No.Is precognition possible by human beings?
1. There are no mechanisms that would allow a human to experience a precognitive episodeOriginally posted by caumaan
Why don't you think it is i possible?
Tart explains how he first got interested in the paranormal in the following story told at a talk he gave in Casper, Wyoming:
There was a time, years ago, when I was highly skeptical of any paranormal claims of any kind. One of the things that convinced me that there must be something to this is a strange experience that I personally went through. It was wartime. I was at Berkeley, California, and everybody was working overtime...the young lady who was my assistant at the time worked with me until very late this one night. She finally went home; I went home. Then the very next day she came in, all excited...She reported that during this night she had suddenly sat bolt upright in her bed, convinced that something terrible had happened. “I had a terrible sense of foreboding,” she said, but she did not know what had happened. “I immediately swung out of bed and went over to the window and looked outside to see if I could see anything that might have happened like an accident. I was just turning away from the window and suddenly the window shook violently. I couldn’t understand that. I went back to bed, woke up the next morning and listened to the radio.” A munitions ship at Port Chicago had exploded. It literally took Port Chicago off the map. It leveled the entire town and over 300 people were killed...She said she had sensed the moment when all these people were snuffed out in this mighty explosion. How would she have suddenly become terrified, jumped out of bed, gone to the window, and then - from 35 miles away, the shock wave had reached Berkeley and shook the window? (Randi 1992)
There is no need to perceive this event as paranormal, according to James Randi, who tape-recorded the story. A shock wave travels at different speeds through the ground and through the air. The difference over 35 miles would be about 8 seconds. Most likely the shaking Earth woke up the young lady in a fright and 8 seconds later the window shook. She and Tart assumed that the explosion took place when the window shook, making her experience inexplicable by the known laws of physics. This explanation only makes sense, however, if one ignores the known laws of physics.

Why do you ask the question here? Ask yourself the question just once and you will have your answer. This I give you my word. If you understand this response you will have your own visions, be careful what you ask for.
Dreams have absolutely no significance in interpreting the world around you.
You don't need a dream to tell that.Originally posted by Andy
So your telling me that if i have a nightmare about spiders i am not going to be scared of spiders in real life?
If I remember my Psychology correctly, you are unconscious while you are asleep, this includes REM sleep. It can be summed up like this: Even while you are dreaming, you are unaware of your own existence and unable to control your own actions (unless you happen to be having a lucid dream, but those are rare).The fact is that your brain beleives that you are awaake when you are dreaming so when you are awake how does the brain distinguish between what has been dreamed and what has actually happened?
Andy, besides percog visions, regular dreams and sometimes intense dreams are also a powerful method of discovering things your conscious mind cannot sometimes break through. This has happened to me on many an occasion. Dreams are a powerful method of understanding yourself and the world around you. It has been a method of understanding the world for since the dawn of man. It is only the arrogant unconscious and destructive society that we live in today which views life in narrow boxes, that denies reality without thought. Amazing. We have put a man on the moon and yet we have not yet acknowleged the truth. That is because the truth is quite dangerous to the unconscious juggernaut of human motion. We would actually have to open our eyes to see where we are going. That would be quite scary would it not.
Precognition is the ability to have foreknowledge or awareness of future events before they occur. It is often described as a form of extrasensory perception (ESP) and is believed to be a natural, yet rare, phenomenon.
Precognition and prediction are often used interchangeably, but they are actually two distinct concepts. Prediction is based on logical reasoning and past experiences, while precognition involves receiving information about future events through non-physical means.
There is no conclusive scientific evidence that supports the existence of precognition. However, there have been numerous studies and experiments conducted that suggest the possibility of precognitive abilities. Further research is needed to fully understand this phenomenon.
There is no definitive answer to this question. Some believe that everyone has the potential for precognition, but it may be more prominent in certain individuals. Others believe that it is a rare and innate ability that cannot be learned or developed.
Precognition involves having knowledge of future events, while predetermination suggests that events are predetermined and cannot be changed. Precognition allows for the possibility of free will and the ability to change the future, while predetermination implies a lack of control over our lives.
