Re: You have a dream...
[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ] The hypothetical situation is so extreme that it is pretty much impossible to answer. Assuming that the soccer team looks an sounds exactly like you remember it in your dream, it's just so unlikely that that would ever happen. Maybe even impossible from a practical point of view. So I think the hypothetical is so farfetched that if that situation did comme up then it would supersede all of my previously held beliefs about this kind of thing and I really would have no way if knowing what to do until the moment arrived. I'm trying to think of a good analogy but one isn't coming to me. [/ QUOTE ] wtf are you talking about? its not a hypotehtetical. i had a dream i was on a plane that went down. one of my memories from the dream is that i was surrounded by a girls soccer team and i was comforting one of the girls as it went down. i have a flight a week later, and i tell my friend about the dream as he is driving me to the airport. in the terminal waiting for the plane a girls soccer team, of about the same age from the dream, is waiting for the same flight. this forum is ridiculous. do you guys get off on making everything more complicated than need be? [/ QUOTE ] Did you fly? and did it crash? did you die? If you did then that would be spooky. chez

Re: You have a dream...
[ QUOTE ]
theres no "reverse construct" going on here. i told tolbiny all the details from the dream BEFORE i got to the terminal and saw the team. [/ QUOTE ] I'd be happier if you wrote them down and were really specific, but I guess this is better than nothing.

Re: You have a dream...
imagine if you didn't trust your feelings, I wonder how you would think about things. hmmmmmmmmmmm, if you can't trust yourself then I guess no thing or being or person has a chance.

That sir is called extreme thought process and is textbook in this forum. You don't see if cause your not balanced.

[/ QUOTE ] Jeez, sorry man. I was focusing on the part of the original post that was using "you" language, and I forgot about the first sentence about it happening to his roommate. Anyway, from my perspective it's still a hypothetical problem because I don't recall ever dreaming about something and then having it happen in real life the exact same way. However now that I have heard about this reverse construct thing, I would just take the flight anyway. I don't consider myself to have any special powers of seeing the future or anything like that. And, FWIW, I haven't heard about any passenger planes crashing recently, and they usually make headlines on the news, so I'm assuming that the plane didn't crash afterall.

We are giving an example of a time when we would not trust our feelings, and your argument is "If you cannot trust your feelings, what can you trust?" I was making fun of you for doing exactly what you are now criticizing. We do trust our feelings, much of the time. This is an extreme case, and only an idiot (probably) would trust his feelings in this case. Thats the whole point. So, you saying we should trust our feelings is either saying a) We should trust our feelings 100% of the time no matter what, because this is the absolute most extreme case of trusting our feelings and if we should do so in this case we should certainly do so in all other cases, or b) your comment was totally meaningless and not applicable to the current situtaion. Your choice.

Your not one of our best, you wouldn't represent us well sir. That's my opinion of you and I trust those impressions.

Re: You have a dream...
i hate being one of "these" people, but if you're going to be questioning people's intelligence you should know the difference between "your" and "you're." it's not that spelling is such a big deal, just that intelligent people tend to remember the difference after seeing the words used properly thousands of times.
by the way, frequently saying things like "you know you are of flawed mind when" is not endearing at all.

[/ QUOTE ] to late, ur 1 uv thos peeple. The best writers have proof readers, cause intelligence isn't knowing how to form a proper sentence, it's knowing how to create a meaningful one.
