Is it possible that detailed dreams that are obviously from another time period are of past lives? And how would you know one way or another?

What does it mean when a dream is in a past era and incredibly detailed and takes place in real locations, but what happened in the dream does not match what happened in the known “real life” for that location?

Is it just that I had a very detailed dream that pulled locations from my memories as part of the general landscape, and doesn’t necessarily have anything to do with the “meaning” of the dream?

As for why these precognitive dreams happen… you probably have a wide open third eye chakra and are able to receive these precognitive dreams. Practice and your skill will further develop.

I listened to the podcast and read this article. My question has a twist. I had a dream 4.5 years ago. It had extreme significance. It was precognitive of a major world event, though I didn’t recognize it until after the event happened. I was even lucid through much of the dream. I tried to wake myself, and succeeded, only to go “back in”.

Your podcast got me thinking, though, that I would vary much like to go back to that dream and understand why I was given such a profound dream, that was obviously precognitive, but for which the outcome of the real event I could not realistically affect (trust me!).

And now that the event is past, I mostly want to know why, I suppose for my own development, I had the dream at all. This particular dream has similar qualities to other very profound lucid dreams that I had prior to that one and since then, but I would like to understand why I have had each one.

Is there a way to go back to those dreams and ask, even if they were a long time ago?

Can you comment, though this original blog post is archived?

And yeah, I sleep great at night. Transitioning from one dream to the next is easy for me. i can keep myself asleep and still program the next dream. It’s all advanced stuff.

I haven’t worked much at remembering my dreams, but for the most part, I only remember ones where I wake up right after them (or during them), or if I’m sleeping late in the morning and am sort of half sleeping / half awake.

I had a weird one a few weeks ago during that sleeping late time. I thought I was awake, but just not wanting to get up yet. Then I thought I heard someone come into my house (which would have been extremely unusual at this time of morning, and I was the only one home). I was even thinking that my 17 year old daughter must have come home for some reason, because I could have sworn I heard her plunk her backpack down and her TV go on. But she had gone to school like usual perhaps an hour earlier.

I tried to open my eyes and listen to who came in, but I couldn’t open them! I guess because I wasn’t really awake, but still dreaming. But it was so weird because I thought I was awake, and it was scary not to be able to open my eyes! Finally, I think I forced myself to turn over, and that woke me up for real. I listened closely for any signs of anyone in the house, but nope, no TV on, no sounds of anyone. I did get up at this point to make sure, but I was definitely the only one home.

Was very weird!

Thank you for these suggestions. My dream recall has come and gone over the years. I think I’ve found that my recall is best during times when I consistently write my dreams down in a journal.

I want to hear more about your techniques for programming a dream. I’ve tried dream incubation techniques in the past, but with no success.
