Dreams can be analyzed from two angles, one is scientific, and the correct one is psychology; Another angle is non-scientific and regards dreams as a mysterious ability.
Let's talk about the mysterious angle first:
From ancient times to the present, there are many stories about dreams, many of which cannot be explained by science. Dreams are mysterious, and the most representative is the virgin pregnancy of the Virgin Mary recorded in the New Testament. The angel in the dream told the virgin Mary, "Your body is pregnant with the son of God", and Mary was born with Jesus Christ.
In addition, in the Old Testament, the story of Pharaoh's dream of predicting harvest and hunger was also recorded. Japan also has this kind of violent story. For example, the Temple of Dreams built by Shoto Kutaishi is a meditation space inspired by dreams. From these perspectives, dreams are full of mystery, and we can also say that dreams can help a person know the future.
If you analyze your dreams from this angle, there is nothing to say. Mysterious events are often unexplained, so they are called "mysteries".
Psychological point of view:
(1) Dreams with "fantasy" and "transfer" psychological motives.
Sigmund? Sigmund freud is a famous psychoanalyst. His views on "paranormal dreams" are as follows:
Some people will feel "deja vu" when they first arrive at a place, and feel that everything there is familiar, as if they were in a dream. This familiarity with the "landscape" may also be a "transfer" of another repressed mind. Freud had a female patient who would never forget a strange thing that happened when she was 12 years old. She went to visit a classmate in the country, and when she entered her compound, she felt that she had been here before. After entering the living room, this feeling is even stronger, but she has never been here. Freud pointed out in his incisive analysis that this kind of familiarity actually comes from another kind of familiarity. It turned out that this classmate had a very sick and dying brother (only when the patient visited her home). The patient's only brother suffered from malignant diphtheria A a few months ago, so he was sent to a distant relative's house for isolation. Forced to leave home, she may have expected her brother to die, but this idea was suppressed. When I visited a classmate's house, I knew that the other person also had a dying brother (she also saw it later). I may vaguely remember having a similar experience a few months ago, but my consciousness could not admit it, so this familiarity was "transferred" into familiarity with gardens and houses.
In another story, Freud had a female patient who dreamed that she met a good friend in front of a shop in a street. This good friend was her former family doctor. I went shopping the next morning, and I met him there, just like a dream repeating itself. However, under Freud's detailed inquiry, it was found that the female patient had "no impression of having this dream last night" from getting up in the morning to seeing the old doctor. When she met the old doctor, "when I saw him, I thought I dreamed of this meeting last night." Freud said, "It doesn't matter whether she really had that dream. The focus of the analysis is why she still remembers. " The analysis results are as follows: It turns out that this female patient met a man in a doctor's house many years ago, and they fell in love at first sight. Over the years, the two have been going back and forth. The night before the dream, she waited for him to go deep, but her hopes were dashed. Freud said: "Because it is not convenient to report all the details here, I soon realized that seeing this old doctor, having the feeling of predicting dreams, is equivalent to saying:" Ah, doctor, you remind me of the past days, that is, how much he valued our date. I never waited for nothing at that time. "The familiarity with the good old days suddenly emerged when she met the old doctor, and the idea of" revisiting the old dreams "was" transferred "into the idea of meeting the old doctor in her dream.
Before you dreamed, your parents had told you that you were happy that a child was coming to your house to play. You dreamed of that boy, eating rice cakes, mowing the grass, and even mowing the fields like a dream. Maybe you have a sense of familiarity with all this, which may come from an event you have experienced. With this familiarity, under some subtle psychological motivation, you "fantasize" about such a dream, and your repressed subconscious "transfers" these familiarity to the events that happened in the dream.
(2) Forward thinking and subconscious insight
The science fiction writer Asimov described the "spacewalk" quite accurately in 1952, which was 13 years earlier than the real spacewalk. But no one said that Asimov had "predictive ability", and everyone thought it was "reasonable speculation", because people are creatures with "forward thinking" and dream about the death of their loved ones. For example, the psychologist from Spain mentioned above remembered his father in his hometown and his overweight weight, and the idea that "he may have died of a stroke" came into his mind. This is a "reasonable worry", and this worry was programmed into his dream.
Fromm (E. Fromm) also mentioned a "supernatural dream" with psychological insight:
Once, A and B met to discuss their future cooperation. A has a good impression on B, so she decides to regard B as a business partner. On the night after meeting, A had the following dream: "I saw B sitting in our shared office. He is looking through the ledger and tampering with some figures on the ledger to cover up the fact that he misappropriated a lot of public funds. "
After a woke up, he felt that this dream was his hostility and suspicion to B. He forgot this dream and formally cooperated with B. One year later, A found that B had indeed occupied a large amount of public funds without authorization and covered up this behavior with false records in the account books. Fromm thinks that the prophetic nature of dreams may indicate the insight into B when A and B meet for the first time. Our impression of a person is often not as simple as we want to believe. A intuitively thinks that B is a dishonest person, but B's external image gives A a very good impression. He suppressed the bad idea that "B is dishonest" (it is always bad to doubt others from the beginning). This pent-up thought is hard to emerge when he is awake, but it is rampant in his night dreams, resulting in a prophetic dream.
Your supernatural dream may be explained by people's "thinking ahead" and "insight". Your parents may have mentioned this person named "Guo Fang" in front of you. They may have described their appearance, age, etc. Of this country. You have the impression of this person subconsciously, but in reality you have never seen him, and your repressed impression appears in your dream.
You dreamed that all the activities you did happened. Ask yourself how many activities your child can do. Is grass seed rice cake a local flavor food? In fact, there are only a few games you play. It is reasonable for you to dream of mowing the grass or eating local food. These are called "forward thinking" and "insight".
(3) Dreams become self-fulfilling prophecies.
A person who cares too much about the "third knowledge" provided by dreams may also make dreams a "self-fulfilling prophecy". There is a fee in Strange Tales from a Lonely Studio, which says, "A villager bought a cow, which is quite robust. One night, a man dreamed that the cow had wings and flew away. He thought it was an ominous dream when he woke up. He suspected that it would be lost, so he sold Petunia at a discount in the market. He wrapped the silver he sold in a cloth towel on his arm. On his way home, he saw an eagle eating the carrion of a dead rabbit on the roadside. Before a certain armor approached, the eagle was very docile and didn't fly away. He tied the eagle's legs with a cloth head, wrapped them around his arm and continued to walk home. The bound eagle fluttered all the way, and a certain armor didn't pay attention. The eagle flew into the sky with a cloth wrapped in silver.
On the surface, the dream prediction that "the cow has wings and flies away" has come true symbolically, but if A doesn't think it is ominous to sell the cow in the dream, how can the cow fly away? We can say that this is a person who was hinted by a dream and realized that prophecy by himself.
In the novel Qiu Guang, another story about Zhu, a great scholar in the early Qing Dynasty, said that Zhu liked duck very much. When he was young, he dreamed that he was walking through the suburbs. He saw a big pool with thousands of ducks in it. The boy in the guard said to him, "This is your food, sir." Later, when Zhu was 8 1 year-old, he was in bed because of a minor illness and dreamed of the big pool he dreamed of when he was young. As a result, he found that there were only two ducks left in the pool. After waking up, he felt ominous and warned his family not to cook or kill ducks again. Unexpectedly, my daughter just came back to visit the sick. Knowing that her father likes to eat duck, she slaughtered two at home and brought them to honor her father. Zhu saw the two cooked ducks and sighed and said, "Is this the end of my food record?" "That night, he died.
This is also a "self-fulfilling prophecy". Zhu was convinced of the prophecy in his dream and warned his family not to kill ducks again, but "people are not as good as the sky." When he saw two ducks sent by his daughter, his "psychological defense line" collapsed, which may be the case, making his illness worse and he died.
In your dream, you see that your friend is going to eat rice cakes, and then you go to mow the grass. The mowing field is the same as that in Mongolia. If you use "self-realization" to explain it, you may be led by dreams. At this time, you may propose to mow the grass and go to the lawn you are familiar with. Even if you don't propose anything, you may inadvertently propose these activities, so that you will go to the activities in your dreams. You can also tell your parents about eating rice cakes and mowing the grass before your friends come. Your parents may suggest you to play the activities you say. There are many possibilities. Simply put, your behavior has been indirectly influenced by your dreams, but you don't know it yourself.
(4) Psychological factors in coincidence.
"Coincidence" seems to be a mathematical probability problem, but if there are psychological factors involved, it will also become a psychological problem. Most people often say, "What a coincidence in the world?" But most people ignore the following mathematical problem: personally, if a person dreams five or six times a night, then he will dream more than 65438+ million dreams in his life. If there are one or two external events, scenes or other people's ideas in these 65438+ million dreams, the probability is not "slim". For all people, how many are there every night? If this probability is combined with the explanation of "as it wishes", it will be even more powerful.
Zhang Han, a man of Amin Dynasty, mentioned his two "prophetic dreams" in A Dream at a Song Window: once, when he was studying, he dreamed that a green-faced ghost gave him a pair of red shoes with "36" engraved on them, and later took part in the provincial examination, ranking "49th". Once again, I took the provincial exam and went to Beijing to take the Beijing exam. I dreamed that a man gave him ten pence in green money and told him to throw ten coppers on the ground. Those with more backs were on the list. He threw it twice in his dream, once with six backs and once with seven backs. The man said, "It's enough to throw such a number." As a result, he was also on the list, ranking "42nd".
Zhang Han said: "One is 49, and the other is 67. The numbers are all coincident." But the so-called "coincidence" is the first time to disassemble the real ranking "forty-nine" and multiply it by four to get the dream "thirty-six"; The second time is to multiply the six in the dream by seven to get the real ranking of "forty-two". The two calculation methods are completely opposite, and the common law is simply the psychological law of "clever calculation and single heart". In fact, if the experimental students in Zhang Han Township rank ninth, third, eighteenth and second, they will add, subtract, multiply and divide the six and three in their dreams. His worries will also be considered as "coincidence". As long as he "intentionally believes", I believe he can always find clues about the "coincidence" between dreams and reality.
Some dreams in our life will involve people (including ourselves) and events in the external real world, so let's say one in a thousand, but most people always talk about one or two accidental coincidences, and it is easy to forget other 1000 failed predictions or feelings.
Your dreams can be analyzed by "selective cognition". Think about it, what happened in your dream, is it completely realized? Are there still some parts that have not been realized? What may be realized is just a coincidence, and what is not realized will be selectively ignored. You only take out the "coincidence" part and analyze it, and the part that doesn't conform to the coincidence will be forgotten in your subconscious. Think about how many dreams you have had so far. Many of them are not "realized", and a coincidence dream will be considered as a "realized" dream.

The above explanations are both scientific and unscientific. Think it over, I think you will find the answer you want.
