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

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.
