None of my visions have been prophetic. Had a few personally prophetic dreams concerning people I'm connected to or major events in my life.

 

[Student of X]

Here is a recent experience. It happened last year. I was driving to a store to do some shopping. I was turning a corner to enter the parking lot, and I drove past a man walking to the intersection. As I looked at him I had a vision. I saw him on a bus with a gun. I saw the police drag him off the bus. As I was having this flash vision, Jimi Hendrix started singing, "Hey Joe, where you going with that gun in your hand..." on the radio. It was quite sublime, surreal, synchronous.

So I parked my car and did my shopping. About 10 minutes later I finished and as I was driving out of the parking lot I saw a bus up ahead surrounded by police cars. As I drove past it I saw that same guy getting hauled off the bus by cops. The exact same scene I saw in my vision.

I've had prophetic dreams before. Nothing impressive, but enough to convince me that such thins are possible.

Before I became an adult physically I had many visions all accurate and predicting unhappy events for me. The most spectacular below.

I woke up one morning came down stairs for breakfast. My mother was talking to me from the kitchen while I watched kids playing in my backyard. After a few moments I relized I was watching me and my friends. I was bending over by the wood pile picking up a ball.

I relized to late later in the day. I bent over to pick up the ball and relized this played out exactly as I saw. As I got older I relized they were warnings and got out of the situation as soon as posible. That day I didn't as I stood up I got hit in the back of the Head with a rock my friend threw. Hospital visit and several stiches I was fine.

They all included me and were all warnings and after I reached adulthood they stoped.

i dont think that prophetic dreams occur often enough to prove anything. think about how many different dreams you have, and then how likely it is that a few will come true. its partly up to chance, and partly because if part of your prophecy comes true you are going to subconsciously do whatever you can to make it happen

 

[Storm]

That's an interesting perspective. Me, I think if it happens at all, that proves it can happen. That's almost a tautology, but you get my point.

I also think that, as with everything else, some people will be naturally better at it than others.

I was about 7 years old.

I woke up in the middle of the night. Looked across the room and saw what looked like the blessed mother in an off white color dressed like the blue statues you see in the stores she was holding a single red full bloomed rose and looking at me. Nothing else. I waited a little and went back to sleep. Never understood the meaning.

Are you familiar with the symbolism of the rose? Did the blue statues you see in stores have a rose?

"Roses are ancient symbols of love and beauty. The rose was sacred to a number of goddesses (including Isis and Aphrodite), and is often used as a symbol of the Virgin Mary."

[FONT=Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif]"The rose represents the feminine in alchemy, and corresponds to the female sexual organ. The cross is the symbol of the masculine, thus the rose cross, the primary symbol of the Rosicrucian order, is a symbol of union, and of the sacred marriage. The rose cross also represents the union of the natrual world [the rose], and the world constructed by man [the cross].[/FONT]

[FONT=Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif]The rose of the rose cross has five petals, and is therefore a pentagram. The petals represent the five senses, among other meanings. The pentagram, the symbol of witchcraft, has been called the Witches' Rose, because of the fivefold nature of both the pentagram and the rose. It's difficult to observe with modern hybrid roses, but if you look at the older varieteis, you will find the petals usually number in multiples of five-tthat is, five, ten, or fifteen petals.[/FONT]

[FONT=Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif]Lakshmi, the Hindu goddess of love, the most beautiful goddess in the Hindu pantheo, is said to have been born from a rose composed of 108 large and 1,008 small petals. She is always pictured either sitting on a rose, holding roses, or both. A Christian legend says that the rose was thornless in the Garden of Eden. Once Adam and Eve were expelled, the rose grew thorns. Although the rose was associated with goddesses of love [including physical love] in ancient times, by the Middle Ages the rose was the symbol of the Virgin Mary and so came to symbolize purity and innocence. Rosary beads were originally made from rose petals. The word 'rosary' comes from the Latin, rosarium, a rose garden. The first rosaries have 165 beads and are sacred to Mary. [/FONT]

[FONT=Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif]The fairy tale Beauty and the Beast starts with a rose. While Beauty's sister ask for rich clothing and jewels, she asks her father only to bring her back a rose from the voyage. During his travels, while looking for the elusive rose, he is caught in a bad weather and has to spend the night in the Beast's castle. He goes into the Beast's garden and find a perfect rose and picks it for his daughter. The Beast catches him taking it, and demands Beauty come to him in exchange for the rose. The rose and Beauty are, effect, interchangeable.[/FONT]

[FONT=Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif]Here are some final beliefs about roses. The Romans believed that rose petals floated in wine would protect against drunkenness. In medieval Europe, roses were worn as protection against the evil eye. An old German love charm says; Take three roses and wear them over your heart for three days. Then steep them in wine for three days. Strain the wind and give it to the one you desire.[/FONT]

[FONT=Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif]Perfumes and oils derived from roses may be one of the oldest scents used by humans. Rose petals are used in cooking, and yield rose petal jam and candied rose petals. Rosewater, made from rose petals, is also an ingredient in foods and magickal spells. The fruit of the rose, or rose hip, is used in many ways-to flavour jellies, preserves and syrups. Tea containing dried rose hips is rich in vitamin C. In all, roses, originally a symbol of love and beauty, have come to be widely used for thier medicinal properites. And even in these harried modern times, roses are still the most popular flower to give your sweetheart to express your love."[/FONT]​

Have you or someone you know experienced a prophetic dream or vision? If so, please explain.

Yes, however my dreams are specific to me and unlike others I am not inclined to share my dreams in an open forum. If we were sitting, sipping chablis by an open fire, in private, I might confess one, but otherwise I would be inclined to keep them to myself.

To cap this all with a smile, I would suggest that everyone has such dreams but our conscious filters of what constitutes reality has a tendency to trivialize what we present ourselves with in the dream state. In other words, as a society we have become adept at pretending such things out of our existence.

Have you made much of a study of prophetic dreams or visions?

 

[BucephalusBB]

Nope, and I hope to recieve one in the future..
I also hope none of my friends would get one.

 

[Darkwater]

All gambler's get them,all the time.........just that gambling will ultimately lead to destruction & leave you spiritless,same as any other *vice*(as in opposite of virtue).

Human template thought explains the dreams of the prophets.

I have dragged some things(knowledge) from the astral which have made manifest in my mundane sphere,such as the gift of healing.Does this count?

Usually I stick to reading the writing on the wall.....
