Two Memorable Dreams on 5/28 "The Living Dead" and 5/29/2012 "Obama Tells Me to ask for a Raise!"

On 5/28/2012 I had a dream where an early 1900s house rises out of the ground deep in the forest. People come out of the house and start living their daily lives as if nothing bizarre ever happened. I talked to one of the inhabitants- a lady in her thirties. She asked me why I came here. I told her I was born in a similar place north of where we were speaking. She nods knowingly and goes about her business. Also, my mind was telling me in the dream there were rumors about the inhabitants of this odd house having special powers. The house became known as "The Living Dead".

I don't think this was a predictive dream. This dream stems from a visit to Murray, Idaho in the heart of the Gold Rush in Northern Idaho around 1875 or so. I found out from my tour of a museum in Murray, Idaho, the Guggenheim's sponsored  a monster river dredge to capture enough gold from Murray, Idaho to the Montana border to fund the building of the Empire State Building in New York. The Guggenheim's river dredge left an awful mess of piled boulders on the side of the river after the dredging process but did get enough money from the dredged gold to build the Empire State Building in New York. The bar/museum where the gold rush artifacts are is in the "ghost town" of Murray, Idaho. My dream is just replaying my subsconscious impression of the people still living there and running the "ghost town's museum".

My subconscious mind's impression of the real people running the Murray, Idaho's "ghost town" museum, still way out in the Idaho woods, is "The Living Dead". The winter's must have been really long and boring way out in the Idaho woods. One of the original owner's of the bar and now museum whittled a fairly large, unbroken chain of 120 wooden links during one of these long winters. This chain of wooden links still meanders along the ceiling rafters of the bar and museum today! The fact the "Empire State Building" was built from the gold money dredged out of a remote Idaho river is a fascinating bit of US history I wasn't aware of, as well.

Update 6/2/2012: The dream I had in blog "Strange but Memorable Dream 03/20/2012" seems to be related to my real life"Murray, Idaho" experience. The dream described in this blog and the dream I had on 03/20/2012 definitely match in two places with the plowing of a deep trench in Idaho and my concern over what would now be considered a careless act (leaving the mess of boulders the dredge left on the side of the river side from Murray, Idaho to Montana. The monster river dredge was  certainly not an environmentally "green" action by today's standards.

**************
On 5/29/2012 I had a face to face conversation (in my dream) with Obama on the campaign trail. I told him I was a part time school teacher and he told me to ask for a raise because it had already been approved in the government's budget.

This was an odd, memorable dream. It is out of context with what I am currently doing in real life so I suspect it is predicting some future event. I don't understand the context of this predictive dream but need to note the key words for future reference. When the actual future event predicted by this dream occurs I should recognize key words from this dream such as "face to face", "conversation", "Obama", "campaign", "trail", "raise" and "education".

Update 4/9/2014: The following article matches key words in the dream I had on 5/28/2012 regarding inequality in pay for women versus men and the attempt to allow contractors to openly discuss their current compensation with others.

"WASHINGTON — President Obama used his executive power and a hot-button issue to try to stoke support from a key election-year constituency Tuesday, as he issued two directives aimed at ensuring federal contractors pay women as much as men for equal work.

Surrounding himself with female supporters at the White House, Obama signed an executive order prohibiting federal contractors from retaliating against employees who talk about how much money they make. Advocates say secrecy about salaries is a major contributor to the gap in average pay between male and female workers in the United States, which the White House says means women make 77 cents for every dollar earned by men.
The president also ordered contractors to report data to the government showing the compensation paid to employees by gender and race..."

 

Dream May 14th: A two garbled word phrase: Princek Acid. What comes to mind?

Princek Acid. What comes to my mind is "Prince Eric" and "A kid". Really short dream but memorable. Let me go look out on the web right now to see if there really is a "Prince Eric" out there and if he is planning to have "A kid" any time soon...Hmm. There is a "Prince Eric" in Disney's "Little Mermaid".

Also, typing in "Princek Acid" in the search window came up with a "Command and Conquer" video game character named "Prince Kassad". Never knew that.

What this dream means I have no idea. All I know is I will most likely experience the same phrase in a more meaningful context in the future. I will experience "Deja Vu" at that future point and say to myself, "I have heard that phrase before somewhere!"

What is really interesing to me is how the mind is working. A month or two ago I was reading a Scientific American magazine while waiting to get a haircut. The article stated researchers are trying to create a "Neural" computer to match how neurons in the brain work

The structure of a neuron has multiple branches protruding from each neuron cell. These branches connect to other neuron cells and create  a web of linked electronic impulses between several neuron cells at once. It is believed these multiple connections between neuon cells enables the incredibe pattern matching capabilities our brains have.

Current computers are much more serial in their processing of input data. Serial processing of input data results in very poor pattern matching abilities but amazing speed in accurate mathmatical calculations. The other problem with most current computers is the fact they must be force fed input data. When you put "garbage data" into a computer you get "garbage data" out. Our brains get an over abundance of input data from our day to day lives with a lot of it being "garbage". Our brain's pattern matching abilities allow for natural and speedy filtering of the "garbage data" input."Brain washing" can occur if an individual is subjected to an intense barrage of "garbage data" for long periods of time. A well known marketing concept. :-)

Each person has their own set of experiences stored in their brains. Pattern matching of random phrases from dreams will be different for each person on the planet based on each person's previous experiences in life.

The fact my mind interpreted "Princek Acid" as "Prince Eric" and "A kid" comes from my past experiences in my daily life watching "Little Mermaid" with my kids! Each person's predictive dreams have to be experienced by the individual having the predictive dream.

My brain is picking up future experiences. Predictive dreams always relate to future experiences- sometimes in a minimal way (like when I see the key words in a future news story matching a phrase from a dream I had). Other times the predictive dreams affect me in the future in a very personal, detailed way (like an emotionally memorable event I experience weeks or months after having a very clear, detailed dream predicting those real life, personal events).

Bottom line is the brain is able to tap into a dimension that has less regard to space or time as we know it. It is flagging future events that will probably occur within our own future, limited space and time.

It is too bad we have not yet been able to act on these alerts our brains are sending us. It is like ignoring alerts from a radar detector when it detects a radar speed trap in your near future, real life, driving experience!

On the other hand, without the real life context to frame the meaning of a predictive dream it really is very difficult to understand what our brains are trying to alert us about. The brain throws out key words or phrases predicting events and that is all. How these words and phrases apply to our real lives in the future is not given. All our brains seem to be picking up are important patterns in a soup of future words and phrases.

Does this mean our lives are pre-destined and predictable enough so our brains can look out for specific types of future events affecting our lives? Are we pre-wired for a specific future "pattern" of events in out lives? Is our destiny predetermined?

Currently in our world, each person's future experiences are not as easily captured as speed trap radar frequencies. Until the real life event happens how are we supposed to know what predictive dreams mean? All we see at first in the predictive dreams are the relationships between words we already have stored in our minds from previous real life experiences. Why would patterns we have noted from our past affect our future? Why is our body storing a complex pattern of genes to be repeated in future generations of "Little Me"?

Maybe some genius will come up with a way we can better interpret cryptic, predictive dreams we all have in a faster way so we can prepare for future events before they happen if that is even possible.

Stating the problem is half way to a solution to the problem.

Do you agree?

Dream - April 30th Mountain Biking, Business Suits and Mud

Had a dream last night (4/30/2012). Part of it was because my neighbor asked me if I had ever gone down a ski hill on a mountain bike. I had told him no because it scared me but I may try some day.

That night I had a dream I was mountain biking down a hill and was proud of my accomplishment after speeding across a muddy mountain stream and on to a small concrete foot bridge...then there was the really memorable part of the dream.

I was walking my bike across the foot bridge, I looked back at the muddy stream and noticed two women scooping up mud and discretely spreading the mud across their bare chests underneath what appeared to be quite nice business suits! It was if these women were sure the mud had some sort of healing powers (to prevent breast cancer?).

Very odd but memorable!

Update 6/30/2012: Just visited Glacier National Park and surrounding area in Montana. Definitely noticed key words from this dream in my real life experience in Montana today. Specifically "a small concrete foot bridge...across a muddy (spring glacial runoff) mountain stream", "women...quite nice business suits". The Kalispell, Montana area appears to have a lot of rich people escaping from their crazy lives in California and elsewhere. This area of Montana is a place of  "healing" for a lot of burned out business people! It is interesting this real life event occurred exactly two months after the dream to the day! I took a picture of the foot bridge. Looked very much like this in my dream!

Dream - May 24th, 2012

Had a dream I was traveling by foot with family and friends across wide open spaces. A range of mountains was clearly visible in the distance. We arrived at what appeared to be a ranch with a cluster of sage green buildings. It was a fairly new cedar siding house with other smaller buildings around it.
Not sure what it means.

Update June 30th, 2012: Another example, to the day, one month later of key word matches to a real life experience. I had to be in this building in Montana on Sunday June 24th, 2012 to start a week long watercolor painting workshop with a famous artist named Gary Spetz. The above picture was where I stayed with other very friendly artists to paint "wide open" landscapes from what I learned were probably from nearby  Glacier National Park. Not sure if the building is cedar but it is definitely cedar colored and has small cabins surrounding it. It is a Presbyterian Retreat for young teenagers. They have a lot of weddings there, as well. Included one of my paintings I did during the week of June 24th, 2012- exactly one month after the May 24th dream occurred. I had no idea what this place looked like before I got there. Fascinating! Montana is known for its "wide open spaces".  I have never been to Montana before. Just noticed the roof is "sage green" in color. Mountains are visible in the distance from the retreat's deck. Glacier National Park is a must see!
