		<description>Hi Brett. I wouldn&#039;t call that mental chatter; it sounds more focused.</description>

		<description>My point, here, is that maybe its more beneficial than harmful for some to listen to mental chatter all day. Maybe it will help them plan ahead, make the right moves, dodge certain situations and mishaps and give them a boost up over the rest of the crowd. 

Me, for example, I can handle the stress and maybe not all cases, but I do feel it helps me with situations in my life both good and bad. It helps me achieve the well-roundedness I&#039;m headed towards. And because it hasn&#039;t happened yet and it&#039;s all in my head, I do make mistakes and wrong speculations and assumptions but I feel that overtime and growing up, i&#039;ll be able to direct, handle, and guide it all as well as knowing what to expect from experience and wisdom if I keep at it. Practice makes perfect. The more I do it the better I get eh?</description>

		<description>&quot;All day long we play mind games. We carry out scenarios in our head trying to figure out the best course of action to take. But ultimately this mental chatter just makes us stressed. It doesn’t get us any closer to a solution. So drop it. Your dreams are just dreams and your thoughts are just thoughts. Worry about it when it happens.&quot;

How can you say that? Life is not that simple. Not in this world, not if you want to be on top. Its too competitive for that nature or you at least have to draw the line somewhere. Let&#039;s be one step ahead? And I mean from my perspective, I feel I&#039;m able to be one step ahead and I can think out things. And, I may make mistakes and I may find myself surprised but perfection is never achieved and always striven for. Considered a master after 10,000 hours of up-to-par practice. I could ramble on but...</description>

		<description>I wouldn&#039;t say &quot;idiot&quot; - I&#039;m sure you&#039;re quite intelligent. You maybe lack a bit of that inquisitive, skeptical spirit. It seems that way from your blog, at least.

It would be interesting to hear what events were predicted, exactly, if you&#039;re willing to share, but this is all post-hoc stuff here.</description>

		<description>I guess I fall into the category of &quot;idiot&quot; but I believe in precognition because I have seen it applied to my own life. My Buddhist teacher in India has several times said, &quot;In six months when X happens you need to do Y.&quot; And without fail, to the day, it happened. A very random event actually.</description>

		<description>&quot;I have no doubt in my mind that some people can actually predict future events based on their dreams&quot;

Oh brother. For years, James Randi offered a million bucks to anyone who could prove any sort of supernatural abilities. No one ever made good. While that doesn&#039;t necessarily negate the possibility, it&#039;s the sort of thing that should be approached with a healthy dose of skepticism. If someone can someday prove some sort of precognition, then I&#039;ll believe it.

I agree with your three points here, I&#039;m just not sure that they&#039;re lessons best learned from dreams. We can learn the same things while awake. In fact I think you&#039;d have to recognize those things while awake to make the connection to the dream analogy. But it&#039;s a nice analogy.</description>

		<description>Wonderful teaching post. The other night I had a dream of being out in a rough sea only to wake up in a nice comfy bed.  Through the open window I could hear the water lapping against the shore and the wind howling.  

And sometimes dreams are just illusions created through the mind without purpose. It is good practice to not dwell on these phenomena when they occur.</description>
