Course Description

Every culture on earth, except for ours, accepts that dreams sometimes foretell future events or experiences. This reality has been excluded from Western science and scholarship since the Enlightenment, but the barriers around this taboo topic are beginning to erode, thanks to new scientific developments (e.g. in quantum physics) and to an informal “citizen science” facilitated by the internet—people sharing their precognitive dream experiences. Precognitive dreams are real, and they are not occasional or rare. Many of not all dreams bring information from our future, and that is readily discoverable through a few simple steps. It has startling implications for our understanding of time, consciousness, and the self.

In different ways, the depth psychological schools of Freud and Jung have both paved the way to an understanding of dream precognition, yet both have also contributed to some of the confusion and misunderstanding that still prevails around the topic. This course will look at the evidence for precognitive dreams, historical attempts to study them scientifically, and newer scientific approaches and theories that can shed light on how they work, as well as the implications of precognition for understanding the self biographically—the “long self.”

This course is ideal if

• You are interested in the nature of time, causality, and synchronicity
• You have had dreams that came true and seek insight
• You have had premonitions of disasters or a loved one’s death, and feel guilt or confusion
• You are already experienced with Freudian or Jungian dreamwork, interested in a challenging new interpretation of these schools of thought

Course Overview

Week 1.  Precognitive Dreams—cases, evidence, history of the topic; basic instruction in precognitive dreamwork and homework assignment for the course

Week 2.  Precognition in the Clinic—closely reexamining some key case studies of Freud and Jung; revisiting synchronicity in light of 21^st-century physics and neuroscience; why precognition is so commonly misrecognized (e.g., as telepathy); precognition’s relationship to memory; causal circularity and fate; how does cosmology help us understand symbolic transformations in dreams?

Week 3.  Understanding Premonitions—clearing the confusions that surround dreams of disaster and death; the existential roots of precognition; what are the potential mental health implications of precognition and premonitions?

Week 4.  From the Instant Self to the Long Self—precognition games for advanced players (in lucid dreaming, meditation, etc.); how does it change our understanding of the self to directly experience its duration in time, via precognitive dreamwork and waking precognitive experiences? Time loops as koans

By the End of This Course You Will Be Able To

• Identify precognitive dreams
• Understand that dream precognition is common, even nightly—moving beyond the idea that precognitive dreams are rare or special or only happen to exceptional persons
• Begin to understand symbolic transformations in dreams as a function of time loops
• Understand how experiencing precognition awakens you to your biography, both past and future—i.e., your long self
