Argument # 22:  The Skeptical explanation for precognitive dreams.

 

Stated as:  “The only reason that precognitive dreams come true is that you selectively remember when your dream comes true but not when they don’t, thus attribute it to psychic precognition.”

 

We don’t know that much about where dreams come from and what they mean to assume that they’re nothing but random thoughts and images.  We understand how people dream, but not why.  Skeptics again are inadvertently claiming to know too much to declare something false or coincidental.  In addition, the fact that there is convincing evidence for psychic phenomena in general such as telepathy from the numerous labs that did the ganzfeld experiments, psychokinesis from Princeton’s 20 year PEAR programs, and remote viewing/clairvoyance from SRI and other research labs, makes precognition much more probable than otherwise.  You see, when one form of psi is proven, it raises the plausibility of the others by indicating that there are indeed paranormal powers of consciousness that we don’t understand.
