I was wondering if there is any
scientific evidence that dreams can be psychic? Can people dream future
events?
Plus, how come I can sometimes control my own
dreams?

many people can control their
dreams, partiularly in the stage just before waking up. While people do
dream of things that come true this is pure coincidence. You dream of many
things, most of which do not come true or are variants of things that have
already come true. Having one or two come true is not being
psychic.
There is no evidence that anyone, anywhere has any form of
psychic ability. Those that claim that they do, particularly if they are
charging money, are all charlatans. It would be great if people did have
paranormal abilities but there is no evidence, apart from anecdotal, that
they do.

Consciousness is one of the least
understood areas of human knowledge. I think science finds it difficult to
grapple with something that can't be quantified. Carl Jung and Freud made
a great contribution in this field.I think that eventually there will be
another Jung to come along and make some amazing discoveries.As far as
your question goes, physics is revealing ever more remarkable properties
of matter. Scientific investigation into the stuff consciousness is made
of may surprise many a hard nosed
rationalist.

There are those who attach
very specific meanings to various dream elements. Indeed, there are those
who make a living out of interpreting dreams on this basis.
Q. What
tests were applied to evaluate these links?

Bobonthejob,
The way I figure
Deja Vu works is that some sector of the brain is short-circuited, and
erroneously sends an "I've experienced this before" message when in fact,
it hasn't...

I have had a physic dreams, But I
only dreamed the one occurance which did happen 100% the next day!
Steve(primus) you may say want you want,but i know, I dreamt an event that
came true. The event was not a major one.Once again it was at school, you
can say kids running around at school always happens, etc... But this
dream was very specific with the number of people and location. I was even
standing where i had dreamt (same location for actual event and dream).
things that make you go hmmmmm?

Reading extracts from writings of
Jung and Freud haven't inspired much confidence in their psychoanalysis.
In their attempts to describe consciousness I feel a distinct inability to
control their own.

Jung coined the term
synchronicity, the linking of acausal similtaneous events in a meaningfull
way. I would suggest that dream premonitions have there root in this
phenomenon. Freud and Jung parted ways after irreconcilable differences.
Personally I liked Jungs approach far more than Freud. Anyone who cares to
investigate his writings fully would see just how scientific he was.

Astroboy,
The
psychodynamic/psychoanalytic paradigm of psychology is unscientific by
definition. It relies on case histories, and does not make any claim to be
scientific.
