Another Meteor Dream. Why don't we see it? - 07/25/2010

Rather a statement. "A meteor is coming straight towards earth. Why don't you see it?" That is all I remember of the dream. Then I started thinking maybe we do have blind spots of areas in space, from earth- like a meteor coming from behind the sun or a meteor coming from behind the moon...don't know.
Update 10/12/2010: Not just a meteor a whole friggin' galaxy! "Evidence shows that the Milky Way and neighboring Andromeda Galaxy are spiraling towards each other." (Discovery Channel 10/12/2010).

Update 11/21/2013: There was a NOVA TV documentary about how we are severely lacking knowledge of the number of small but dangerous asteroids that could hit earth at anytime and there is an effort to remedy that because on 2/15/2012 there was a meteor over Russia that blew out windows of buildings...bit of a wake up call. No one saw it coming because it came from the direction of the sun. Telescopes are blinded by the bright sun.

The Chelyabinsk meteor was a Near-Earth asteroid that entered Earth's atmosphere over Russia on 15 February 2013 at about 09:20 YEKT (03:20 UTC), with an estimated speed of 18.6 km/s (over 41,000 mph or 66,960 km/h), almost 60 times the speed of sound.[1] It quickly became a brilliant superbolide meteor over the southern Ural region. The light from the meteor was brighter than the sun. It was observed over a wide area of the region and in neighbouring republics. Eyewitnesses also felt intense heat from the fireball.
Due to its enormous velocity and shallow atmospheric entry angle, the object exploded in an air burst over Chelyabinsk Oblast, at a height of about 23.3 km (14.5 miles, 76,000 feet). The explosion generated a bright flash, producing many small fragmentary meteorites and a powerful shock wave. The atmosphere absorbed most of the object's energy, with a total kinetic energy before atmospheric impact equivalent to approximately 500 kilotons of TNT (about 1.8 PJ), 20–30 times more energy than was released from the atomic bomb detonated at Hiroshima.
The object was undetected before its atmospheric entry and its explosion created panic among local residents. About 1,500 people were injured seriously enough to seek medical treatment. All of the injuries were due to indirect effects rather than the meteor itself, mainly from broken glass from windows that were blown in when the shock wave arrived, minutes after the superbolide's flash. Some 7,200 buildings in six cities across the region were damaged by the explosion's shock wave, and authorities scrambled to help repair the structures in sub-zero (°C) temperatures.

The problem with these dreams is that even if they are predictive I have learned I don't know the context of the dream until it really happens. There have been several dream occurrences where the dream has come true but it is totally in a different situation than my first impressions after having the dream. The other problem is that objects in a dream can symbolize something else. This symbolism in dreams has been well documented by Freud and other psychologist types. Makes it very hard to interpret. What is cool is that it is predictive of the future. What is consistent in all my "predictive" dreams is that I must experience the dream in real life through direct sight, internet articles, or other media. The dreams are a part of my future existence. I believe the fact that I am predicting experiences in my future is a huge step forward in understanding why and how we exist. Darwin's theory was that we exist from what has happened in the past- evolution. What I believe now is that our abilities are not dependent on just the past. I believe we and all living, conscious things can predict what our future holds in store for us (carefully chosen words based on my previous Marcas Major publishings ):-).

Our existence is dependent on our ability to predict the future. In fact, my definition of "consciousness" is the ability to predict the future!. Chew on that for a while!

It kind of makes sense. Why would our genes go to all the trouble of storing patterns of successes and failures if they didn't know that a future for them existed. What would be the point of storing those patterns if we are not aware of out future?

Other dreams that I have had lately are:

Red haired kid screaming like he was being told something devastating. I interpreted it as he was told his mother died and they were going to have to send to an orphanage/foster home.
There was one more dream I had last night but can't remember it right now.
