My dreams are about future real life events?

My guy, I didn't order these dreams. And the dreams were again seemingly or likely temporally parallel to the real life events, so I was not getting an edge on anybody else in that sense (the edge was "spatial").

 

There is an idea that the ego and also sensory input (and the latter gets virtually shut off in dreams) closes one off to psychic effects. When you remove the filtering on reality (be it the ego or sensory inputs), you start to become susceptible to such influences.

That's precisely correct.  The trick is actually doing it.  Because if you do it with intent, that's ego and you are done for.  Not knowing comes to mind.

My sister is shizophrenic.  Mental illness runs in my family, i was just lucky enough to ONLY get OCD.  Anyways - my take is that the schizophrenic isn't really sick - they may see figures that aren't in "reality" but since reality is imaginary, they are just seeing things outside the constructed dream.  It's glitches in the matrix, if you will.. Would you concur? Also, would it reveal other things about "the matrix"?  Tell us more.

It's a mental illness, and anything is a mental illness, only insofar as it causes harm to the individual or to others . I've heard, from Reddit schizophrenics, that some of their hallucinations are pleasant. But then again, some are terrifying.

Yeah but you rmissing something.  If everything is imaginary, then they are just seein stuff outside the construct.  The construct of this dream that holds everything together.  They are the ones who see the glitches in it.  So in a sense, they're not sick, they are healthier than us because they can point out that it is a dream.  Its fucked up.

That's a great saying.  But do they drown.  Do some schizophrenics realize the Absolute?  There is no grey.
