Yes, the unconscious always picks up things that the conscious has never picked up before. Perhaps this is why the unconscious always forces us to react a certain way in certain situations.Originally posted by Wolf's Sun
Okay - having studied Psych for 2 years maybe I can shed some light here...
Dreams, according to Freud (who IMHO has done the most comprehensive work on dreams), are manifestations of thoughts and desires within the unconscious. Dreams are usually a combination of symbolic and 'literal' elements...
Let me stress that dreams represent the UNCONSCIOUS - things you know/feel but which you are not directly aware of at the moment. Freud's theory goes on to say that behaviour is motivated by unconscious mental processes (including the pleasure principle: that we work to maximise pleasure & minimise pain).
So - if you were (unconsciously) anticipating something - it makes sense then that you might dream of it and, without knowing it, behave to make that thing happen. It's one form of Self-Fulfilling Prophecy.
Hope that helps... but keep in mind that's Freud's explanation and not the only one.

One example that we all encounter with the unconscious (you're not forced to agree with me, but we shall see):
The bed. What's it used for? To sleep, right? (No no boys, sleeping only in this context.) Say you're very wide awake in the late evening, but you're tired. When you flop on the bed, your conscious still says: I'm wide awake. But soon, you fall asleep. Why is that? Because your unconscious is telling you to sleep. The reason is that the unconscious associates the bed with slumber and it's already hammered in our minds, whether you're conscious or not.
Does anybody agree with me?

I'm not an American I'm a Filipino and in the Philippines we don't have planes like that.Originally posted by Kaldaris
The government has planes that can go 0 to 500 mph in less then 3 minutes, it goes so fast is fuses its own cracks and such, however the engine is so powerful it uses fossil fuels, which we dont have much of, but that is the fastest plane we KNOW about.
Yea but our planes might be spying on your country as a stepping stone for world domination!Originally posted by Maverick

that happened to me hundreds of times some of them were months apart. I was so scared when I saw something happen that happen in a dream, now I just tune it out once I see something like that.that's happened to me so many times....i, too, would say it's coincidence, but i'd like to think otherwise, mainly because that would be...interesting. because i've dreamed things like what my brother will get on a test, what he'll say while doing a certain activity AND getting a certain score on that activity...and they were all accurate. i really don't know how my subconcious could pick that up, so there probably is *some* explanation...
