Is it possible to make people have dreams through stressful times in their lives?
I think this is possible, and happens often...
For a highly spiritual person this may give a person a false sense that it was God who gave them the dreams and future purpose in life. It may have just been people having fun.
Originally posted by Orange PeelI don't think you can make someone dream about something just because you want them to. People tend to dream about what is on their minds. If a stressful event is unfolding in your life then you will tend to dream about related topics because you are thinking about them a lot when you are awake. Similarly, if you think about a person a lot you will tend to dream about them. I would not be surprised at all if Bush had dreams involving the twin towers, as I think they weighed considerably on his mind. However, I don't think dreams can be caused by "people having fun" with you, unless they really upset you and you dwell on it.

Many things would have been floating around in the air, filled with half-truths and lies. If he was able to dream about things that were too complicated for his mind to add up, then his dreams may have given him a general shape of which some may have been TRUE. It wouldn't be that hard for someone who believes in God to account it to God, and to act in the manner of following one's dreams as it were.
I don't know if he did or not, but I have had dreams like that when exposed to a lot around me. Maybe telepathy full of half-truths and lies, yet you could still gain much better advice from people next door to you.
I remember a period where I was unemployed, yet somehow it wasn't hitting me in my emotional gut. I felt guilty but in kind of a distant way, not in that visceral way I felt I needed to feel.
So I hypnotized myself into having nightmares. I felt this would be healthy and motivate me to look harder for a job.
I had the most horrific, terrifying nightmares. I wanted to kill myself when I woke up just so I wouldn't be scared any more.
I unhypnotized myself out of those nightmares fast!
It was pretty cool that I could do that to myself though.

I read a book about Lucid dreaming, which said you could teach yourself to not only remember your dreams, but conciously control them.We dream every night, it is just that we only remember the ones that effect us so strong, and even with nightmares, or wet dreams we seldom remember the details.
As for making yourself or others dream, like i said, we dream every night, it is just that we seldom remember them.
Originally posted by huckleberryhoundDreams are fascinating, aren't they? I have had dreams that I could control before. I have also had a dream whereby my alarmclock goes off and I get up and get dressed. I then proceed to wake up 15 minutes later wondering why I am still in bed. It is very annoying. Dreams seem to be one of those things that science hasn't quite figured out yet. We know that people need to dream every night, but things like control of dreams still elude scientific explanation.

Originally posted by whiteroseHehe. I have had some dreams which gave me a reason not to get up and just switch off the alarm clock. I seem to have inherited this "talent" from my grandfather, who often came up with intricate dream-explanations why he didn't have to get up.

I have also had nightmares in which I realized I was just dreaming and decided to wake up, but when I woke up, something from the dream was still there because I had only dreamed I had woken up. Scary!
Originally posted by PeachyIt doesn't mean anything is my point. All it is is confusion your conscious mind cannot add up, where your unconscious is able to pick up specifics and portray them to you. One could surley confuse them to be from God, when there is a scientific explaination.

Repetitive thoughts being pushed into you. Yep, it can be done through music.
I'd never foolishly believe something like that was GOd, but I wonder if Bush did?
