That kind of vision is not unusual for me. I regularly day dream or night dream the future. And at times, I awaken from my dream while the events are happening in real time. Sometimes, the prophetic or psychic dream, for lack of a better term, are in allegory form and other times they are identical or nearly so to my current reality. My mother is like this too. Sometimes she calls to tell me what she dreamed about me or my kids and to see if it was true. Her accuracy is also profound. She credits God for making things known to her.
But since we interpret God differently, I decided there had to be more to the explanation.
I was brought up to believe that the psychic ability of foresight is evil. What the prophets of the Bible did, however, was something entirely different. One was of God and one was of the Devil. Anyway, back when Tyrone was always lying to me, I felt like my abilities were just good enough to frustrate me. I needed more insight sooner and I needed to learn to identify deceit faster. So what did I do? You know it. I started researching how to become more psychic.
I implemented everything I found. And over the years I continued to research. Eventually, the only thing I found that I wasn’t already doing, was practicing the art of ambidexterity. This practice was so hard at first. It was so easy in the name of time, to just abandon the task of chopping vegetables with my non-dominant hand. And it was grueling and tedious to use my left hand to operate the mouse on my work computer. It also felt so awkward to use my left hand to put the key in the lock on the front door. But I kept doing it.
And that made me develop new awareness. I wasn’t just right handed, I was also right leg and foot dominant. When I walked, it would be my right foot every time that first stepped up onto the curb. It was also my right foot that first stepped onto the moving walkways at the airport. I didn’t consciously plan it that way. It just worked out like that in the same way my right hand automatically reached out first. After that, I noticed I primarily chewed on the right side of my mouth.
Developing my ambidexterity was the solution because it forced me to intentionally be aware of my actions.
More awareness led to more awareness. And that increased awareness dictated what the algorithm of life brought to me. And it also influenced what the TikTok algorithm brought to my FYP. And that’s how I learned, in the video below, from @twitchywitch, about Nietzsche’s time is a flat circle theory and how it can explain prophetic dreams. She created a diagram by drawing a circle with a dot in the middle. And I borrowed her illustration and explanation.
Then I tweaked it so I could demonstrate the best way I was able to wrap my mind around not only the concept she was teaching, but also around alternate realities and “past” lives. Right now, though, I just want to focus on the dot in the middle and the closest circle around it, my current reality. If time is not linear but circular, then in the center dot, is God. Now remember, I define God as Unconditional Love. And where God is, so is “His” kingdom. And the kingdom of God is, at least in part, enlightenment or unity consciousness.
So in that center dot, or bull’s eye, in the diagram below, is all knowledge or the omniscience of God.
The closest circle around it represents my current reality. And every circle thereafter, is my next alternate reality. If you zoom in a little, you can see the three corners of a triangle overlaying the ring which represents my current reality. Because I still need to reference linear time to grasp the most basic concept of circular time, I marked each corner as either the present, past or future. From the bullseye, it is the same distance to each corner.
Therefore, when I dream, and return to the bullseye, I can “see” equally to anywhere in time on that circle. But of course, in this theory, there is only now. For example, one night, when I was an on-call hospice nurse, I had a dream during which a man called and asked to be admitted as a patient. After the call, I strongly admonished my boss that I didn’t think he was eligible for services. I told her there was something terribly wrong with his story. At that exact point, my dream was interrupted by the ringing of my phone. It was the answering service.
Their message was that the very man, about whom I had been dreaming, had called to inquire about patient services. The only difference between my dream version and the awake version was that I didn’t have to convince my boss not to bring him on service. Reportedly, he had been calling the office all week and she already knew about him. So now that I know about the time is a flat circle theory, I wouldn’t call my dream prophetic or psychic unless I define those terms within the parameters of that theory or another theory which I will later discuss.
Whether in the day or night, I do think that some people, for any number of reasons, are able to dream like this much more easily than other people. And those people are the ones whom we call prophets and psychics. Some say this “gift” runs in bloodlines. Others say it is a byproduct of awakening. And astrologers, like the one in the video below, say it is determined by one’s natal chart. All are true for me. My 12th house Mercury could easily be partly to blame. But for now, since I have brought up psychics, it’s time to talk about witches.
Eventually, I will talk about channeling. And I’ll address the theory that prophetic dreaming and psychic knowledge is just another form of pattern recognition. I will also discuss the idea which says communicating with spirits during astral travel is another means of obtaining knowledge.
