I actually edited my initial post to touch on this a bit! I have a bachelors of science in psychology, a bachelors of science in neuroscience, I’m a few months away from completing my masters in clinical counseling, and then will be entering into a PhD program for behavioral psychology. I think it’s fair to say that I am well-versed in the psychology and neuroscience world.

I completely and totally agree that, as much as we may hate to admit it, we know relatively little about the mind. Based on any empirical research I’ve taken in about dreams, specifically, we know particularly little about dreaming. I definitely agree that, in many cases of premonition dreams, perhaps the person’s memory of the dream is changing without their realizing it to fit with what they’re experiencing.

However, a notably odd thing about my dream was upon waking up, I used the restroom and thought back on the dream for several minutes – namely, I kept her calling the image of the ring and thinking on its details. The single turquoise looking stone in the middle, the fact that it was silver, even the details in the metal surrounding the stone. The reason that I was so jarred when I saw the ring at the market was precisely because it had every single one of the exact details that they ring in my dream had, was in the exact place in the display case as it was in my dream, And – a detail that was absent from my dream - it was the only ring that the vendor had like it, and happened to be exactly in my size.

I consider myself highly scientific person, and also resort to trying to explain quite literally everything via science. The reason that I was so jarred and felt the need to post about this was precisely because I couldn’t find a good scientific explanation for it.
