Please refrain from posting this kind of comment as this is not kopitiam thread.

As for my view on dreams, I think this has already been discussed in serious talk thread before.

No, I do not believe in dreams. It is a manifestation of one's own memory.

According to some research, when you sleep, your brain will work to sort out short term memories into long term memories. Then it is discarded from your short term memory part. It is during this sorting that sometimes you dream. That is why when you wake up you will forget about the dream because it is short term memory. Sometimes you will remember but most of the time you won't.

You also only dream about things that you know. Therefore, it cannot be some sort of premonition because you will never dream about things that you do not know. For example, you never knew there are such things as three-legged toad. Therefore, you will never dream about three-legged toad.

Plus, whenever you dream..sometimes when you wake up the dream will still be fresh in your memory. Try to remember previous experience that causes the dream. Chances are you can always relate things like a movie that you have watch before or some event that happened before that has manifested into your dream.

yes it is mysterious but that doesn't mean you can dream about future. And that have nothing to do with dreams as well which is the topic of this thread.

However, we can also dream about things that we don't know, which would be a mixture of abstract stuff and elements that we already know.

This like I said, it is manifestation of what we already know. Even some deep down thought that we have forgotten. Actually those thoughts are still in our brain buried very deep. And yes, the brain works in a mysterious way such that these thoughts are interpolated into something really abstract. Yet it still falls back to the basic rules of only things stored in your brain are created into dreams.

As for random dreams, I don't think so. You might think it is random but it actually is based on experience from yesterday or past few days or even some subconscious childhood event. Seriously, if you want to know. Try to really analyze those dreams that you remember when you wake up. Try to relate the dream back to what happened few days back. There is very high possibility of it related to those events. I have analyzed my own dreams and found this to be very true. But I rarely dream nowadays. Most of the time when I dream it could be due to some movie that had provoked my thought greatly.

Ok. Any explanation for this story?

technically this is not a dream because the boy is unconscious. Well, can say it is different kind of dream and not sleeping kind of dream.

Anyway, I don't know how to explain this but it sure looks like some sort of miracle. Especially when he recovers after being dead for few hours.

Also, can't deny the fact that this 3 year old boy is so mature. He talks about heaven's gate and going back to parents clearly shows he already know the concept of death and heaven. That is why it is possible for him to DREAM of such thing. Remember, I said before you won't dream of things you don't know. He knows who is his grandma, he knows about heaven, he know when people die, they go to heaven.

It still is debatable. Like, what if heaven doesn't exist? What if grandma didn't go to heaven but went to hell instead? All the are assumptions based on the boy's memory and his POV.

you see, it is stories like this that is misleading to some people.

I have no reason not to believe you but I have my reason to believe you might have been misled of not knowing the whole truth about how your uncle become millionaire.

He struck lottery three times exactly on his deceased mother's death anniversary? If there are deviation from the dates, how much?

You uncle told you...but did he really dream and then buy once or dream about the numbers then keep on buying for few months or years until he struck it.

You see, based on statistic it is hard for someone to strike "empat ekor" that many times yet it is possible. Like how something happened one in a billion. It does happen.

It is not HARD to admit we do not know about our dreams or brain activities. That doesn't means we have to EASILY accept something like this just because we cannot comprehend something yet.

Just like how people used to think the earth is flat because it is EASY to understand and accepted.
