an interesting thing to meditate on: if you were trying to send messages to your current self from your future self, what non-linguistic method would you use?

interesting - i wonder if leitmotifs would be the only possible way to communicate with ourselves through the associative logic of dream consciousness. like, more direct communication wouldnt be possible because of the occlusive nature of consciousness communicating w. itself

I don't know, my dreams-that-are-more-towards-prophetic are super literal compared with the usual nonsense that goes on in there at night.

Like "say this to that person tomorrow and this thing will happen" and then it goes exactly like that levels of specific.

that's interesting! mine are never that direct, always require some sidelong interpretation. learning to speak that language has been helpful tho. seems I like slant rhymes.

Weird things about dreams and hypnagogia I can't explain:
- I pseudohear a murmur voices if I meditate a certain way before sleep. Sometimes they confide secrets.
- I have eerily prophetic dreams where people I know tell me things, share (stark) opinions and show visions.

i have similar experiences and have been re-reading eric wargo's time loops which does some work to explain how our own consciousness might be communicating with us across time using dream and premonition as the medium

it really revolutionized how I think about these things, and has helped me start to decode signal from noise and not diminish my intuition. is the author and his blog is really great too!
