[Knight of Fools]

Then he must make sure it happens exactly as he saw it, or else there'll be a time paradox.

Is it bad that I've done this?

Playing one of the older Civilization games, and a Deja Vu hit me. I knew exactly what I was going to do, so I did something else.

I guess I inadvertently broke time itself. Sorry guys.

[Loud Whispers]

Bah, Time's been broken for a while now, someone should really fix it :\

[The Fool]

I wouldn't worry about it. I've had moments like that. I had a dream that I was living in a hostel, and a year and a half later I was staying in a hostel with the exact layout of the one in my dream. It kind of creeped me out, but it seemed to happen a fair amount for me, so I stopped worrying. I seem to see detailed locations more than actual events, but my grandma could occasionally see events.

My grandma had a dream that a relative's dad had died, and so she called up the person. She told them about the dream and that she had a bad feeling. Later that day he died of a heart attack. I don't think she talked to them for a very long time after that. There were a few other times as well.

I think it must run in the family for me too. You can't really stop an event from happening, because you'll either recognize it in hindsight or have no control over it. I've never considered myself a seer, but you aren't alone if this is what mean.

Be careful. It's just possible that you are the Kwisatz Haderach

IIRC, the Kwisatz Haderach had to be male.

It could be an indicator that you could be a powerful Bene Gesserit, though. Try doing a handstand. Did you black out, or did the Golden Path suddenly reveal itself to you?

[Loud Whispers]

All depends how superstitious you are.

my phone is a hinderance to clearity     was on drugs for event happened exactly both parts in order feel and was preceeded by deja vus and "omg that song is real" moments i might have passed out when i had it as well and it was a complete change for my everyday life to the event.

Then take it as a moment of magical beauty and carry on with a subtly enriched life.  Acceptance is great and questioning is even better, but fixation will get you nowhere

[Cthulhu]

One thing nobody ever considers is the possibility that you never actually had the dream in question.  I've had dreams where I could swear I'd had the dream before, and real events I could've sworn I'd dreamed before, but when I really thought about it there was no way I could have had the dream before.

Dreams are weird, and you can never trust them even after you're awake.

[Jelle]

I don't mean to stir things up or insult peoples beliefs but I'd like to ask.

Those that think they have such prophecies and one came true, could you also tell me also wether you've had any that didn't come to pass, and if so how many?

[The Fool]

I admit that it doesn't happen often for me, but then again I also don't often lucidly dream. I don't use drugs, if that makes any difference at all. I lucidly dream about five to six times a year.

Usually I have moments like those about three to four times a year, but I wouldn't really call them prophecies so much as a glimpse really. It's like deja vu, except you realize that you saw this before in a lucid dream. Even then it's mostly locations for me, not events.

There's a weird phenomena; sometimes when a person comes up with a story, knowing they made it up, they eventually come to accept it as if it were fact - and completely forget that they made it up, or cannot tell if they originally did. What's difficult about spotting it in real life is that even if it were happening to you, you wouldn't be able to tell if it really happened or not. Funky stuff.

In my experience with this type of thing, attempting to change it fails utterly.

Or you get Schrödinger up in this, and simply knowing the outcome changes it entirely, but you cannot know without looking again, at which you change it AGAIN.

Well, my brief experiments lead to a rather disturbing lack of free will on my part.

Free will is overrated
