Most of what we know exists, we know very little about.\n\nMany people's so called delusions are just better perception and/or involve having more experience than others.\n\nSome things commonly believed "delusions" are more real than you suspect, I can guarantee it.

Dreams are methaporic messages (similar to abstract art) sent from your "Higher self" in the "2nd world" (unconsious world) to give you hints or a heads up on forecomings in the not so distant future.  I know this sounds loopy but if you have an open mind then you shouldn't think this is weird.  Also if you dream about something like turning into a demon, that doesn't mean that you will...it may mean that you are possibly thinking about doing something that will change the way people look or see you as (negatively).  Try interpreting your dreams, it's fun.

Hi Brenda--let's put it this way: "Most" people who haven't got it don't believe in it.  I've no choice since I've got it.  Sometimes I wish that I didn't. There are various "categories"--one that is often painful to me, is the non-intellectual floating senses about someone, often at great distances, of "concern." I'm always COMPELLED to find this person; for some reason that seems almost serendipity, I do, & discover (without exception) either that they have died, or are in a very tenuous health/emotional situation. In the latter case I do "help" by simply listening, or being able to provide suggestions. I find this quite draining, however. Precognition is different in that I've prevented potentially fatal incidents, or been able to "warn" someone & direct them in ways that preclude what would have been a disaster. Not always! but often. I'll also feel a good "energy" & discover that all my friends are experiencing positive things & gaining insights. My "night" dreams, (there are many different kinds of dreams also), have given me profound messages. I do not have the single psychic ability my mother had. She knew the instant of someone's death. I'll never forget her running out into the freezing Wisconsin Winter night because she heard her brother calling her. We lived in a very rural area, no phone. The following day, my aunt drove out from the city to tell her he had died, & it was at the precise time she heard him. (She had many more experiences like this.) I've had many, many more, but shan't belabour them here. People who know me well have relied on me for the things that I "see" & sense.  Some people will scoff at the very idea of psychic abilities, just as they do about astrology, (I can perceive the 3 major signs in a stranger the moment I meet them, although I can't always be specific of "how" I do this). To the few people who "hassle" me--the disbelievers--I simply say that they aren't "required" to believe, & will NEVER get into a debate with them. I KNOW that I'm psychic, & just used these few rather general examples. I hope no one "jokes" about your question, yet I rather think that SOMEONE will. YOU know what you are, & that's truly all that counts, isn't it?\n\n*** Just looked at your answers. "Amy" must know something about you that I don't; your question asked what others believed, not to tell you if you are. But ThatLady made me aware I hadn't mentioned that I'm only a "receiver." No further comments needed....

They call it misdirection. What the mind sees thinks is real. When they show you one thing they are secretly doing something you wouldn't know what to look for on the side to get the awe inspiring effect. Only other magicians or people on the "know" can understand. Scientifically, the whole world would know if Chris Angel really levitated or he'd be locked in a jar for Military research and we would never see something like that for real.

Anything is possible. But I haven't seen it for myself yet on this matter. There's a lot of stuff out there that we have no proof of yet we still believe it to be true. For example, God...we haven't seen God or the Holy Spirits but we have faith that its True or vice versa. So , I guess it is up to you. There's a lot of stuff out there that we don't know about, why cut our dreams short and say it's not possible. BE Optimistic---anything is possible....even time traveling.

There are many theories, including dream travel, telepathy, and reincarnation. According to scientific research, it is merely a false memory which is created in the subconscious mind. For example, one may percieve a present scene, but their subconcious will regester it as a past event. It is often linked to schizophrenia and anxiety disorders. However, people with synesthesia, out of body, or near death experiences may frequently experience Deja Vu.

Your mind is a gift from GOd, to help you sort out things you need to know. It gives you a better chance to cope with life...if you have very unusual dreams, then pay attention to what they are telling you, and evaluate them carefully.

I have read documented accounts of "ghosts" appearing in photographs that weren't visible when the pictures were\ntaken,and being recognized as dead family members and the like. Also,recordings have been made in houses reputed to be haunted,and voices were heard on the tape that weren't\naudible at the time. I can't believe all such cases are fraud,there's too many of them.\n \n Maybe ghosts only appear to certain people who have the ability to detect them,unlike most of us. Most people who claim to be psychics are frauds,but there are people with\ngenuine psychic abilities in the world. Also,maybe some ghosts have unfinished business with certain people. \nAs we are the living,there's no way to know.

Maybe it'll happen again tonight :-)  Past Life?, no way..  Sounds like you've been watching lots of movies and having fantasies, and your brain put it all together for you last night!

Not superstitious, but I think that dreams tell you what you really believe and even want to believe in your heart. It is you thinking without subconsciously second guessing yourself.

Concentrate on this: There are some things in our life that we want them to happen. For eg. one may wish to be married to a person of his choice. So what we want to happen with us is something which is always there in our sub-conscious mind. And since we have no control over the inactive part of our brain (almost 90%) we see our wishes in our dreams.\n\nOtherwise, dreams may also be te fears or fancies in our sub-conscious mind. eg. the fear of ghosts etc. \n\nIn no way they are related to our future. But yes, if you convert your dreams to reality, they better are.

It is real in the sense that many people have had experiences that fit the description of what one would imagine astral projection to be like.  On the other hand, coming from a person who has had this sort of experience, I have no way of knowing whether it was a hallucination/dream or whether I actually experienced awareness outside of my body.\n\nA more important question would perhaps be, is your everyday experience real?  What do we mean when we say "real"?

It's a parapsychological phenomenon. It means that someone can use the power of their own mind to see things, objects, places, etc. that are remote in distance and time. That is, they can see inside closed rooms, even in another country. It's almost as if they are in spirit form, and walk in spirit form, and can see through different eyes.

I see, if it is a human spirit, the person the spirit was in live.  They are kind of washout like a old photo that as faded.  If it is inhuman I see it in its true form which usually not a pleasant thing to see.  By the why I never ask for money when helping out in a haunting.  I turn it down when it is offered.

What one believes is their "perception" of reality. Everyones' reality, or perception of, is different. So, if they believe it to be true then for that individual it is. Most ppl look at things in a subjective manor. The trick is teaching them how to do both,so they may draw a more realistic conclusion, or one that is a bit more accepted by society in general... Just a thought.

Some people have these spontaniously.  If your not one of those lucky people you can practice certian visualization techniques that can increase the likelyhood of your having one or more.  Those of you who think these are not real will never experience them because your close minded to the posibilities of the human potential and have likely accepted life the way it has been fed to you over the course of your life.  We are so much more than we appear.  I for one cannot accept the idea that we are created in our gods image and can do no more than physicaly manipulate our environment.  there must be more to us and enough people over the course of recorded time have shown certain abilities be it psychic , seemingly super human strength under situations of great durress, remote viewing that is real enough that our government funded its use for years under the "stargate" program.  All of these things point to the latent human abilities.  Good luck to you.  You can do whatever you think you can...and the opposite of that statement is true also
