I woke up at 3:00 AM on 12-13-2014. The dream I was having right before I woke up was fresh in my mind.
My logical mind started working on the puzzling, symbolic set of images and phrases from the dream as it always does. My logical mind tries to make sense of the puzzling, cryptic array of subconscious images and phrases I remember from my dreams.
The dream involved another famous Microsoft President, Steve Ballmer. In my dream, Steve was under investigation for his wacko behavior lately..,.in my dream. The court "authorities" finally dragged the truth out of Steve and found out he had secretly been worshiping and laying out gifts to a super, god-like race of darker skinned people in a secret chamber dugout deep in the earth. The phrase my subconscious used to describe the super, god-like race of darker skinned people was "Panacea".
Remember, this is my dream and some of the images and phrases are very odd. For instance, the "dugout" chamber was near one of Steve Ballmer's baseball team's "dugouts" in a baseball stadium!
The word "Panacea" must be familiar to me from a previous real life experience but I don't remember what it means right now. That isn't the way to interpret subconscious phrases though. You have to phonetically sound out the "subconscious" meaning of the phrase. What my subconscious wants me to remember is the phrase "Panna See Yah"!
I have noticed my subconscious uses images or phrases I am very familiar with from my previous real life experiences to relay "messages" in dreams it wants me to remember and try and understand the real meaning of. A baseball "dugout" is a familiar term to me. The subconscious mind uses that familiar term to relay an unfamiliar, possibly future prediction of a real life event in my life time to me.
The dream I just blogged before this one was about a message involving "Bill Gates" and the word "Hauppauge", which are both familiar to me from previous, real life experiences. I worked at Microsoft for the past 16 years, full time and as a contractor. The word "Hauppauge" was familiar to me because I had previously purchased and installed a cable TV board into my desktop computer made by a company called "Hauppauge" so I could watch analog TV on my home computer.
In the previous blog my subconscious again used images of people and phrases I was very familiar with to portray concepts I was not very familiar with...being "posh"! The spell checker in this blog red-lined my initial misspelling of the "Hauppauge" company name so hopefully it is correctly spelled now.
So I wake up at 3:00 AM on 12-13-2014 and my logical brain becomes a little irritated at my subconscious. I start thinking....
"Why am I dreaming so much about Microsoft Executives? It isn't like I met these famous people a lot in real life, up close and personal. I don't remember ever meeting them formally face-to-face. Just in company meetings in an audience with thousands of people attending.
My logical mind immediately picks up what it believes the subconscious is trying to get me to understand from the images of "Bill Gates" and "Steve Ballmer". They are famous and have great responsibility for the current state of modern mankind!
Okay, the images of Bill Gates and Steve Ballmer in my dreams are making logical sense to me now.
What about the word "Panacea"? I will look up the literal meaning online but I know it isn't important to my dream. The phonetics of the word are..."Panna See Yah".
My logical mind is getting pretty good at interpreting these cryptic, subconscious phrases in my dreams. My logical mind starts iterating through "logical" phrases of "Panna See Yah" based on my previous, real life experiences and similar dreams...
"Panacea"
"Pana See Yah"
"Panic! See You!'
My logical brain stops right there and says, "Wait a minute. You had a previous dream about crashing a plane in an area of sandy desert. You saw a tall, dark skinned race that reminded you of Mowgli in the Disney movie "Jungle Book". An extremely tall, lanky, dark skinned race wearing nothing but a fur, loin skin and carrying what appeared to be a primitive spear." Reference blog "June 12, 2013 Dream about what humans could like in the future."
Furthermore, I felt a bit of "panic" when I witnessed these images in my previous dream of 6/12/2013. Like I wasn't supposed to be seeing this tall, dark skinned race! A mini-Mowgli ran up to me with a primate "X" signed made of two crossed sticks connected together with rawhide to indicate I must not follow this great, loin skinned person in my dream if I knew what was good for me!"
Even freakier, my logical brain reminded me I have just recently been watching a TV series on the "Weather Channel" called "In Search of Giants"! This TV show is about two brothers going around the US from Catalina Island to the Ozark Mountains searching for physical evidence (bones, skulls) of an unknown species of humans that were over 8 feet in height and had double rows of teeth in their huge skulls! The final couple of episodes revealed their belief these "super humans" may have been an inter-breeder with modern man.
Conclusion:
My logical brain concluded my subconscious is predicting this proposed super human race of giants will be found to be of great historical importance and will be found to have had great influence on the current state of mankind! Note: Just received a copy of the latest National Geographic magazine. Front cover article is all about the latest findings regarding the first native North Americans. Is it just a coincidence I have a dream regarding the first native North Americans right before I get the National Geographic magazine also featuring the latest information on the first native North American humans?
I don't think so.
My logical brain also noted the fact the date of this dream, 12-13-2014, is a date screaming out "around the 12th or 13th!!!!". The number 13 has been of great significance in my life's journey for some reason. Significant, real life events happen to me around the 12th or 13th day of any given month! One dream I had proposed my whole life revolves around the number 12 or 13. I noticed the previously referenced dream of "Mowgli" type super humans happened on "June 12, 2013"...There is a freaky numbers game going on with the days of the month, specifically 12 and 13, right?...or am I going crazy???
Too freaky for me to handle. I would go crazy trying to pay attention to every day details proving my whole life revolves around one or two numbers but the pattern of significant, real life events around the 12th or 13th of each month keeps popping up so it is hard to completely ignore!
The word "Panacea" usually means a "Universal remedy"...something to heal all ills. According to Wikapedia there are a whole family of Greek Gods that were known for their special, universal healing skills! Reference: family http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panacea.
Update 01/14/2015:
National Geographic Magazine cover for the January 2015 "How a Tiny 12,000-Year Old Teenager Became the First American". This issue is all about what we know right now about who the first Americans looked like and where they came from based on mounting evidence that the continental plates were all once connected to each other allowing some movement by humans across connected continental bridges that no longer exist.
I have had dreams a few weeks before covering the same key words on the next month's release of National Geographic Magazine. It keeps happening so I must be picking up some vibes from the editors of the magazine before they release the issue in my dreams...Very odd.
I looked up the name of the original connected continents they claim the first Americans crossed to get to North America because I knew it was close to the sound of the "Panacea" word in this dream. You have to admit Pangaea is close to what the word "panacea" I thought I heard in my dream.
No wonder I had a recent dream where my subconscious was identifying the fact I am not very good at getting the details right!!!
Pangaea or Pangea (/pænˈdʒiːə/[1]) was a supercontinent that existed during the late Paleozoic and early Mesozoic eras.[2] It formed approximately 300 million years ago and then began to break apart after about 100 million years.[3] Unlike the present Earth, much of the land mass was in the Southern Hemisphere. Pangaea was the first reconstructed supercontinent and it was surrounded by a super ocean, known as Panthalassa.
I am writing about this dream almost exactly one month later on the night of 1/14/2014 after the dream I had on 12/13/2014. Another interesting, recurring pattern.
I can't remember all the details of this dream. I believe I was looking for a job. I was reviewing jobs and came across something open for the Gates Foundation. I heard a voice in the background say...
"If you want to help Bill Gates you need to learn "Haupauge"!"
I remember the phonetics of the odd word "Howoooposhshshsh"
No idea what it means.
I will look online to see if I find anything that makes sense.
Hah! Found it.
Makes total sense.
I've learned the subconscious speaks in a cryptic, phonetic, baby language. Often, the logical mind has a hard time interpreting subconscious messages in dreams.
The vast knowledge store on the internet often helps me find what my subconscious is trying to say to me in my dreams
I think the following video is totally marvelous! Howoooposhshshsh!
You have to watch the video to understand that comment. :-)
Conclusion: My subconscious was telling me, through this dream, I need to learn how to act "posh" to get a job helping Bill Gates.
Trying to act posh would be a huge effort for me I'm afraid to say. I'm from a small mining town in Canada.

This video is about the way posh people speak in the UK. Being 'posh' typically implies that you are from a wealthy family that is very traditional in its practices and outlook and usually means that you were privately educated and went to a school where there were fees to pay.
My dream was fairly simple. A rather pale girl about 14 or so with straw colored hair (whitish blonde to be exact).
All she wanted to do was play a simple board game with her.
A voice inside me was saying you need to encourage her to pass over to the other side.
So I played the game and encouraged her to follow the light...like I saw on TV. :-)
I told her she would be happier on the other side and people would be there to greet her.
The dream ended and I felt satisfied I had helped her.
Never had a dream like that before. But then I had another ghost dream the following night on 11/24/2014.
The 11/24/2014 dream was with a different "entity". It is was a flashy young girl about 25 or so. She was in a short, vibrant red dress on...definitely your aggressive, Type A personality.
She said she was sent down from "above" to help guide me but she what she really wanted to personally do while she was visiting me was to get in a hot car and drive with the "metal to the pedal" on a long, winding rode!
I tell you right now, this isn't me talking...
Anyway, we got in a car in my dream and started driving. The dream morphed into driving to visit my mother. On the way we stopped at a gas station and to my surprise John Lennon from the Beatles were playing an impromptu concert there. I thought that was cool but, as you may know, John Lennon is no longer with us in real life.
So we drove for awhile and it seemed like a frivolous way to spend my time so I asked her what this was all about since my mom already had passed away, as well.
She said something funny and I laughed.
Then she said, "All I wanted to really do was see you smile!"
Now that was genuinely sweet. Brings a tear to my eye.
Apparently, I haven't been smiling enough lately.
I know I have been too concerned with unimportant things in the past few days.
Thank you Angel with the Red Dress On!
On the night of 11/25/2014 I had a dream I can't remember too well.
What stood out is I was excited about seeing something and called my wife over to come take a look.
She was holding a baby in her arms. We are now too old to have kids. Maybe this is a glimpse at a future grandchild! :-)
I have had these types of dreams at least two or three times each year for several years. In this version of the dream I was walking around a neighborhood. I was very tired so I took off my jacket, rolled it up for a pillow and took a nap on someone's lawn in the neighborhood. Not something I would typically do but makes the dream memorable!
The people in the house were very upset. The lady of the house came out to see what was going on and the man was yelling at me in the background from inside the house to get off their lawn. Then they figured out I was a ghost! That really freaked the man out. He hit his head hard on something in the house.
One thought I have is maybe when I dream I violate a parallel universe and walk around the parallel neighborhood as a ghost. The consistent "freak out" factor I have on the people in these dreams makes me think it is more than just a dream.
I actually feel bad about scaring people in another world when I wake up from these dreams.
I had an interesting dream on 10-12-2014. A very clear message was announced. "Genes enable you to do things." As the dream progressed it was clear there was an attempt to customize a large number of genes in humans in the future to "allow humans to do things." A simple statement with an unknown effect on future generations. I found this dream to be a bit disturbing.
Update: On the night of 10-15-2014 I watched the latest episode of a TV show called "The Black List". It was all about secret, government funded projects identifying people with a specific "Super Warrior" gene that set the people having the gene off on a wild killing rampage.
Had a similar situation after a dream earlier in the summer...my logical brain is simply telling me the dream I had on 10-12 matches the real life TV show I watched three days later...some genes enable you to do things". Sometimes very bad things according to the latest "The Black List" episode.
Definitely a "Birthday Phenomena" event since the dream occurred on the 12th of the month when I noticed real life events I dream of happen around that date.
I had a memorable dream 09-27-2014. The Melinda Gates Foundation implemented a new screen to identify health issues in a person by scanning a persons hand with some sort of light emitting device. My logical brain assumed it was for arthritis. Since it was just images of hands being scanned I am not limiting the hand scanning device to just arthritis identification.
Interesting.
I am prompted to grab the key words for hidden, subconscious gibberish meanings like...
Melinda Gates Foundation...Mlnda Gts Fnd Ation.
Melinda gets found Asian??? Melinda gets foundation??
Interesting twist of meaning from speaking subconscious gibberish.
screen, health issues, scanning, hand, light emitting device, arthritis
scrn hlth scnr lt emting,dvce arthrts...nothing obvious in gibberish there.
It was just a quick image of a dumping ground for three or four spent multistage rocket sections on the moon or some other alien planet. They were very large and appeared to have an exterior color of white.
Is this a future vision of our moon after all the privately owned rockets start crowding our galaxy or could it be a glimpse of an alien planet with similar technology as our own?
I don't know. Not much to go on with the quick image of what appeared to be a multistage rocket dumping ground.
I need to research the dates the NCIS "Ethos" episode and the next NCIS episode after that one was
filmed.
The odd thing I found out after I posted "08-12-2014 Dream about Ethos" blog is the fact the NCIS captain's father died in real life after he filmed the NCIS "Ethos" episode I watched on the night after I had the "Ethos" dream on 8-12-2014. I don't know when the NCIS "Ethos" dream was actually filmed. I was startled by the fact the very next episode of NCIS was all about the NCIS captain's father passing away and then at the end of the show they dedicated the episode to him because he really did pass away!
Odd. Right? I have a dream about Ethos the night before I even know what Ethos means, the very next night I watch an NCIS episode all about Ethos and the next week I found out the main actor in the NCIS "Ethos" episode past away right after acting in the NCIS "Ethos" episode in real life!
When you start noticing patterns between your dreams and strong references to guidance from people who are no longer with us it is really pretty hard to ignore.
My logical mind is telling me there has to be "resources" beyond our existing three dimensional world our subconscious minds can tap into to help guide us through emotional, future events we experience in real life.
I'm thinking these "out of this world resources" our subconscious taps into can help prepare us to survive future, often highly emotional, events we experience in our journey through life.
.
Not sure if these dreams are predictive or not. Full of symbolism. I will probably have to research some of the key words online to figure these two dreams out.
8/20/2014 Dream
On early morning of 8/20/2014 I remember being in a quaint neighborhood with nice, full grown deciduous trees bordering both sides of the street. I seem to be a tourist in the neighborhood sight seeing.
A series of 10 to 12 foot blue paper dragonflies kept wisping past me like kites falling from a low height. After about the third or fourth paper dragonfly wisped by me the situation became far worse.
All of a sudden a helicopter came barreling out of control at me on the same street. To avoid the crashing helicopter I had to race down a steep side street and barely dodged a large piece of the helicopter body as it rolled at a high speed down the steep side street past me. I remember the helicopter body was a bare metallic silver.
Scary. I really have no idea what this dream means at this time.
********
8/22/2014 Dream
The second dream on 8/22/2014 was after I had watched a silly Nickelodeon kid's show before I went to bed . I believe this silly show was a catalyst for the 8/22/2014 dream.
The 8/22/2014 dream was in a theater. There was a large stage below the rectangular theater with tiered seats on the back and two sides of this theater. The stage was a good distance below where I was sitting. It was a very clear and detailed dream. The stage looked like a large shoe box. It was very much like a hand puppet stage but much larger- a full theater sized stage was inside the puppet like box structure.
The people around me appeared to be from the Victorian era. The lady in back of me was in a box seat. She seemed to be royalty or upper class with fancy hair and a lot of makeup. There were two actors standing right by the stage but at floor level- not on the stage. They waved to us. I thought one of them looked like my neighbor but I looked a little harder and it was not a man like my neighbor. It was a woman dressed up to be a man in the play.
The lady in front of me was so far forward in the theater she really could not clearly see the puppet like stage. She had to crane her neck back towards my seat. She said, "Well, the floor manager is certainly going to hear about this!"
She was more common and had what looked like a long, blue corduroy jumper type dress with a long sleeved blouse under it...if that makes sense. I'm not into woman's fashions.
The 8/22/2014 dream was clearly from another time like the 1800 or 1900s.
Some man kept saying "CSA CSA CSA" over and over again in almost a silly tone. Very loud.
I felt silly and out of place.
The 8/22/2014 dream might be a theater like experience in my future. It should be pretty obvious to match this dream to a real life theater experience because of the clarity of the Victorian era images I had in my dream.
I just thought of something...maybe the silly man was saying "Ceasar! Ceasar!". Not sure.

Research Update 8/24/2014:
I found fascinating pattern matches from internet searches on my two dreams' key words - dragonfly, helicopter crash, and Civil War. References in the first dream's internet article of a famous Civil War Colonel's name - Samuel Jackson pointed me to other internet articles revealing the fact the famous Civil War Colonel, Samuel McCartney Jackson, was born on the exact same month and day I was born on.
Maybe there are channels of time and space that bend to reveal glimpses of past and future events to people born on the same day and month.
Maybe this "bending of events through time" is an aspect of physics we do not fully understand yet.
This is the first time I have been able to document people and events from the past matching my "predictive" dream key words and phrases.
Internet Key Word and Phrase Matches to my 8/20/2014 and 8/22/2014 Dreams
Keyword matches from my 8/20/2014 and 8/22/2014 dreams to two internet articles I found are:
"paper", "dragonfly", "helicopter crash", "rolled several times", "It (the helicopter named the "Newsroom Dragonfly") also allowed the Journal to feature aerial photography, from the remotest corners of the state to “Is this your house?” neighborhood flyovers across Portland.", "Samuel Jackson", "Civil War", "CS", "September 24th is the month and day the Civil War Colonel "Samuel Jackson" (Samuel Jackson" was born in 1833 and has the exact same month and day of my birth.)
Summary of my 8/20/2014 dream key word matches from the two referenced internet articles above.
There was a newspaper helicopter crash in 1947. The history making helicopter was called the "Newsroom Dragonfly". The "Newsroom Dragonfly" helicopter "rolled several times" after the crash near the pilot's friend's neighborhood.
The crash occurred on the 21st of December, 1947. My odd dreams occurred on the 20th and 22nd day of the month. I've noticed actual real life events matching predictive dreams I have often occur within a tight window of two or three days before or after the same day of the month I have predictive dream(s).
The pilot of the 1947 helicopter crash, Sam Jackson, decided to try and fly over his friend's neighborhood to show him an aerial view of his home before dinner. In my 8/20/2014 dream I was walking through a nice neighborhood when all of a sudden a crashing helicopter came barreling towards and "rolled several times". I had to dodge it to avoid being a victim of the helicopter crash in my dream on 8/20/2014.
I also noticed "Samuel Jackson" was a key word from the internet article matching the well known "Civil War" Colonel's name- Samuel Jackson. This made me think perhaps the two dreams on 8/20/2014 and 8/22/2014 were somehow related. The book documenting the history making "Dragonfly Helicopter" of Portland, Oregon was written C.S(Samuel). Jackson. He was the pilot when the 1947 "Dragon Helicopter" crashed. My logical brain automatically matched the pilot's first and middle initials, "CS", to the "Confederate States of America" acronym "CSA" chanted by a person in my 8/22/2014 dream. I felt inspired to do further research on the famous Civil War Colonel Samuel Jackson to try and understand possible reasons why these two dreams would be linked together.
I was amazed to find out from my internet research of the Civil War Colonel, "Samuel McCartney Jackson" the fact he was born on the exact same month and day I was born on- September 24th.
Do you get the feeling, like I do, my subconscious is tapping into resources beyond our current three dimensional world based on the Month and Day of my birth? ***************
Internet Research Findings on the 8/22/2014 Dream
CSA means "Confederate States of America".
I find it fascinating there was a man (obviously from a southern state in the US) shouting "CSA CSA CSA!" in my dream and all people around me were dressed in what I guessed was "Victorian" era clothing which is when the American Civil War occurred.
Still not sure what the dream means but I can tell you for sure I had no knowledge of what "CSA" meant and had no knowledge the American Civil War started during the Victorian era.

The Newsroom Dragonfly (1)
Before Sky 8...
Before News Chopper 6...
Before Air 12...
There was the Newsroom Dragonfly.
It was purchased by the Oregon Journal in 1947, the first helicopter in the country used by a newspaper for news coverage.
A state wide news sensation, its career was tragically cut short after less than a year.
The media wars in Portland during the postwar era were between the staid, established Oregonian, the morning paper, which proudly proclaimed itself an "Independant Republican Newspaper" on its editiorial page, and the scrappy blue-collar afternoon paper, the Oregon Journal.
The Journal was founded in 1902 by C.S. Jackson. It often espoused populist causes such as the direct election of U.S. Senators and adoption of the initiative system.
In 1947 the paper was published by Phillip Jackson, the son of its founder. His nephew, C.S. "Sam" Jackson II, newly returned from wartime naval air service was the associate publisher and general manager of radio station KALE- The Journal.
Sam Jackson pilots the Dragonfly
Phillip Jackson had the idea of purchasing a helicopter for the Journal after he had read an advertisement by Bell Aircraft Company in October 1946, but it was Sam Jackson was the prime mover behind the project.
It was an instant success, a news story in itself as well as a revolutionary news gathering tool. Launched from the helicopter pad from the Oregon Journal’s huge building (the former Public Market) on the waterfront, it could reach stories around town in minutes, covering fires (even one at the OregonianBuilding), train wrecks, and floods state wide. It also allowed the Journal to feature aerial photography, from the remotest corners of the state to “Is this your house?” neighborhood flyovers across Portland.
On the afternoon of Sunday December 21, 1947, Sam Jackson and his friend, businessman Ambrose Cronin Jr. (himself a grandson-in-law of the Oregonian’s founder Henry L. Pittock) left a luncheon at the Cronin household along side of the West Hills golf course (the course was later made the location of the Oregon Zoo in1959).
They drove to the Oregon Journal’s headquarters and boarded the Journal’s helicopter. Jackson and Cronin planned to take pictures of Cronin’s home before returning there for dinner. They took off at approximately 4:10 and flew toward the West Hills.
At 4:30, witnesses reported seeing the helicopter circling the ninth tee of the golf course in a fairly strong head wind when suddenly the tail lifted and the helicopter plunged to the ground. Upon impact, it burst into flames and rolled several times, killing both occupants.
The helicopter was so popular the Oregon Journal published a book, “The Newsroom Dragonfly” to be out in time for Christmas, 1947. The book was not lacking in descriptive metaphors for the new technology. Besides "dragonfly" it was referred to as an "eggbeater," "the flying pollywog" (it was green), a "strange new air machine," "doodlebug" and "the airplaine that stands still."
Sep. 24, 1833 Apollo Armstrong County Pennsylvania, USA
Death:
May 8, 1906 Apollo Armstrong County Pennsylvania, USA
Civil War Union Brevet Brigadier General. Born just outside Apollo, Pennsylvania, of Irish-Scottish lineage, he enrolled as a drummer boy in the Pennsylvania State Militia in 1845 when he was only twelve years old. In the years that followed he was steadily promoted until he reached the rank of Captain. After the outbreak of the Civil War he recruited a company called the "Apollo Independent Blues", a unit that would be eventually incorporated as Company G of the 11th Pennsylvania Reserves. He was promoted to Major on July 2, 1861, Lieutenant Colonel on October 28, 1861, and finally Colonel and commander of the regiment on April 10, 1863. He saw action at the Battles of Gaines' Mill, Second Bull Run, South Mountain, Antietam, Fredericksburg, Gettysburg, the Wilderness, Spotsylvania Court House, and Bethesda Church. Mustered out, honorably, on June 13, 1864, he was brevetted Brigadier General, US Volunteers on March 13, 1865. After the war he was engaged in the oil business in Venango County, Pennsylvania, but returned home in 1889. Later that year he was elected to the Pennsylvania State Legislature, and again in 1890. A few years later he represented the forty-first Senatorial district in the Pennsylvania State Senate but declined to be renominated at the end of his term

"American Civil War alternate histories are texts wherein events during the ... variant of these detail the victory and survival of the Confederate States of America. ... Albert (the husband of Queen Victoria) elicits a war between the Union and Britain, ... England/France enter the War in 1863 when British built warships enter the ... " Reference: (4)
Reference: (3) A computer game called Victoria II
"America begins the Victorian era as one of the emerging Great Powers of the world, and one which has embraced the ideals of Democracy as its founding principles. However, since its inception following the American war of Independence from the British crown, the country has been plagued by fierce debate over the issue of slavery, which at this time all European countries (with exception of Denmark) had banned by now.... Things finally came to a headway in the presidential election of 1860, in which abolitionist Abraham Lincoln of the newly formed Republican party ran on a platform of limiting the extension of slavery into the western territories. With his fiery anti-slavery language, southern politicians feared that such an act would upset the careful balance between Free and Slave states; and would ultimately preclude attempts to abolish all slavery. When Abraham Lincoln won the election, South Carolina declared its intention to secede from the United States, and several states followed, who began seizing federal property withing their states. Although Lincoln attempted to negotiate with southern politicians and assuage their fears, hostilities broke out when forces of the newly formed 'Confederate States of America' opened fire on Federal forces at Ft. Sumter in 1861. Thus began The Civil War, the bloodiest war in American history, which ended in 1865 with the defeat and reoccupation of the southern states, and culminated in the end of Slavery within the United States.
The American Civil War in APD and Vanilla
In Vanilla, although the original Victoria II starts in 1836, and allows the player to guide their selected country through 100 years of the Victorian era, the House Divided expansion pack which APD is based on allows an alternative start to the game in 1861 at the onset of the Civil War. This was done in order to give the CSA a better fighting chance against the USA, which players complained that the CSA was extremely easy to beat. In APD, the Civil War event chain is not drastically changed from Vanilla. Additional events and decisions preclude the Civil War, in addition to during it. Ultimately however, slavery cannot be abolished in the US until the Civil War occurs, for better or worse. The player can enact special decisions during the course of the war which represent real strategies by the US designed to end the war, such as the Anaconda plan."
I remembered only a loud pronouncement from my dream last night...
"ETHOS. It's yours when you find it!"
I don't even know what ETHOS means. I will research it online.
At this point, I have no idea what this statement means from my dream last night.
Odd I would make such a loud statement in a dream when I don't even know what I am saying!
****
I looked up the meaning of ETHOS after I wrote the above in this blog. See definitions at the bottom of this blog.
Conclusion
If you want to find your true ethos, your true beliefs to guide you through life, you have to search for it!
Detailed Explanation
"Ethos can simply mean the disposition, character, or fundamental values particular to a specific person, people, corporation, culture, or movement. The Ethos refers to the spirit which motivates the ideas and customs."(1).
For example, "the American Dream" is the freedom to work hard and get rich (2).
The night after I had the ETHOS dream and looking up the definition of Ethos I watched an NCIS TV show. It was all about searching for "the guiding beliefs or ideals that characterize a community, nation, or ideology."
What a coincidence, right?
The NCIS captain's farther was seen searching for an old war buddy who had saved his life when he was flying a fighter plane in World War II against the Nazis. His father insisted his son (the NCIS captain) use his resources to help find this old war buddy he longed to see. The son was having trouble with the ethos of the situation because he thought his father was no longer following the "guiding beliefs and ideals he was raised by" and the "ideology" of his father being the guiding light in morals and beliefs. The son had researched his fathers platoon and found no one by the name of the buddy his father was looking for. The NCIS captain thought his father was not telling the truth and just wanted his attention. The idea that parents with failing health can no longer fulfill the ideology of being the master of their children which characterized the ethos of parenthood from the post WWII baby boom generation was also noted. So this TV show was all about searching for ETHOS. At the end of the show it turned out the father's buddy was a Nazi fighter plane pilot that showed mercy and helped the NCIS captain's farther turn his failing plane around. His father was flying in the wrong direction. The Nazi pilot guided the failing airplane to safe US occupied air space. A definite violation of the existing Nazi ethos of World War II. The German pilot eventually moved to the US after the war and the two pilots wrote each other. So the NCIS captain's ethos was not violated from the way he was raised. He just made a bad assumption about who his father's war buddy really was. He had to search for the truth to be satisfied his ethos was not violated.
So what does this all mean based on the dream I had?
I think my subconscious was defining a milestone in my journey writing this blog.
Simply stated, "Be aware!". "Search for the truth."
I have found evidence of "guiding powers" beyond our three dimensional space because I methodically documented my "Deja Vu" dreams.
You have to "be aware" and search for your true ethos.
If you watch all the TV shows out their on psychics reading people and talking to their dead relatives you know the message they are trying to get across is simply "be aware". Your current beliefs may change if you just look a little harder at what you are seeing. Have an open mind to what is really going on in your daily lives.
In this blog, I am just trying to make you more aware of what I have noticed is going on in my daily life.
Some of my dreams appear to be tapping resources beyond the realm of our three dimensional space. I am seeing and hearing things in my dreams around the 12th and 24th day of each month relating to experiences I have in real life days or months after the dream occurs. These predictive dreams keep happening month after month, year after year. They are repeatable.
It has definitely changed my ethos and made me more aware of future experiences I will have in my lifetime.
Ethos (/ˈiːθɒs/ or /ˈiːθoʊs/) is a Greek word meaning "character" that is used to describe the guiding beliefs or ideals that characterize a community, nation, or ideology. The Greeks also used this word to refer to the power of music to influence its hearer's emotions, behaviours, and even morals.[1] Early Greek stories of Orpheus exhibit this idea in a compelling way. The word's use in rhetoric is closely based on the Greek terminology used by Aristotle in his concept of the three artistic proofs.
Current usage[edit] 1. Ethos can simply mean the disposition, character, or fundamental values particular to a specific person, people, corporation, culture, or movement. The Ethos refers to the spirit which motivates the ideas and customs. As T.S. Eliot wrote, "The general ethos of the people they have to govern determines the behavior of politicians."[2] One historian noted that in the 1920s, "The ethos of the Communist party dominated every aspect of public life in Soviet Russia."[3]
Ethos may change in response to new ideas or forces. Ideas of economic modernisation imported from the West in the 1930s brought about in Jewish settlements in Palestine "the abandonment of the agrarian ethos and the reception of...the ethos of rapid development".[4]

2. Reference: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Dream
The American Dream is a national ethos of the United States, a set of ideals in which freedom includes the opportunity for prosperity and success, and an upward social mobility achieved through hard work. In the definition of the American Dream by James Truslow Adams in 1931, "life should be better and richer and fuller for everyone, with opportunity for each according to ability or achievement" regardless of social class or circumstances of birth.[1]
The idea of the American Dream is rooted in the United States Declaration of Independence which proclaims that "all men are created equal" and that they are "endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable Rights" including "Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness."[2]
I had a memorable dream last night. It was not about anything I am currently doing in real life so I believe it is a prediction of a future event I will experience. The dream was about how a group of not so honest people were taking advantage of all the data being tracked by companies about people and pushing advertisement for products based on the hope it will match the peoples interests they know about the people they push the ads out to.
This not so honest group was into pushing out ads to people with new born babies. Everything from monogrammed baby booties to life insurance. They had become quite successful and didn't care whether the people they sent ads out to wanted to see them or not.
In my dream the push of these ads was bordering on harassment. It is the second dream I have had about media blitzes of ads to people based on their interests collected from peoples web browsing.
The dream is telling me these type of ad blitzes will be getting more and more annoying for people in the future. It seems to indicate more and more people will start questioning the morality of this type of advertising.
I had a dream in the early morning of 07-20-2014. It was strange and confusing. I can't quite remember the exact word repeated several times in my dream but I know it had the word "MEGA" in it.
On the night of 07-21-2014, I watched a "NOVA" Public Television show indicating "MEGA" quakes (above 8.0 on the Richter scale) could occur off the western shore near Seattle any time in the future. Apparently they now believe 1 in every 3 serious earthquakes occurring off the West coast of Washington or Oregon could be a "MEGA" quake. These mega earthquakes could cause huge tsunamis.
Maybe that is what the "MEGA" word was predicting in my dream early on 7/20/2014.. I can't remember the details of the dream but I think I have had it before. I think the word in the dream was "MegaTrend". For some reason I related the dream to Seattle, WA USA.
I had another strange dream on 07-21-2014. It was in an airport in the future in Seattle, WA USA. People could hop on what looked like green astro turf and use their minds to regulate the speed of how fast they went on the airport "people mover". They could go as fast as they wanted to the top of a steep hill using their minds to regulate their speed. The airplane ticket counter was at the top of the steep hill.
Strange dream.
It was cool to see you could control the speed on the airport "people mover" with your mind in this futuristic dream.
I had a dream the morning of 6/23/2014. I believe it was spawned by two events the previous day. The first event was my wife saying a friend posted a picture of a t-shirt they bought with the statement on it "I apologize for interrupting. I get excited about random thoughts I have."...or something like that. The other was a public television show I saw when channel surfing about how people with Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) often take high risk jobs like being surgeons because they need the constant excitement to keep them focused
The dream I had on the morning of 6/23/2014 is a logical and perhaps predictive extension of those two real life events. I believe my subconscious took the previous days new knowledge and added to it. My dream stated there are three ways people process data. They process things in their brain serially (one single fact after another). People can process things in their brain randomly and react to them randomly, as well, based on the t-shirt my wife's friend posted and the public television show about people with ADD. Then my subconscious revealed I can predict future events because my brain processes things using "clustered indexes".
When I had my dream it didn't make any sense to me. I know what a "clustered index" is when storing data in a database on a computer. A clustered index physically rearranges rows of data in a databases table in the order of key words in the clustered index. You define the physical order of each row on the computer disk for a database table by the key words defined for the clustered index.
My subconscious is saying I can predict future events because I am able to sort real life and future events predicted in my dreams by key words, phrases and images. My monthly predictive dreams become lumped together with other experiences I have previously had so I can predict events in the future based on groups of similar words, images and phrases I have clustered together in my head.
Previous real life events are a catalyst for my subconscious to look into the future, at a quantum level, and provide key words, phrases and images occurring in the future. These future events may be totally unrelated to my previous, real life experiences but they have the same key words, phrases and images as previous, real life events I have experienced or the predictive dreams I have...the definition of Deja Vu.
What my dream is saying is the fact I am able to take the bits of future events from predictive monthly dreams and sort them in my head by key words, phrases and images to easily see the relationship between my monthly predictive dreams and future real life events I experience.
The definition of a clustered index fits the fact I track similarities between previous events I have experienced, my predictive, monthly dreams and future real life events I note because they are are all related together using the exact same key words, phrases and images. This is the definition of a "clustered index".
It makes sense being able to cluster previous real life events, predictive dreams and future events together by same key word, phrases and images to predict future events. There is even a predictive analysis technique used in data analysis called "clustering" that does the same thing in - predicting future behavior by looking at past behavior.
I read an article on 6/4/2014 titled "The ten worst states for disaster."
"The ten worst states for disaster." article prompted an odd dream I had in the early morning of 6/5/2014.
The start of the dream was a conversation with an "entity". I assumed the person I was talking to was dead. They were trying to strike a bargain with me. The "entity" said they would channel details of future disasters to me in my dreams if I gave them one million dollars.
I strongly refused this proposal.
I don't have a million dollars to give to dead people who promise they will channel future disaster facts to me in my dreams from "beyond".
Then the dream morphed into images of some sort of disaster in the year 2016.
In the final portion of my dream on 6/5/2014, .people were quickly walking towards an emergency shelter while yellow and blue emergency lights were flashing along the way to the shelter.
There will be a major disaster in 2016 with yellow and blue emergency lights flashing to route people to emergency shelters somewhere in the world according to my dream.
We have to wait until 2016 to see if it comes true.
I
noticed May 23rd, 2014 the Santa Barbara shootings occurred one day less
than the day in the month when I was born. This is "The Birthday
Phenomena" I wrote and published an eBook on.
I
document real life events matching my predictive dreams I have around my
birth day each month. Real life events matching my monthly, predictive
dreams also seem to occur around my birth day divided by 2- around the
12th day of each month.
The relationship between monthly, predictive dreams and future, real
life events appears to be quantifiable and repeatable using matching key
words, phrases and images between predictive dreams and real life
events.
The next scientific step would be to try and
quantify the strength of relationship between key words, phrases and
images between my predictive dreams and the real life events I believe
match each predictive dream.
I have the statistics
training to do this. New data analysis software could make it even
easier to find statistically significant relationships from the key
words, phrases, images and even dates noted between the predictive
dreams and real life events documented in this blog. Statistical
Analysis of the key words, phrases and images in my predictive dreams
would add another level of scientific validation to my monthly
observations.
I have to admit I am not jazzed about
spending time quantifying all these observations though. I blame it on
the fact I am already successful in my life's journey. I have no real
motivation for spending hours crunching numbers to quantify my monthly
observations at this point in my life. If I get bored in my retirement I
will do it.
This blog was really created to just take
the first step of the scientific process. I will continue simply
observing and documenting my observations of "The Birthday Phenomena"
each month and define significant patterns that become evident from my
monthly dreams and subsequent real life events matching the predictive
dream's key words, phrases and images. I suspect one would have to scour
the internet daily for a month and see how many times the key words
occur each day throughout the internet. This would be a baseline
observation to compare the significance of my dream's key words and
phrases with the baseline "white noise" of words and phrases occurring
each day on the internet. I'm not sure how to determine the predictive
significance of images I have in my dream matching daily images
published on the internet.
Without quantifying the significance of my monthly dreams and matching real life events I can only say,
"I
believe there is a definite, repeatable relationship between each
month's predictive dreams I have around my birth day and future real
life events I experience."
The relationship
between monthly, predictive dreams and future, real life events I
observe could open up a whole new area of scientific research to
explore. By defining the "Birthday Phenomena" as repeatable and
quantifiable should spark some interest in the scientific community. The
latest data analytic software could be used to validate the
relationships I am seeing.
It is interesting to note,
ever since I published my dream about Putin and the subsequent, real
life invasion of the Ukraine by Russian supported soldiers the
significant volume of page hits on this blog from Russia has completely
dried up. Ref. http://relofone.blogspot.com/2014/02/02192014-russiaka-beautiful-but.html.
The Cold War between Russia and the US is definitely back!
My
monthly observations appear to be sparking some interest in "The
Birthday Phenomena" based on the more than 9000 page hits on this blog
over the past few years. It is my hope the "spark of interest" from this
low key blog explodes into a raging fire of further scientific research
on the "Birthday Phenomena". It is my understanding the Russians have
done a lot of research on psychic abilities of humans so maybe I sparked
some new interest in doing further research on the "Birthday Phenomena"
before this blog was removed from their internet search engines.
I
have communicated my constructive observations on important events
occurring in the world and new product ideas I believe have exciting
potential using email to a former Senator from WA State (Slade Gorton),
Bill Gates at Microsoft (MS), a Director level manager at MS Research,
various MS product group managers, the 2010 Winter Olympic committee
and, most recently, the Coleman company- maker of camping products. I
even applied for a research grant from the US government on an
alternative energy idea. Even though most of these people didn't come
forward and give me credit for my ideas. they did listen and respond to
me on my ideas. They either agreed and hooked me up with other people
who could help implement some of my ideas, told me my ideas were under
consideration or ignored me. My application for a government research
grant was reviewed. One person told me I was just trying to get money to
send my kid through college and another grant reviewer told me the US
Department of Transportation would be a better avenue for my idea. After
touching base with a company building alternative energy products the
math didn't seem to generate enough electricity to make it worthwhile.
My idea was to passively generate electricity from storm drain run off
in the huge amount of storm drains around the country. There are already
passive, electric generating products producing low voltage electric
currents from even weak water flows.
There still may be a benefit
of this passive, storm drain runoff alternative energy idea. For
example, if you put one of these passive, weak flow electric generators
in the storm drain at each telephone pole location along highways in the US and abroad you could collect all those weak electric flows by running a wire straight up
the telephone pole into a bigger wire which eventually fed the US Power
Grid. All these weak currents captured in storm drains along a highway at each telephone pole could become a significant, passive power source in the future if some college or university research project wants to try it..
Sometimes the whole can be greater than the individual parts. If you tie
together a million of the already invented passive, weak water flow
electric generators placed in existing storm drains near telephone poles
throughout the country I propose you could generate several thousand
watts of electricity and feed it into the US Power grid.
Think big!
Sometimes
the people I shared my ideas with appeared to like the idea and ran with
it. :-) Since I achieved success in life through my own efforts, I
simply enjoy creating the spark for further discussion of important
current events or new ideas to be considered and implemented.
I
believe when a person becomes highly educated there is a threshold
reached where it becomes their duty to make the public aware of their
educated opinions regarding important current and future events in the
world. It is also their duty to introduce new ideas to the world based
on their knowledge and observations.It is a way to keep the human
journey through time on a successful track and open up new doors for
scientific exploration.
I know the "Birthday Phenomena"
is worth the monthly effort in this blog because the pattern of monthly
predictive dreams keeps occurring. It also helps to keep motivated by
the fact observing the "Birthday Phenomena" each month is fascinating to
me.
