The concept of “prophetic” dreams is very old. Even in ancient times, bizarre images seen in a dream excited the imagination of people. Indeed, how can this be explained? The man spent the whole night on his bed, and in the morning, waking up, he says that he had just visited the forest in which he had once wandered with the people of his tribe, that he talked with long-dead relatives and hunted with them unseen birds and beasts.
The belief of people in the supernatural - in the spirits that inhabit the entire world around them, in the soul wandering outside the body during the sleep of its owner - became the starting point in the explanation of dreams.
Dreams, in which the supposedly wandering soul of a sleeping person meets the souls of dead people, with the spirits of plants and animals, they considered the key to the secrets of the future, allowing them to know in advance the will of the gods. From dreams, they tried to guess whether the planned hunt would be successful, when to start a battle with a hostile tribe, and whether the place chosen for habitation was favorable.
Fortune-telling and predictions from dreams were widespread in Egypt and India, in ancient Greece and Rome, belief in prophetic dreams flourished especially in the Middle Ages. All the rulers kept in the service at their courts one or even several fortunetellers endowed with a special gift. The role of the interpreter was in its own way dangerous and insidious both in relation to himself and to those around him. The dissimilarity of reality with decoding threatened with the loss of life. An explanation of the dream to Vladyka, indicating his specific enemies, allegedly indicated from above, served as a sufficient reason for the death penalty. A multitude of people were tortured, committed innocently to the millstones of death because of the human darkness in which they dwelt, being in the grip of a great mystery. The field of interpretation of dreams did not leave their attention either to artists and philosophers.
In the 19th century, dream books were very popular in Europe and Russia, the authors of which confidently explained the meaning of dreams from the point of view of stereotypes prevailing in society and were subordinated to the opinion of outside influence. And at the same time, doubts were expressed about the plausibility and the very possibility of such an interpretation of dreams. Today science has made a big leap towards unraveling the physiology of sleep and explaining the nature of dreams. And what, dream books have lost their relevance? No way! The information contained in a dream is the key to understanding the nature of the person himself, his inner world, his life.
WHAT ARE THING DREAMS
What do we mean by this concept - a prophetic dream? According to the established opinion, this is what awaits a person in the future, to which life, fate leads him - must necessarily happen due to the inertia of the existing reasons and circumstances. And dreams in this case are a kind of viewing of a situation that has not yet happened. Such visions in a dream warn with their appearance about the need to be ready for them.

On the other hand, if you do not consider your life as a given program, then this kind of dream "broadcasts" about the approach of some action, but admits the possibility of making adjustments in the right direction, but does not exclude a complete rejection of them, complete submission to fate.
One way or another, but to prophetic dreams, we absolutely refer those dreams that materialized in the subsequent time. Those phenomena that a person saw in a state of sleep, and which coincided one to one in reality, are more suitable to them and probably only are prophetic. Without any imagery and symbolism. That is, what was seen in a dream, for example, the capture of a fortress in reality was the capture of a fortress. But in no case is it a prophetic dream, if I saw a flying pigeon, I translated it through the dream book as “to a successful purchase”, thus programming myself to buy, and later realized it in reality. A very careful approach to coincidences is needed, even when there is the sameness of what was seen and what happened.
As we remember, sleep is built from a mass of objects, feelings, sources of irritation, opposite to each other. In what cases is our brain, digesting such a sandwich, able to show what lies ahead, what we need, what can happen?
A real prophetic dream is an extremely rare and exceptional phenomenon. Much more often we see so-called "prophetic dreams", artificially created by ourselves. That is, we adjust what we saw in a dream to real situations, and if it coincides (note - coincides) with what actually happened, we classify our dream as prophetic.
Prophetic dreams of ideal origin
In fact, prophetic dreams are the lot of selected people, who are distinguished by one common quality - complete dedication to their work. When their whole life is entirely devoted to one business, their brain develops certain skills of action in one area or another, a certain obsession appears in the work of thought in the good sense of the word. For the poet, the rest of the day that took place, the brain, by its inertia, adds up to a logical form, rhyming it (Pushkin); for the composer - giving melodiousness (Schumann); from the artist - creating the splendor of the drawing (Raphael). And these are real facts, all these people "saw" a part (only a small part!) Of their works in a dream, and when they woke up, they put it on paper.
What is the case with the famous periodic table of chemical elements! The scientist worked for a long time on the classification of elements, but he could not finally come to the creation of a harmonious system, although he saw the relationship between them. And then one day, after much thought, he stayed to sleep in his office. When he woke up, he was overwhelmed with delight from what he saw in a dream, and immediately began to copy his dream on paper. The table was built.
The case with a chemist showed that in the presence of constant remnants of the day, which were not diluted with everyday problems, a logically constructed video picture with the remainder of the day, which was transmitted from day to day, where there were chemical elements and data about them, the requirement to somehow define them in the diagram, - all this gave its result one fine day. Surely in the waking state, fatigue, being distracted by something else, was a hindrance. In a relaxed state, when the interference was removed, the brain gave a logical ending to the research. The brain worked like a universal psychoanalyst!
In religious sources, you can often find facts of prophetic night vision by certain prophets. But the prophets see, and not someone else. A prophet is that person who has sufficiently cognized the truth of the universe, living with love for his neighbor. He devoted his whole life to this occupation, suffered, prayed, loved and forgave. Without this set, where, as you have already noticed, there is an entire dedication to the religious science of the universe (obsession - in a good sense), no one will see anything. Nobody and nothing (prophetic)!
In these cases, “prophetic dreams” of ideal origin take place, where it is obvious that a person has talent, giftedness, constant submission to work and the absence of dilution is obligatory. This is unique both in relation to our history and to the lives of such people themselves, with whom all this happened.
Prophetic dreams are doubles
Prophetic dreams of the ideal kind should never be confused with their counterparts. With those cases that do not produce anything new, but only are the result of an unhealthy obsession. A dream shows a desire that had a certain extent in time, but which is not new in its essence, but only a repetition of what was.
For a long time Nikolai D. felt in himself sexual dissatisfaction, which was spurred on by constant fantasies of this kind. The dream he had with a sex scene with a specific woman the next day gave impetus to certain actions that ended with the desired (that is, seen in a dream) results.
In this case, the obsession from day to day settled in the memory and with each repetition was consolidated, grew, and, most importantly, it stood out more among other deposits in the memory, as it had a painful form. And at one point she led to such a dream. The brain has been freed from other layers of memory; perhaps they were, but they received less vivid expression and played only a secondary role. The logically constructed picture was nothing more than a psychoanalysis of the main, lasting for a long time, phenomena. A prophetic dream!
A prophetic dream is a psychoanalysis composed in a dream of long-lasting interconnected, repeated things, phenomena or even incoherent things, phenomena, but taking into account the inertia of a person's thinking along some one logical sequence. Exclusivity makes some people imagine every dream as such a prophetic dream. However, why wait until nightfall and rely on sleep in order to look into the future, if all this can be done during the day, analyzing and predicting your life path?
