            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I need not your belief. I need help in finding questions to answers not yet understood by most of modern man.</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*Sn85dnBcjspbYpPGbvGEPw.png" /></figure><p>I have had copious amounts of anomalous experiences occur throughout my life, as have all of you.</p><p>The truth is,</p><p>Most people do not sincerely care about the nature of their experience. In fact, they care so little that they live an almost entirely reactionary existence without realising.</p><p>When something out of the ordinary occurs to you,</p><p>Often there is no memory from prior experience to relate the extraordinary experience occuring to you. So by nature of bewilderment, you remain in a state of amazement. Since nothing from memory stands out as something that relates to the current experience, you dismiss whatever the extraordinary experience may be as a mere ‘coincidence’ or a figment of your incredulous imagination.</p><h4>3 Examples of phenomena one may dismiss as coincidence:</h4><ol><li>You notice the thought of Jane randomly popped into your head as you were walking your dog. A few seconds later, Jane text’s or calls. A simple coincidence you think. <em>Wrong you are</em>.</li><li>You walk around noticing the same number synchroncities everywhere you go. 111, 222, 333, 121, 459, etc. A funny coincidence you think. <em>Wrong you are</em>.</li><li>Someone you knew unexpectedly dies and you see and commune with the deceased in the dream state and recieve specific messages. “What a crazy dream” you then think. <em>Wrong you are.</em></li></ol><p>In society we think there exists the <em>cause</em> AND THEN the <em>effect</em>. This is because most of our ordinary life is percieved under this flow.</p><p><strong><em>Cause -&gt; Effect</em></strong></p><blockquote>It bewilders no reader that; You tie a shoelace (cause): Your shoelaces become tied (effect).</blockquote><blockquote>It bewilders <strong>almost all </strong>readers that; Your shoelaces are tied (effect), and then you tie the shoelace (cause).</blockquote><blockquote>Most will exclaim, “This is impossible: The cause must come before the effect”.</blockquote><blockquote>Few will exclaim, “Only under most ordinary circumstances. Yet not all circumstances are ordinary.”</blockquote><p>There can &amp; does exist the EFFECT which precedes the CAUSE. The ‘effect’ quite literally leads to the cause understood only in the illusion of the time in place we term ‘now’. This idea in physics is known as retrocausality and I opine the notion that in the next few years, this field of study will become absolutely mainstream. This will be a result from more people like me coming forth and open with the nature of their experiences, sincerely &amp; truthfully.</p><p>It is my hope that true science may develope methods in order to test and develope a framework necessary to remove any obfuscation to the natural abilities we all inherently possess, most specifically with respect to retrocausality in the nature of the dream state known as “Swapna”.</p><p>I was 16 when I had an extremely vivid dream one night. I watched a plane fly vertically upwards into the sky, turn over to its side and begin nose diving down into the ground with an enormous fireball enveloping the distintigrating craft.</p><p>I felt the sense of what could only be described as ‘curiosity’. “What’s going on here?” I remember feeling as I was IN the experience.</p><p>I remember the experience becoming somewhat of a bleed between myself being the actor partaking in the experience unfolding and also to being the actual experience itself unfolding. These are the only words I know how to use to describe the ‘feelings’ during the state of witnessing the experience unfold as it did.</p><p>After I watched the plane crash in the dream, I awoke as if like ‘falling’ into my body and quickly ushered myself up, breathing frantically and in a frightened state. “What just happened!?” I thought to myself.</p><p>It has been too long to remember exactly what transpired after I woke up but I do remember telling my mum the next morning about the incredible nature of what occured in my dream.<strong> ‘It felt so real’, </strong>I incessently explained. I have a tendency to tell my mum dreams after I awake, as in my younger years I had also experienced the same phenomena of dreams coming true before they did to which my mum knew of my ability.</p><blockquote>My mum herself, dream’t of 9/11 a few days before it happened.</blockquote><p>A few days went by and I forget about my dream.</p><p>I finished school one afternoon and took the bus back home. I decided to go to the gym to get a quick workout in before my shift at McDonald’s later that night.</p><p>As I began to run on the treadmill, I look towards the TV’s and start watching. As I did, a news commercial came on which depicted the footage of an Afghanistan cargo plane travelling vertically up, turn on its side, begin a nosedive and disintegrate into a fireball as it impacted the ground below.</p><blockquote>Below are screenshots to relate what I saw in my dream, frame by frame: What you see; is what I saw. I still get goosebumps rewatching it, 9 years later, today.</blockquote><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*4hwS8FeqKTkerUSC7-Aawg.png" /></figure><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*hA9cehwj6OHdYKkhROx-jw.png" /></figure><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*In2vzeIS5ZXLM0oubz2pVQ.png" /></figure><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*PcQfYNEDBIxnZFrEnEgZ9w.png" /></figure><p>As I watched this occur, goosebumps and shivers trembled viciously throughout my entire body to which I quickly came to a halt from running. The only description of what it felt like is the same feeling you feel as you feel a “psychedelic” experience start to begin. Alternatively, if you’ve never had this experience, perhaps you could relate if you have experienced a form of sleep paralysis where you wake up at 2am in the morning, can’t move and feel as if a defibrillator is pumping strong currents of electricity throughout your body. If you cannot relate, I am sorry, I do not know how to word the feeling in a way that is experientially relatable to you. All that can be said, ‘<em>a weird feeling</em>’ indeed.</p><p>I knew what I watched on TV was what I watched unfold / playout in my dream. How? I am unsure exactly ‘<em>how’</em> I knew besides from this resounding “electrical” pulsation feeling, rampaging through my body which is common in all the same types of experiences of precognition for me.</p><p>I stopped my gym session almost as quick as it began, rushed home and frantically told mum about what just occurred and how it related to my dream a few days prior.</p><p>This was not the first time a dream came true EXACTLY how I dream’t it.</p><p><strong>Noticeable synchronicities with respect the aforementioned event:</strong></p><p>You may watch the unfortunate footage of the plane crashing just below:</p><iframe src="https://cdn.embedly.com/widgets/media.html?src=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fembed%2Ff_TfNAjMI0I%3Ffeature%3Doembed&amp;display_name=YouTube&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3Df_TfNAjMI0I&amp;image=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2Ff_TfNAjMI0I%2Fhqdefault.jpg&amp;key=a19fcc184b9711e1b4764040d3dc5c07&amp;type=text%2Fhtml&amp;schema=youtube" width="640" height="480" frameborder="0" scrolling="no"><a href="https://medium.com/media/4667542c0ea3a99d93ab8db90b2c342d/href">https://medium.com/media/4667542c0ea3a99d93ab8db90b2c342d/href</a></iframe><p>In this clip (and others), if you watch until the 47 second mark, you will hear an audible static interference of some kind. This strikes me as fascinating. <strong>I know</strong> from my own experience I experienced that entire event unfold. This is something you have to just take for granted unfortunately. HOW? I do not know exactly. I just know that I did.</p><p>Now in taking it as Truth that I did experience this event unfold exactly how you see, I question: Is it possible that in someway, whatever the dream state is, caused an interaction with the device recording during the moment? If so, did the nature of my interaction with whatever the dream state actually is, lead to an audible sound you now hear at 47 seconds as static interference, and ultimately, to you now reading this article?</p><p>If so, this is retrocausality.</p><p>How?</p><p>You hear a sound in the video at 47 seconds. Beep Beep Boop Boop.</p><p>The Cause? Interference.</p><p>The Effect? Sound. (Beep Beep Boop Boop)</p><p>Cause before Effect. (Fits our current model of reality — OK)</p><p>However,</p><p>If it is taken that somehow I interacted with the device, you hear the beep beep boop boop ONLY as a result of my effect making the cause.</p><p>If I didn’t interact in swapna with that moment in time,</p><p>You would not hear Beep Beep Boop Boop, nor would you be reading this article now.</p><p>Therefore,</p><p>The ONLY reason you are reading this article now is because of the cause of interference within the video, a result of my effect through dreaming.</p><p><strong>Retrocausality</strong>.</p><p>This intensly emotional event as you see, occurs pretty much at 3:33pm. For me in my own life, I notice number synchroncities like a smoker notices their cravings. The older I get, the more aware to the nature of number synchroncities I become.</p><p>Why is it that the explosion occurred at 3:33? How is it that I observed the entire event unfold while my body lay asleep half a world away? How is it that I saw this event occur BEFORE it actually occurred in ‘ordinary’ life?</p><p>To me, I believe there is a fundamental aether that space and time exist within. That aether is like the topological network connecting all points in spacetime whilst remaining entirely outside the purview and influence of space and time. In accessing this underlying topological network (something most humans have forgotten how to do), extraordinary experiences occur where you may tune into future or past events of high emotional intensity which you deduce the experience into what is termed “the now”. Yet, “the now” is always under consistent change and influence from that of the past and future in which events may repeat cyclically.</p><p>If my experience is to be taken as Truth, it implies there may be ways to test the influence of the dream state (swapna) on electronic equipment.</p><p>How? I am unsure exactly.</p><p>Perhaps someone who reads this may be able to devise an experimental setup in which I myself volunteer to partake in such a way that the test of “experiencing” a future unknown event can be known EXACTLY before it happens.</p><p>If I somehow interacted with the device recording the future event (in the now), and experienced that interaction now AND at a later ‘perceived’ time, it implies the idea of retrocausality to be closer to the true nature of reality, and further from science fiction as most may believe.</p><p>If you wish to describe your own experiences of precognitive dreams, please reach out. You may say something that you yourself overlook but could be the catalyst necessary to shift ones perspective in a way to see the world for how it truly is, and not for just how it appears. Most are blinded by reflections, few see that which is beyond the horizon.</p><p>There are no such things as coincidences. Everything happens for a reason. Everything in resonance, Everything connected.</p><img src="https://medium.com/_/stat?event=post.clientViewed&referrerSource=full_rss&postId=3c933c5ff502" width="1" height="1" alt="">]]></content:encoded>
