Even as many had dreams indicating in July and August that September would be a month of storms,...

Predicting that "September will be a month of storms" is like predicting that "January will be a month of snow". The peak of Hurricane Season is late August through September.

Predicting "an increase in terror" prior to the U.S. Presidential election is likewise a common sense matter.

Dreams are a window to your state of mind. The more that people talk about the obvious fact that terrorists will go into their "late in the fourth quarter offense", the more they will worry about it. The more they worry about it, the more they will dream about it.

The terrorists want us to worry about it, dream about it and talk about it. The terrorists also want us to get others to talk about it, worry about it and dream about it.

I don't dream about it.

When I'm awake, I try to firm up the resolve of the American Home Front so that, as in World War II, the enemy is soundly defeated.

Then you no longer have to worry or dream about it.

I had several dreams (maybe 9 or 10)for about a year prior and up to 9/11 where I witnessed planes crashing. All of them were about me just going about my business in everyday life and then a crash and then massive chaos. I had so many that I began telling people about it because it was so disturbing to me. Of course, they thought it symbolized something else going on in my life, although I have no idea what?!

I haven't had any dreams like that since 9/11.

BELIEVERS are to avoid the sin of worry regardless of whether they are in the line and they are next on the guillotine or otherwise.

Sometimes, dreams are given of God for warning so prep of heart and substance can be made in a timely fashion.

Okay, I teach high school psychology. Dr. Francis Crick, winner of the Nobel Prize and the co-discoverer of DNA theorizes that dreams serve as a helpful mechanism to clean up the clutter of unneeded memories, a housecleaning function, if you will. Now, when Freud wrote his treatise on dreams in 1900, he theorized a manifest content that comes from the day's experiences and a latent content that comes from the person's unconscious wishes. Freud was particularly interested in in wishes concerning childhood psychosexual conflicts. Very few folks today use Freud's system of dream interpretation, but it opened the door to the scientific study of dreams.

On average, a person spends 75% of his time in stages I-IV with stage IV being the deepest sleep of all, it is often very difficult to waken a person in this stage. At this point your mind begins to emit Delta Waves and your eyes begin a rapid sideways movement called REM sleep also called "active sleep." Stages I-IV are NREM or quiet sleep for the lack of eye movement. REM sleep lasts only 10 min or so. Stages I-IV will continually cycle through at 90 min intervals. Each cycle the deepest sleep (IV) decreases and REM sleep increases and this continues until you wake up.

You dream throughout all the stages, but evidence shows the dreams in REM sleep and particularly in the last vestiges of REM before you wake are the most vivid and often disturbing. Some dreams are benign, but a large percentage feature negative emotions: anger, anxiety, sadness. Contrary to popular belief, dreams do not take place in a split second. They correspond on a realistic time scale. The brain is never inactive.

Quix is requesting that folks relate what he refers to as visions that people experience in which a precognitive element seems present. This is covered in parapsychology and is not a field with which I'm deeply familiar.
