76 00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:43,800 I mean, we've all heard those stories 77 00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:45,960 about people having dreams that later come true. 78 00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:47,640 Yeah, precognitive dreams are definitely 79 00:02:47,640 --> 00:02:49,920 a captivating aspect of this whole thing. 80 00:02:49,920 --> 00:02:53,840 One theory proposed by author and researcher Eric Wargo 81 00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:56,080 suggests that dreams might actually be messages 82 00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:57,840 from our future selves. 83 00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:00,280 The challenge, of course, is recognizing these dreams 84 00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:03,400 as precognitive before the event has occurred. 85 00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:05,400 Right, because like in hindsight, 86 00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:07,000 it's easy to connect the docs and say, 87 00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:08,600 oh, I dreamt about that. 88 00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:11,760 But how can we distinguish a precognitive dream 89 00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:14,120 from a regular dream in real time? 90 00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:16,800 That's a question that J.W. Dunn, a British engineer, 91 00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:19,880 he tried to answer this back in the early 20th century. 92 00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:23,160 He documented his dreams really meticulously 93 00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:26,200 over a long period and compared them to events 94 00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:28,120 that happened in his waking life. 95 00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:30,560 And what he discovered was that many of his dreams 96 00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:33,080 contained accurate details about future events, 97 00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:35,240 some mundane, some significant. 98 00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:37,960 So he was basically keeping a dream journal 99 00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:41,040 and looking for patterns and connections to his daily life. 100 00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:42,800 What kind of details did he dream about? 101 00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:45,440 Everything, really, from specific conversations 102 00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:48,720 he would have to news stories he would read, 103 00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:51,160 even seemingly trivial things like receiving 104 00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:52,560 a particular letter. 105 00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:54,920 What's fascinating about Dunn's work is that it suggests 106 00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:58,280 that we all might have precognitive dreams, 107 00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:02,720 but we just dismiss them as like random imaginings. 108 00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:05,720 He believed that within our minds, time might not be linear 109 00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:07,920 and we might be constantly processing information 110 00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:09,960 from both the past and the future. 111 00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:11,520 That's an interesting idea. 112 00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:13,320 It makes you wonder if those fleeting thoughts 113 00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:16,200 and feelings we dismiss as just random noise 114 00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:18,640 might actually be glimpses into the future. 115 00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:20,320 And it's not just in dreams, right? 116 00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:22,520 Some researchers think precognition can happen 117 00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:23,600 while we're awake too. 118 00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:25,840 Like, have you ever had that feeling of knowing 119 00:04:25,840 --> 00:04:27,800 who's calling before you even look at your phone?

133 00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:02,520 What if our thoughts aren't just confined 134 00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:05,960 to the present moment, but can like ripple through time, 135 00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:08,520 influencing events that haven't even happened yet? 136 00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:10,120 There's a lot to think about for sure. 137 00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:14,440 And it makes you wonder like about free will. 138 00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:16,920 If the future can influence our thoughts and actions 139 00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:20,800 in the present, do we really have control over our choices? 140 00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:23,160 Or are we just playing out a script that's already written? 141 00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:24,400 That's a big question, right? 142 00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:25,800 And it's one that's puzzled, you know, 143 00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:28,280 philosophers and scientists for ages. 144 00:05:28,280 --> 00:05:31,200 There's this study by neuroscientist Benjamin LeBitt 145 00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:34,320 that really throws a wrench into the whole free will debate. 146 00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:36,640 His experiments, they show that there's actually 147 00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:39,240 measurable brain activity initiating an action 148 00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:41,000 before we're even consciously aware 149 00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:42,840 of making the decision to act. 150 00:05:42,840 --> 00:05:44,840 So our brains are already making the move 151 00:05:44,840 --> 00:05:47,840 before we even consciously decide to do it. 152 00:05:47,840 --> 00:05:49,640 That's kind of hard to grasp. 153 00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:52,880 What does that mean for our sense of agency, 154 00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:55,600 like our belief that we're in control of our lives?
