I had a dream before ~ I didn't think too much at that time ~ I told it to my friends as a joke ~ Now it has come true ~ What's wrong?

Telepathic dreams tend to predict important events by nature. However, the history of dream research is also full of many different trivial events, such as dreaming of a fishing rod and knowing in advance that a stranger will come to drink a girl in red. These are as difficult to explain as dreams that predict important things. Dreams include not only dreams of predicting the future, but also dreams of seeing the invisible, communicating with the unknown, telepathic dreams, dreams of two or more dreamers dreaming at the same time, and dreams of getting information about the dead.

The most common telepathic dream is to foresee the future. Sometimes what you see is hours or days later, sometimes years later. These prophetic dreams often depict tragic scenes.

However, most foreseeable dreams involve people and things, and most of them foresee disasters. The most amazing case in modern times is the dream of Mrs. Barbara Garwell of Hull, England. She is a housewife with a secondary education and four children. She is calm and optimistic, not like a telepathic person at all, but she is superstitious about many things.

198 1 at the beginning of March, Gewehr vividly dreamed that he was riding in a car with two men in the uniform of Hitler's elite stormtroopers. A big car came head-on and stopped. A pockmarked man got off the car. When Gewehr woke up, he was not sure that it was the actor Trevor Howard. Two uniformed stormtroopers also got off. One of them fired several shots at Howard, who fell to the ground. Three weeks later, on March 30th, 198 1, American president Ronald Reagan, who was a movie star, got off the bus in Washington. John W. hinkley Jr. shot and killed him, and Reagan was injured. Xing Kelei joined a neo-Nazi organization in 1978, but was expelled because of his extreme views.

It takes imagination to connect Gewell's dream with Xing Kelei's assassination attempt (for example, Xing Kelei's ambiguous relationship with neo-Nazis), a rather tortuous explanation (Trevor Howard's body doubles as President Reagan), and regardless of the occasion (two assassins instead of one person).

Investigating and studying dreams from a scientific perspective began in the middle of19th century, and one of the earliest theorists was Jane Evangelista Pujinye. It believes that dreams are a natural restorative, which can free the brain from the troubles of working during the day. He said in 1846: "The mind doesn't want to continue to endure all kinds of tensions in daily life, but should eliminate them." Therefore, every kaleidoscope of dreams full of fantasy and emotion "creates a situation completely opposite to daily life-it cures sadness with love and friendship and eliminates fear with courage and confidence". In other words, dreams are the escape art of the mind.

Is the story about the predictive power of dreams credible? We seem to have many anecdotes to prove that dreams can really be the power of inspiration. The collective testimony of philosophers, scientists, writers and musicians strongly shows that their dreams have a positive impact.

Descartes, a French mathematician in17th century, is called the father of modern philosophy. He thinks that dreams are not the function of rational mind, but only fantasies or unfulfilled wishes. But Descartes thought that a series of dreams in his youth inspired his life.

16 19 In the winter, Descartes lived in Germany at the age of 23. 165438+1October 10, attending the coronation ceremony of the emperor in Frankfurt. When he returned to his residence, he fell asleep that night and had three dreams. He thinks these dreams must come from heaven. The first two dreams are full of terrible ghosts, strong winds and lightning; In the third dream, he dreamed that he found and read a dictionary and a collection of poems. He clearly remembers these three dreams. He was deeply moved by the third and last dream. According to his biographer, "he not only thought it was a dream in his sleep, but also explained it clearly before he woke up."

For Descartes, this dream is a revelation. He suddenly realized that science (marked by dictionaries) and philosophy (marked by poems) should be combined. Why not apply scientific laws that need observation or experiment to philosophical problems? The young Frenchman was greatly shocked by his dream, and it took him two or three days to recover. Later, he picked up a pen and paper to write, and his thoughts and inspirations flooded. Throughout his life, he devoted himself to planning a philosophy that would change the way of thinking of western intellectuals forever. However, in the same book, he pointed out that the sleeper's dream is just an imaginary image, or an unsatisfied desire, which devalues the inspiration of the book itself. As one writer wrote, Descartes' dream is "a dream that will eventually end".

More than two centuries later, in 1869, Russian chemist Dmitry Mendeleyev also attributed a scientific mystery to dreams. He is a chemistry professor at St. Petersburg Institute of Technology. For many years, he has been looking for a method to classify chemical elements according to atomic weight, and hopes to develop a method to predict unknown elements. One day, he worked all day in vain and fell asleep at night. In his dream, "a watch with all the elements in its place" appeared. After he woke up, he carefully recorded it, which is now known all over the world as the periodic table of chemical elements. Mendeleev "later found that there was only one place to correct." Two years later, he used this table to predict the existence of three new elements and tell their characteristics. These elements were discovered after 15 years.

Wagner's autobiography My Life, written on 1865, describes the illusion he felt in a trance: "I fell into a sleepwalking state and suddenly felt myself falling into the rushing water. The sound of flowing water soon became a chord in E flat major, which echoed in the form of broken chords. These automatizations have become melody patterns that change faster and faster, but the triads in E-flat major remain unchanged, which makes me. What Wagner heard in his hallucinations later became the theme of the great opera The Ring of Nibelungen.
