Oneiromancy which comes from Greek όνειροϛ oneiros, dream or prophecy)
is a form of divination based upon dreams…it is a system of dream
interpretation that uses dreams to predict the future…some claim that their
dreams portend future events and can be used to decide a course… as with other
forms of extrasensory perception, there is no evidence that precognition is a
real ability possessed by anyone…or so that’s what the ‘experts’ say…This of
course brings up the science…if you will…of ESP. ESP is most commonly called
the "sixth sense." It is sensory information that an individual
receives which comes beyond the ordinary five senses; sight, hearing, smell,
taste, and touch. It can provide an individual with information about the
present, past, and future…as it seems to originate in a second, or alternate
reality. ESP has been given various names over time such as clairvoyance, or
"seeing in the distance."
People who have
extrasensory perception are said to be psychic…some experts think that everyone
has ESP to a certain degree; others think it is a gift that only certain people
possess...ESP refers to telepathy, clairvoyance (remote viewing), precognition,
and, in recent years, clairaudience. The existence of ESP and other paranormal
powers such as psychokinesis are disputed by some, though experimental
research on these subjects has been ongoing for over a century in a field known
as parapsychology.
Most of the evidence for
ESP, however, is anecdotal in nature. The anecdotes consist of two parts; the
experience itself and the interpretation of it. I can personally attest to
having ESP experiences on many more than one occasion. Anyone can make blind predictions
and have one occasionally come to pass. However, having many experiences makes
coincidence seem unlikely.
As I have mentioned
previously, I have had personal brushes with ESP such as ‘sensing’ a bridge
collapse…regarding the bridge collapse, I was driving with a friend when he
pointed out a new bridge under construction. I sensed something peculiar which
made me say, “That is going to collapse before it is finished.” The next day, I
was shocked to hear on radio that part of the bridge had collapsed and three
workers were killed. This and other experiences are true…now some scoff and wonder
why psychics cannot predict the winning lottery numbers or other such events. I
can only speak of my experience in that I have had no control over these ‘visions’.
They have never come through active pursuit on my part. They happen randomly,
sometimes occurring close together and other times far apart in time.
I cannot explain how these ‘visions occur’. They were not dreams. Sometimes it was just a sensory perception of something. It has been documented that people have gotten off planes due to a certain feeling with the plane crashing upon its journey. Other times, I could only recollect a vision of something with no idea of how that vision occurred…no matter how these visions came, they were accurate and most truthful and most real, no matter what the skeptics say.
