Psychic Knowledge? Or a Subconscious Detective? |

So if you have a dream about an event that actually comes true, how do you know whether your dream was truly psychic insight or simply a coincidence? Is it possible that your subconscious mind picked up on certain clues, processed the information, and fed it back to you in your dreams? Ask yourself questions such as these before you decide whether or not your dream was truly prophetic: |
|
|
|
 |
|
|
|
|
Did I receive any warnings (from other people or from the media) before I went to sleep that might have triggered my dream? |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Could I have subconsciously incorporated external noises I heard or other information I received while dreaming? |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Have I ever dreamed of this topic before? (Dreams with similar themes may be common for you. If so, the odds dictate that sooner or later your dreams are bound to coincide with real life.) |

|
|
Were there any unique details of the dream that identify the event in my dream as the specific event that actually occurred? |

Knowing ahead of time that your dream will definitely come true is a rare occurrence. Only people who have had substantial experience with discerning their dreams can say without a doubt that they have seen the future. Unless you have a special gift for prophetic dreaming, you will probably have a difficult time accurately forecasting which dreams are true and which aren't. If you notice that you quite frequently have dreams that later come true, pay attention to any patterns that accompany these dreams, such as the way you feel upon waking from the dream or how clearly you recall the dream. Also, be certain to keep dated records of the dreams as soon as they happen, and share them with understanding people, who can support your documentation and also help you recognize patterns. |

If you can't accept that dreams come from a psychic source that simply hands you insight on a proverbial silver platter, you can apply certain principles to help you get to the bottom of your subconscious messages. A leading spokesperson on the topic of dreams is that so-called ''Man of Miracles," Edgar Cayce, who felt that individuals should take an active role in pursuing the impact of their dreams. He believed the purpose of dreams was to build up the mental, spiritual, and physical well-being for the "self-edification" of the body. |

Cayce proposed that in order to interpret your dreams properly, you must study and know yourself completely. First, get to know how you feel about your dreams and what they can do for you. You must decide for yourself the purpose and function of each |
