Prophetic dreams exist, but they are very rare. The concept of such dreams is very old. In ancient times, strange and bizarre images that appeared in a dream excited the imagination of people. The person did not know how to explain these pictures, and everything inexplicable was always associated with the supernatural. So for the interpretation of dreams, a person's faith in all kinds of mysticism became the starting point. For example, those dreams in which the human soul met with the spirits of animals and plants were considered the key to the mysteries of the future, which made it possible to know in advance the will of the gods. In addition, they tried to predict from dreams whether the hunt would be successful, whether it was worth starting a battle with enemies and whether the new place chosen for living would be favorable.
Predictions and fortune-telling from dreams were very popular in India and Egypt, Rome and ancient Greece, but belief in dreams was especially widespread in the Middle Ages. All rulers in the service had fortunetellers who could interpret dreams. But the role of the fortuneteller was not only honorable, but also very dangerous, since if the dream was incorrectly deciphered, the interpreter was threatened with death. Nevertheless, not only fortune-tellers, but also philosophers and artists undertook to interpret dreams.
The first experiments in the interpretation of prophetic dreams belong to the philosophers of Ancient Greece, in particular, Plato and Aristotle.
In the Middle Ages, dreams were interpreted mainly in a religious-moralistic way, and in the Renaissance, the interpretation of dreams was closely intertwined with occultism. Later, everything changed. In the 19th century in Europe, dream books began to be very popular, the authors of which explained a particular dream in terms of those stereotypes that developed in society. But at the same time, many did not believe in the plausibility of such interpretations.
In addition, psychologists became seriously interested in dreams, who put forward the assumption that sleep is an indication of those things that most excite the human subconscious. But here, too, opinions were divided. According to some scientists, all the images that arise in a dream are chaotic, while the other part of scientists said that they are subject to certain laws. The most famous interpreters of dreams are Carl Gustav Jung and Sigmund Freud.
Currently, science has taken a big step forward towards unraveling the nature of dreams. But at the same time, dream books are still very popular.
But what is a prophetic dream? According to the traditional opinion, a prophetic dream is what a person will surely expect in the future, what his life will lead to, what will surely happen due to the prevailing circumstances and reasons. Prophetic dreams, as it were, warn a person, make him prepare for the future.
If you do not perceive your life as a kind of program, then a prophetic dream is a signal of the approach of a certain important event, knowing about which you can correct the future in the right direction.

It is impossible to explain prophetic dreams with rational arguments. Sometimes a person in a dream can see those events that occur thousands of kilometers away from him. According to skeptics, you should not pay attention to dreams at all, since there is no point in them, they are a simple set of certain pictures that reflect real events. But there are many examples in history that prophetic dreams really exist, and even more, they became the starting point of great scientific discoveries. A striking example of this is the periodic table of chemical elements, which D. Mendeleev dreamed in a dream.
If we talk about a scientific explanation of the nature of prophetic dreams, then it sounds like this: throughout the day a person experiences a large number of different events, but at the same time his consciousness notices all the details, but only those that seem to be the most important. At the same time, the subconscious mind captures absolutely everything. Based on the information gathered during the day, the brain tries to make a forecast for the future at night. People often see such forecasts in dreams, and they are considered prophetic dreams. Thus, there is absolutely nothing mystical in foreseeing the future, it is only the work of the human subconscious.
It is often very difficult for people to separate a prophetic dream from an ordinary one, since they are practically no different. Therefore, in order to determine whether a prophetic dream or an ordinary one had a dream, they go from the opposite, that is, they discard those dreams that obviously cannot be prophetic. For example, if a hungry person dreamed of food in a dream, then such a dream, of course, cannot be considered prophetic. In addition, those dreams that were dreamed under the influence of alcohol, tobacco or drugs cannot be considered prophetic. Various kinds of pain, ailments, fever, and prolonged sexual abstinence also have a great influence on sleep. Cold and heat, too loud noises, and other irritants can have a negative effect on sleep.
Thus, we can conclude that a prophetic dream is one that is dreamed in a healthy, cozy atmosphere.
Scientists talk about the existence of purifying and filling prophetic dreams. So, if such a dream is dreamed of during the waning moon, then it indicates that something will become unnecessary in a person's life and leave it. That is, if a person has an unpleasant or terrible dream, then, on the contrary, it is very good, since everything bad will go away from his life. Such dreams are called purifying dreams.
Dreams that were dreamed with a growing moon indicate that something new will appear in a person's life. These are fulfilling dreams. The plots of such dreams can be both real and fantastic, but both of them may soon come true.
Dreams that a person sees on a full moon indicate those situations in which a person shows excessive emotionality. At the same time, such dreams are just a statement of fact, but in reality nothing can be changed.
It should be noted that prophetic dreams were of great help not only to Mendeleev. The famous Russian poet M. Lermontov loved to solve mathematical problems at his leisure. But one day he failed to solve one of these problems, and the poet went to bed. And in a dream he saw a stranger who suggested a solution to him. When Lermontov woke up, he immediately wrote down the solution he had received in his dream and drew a portrait of the stranger. After the death of the poet, it was established that the figure depicted the creator of logarithms, John Napier, who lived several centuries earlier than Lermontov.
Paul McCartney dreamed of a beautiful melody. When the musician woke up, he went to the piano and began to play. The artist himself noted that he had never written anything like this. Later this melody became the well-known song "Yesterday".
There are many more such examples. But very often it happens that prophetic dreams are dreamed not for good. They often portend all sorts of misfortunes and even death. So, for example, the queen of Troy Hecuba, during her pregnancy with Paris, had a dream in which she dreamed that she was giving birth to a torch. The soothsayer explained the dream to the queen, and the baby was thrown into the mountains. Many years later, however, when young Paris came to Troy, he was accepted as a native, forgetting about the prophetic dream. And later the dream came true, through the fault of Paris, Troy was burned by enemies.
Mikhail Lomonosov in his youth had a dream in which he saw the death of his father on the sharp in the White Sea. The most striking thing is that his father died at this time. This example is more often attributed to telepathy than to prophetic dreams.
The sixteenth president of America, Abraham Lincoln, had a dream in which he went down to one of the halls of the White House, and saw there a coffin covered with the national flag. He asked who was being buried, and he was told that the president. Ten years later, Lincoln himself was shot at the opera.
However, prophetic dreams are dreamed not only by privileged persons, very often ordinary people also see them. So, for example, a woman named Valentina told how, at the age of nine, she had a bad dream. The girl and her mother were walking not far from the house, and saw white figures approaching them. When the figures came closer, one of them began to strangle the woman, the girl was very frightened and hit her on the head. Valentina recalls that she was sure that she could do nothing to help her mother, because she was sure that the white pieces were ghosts, and her hand would just go through them. But suddenly the girl's hand touched something hard, and the girl woke up. After a while, the girl's mother had a severe attack of asthmatic bronchitis, and the woman was saved with great difficulty.
And there are many such examples. Currently, scientists cannot answer the question of why prophetic dreams are dreamed. Sometimes they can dream for no apparent reason, and clearly show a picture from the future that has no meaning for a person. Sometimes prophetic dreams show those moments in a person's life that are key, and help to avoid trouble or make the right decision. The mechanism by which a prophetic dream appears in a person's life is also unknown.
One thing is certain: if at least one of a person's dreams began to come true, this must be taken extremely seriously, because this is a real chance to change your life. It must be remembered that Mexican shamans believed that dreams are a second reality, and that prophetic dreams are seen by all people, but not everyone can understand them. And when asked when prophetic dreams are dreamed, they answered - always. It is possible that the shamans were right. And, as a matter of fact, why not?..
