! So we were approaching a river and I was standing at the gate/door. We were in the middle of the bridge. The bridge crumbled and esp. the compartment I am in, sunk into the wedge created by the broken bridge. The compartments fell in to the water. There was chaos. I somehow wriggled off of the compartment and swam outside. I came up the shore. I then walked up to an elevation. I could see people shouting and some of them drowning. That shook me. I woke up, had some water and slept off again. At the breakfast table, I saw the newspaper. I guess this happened in Uttar Pradesh. I can't remember now. A train derailed and some bogies fell in the river. While some on the ground - as some of the train crossed the bridge. It killed about 20-25 people. Regards, Srinivas

Thanks for posting these Srini. Sounds like you may have been dreaming about the events that were really happening. Either that or it is just a really weird coincidence. I suppose it could be either one. If dreams like that keep happening on a regular basis then it would be much more than just a coincidence. Lois always dreams about earthquakes before they occur. Maybe you are tuned into natural disasters also.

Interesting Srini . Though it was just a dream you stopped and carried the elderly woman risking your own life. That says a lot about you in many good ways !
It sounds to me like you're experiencing precognitive dreams which is something I know little about. Have you ever had things happen after having an intuition ? You may have abilities that you were unaware of perhaps. You are still young so I wouldn't be surprised if these dreams continue and you may even start experiencing this while being fully awake.
Thanks for sharing !

Hello Sky Id prefer to think it is coincidence than anything. These things have happened to me from time to time but definitely not on a regular basis. It happens some times and I go "whoaa.." that is it. Interesting Srini . Though it was just a dream you stopped and carried the elderly woman risking your own life. That says a lot about you in many good ways ! It sounds to me like you're experiencing precognitive dreams which is something I know little about. Have you ever had things happen after having an intuition ? You may have abilities that you were unaware of perhaps. You are still young so I wouldn't be surprised if these dreams continue and you may even start experiencing this while being fully awake. Thanks for sharing ! Hi Touched.. I don't know about that.. I never rescued anyone from the water! I guess its about the subconscious confidence I have. I used to be an athlete. I played Cricket for my univ., table tennis for my univ. and i played very good tennis.. a little bit of basketball, soccer n stuff like that. Carrying another person is very easy. Now swimming.. thats another story. I am not a very confident swimmer. I know how to swim.. but not great at it! This is all real life. I guess the same showed up in the dreams also. In case of the lady, carrying her isn't that much of a risk. But Im not that much of a swimmer therefore never helped anyone. If i analysed it by applying that logic.. I guess Im not such a warm soul afterall Have I ever experienced something after having an intuition?.. I will post the dream I have had just 4 days ago. Nothing significant at all but, hopefully if will answer this question. Regards, Srinivas

Dream 3:
This happened during this past week. May be on Monday or Tuesday.
It was night and I was in some alley. A pack of dogs - about 5-6 attacked me (we have stray dogs in India).
-------You can't kill them because of the animal rights reasons ------
I was trying to run, they catch hold of me. I was a little scared but was then confident that someone would see and help me.. in addition, what harm can it do. I just have to go the hospital when this is over with and get injection (i guess the anti-rabies one).
The dogs were biting me but there wasn't much pain. One dog held my forearm. I wriggled it off.. another catches my trousers or something like that. I was finally able to manage after i caught a dog and smashed hard against a gates iron grill.. that slowed the other dogs down and I was able to go past that gate and shut it.
I was riding my bike the next morning. Its rainy season and the sky was full of clouds so it is dark at 11 in the morning.. dark not like night.. but dark as say twilight.
One dog charged me head-on while I was on the bike and it then started chasing me. I generally know how to handle this because this happens to me all the time. The dog generally gets disturbed by the humming or roaring of the engine when you give it a throttle. The greater the roaring with throttle the more it excites or disturbs the dog. So we just have to not have a throttle and slow down and the dog(s) calm down.
I do this all the time. I did it this time and this thing wasn't calming down. It wanted to attack me. Sensing that.. I sped the vehicle. It ran after me for some time and then it gave up.
I hope this answers the question Touched? But I have to tell you, this happens very very occasionally with me. Not regular at all. Usually I am like "whoa..."
Regards, Srinivas

That sounds kind of like it may have been a precognative dream...where you dream of something that is going to happen in the future and then it happens. I have dreams like that all the time. They are never totally accurate though because there is a lot of symbolism in dreams so often it doesn't really make much sense. It could also have just been a coincidence. I would say that if they happen on a regular basis they would be premonitions, or if the details are ever totally accurate that would definitely be a premonition. That would be easy to recognize. If it only happens once in a while it might just be a coincidence. Hard to tell.

I'd put an equation to it.. ofcourse its just a guesstimate. Say I have 10 dreams.. about 2 of them are like this. Now would you call that regular or coincidence? Some of the dreams are too insignificant that we don't remember much at all after waking up. However some dreams just stick with me. And they stick more if they come true - obviously. For example, the dogs chasing me is a very insignificant one - UNTIL - a dog attacks me the next morning! Ofcourse we all like to romanticise the thought of being special abilities.. but I personally don't think I am that Regards, Srinivas

That's one I'd have to disagree with. Having flashes of premonition or seeing things that are usually disastrous..isn't a good thing in my book...much less romantic. Like an alien visitation..I think the only people who would actually want one..would be the ones who have never had one. It sounds to me like you are having dreams of events about to happen. As with most..they seldom make enough sense in a dream to warn anyone or in some cases..they cause you to jump in a wrong direction. I've had that happen more than once. The thing about them is..if you accept the idea..it will grow and you'll probably dream more and in other directions too. If you resist the idea then they may stop or just stay at the level they're at now. I know everyone has the ability locked inside themselves..some allow it and it grows..some are too busy to even notice much less be at peace with it.

"Id prefer to think it is coincidence than anything. These things have happened to me from time to time but definitely not on a regular basis. It happens some times and I go "whoaa.." that is it." - satansrini
To coincide - be in the same place at the same time - is often used [in English] as a word meaning "accidental" or "unrelated". But that is NOT what the word means or even implies. Often great effort has to go into having things coincide. Think about music, a symphony perhaps and how all parts have to arrive on certain notes with careful timing and practice. Or singing in harmony. When we say, "in harmony" no one assumes that is accidental. It may well be that our earlier (Western) view of the world as a group of systems that evolved independantly of each other has colored our use of the word coincide.
If one has a dream and then either personally or in the larger world place parts of what one has dreamed shows up....I personally think that is significant. What one should do about it - that is another matter. If a "future line" is strong enough that one can dream down it, it may well be unstoppable. BUT. There are always those people who, at the last minute, don't get on the Titanic or an airplane that later crashes. That take a different driving route home, therefore possibly avoiding an accident.
Operant magic had and has as its goal changing an outcome. It operates on the principle that from any moment there are many possible moments but once one is chosen the others cease to exist. Physics is beginning to prove that this is true - at least on a molecular level. Sometimes we get to see what we missed - but often not.
Often I have a premonition and don't act on it and it comes to pass. (I think a lot of people experience this). Then one has to say, "Could I have DONE anything differently? (If you don't like the outcome). Often the practical answer to this is, "No." One can do nothing about earthquake or crash dreams in which the actual location is not clear. Even if the location and time was stated (and it usually isn't) one STILL can't stop a plane from flying or the earth from shaking. That is a sorrow that people with strong ESP talents sometimes have to live with.
However one CAN chose to evaluate whether one wants to act on intuitions or pre-cognitive dreams or feelings in one's personal life. I remember once, I was a new driver and driving back at US freeway speeds along an 80 mile stretch between Austin and San Antonio. There are emergency lanes but places to get off the highway are far and few between. I was happily listening to the radio and planning the rest of my day. Suddenly I felt like I was driving from the top of the car (roof) and my arms were very long and reached to the steering wheel. I could no longer hear the radio. What I could hear was a soft strange new noise from my tires. After ignoring this for awhile, the feeling was so persistent that I exited the highway, found a place to park and crawled under my car. One of my new tires had a spray of metal fibers sticking out of it! I could barely see them but I could feel them - all along a line around the tire. The outer shell was separating and a blowout was moments away! I limped home on back roads and went to where I had purchased my tires. They said there had been a "bad shipment" and refunded the amount that still existed in my tread (I had been driving on them for about 2 months). Now I think that that was an inadequate response but I was younger then. If I hadn't listened to that intuition - I might not be typing this.
ESP is a gift. Whether you use it or leave it on the shelf is up to you (well...sometimes it insists on activating itself). You can always pray or meditate for the persons who might get caught up in what you see. Encourage them to stay safe. Some might get the message.

Great posts from you guys!
Paulette- that tire story is pretty scary- stuff like that has happened to me a LOT... I've managed to escape death on at least five different occasions- the first one I remember happened when I was probably about 7 years old... when I had to get out of bed to get a drink of water even though I wasn't thirsty... I was on the bottom bunk of a bunk bed. About four seconds after I got out of bed my sister's top bunk mattress fell through the bottom of her bed sending both my sister and her mattress straight down onto my bottom bunk mattress. I can still see my sister and her mattress bouncing up and down about four times in my memory mind's eye... wow...

I've had 'nudges' like that..things that caused me to not be where a bad thing happened but I've also had a couple of just stupid things too. One night my husband and I were out after work having a drink with the boss and dancing (years ago). I started getting 'that' feeling in my belly and it just got worse and worse until I was almost in a panic. I told my husband..I've got to get out of here..something is going to happen. We left and it did..pulled over by a cop for a headlight out..all the sudden I had a gun to my head because he had seen my husbands gun on the floorboard. He worked in a jewelry store and on the boss's orders..he carried a gun. Took hours to untangle that one. Then there was the spin out. My daughter and I were driving along it was misting..all the sudden it flashed before my eyes that we were about to hit an oil slick and spin out. In a fraction of a second..much too fast to stop it. Sure enough..we did exactly what I saw. I was grinning because I knew it would be fine. My daughter had exactly the same flash. So...sometimes..the universe does play odd tricks .

Hello Folks.. So I had this dream.. a very curious one.. may be those with experience can take a crack at it and tell me what it might be about I was at this calm, serene place.. which is a natural delight. There is this double storied house - our home. The consciousness in the dream is - we are three people in the house. Mom, myself and dad. The back-door of the house, at the kitchen leads you to a vast expanse of a place. I can't really call it 'back yard'.. it is more like a huge field or landscape and my home is in the middle of it. We (mother for the most part) is interested in gardening and growing things. But the whole landscape is full of flowers and plants and stuff. There were 2 big trees.. like the banyan trees. huge 2 or 3 metre trunks and several metres in hieght.. big trees. One is to my 2 o'Clock while I walkout of the backdoor and the other is at my 10 or 9 o' clock. The two trees are easily separated by 250 to 300 metres. The tree to my 2 o' clock is the closer tree to the house .. say at a distance of about 150 metres or about 450 feet. So I walk out of the door and am filled with delight, for the entire landscape from where I stand, to the tree and beyond is filled with flowers. They are all yellow flowers. Sunflowers, and the kind. The tree was also bearing huuuuuuuuuuge yellow flowers. These flowers were trumpet shaped. Like how a trumpet would look like - we have those trumpet shaped yellow flowers in the garden (in reality) but they are not huge.. they are about 2.5 inch in dia and may be 3 inch deep. Now in the dream, it was common place for me that the landscape is filled with sunflowers and the kind.. but.. it wasn't normal for the big tree to bear flowers. So I was excited and asked mom also to look at them which - while she was cooking or something saw out of the window.. I said, I am going to take photos and video.. so I took my phone (which is pretty good for photo and video shooting - domestic). I went out.. the other tree is also bearing the same flowers. So I photoed and videoed the trees and the landscape.. it was so beautiful the entire place.. I videod the house also. There was only our house and nothing around. Just the house and the beautiful landscape. And now I was videotaping the landscape and surroundings of the front portion of my house - from the back side. Now, There are hills - 3 of them. Big hills each easily over 500 metres high and they are all forested with trees. Not the bare stony mountains but the muddy hills with trees and greenery. Now about a 100 metres from the front of our house is a huge trench of whatever you call it, of great depth and it extended from left to right.. I don't remember seeing the end of it and the canyon - if I may call that is easily about 50 metres wide. The otherside is also lush green grass and what not. Our house is at almost the foothills of the 3rd mountain - which is about may be half a kilometre or at the max 750 metres from the house. Now the canyon or the trench begins also at the hill and therefore there is a narrow (10 feet) passage from the other side to the side of my house. As I was videotaping.. it was looking so beautiful. Front side of my house is all green with grass, trees, plants bearing flowers and so forth, while the back is filled with yellow. So as I was filming it and giving a commentary, I started seeing an elephant from afar. I started filming it saying it is an elephant. And in no time the number of elephants grew to about 4 or 5. And they were using that passage to come to this side of the house. That is when I was a little scared. Now in the meanwhile, I notice this.. dad is at the other tree - the one to my 10 o' clock.. I don't know what he was doing .. but he was just loitering there. Now as I look to this side, it was not just the elephants coming the passage, now it was also .. a lone lion and a black panther.. they were coming together along with the elephants. My father was totally oblivious to this and he was also not very far from them, may be a few hundred metres. Now as I look at it, I wasn't scared that much as there were elephants and they generally thwart any aggression by the Lion or the Panther. Then I don't know what happened, the elephants disappeared or were gone. I just couldn't see them. But the lion and the wolf (which sort of was a big thing, about 3.5 feet to the shoulder - like you find the wolves in the very cold and snowy places) were coming closer.. they almost crossed (a few metres away) the passage into our part of the land. Dad is still just looking and the trees and doing what not except notice them. The lion was a little behind and the wolf (which was earlier black panther) was closer to our side. I started frantically shouting to dad to come home.. quickly.. and dad was very casual and cool, he wasn't even look back, and he was not even hearing me 100%. While this was going on, the wolf approached very close to dad.. like it was 10 metres away from him. I was scared and I was just screaming helplessly.. a couple of tears down my eyes.. but was not going towards him (shameless me). And the wolf now approached him closer.. probably 5 or 6 feet, dad then noticed and he starts fooling around with it, and still is very casual about it. Now the wolf again changes to black panther. The lion by the way is far away.. easily about 75 metres from action and just walking slowly. And then dad started running. Probably he finally sensed danger. Before he covered some 3 to 4 metres, the panther pounced on him. At this point, dad for some strange reason changed to a Tiger!!!!! Like the big Indian tiger. It obviously took him a couple of mins, seconds actually.. he pounced on the panther, bit its neck and it was dead. Seeing this, the lion started making paces. A Tiger easily kills a lion so I wasn't very scared. But.. as soon as the Panther died, the Tiger became dad again! So I asked dad to run towards home.. he was about 10 metres from home.. I was standing by the door waiting for him, so we could immediately shut the door.. and the Lion is gaining on him.. and I stretched outside the door for about 2 metres so I could grab him once he is closer and then shut the door. The lion is still gaining on him.. running towards us.. and dad is running.. he is now very close .. almost at the door.. the lion is close too.. just about 2 metres behind dad.. My body went cold and woke up from the dream. Regards, Srinivas

We have the most beautiful and serene setting..lush flowers..not only abundant but much more profound than would ever be.. A perfect garden setting that delights you and those you love are there to share this amazing thing. Much like life...reality invades in the form of predators..threatening the pefection of the scene. Is your father ill perhaps or perhaps some bit of prophecy in your mind..sees a threat to him that is showing in your dream. It seems that way to me. You are with your mother enjoying this beauty and serenity..your dad is removed..apart from the two of you and becomes the target of the predatory beasts which keep multiplying..tigers..wolves..panthers representing serious danger or death. I see this as some threat or illness to your father.

May be it is something else..... but the dream was sort of strange though...

If there is some threat to him he seemed to fight it off ok in the beginning when he turned into a tiger. He might have been able to do it again if the lion had caught up to him. I don't really know what to make of this dream because I'm not real good at interpreting dreams. I have had dreams before where my dad's house caught on fire and burned down and I was really worried that something was going to happen to him in real life...but nothing has so far. Maybe it was just a dream. People who don't have premonitions and visions of the future may not realize it but one of the worst things about having those abilities is not being able to tell the difference between a premonition and a dream. I have had a lot of dreams that ended up coming true, so if I have a dream that something bad is going to happen it will often drive me nuts because I don't know if it really is going to or not. Premonitions do keep me out of trouble every now and then but sometimes I wonder if it might not be better to not have them at all.
