Last week - I started having recall of a precognitive dream I had back in 1975. I started a blog to journal my thoughts as they recall onleashes inside of me. For those who know something part of my story - I developed psychogenic amnesia as a side effort to a chronic cardiac condition I grew up with in childhood. I had no memories of the various eposides in my childhood leading up to the age of 18. I was constantly hearing stories from my relatives about how I used to speak about 'reincarnation' as a child as if it was a fact due to my memories of it as a child. It was nothing but a puzzle to me. Another thing that was mentioned from time to time from my Mom, Maternal Grandfather and Paternal Grandmother was a precognitive dream that I had carried on about for several years. (15 to 16.) My Grandfather passed away in 1999. I took care of him during the final months and he brought up that precognitive dream and reminded me that I had many people convinced it was going to come true one day.
- The existence of precognition, as with other forms of extrasensory perception, is not accepted as other than a purely psychological process by the mainstream scientific community because no replicable demonstration, "on demand", has ever been achieved.
- Scientific investigation of extrasensory perception (ESP) is complicated by the definition which implies that the phenomena go against established principles of science. Specifically, precognition would violate the principle that an effect cannot occur before its cause. Source: Wikipedia
Hints of that memory started surfacing last year and I couldn't recall enough of it to make sense of it.
The vision that came to me in a dream in 1975 was about a card that was called a 'scratcher.' No one had heard of such a thing in 1975. I described it to my Mom and she asked around and found out about a concept that had been introduced in Massachusetts called an "Instant Card." You scratched off hidden numbers to win a type of lottery that was being ran by the state. The more details I shared with my Mom and Grandparents, the more they became convinced that I was going to win the jackpot playing the lottery in the future. (Specifically a million dollar jackpot.)
Unfortunately, my Grandparents and Mom have passed away. I don't recall anyone else I spoke about it with back in 1975 other than them. One of the last things my Grandfather spoke with me about before he passed away was how he and my Grandmother wished they would live long enough to see that dream come true for me.
In 1989, I had been overseas for many years and returned home for a visit with my Grandparents. My Grandparents lived 45 miles from the border of Missouri which had just started a State Lottery. My Grandfather was trying to get me to remember that dream and take a drive across the state line with him. I had no idea what he was talking about. He told me (in 1989) that as a teenager (in 1975) I had told him I would recognize the card if I saw it. I had described it to him in detail. When I couldn't recall the conversation in 1989, he told me, "Just remember the Red Skins Grandson, if you get stuck with it when the time comes to remember."
A year ago, I was maybe 51% convinced that Lady Luck was going to shine a light on me in the future. Last week, with the lasted recall - I am now up to 95% convinced. (I can't recall all the details that I had access to as a 15 year old teenager so there is room for doubt in my adult mind.) I am trying to be my own skeptic when it comes to this.
Last week, I feel I found the type of card I spoke about seeing in a dream of many years ago. It is a Red and Gold card with gold coins on it. I had told them it would have the word "Fortune" written on it in yellow letters. The card was just introduced last week and when I saw it - deja vu hit me hard. I was trying to figure out where I saw that card before.
I know this not a scientific method but thought for the sake of inquiring minds - it might be fun to put the story out here prior to the event taking place for documentation once it comes to pass. Also, I am trying not to count my chickens before they are hatched - but it has been sort of driving me crazy this last week.
I once told my Grandfather, (when I was 15) that the 'two spirits' that had been with me when the 'vision' was given had told me they didn't want to reveal everything - so as not to ruin the surprise when it came. Recalling it has sent me into a little bit of a shock and taken me totally by surprise.
Sincerely,
