Most people, even practicing mystics like the ones in this thread, can only remember one of two explicitly prophetic dreams. Usually the foreshadowing is symbolic. Which is why you should read prior entries. Read yesterday's entry before bedtime and look for things that might allude to the day you just had. When you do this enough you'll start having the experience of recognizing the foreshadowing as the event occurs

>Oh so this is what that was about.

I'd think that if the phrasing were meant to reinforce His authority TLP would be "Lord I beseech you to not let me fall into temptation." Instead it's phrased as an order.

I don't know what this actually means, and I don't believe that early Christians were taught they were just telling God what to do, but I find the formula interesting.

Never heard of it. Can you explain it?

Yeah. That's another place where Freud has it wrong. The time horizon isn't fixed, but it's *usually* twelve waking hours in either direction. Freud liked to talk as if there were no exceptions to his observations.


I wonder if dreams are ever recursive: e.g. symbolic of prior dreams.
