Back on topic a bit. Has anyone thought they've ever dreamt stuff which then actually happened at a later date?
I went though a spell of about a year when I was 10 or 11 when this happened to me. It was seriously freaky and I actually started to believe I was dreaming stuff in the future. In hindsight I don't think that was the case (I can elaborate why if anyone is remotely interested) but there were things which happened which turned out quite accurate and my mum and dad were getting freaked out by it too. It was nearly all inconsequential stuff which happened and always to me and not other people.

I'm very open minded. Show me that the earth is flat and I will take it as fact. Introduce me to the aliens who live amongst us and yup, that's good enough. Get me an appointment with god and I will accept that a bloke with a white beard really does live upstairs.
Until then...
Thereby missing the whole concept of having an open mind..... I don't believe in little green men, but that doesn't mean I don't believe in them. There is statistical evidence showing that alien life forms do, in all probability exist. You would be a moron to dismiss that just because you haven't experienced it. You presumably believe in men landing on the moon, yet you haven't personally witnessed it first hand. |

Erm no it doesn't. It's called having an open mind. I have no evidence that proves they exist and I have no evidence to prove they don't. Therefore I have an open mind on the subject. It's not that difficult a concept to grasp, is it? |

Thereby missing the whole concept of having an open mind..... Not at all. An open mind means that you will accept new facts. Being religious or dogmatic (for example) means you will not. I don't believe in little green men, but that doesn't mean I don't believe in them. There is statistical evidence showing that alien life forms do, in all probability exist. You would be a moron to dismiss that just because you haven't experienced it. You presumably believe in men landing on the moon, yet you haven't personally witnessed it first hand.
Little green men may well exist. It is possible. But not FACT. I don't have to 'believe' that men landed on the moon. They did. Rock samples in excess of many kilograms that do not exist on earth have been recovered from our satellite. If I wanted to witness those first hand I would go to a museum and ask to see them. I don't have to as the available supporting information is satisfactory. |

And how would you prove those rocks are from the moon? |

Either Hertha is whooshing or has been whooshed. I don't think I have laughed at a thread so much in ages. It's a shame that the original sentiment has been derailed in a way though. |

No, it's called tautology. I don't believe in little green men, but that doesn't mean I don't believe in them

I don't believe in that either. Prove it. |

And how would you prove those rocks are from the moon? I started writing a reply about spectrographic analysis from the Earth of the moon's geology and corroboration with the rock samples that came back but I really can't be stuffed because this is headed to 'prove to me that the moon landings really happened'. Which is a waste of energy tbh. |

Fuck knows. Unless I've lost the ability to read. But when I did logic "thing a" always equalled "thing a". I don't think I have laughed at a thread so much in ages. It's a shame that the original sentiment has been derailed in a way though.
Nah, the original thing was bollocks. The derailing has been hugely entertaining. What with this and that Udders fan who thinks Jonnie Douglas is some kind of ninja assassin, it's been a highly amusing couple of days |

I didn't see it in a dream, but that doesn't mean I didn't see it in a dream. |
