Subconscious insight and prophecy
Subconscious insight and predictability
There is a story of 'The Legend of the Mother and the Son' that may give us more inspiration or inspiration for illustrating the insight and propheticism of the subconscious mind. The story goes like this:
A long time ago, there was a son just after the Spring Festival went away for business, his mother began a long wait and worry at home, but the mother has been waiting until the second Spring Festival Eve, the son has not come back. The sound of firecrackers and laughter exploded above the village as other people's homes prepared their goods to welcome the New Year.
One night the mother had a dream. She dreamed that she and her son were sharing a pear. The next day the mother solved the dream master to help her solve the dream. Dream master analysis said that this is a bad dream, the dream of two people to eat a pear indicates that the mother and son 'separation', her son outside will be bad luck. Mother was shocked. But the dream master reassures me, it's
A bad dream has a way of breaking it, and once it is broken, the dream scene can be interpreted as 'separating the pear and seeing the son,' and the mother can see her son. The dream master explained the solution to the mother. Although the mother has a lingering fear, but still follow the instructions of the dream master to do.
By then it was New Year's Eve. In the middle of the night, the mother lit a stick of incense and knelt on the ground, calling out her son's name in her heart. The mother cried, 'Son, come back. Come back, son.' Sure enough, on the second day, that is, at noon on the first day of the New Year, the son returned home and plunged into the arms of his mother. The mother and son were finally reunited, and the mother stroked her son's frozen red face and shed tears of surprise and happiness.
The son did not say anything about his business, but said he would go home anyway and give himself to his mother. However, because of the snow, the road was not smooth, and on New Year's Eve, he still stayed 100 kilometers away from home. The son had to take shelter in a dilapidated cave. The son squatted in the broken cave, the fatigue accumulated for many days made him unable to resist sleepiness, and gradually he was about to fall asleep, but in the middle of his half-dream, he heard his mother's voice calling him, which sounded very distant, but very lifelike, and he was suddenly awakened. The son packed up his things, left the shabby cave, and stepped
Ice and snow, day and night to his hometown, to his mother's side. The son also said that when he left the cave,
In an instant, the dilapidated cave collapsed. It was the mother's cry that saved her son from the broken cave.
Your subconscious mind has abilities you can't even imagine. Sometimes you think something is impossible, but it is not really impossible, but you have not awakened your consciousness. Look at this example:
Mr. A was eager to find someone to start a business with him. Once, he met with B to discuss their future business cooperation. This time, B made A good impression on A, so A decided to cooperate with B and let B be his business partner. The night after meeting with B, A had this dream: 'I saw B sitting in the office we shared. He was going through the books and changing some of the figures in the books to cover up the fact that he had embezzled a huge amount of public money.'
After waking up, A felt that the dream was caused by his hostility and suspicion toward B, so he no longer thought about the dream, and formally cooperated with B to do business. A year later, A found that B really had embezzled a large amount of public funds and had disguised this behavior with false records in the accounts. This example illustrates that dreams are highly perceptive and highly prophetic.
The prophetic nature of dreams may indicate the insight A had about B when they first met. We often don't have the same impression of a person as I do
As simple as they would like to believe, A's intuition tells him that B is dishonest, but B's external image gives A very good impression of A, and he represses the bad idea that B is dishonest. This repressed thought is difficult to surface in the waking mind, but it is actively active in the night dream, resulting in this prophetic dream.
'Space walk' is no longer a human dream, but before the real space walk, a science fiction writer named Asimov described the scene of 'space walk' quite accurately as early as 1952, but no one said Asimov had 'predictive ability', everyone only thought it was 'reasonable speculation'. Because people are 'forward thinking' creatures.
In the book Dreams and Nightmares, the author uses the term 'prophetic dreams' to mean 'forward thinking' and 'subconscious insight.' Asimov's speculation above is the result of his forward thinking, and I will highlight a few 'subconscious insights'.
Examples of:
A patient dreamed several times that his arms and mouth were paralyzed into a spasm. A few months later, his dream came true when he was repairing the radio when he suddenly felt partial paralysis. It was later discovered that he had paralysis
The phenomenon is a complication of syphilis. What is strange is why the patient had a warning sign of syphilis complications in his dream months ago? Physiologically, syphilis is hidden, and although it appears to be normal, his arteries may have been damaged earlier, by the minor attackers who had previously been subjected to dreams. Psychologically speaking, the patient may have been infected with syphilis in the heart of the hidden worries, in the dream, these hidden worries become active, become a harbinger of his disease. As we mentioned earlier, physiological stimulation is one of the materials and sources of dreams, in the dream, our sensitivity to external stimuli is weakened, but the stimulation from the internal organs is more sensitive, and the dream can 'arouse our attention to the initial unhealthy state of the body', said this is the case.
It can be seen that dreams often give people some hints at the right time, and some people seize these hints and act on them, so they succeed. Others ignore these cues and miss opportunities as a result. Pu Songling's 'Liaozhai Tales' has a piece of 'Niu Fei', which probably means:
A countryman bought a very strong cow. One night, he dreamed that his cow had wings and flew away. When he woke up, he felt that the dream was a warning that he was going to lose something. He was most worried about the cow, so he led the cow
Sell at a discount in the market. He wrapped the silver he had sold in a cloth and wrapped it around his arm. On his way home, he saw an eagle by the road eating the carrion of a dead rabbit. The man came closer and saw that the eagle was so meek that it did not fly away, so he tied the eagle's thigh with a cloth towel, and then wrapped it around his arm and continued to walk home. The tied eagle flapped along the way again and again, and while the villagers did not pay attention for a moment, it took the cloth covered with silver and flew to the sky.
The dream prophecy of 'the cow grows wings and flies away' seems to have been symbolically fulfilled, but if the villagers do not think this dream is ominous and do not sell the cow, how can the cow fly away? We may say that this countryman was implied by the dream and fulfilled the prophecy himself.
Here's another example:
In his early forties, Florney is now a famous fashion designer in the United States, and many people admire his ability to design a variety of different styles of clothing and ask him the secret of success.
'It's easy,' they replied, smiling. 'All you have to do is dream that you are sentenced to death.'
'Sentenced to death?' People opened their eyes wide and did not understand what he meant.
'Yes! Sentenced to death.' Florney's firm tone was far from a joke.
It turned out that whenever Florney faced a bottleneck at work and could not break through the dilemma of design, he often dreamed that he was sentenced to death. The plot of the dream has not changed much over the years.
At the beginning of the dream, Florney will always be locked in a dark cell, full of anxiety and anxiety, lonely and helpless to face the scary and unpredictable future.
The gaoler's heavy footsteps came to the door of the cell, and although he saw no one, Florney knew in his heart that it was them, and he could not help breaking out in a cold sweat.
Then the dream went to court. Florney was still in a panic, and the crowd of people and the noise around him deepened his fear. 'I don't want to die! I don't want to die!' Florney shouted in his heart, but no one could hear his voice.
'Florney! You are sentenced to death and executed immediately!' Suddenly a voice commanded.
'I don't want to die!' No matter how much Florney struggled, by this time he had been pushed to the execution ground!
Frodney woke up from the dream and felt a cold chill on his neck and a slight shiver in his body, with the joy of 'I am still alive.'
After this dream, Florney's inspiration erupted like a spring, until the inspiration dried up, Florney would find a new creative idea in the next death dream.
We have also collected the following data about the forward-looking nature of the subconscious, which is more prosaic but very reliable.
A student told me about his dream: A few weeks ago, I had a dream that I was back home, and the home was holding a big banquet, decorated with lights, and beaming. Father appeared very happy, smiling, witty, and constantly toasting the guests, as if to celebrate some happy event. Then, for some reason, my father went out and did not come back for a long time, so I went out to look for my father. At this time, it is raining heavy snow outside, the snow in the ground laid a thick layer, is looking around, suddenly saw my father coming from a distance, when he was about to come to me, suddenly fell down. I quickly ran forward to see what was wrong with Dad and saw that Dad had stopped breathing and his pulse had stopped. I suddenly burst into tears, crying attracted a large crowd of onlookers. After a few minutes, Dad suddenly moved and then opened his eyes again
He looked at me and said, 'It's okay. Your father won't die.' Then I woke up, scared.
'Not long ago, I called home and heard that my father had a car accident not long ago, which caused a fracture of the arm bone and a crack in the leg bone, and the scene was very dangerous at that time, and did not kill my father was lucky in the misfortune, and it was obviously better after treatment.'
Like a middle-aged lady's dream:
'I dreamed that my husband and I were going on a picnic with our 10-year-old son. We pulled over to the side of the road for a break. Then a car of soldiers came up and stopped beside us. They asked how to get to Xiangshan. We answered that it was not the right time to go to Fragrant Hill, and waited until September or October to see the red leaves of Fragrant Hill. After listening, they were very disappointed, because they wanted to have a picnic on the mountain this time to enjoy the red leaves of Fragrant Hill. So they threw all the food they had prepared for the picnic into our pockets. There's beef sausage, buns, pickles, boiled eggs, and a can of minced meat, enough for a ball.' 'In the afternoon after waking up, one of my neighbors drove crazy to my house, and as she got out of the car, she laughed loudly. She actually handed me a can of cornmeal, and then gave me a lot of bread, beef sausage, boiled eggs and other
I dreamed of food.'
The way she got this food from her neighbor was almost exactly like her dream. The difference was that the soldiers were disappointed that they had come to Xiangshan at a bad time, and instead invited them to a picnic in Badaku. The neighbour gave her all the food left over after the picnic.
It seems that many dreams are really forward-looking, but this is not too surprising, because the subconscious itself has a strong insight, it informs the dreamer in advance in the form of dreams, it can be seen that the prediction of dreams is not the gods in the dark to help, but our subconscious.
