People you can consider me insane or sane but

[Mitchman]

I starting to wonder about something. Ok now its based on my experience this question so just bear with me:
Is there a god or are we not alone in the universe. Now im not going to go into religion cause that is a no-no in my book of yes's and no's in thread topics. i just want to see if you guys agree or disagree with me. Ok the reason im curious botu this? I just realized in a strange way that the events and time of event is not controlled by us but the how it will be done or even done is controlled by us. How did i come up with this absurd theory? Ill give you guys some examples:
1. I dreamt about the principal of our school bringing snakes to the school them breaking out of the cages and one girl was trapped by them. So i saved her. Monday 2 days after i dreamt this the principal told us about her idea for bringing snakes to school. I acually convinced her not to and that day never happened
2. I dreamt about this girl i never met. I asked her out and she said no. So i go to a new school and what happens? She is in my class. Remembering how i asked her out i acually changed the lines to see if they would work but unfortunately they didn't.
3. I dreamt bout hanging out with my friends on a nice sunny morning in shorts and all happy. So then about a month later i fall down the stairs damage my knee and the same day happened but i was in cruches.

Freaky or what?! So my real question is this:
Destiny and fate is real apparently or aliens have us as lab rats seeing what our brain is truly capable of and im one of em without my knowledge.

I've had this sort of thing happen to me many times in my life, where I will have a dream about an event only to have it actually happen at a later date. personally I'm not sure how it's possible, all i can say is I don't believe you're crazy. One of the instances that I can remember vividly was when I was a little kid, I distinctly remember being in the backseat of my parent's car when My dad accidentally drove it through the back wall of our garage, however according to my mother, I was comfortably sleeping in my bed at the time.

 

[Counterfeit]

All these things are probably coincidences, apart from the incident with asking out the girl, I don't believe you dreamt about her before you met her. >_>

And aliens using us as lab rats?
No, I can't say I share your beliefs on that... 0.o

Also, work on formating your posts better, that was painful to read. D:

 

[Mitchman]

Yay for gerri shin! So question did you somehow alter the event or no?
@josephine: Ok whatever dont believe but if there is something that ivdont do on the internet is lie. Thats like making the internet think you are someone when your really just someone else.

Sometimes dreams can predict the future. For example, I had a dream back when I was in fourth grade of my grandmother passing away. The next day it happened.

So it's not really all that freaky.
As far as people controlling us, though that's a theory on it's own, or you may have been playing too much Sims. But, regardless.

But, could you please edit that post using spell check? It was really difficult to read.

 

[Mitchman]

Yeah i will. Balancing the key board on one knee cause the other one is damaged is hard. And yes i was hanging with my friends yesterday.

 

[Nick]

Yeah i will. Balancing the key board on one knee cause the other one is damaged is hard. And yes i was hanging with my friends yesterday.

What does that have to do with anything?

 

[Mitchman]

Well for those who could say i was lying bout the whole knee thing.

 

[Nick]

What does it matter to them? If you're speaking about people online: That doesn't matter. No one knows what happens behind the screen so stating that you were with your friends is irrelevant to the conversation.

The alien thing is entirely possible. It's completely plausible that other worldly beings sent life to this planet and are watching our every move to see how life here has evolved. It might seem farfetched, but it's an established theory and is as possible as the next.

I do believe in fate and I don't. I believe fate so far as that there is somebody perfect for everybody on the earth, and you must find them and spend the rest of your life with them as one of life's goals. I don't believe, however, that our lives are pre-planned before they even happen, because as to quote Neo: "I don't like the idea that I'm not in control of my life."

 

[Mitchman]

Well yeah i dont like the idea of that also but i consider it possbile.

 

[I Laugh at your Misfortune!]

Do i like the idea that we aren't in control of our lives? No
Do I believe this theory? No
But do i believe tht it is possible? Yes

I always get this! I dream about something and then days, months or even years later I just suddenly recognize this event and feel like it had already happened before. It is kind of cool knowing that I already know what is going to happen. I dreamed about my first car crash a while back. Right into a mailbox.. not looking forward to that one..

 

[Yamikarasu]

Two words (I think, I don't speak French!): Déjà vu.

Or an alternate explanation would be this: You have a lot of dreams at night, the vast majority you don't remember. When something that happens in real life seems to match something that happens in a past dream your brain makes a connection, otherwise you just forget about that dream completely.

Ask yourself how many dreams have you had that had no bearing at all on the real world? Don't you think those numbers vastly outweigh the dreams that do seem to parallel a future event? Don't you think eventually you will have at least one dream that is similar to the real world?

Or you could choose to believe that aliens are controlling our minds through flu shots.

Anyway, that's my two cents.

Your in-a-nutshell theory (at the very bottom of your post), I half agree with. I do completely believe that you do not control what happens in your life, it's entirely decided beforehand, coming straight down from your ancestors and what genes you got from them. Your personality, your looks, your opinions, etc all decide where you end up in life. Destiny and fate are both inevitable because they've been brought upon you since birth without you even knowing. Whatever happens in life was supposed to happen, and it happened because of the past.

Let's say you're born an outgoing person who loves to be with friends and couldn't care less about studies. You don't let second thoughts get to you. Let's plan out your life a bit, being a bit stereotypical:
You couldn't care less about your studies. What do you choose? Party or working on your big history project due in a week? Obviously go party and get drunk. Usually these types do this in high school. So, you end up having all the fun in high school. Where do you end up because of your crappy grades? A dead-end job, with a dead-end life. You were happy in high school, but you're miserable grown up.

Now let's say you're the complete opposite. Quite introverted, shy and somewhat anti-social, but you love studying and good grades are what make your world go round. What happens?
Possibly a crappy high school life. You might be miserable because of how you barely have any friends, and the only time people talk to you is for study advice or help with work. But wow, your grades are outstanding. Where do you end up? Lawyer? Doctor? You choose, you can do anything you want! You lead a great and successful life. You've probably grown up to find yourself a nice partner and you're happy with your life. You've completely forgotten about your high school troubled times. You were miserable in high school, but happy once you've grown up.

Whatever happens, happens. It happens for a reason, and there is no way to change it, and there was no way to evade it. Even if at times life seems like it's kicked you straight in the balls for no reason, and you feel like absolute crap, there's a reason. There's a good reason.
Let's say you just got dumped by the love of your life. You thought it was forever. You didn't see it coming at all, it's such a shock. There's a reason. Maybe you'll never find out what it is, but let's say you call this person about ten years after graduation at high school. You find out they're in a mental institute because they completely went psycho after a few years. Doubt you would have wanted to deal with that if you guys were still together right? And the same goes for that person. They're in a mental institute for a reason and it was fate and inevitable.

That's why I just accept whatever happens in life. I don't try to think about it, I don't try to change it, I take it for what it is and work with it. You have to do it, whether you like it or not. Even if you're the type of person that wouldn't take it like me and who thinks the complete opposite of what I do, that's your personality's fault. And your personality is determined by your genes, which are handed down to you by your past. It's just the way life works.

As for what started all this destiny and fate? Well there can't be any other explanation than God. But I'm Agnostic so I don't exactly know what to think.

However, for the second part of your theory, I have no idea how you managed to involve aliens using us as test-subjects. I've never heard that one before. There's most likely life somewhere else in our indescribably enormous universe, but I highly doubt they're doing tests on us. That sounds like something that was pulled straight out of your ass to somehow prove that aliens exist. If you're one of them and clearly live on planet Earth, why wouldn't we know about it? Why wouldn't the governments know about it?

 

[the bitter end.]

Wow... that's creepy, but it's happened to me also! I don't have the time now to go into greter detail, I may edit this post later...

 

[♣Gawain♣]

All are coincidence, it's just the perfect(or almost) timing of things. Your experience is kinda freaky than mine.

 

[Mitchman]

Well it could be coincidence. but i belive not to think that. yes i know its called deja vu but i think what i experinced is a bit past deja vu as i acually changed the events a bit.

 

[Sexycheese]

I belive in god and everything so I dont think aliens are around but I have noticed I get this feeling if something is not quite right or if something bad will happen. Becasue of this I tend to be prepared so it doesnt really effect me

 

[ErickaVolt]

Coincidence, I guess? My dreams occur from past. More like playbacks. And I don't believe on Gods, I only believe on anything that has scientific explanation.
