Chris Robinson

alfa beta

Anyone hear an interview on Radio 1 with this Chris Robinson guy earlier today?

It was interesting. Basically he sorta dreams stuff that then happens - quite regularly!

Now I'm as sceptical as most around here (if not a little moreso) and have pretty much no time for people who claim psychic powers and all that - a right load of hogwash would be my opinion.

But this guy was very interesting. He'd dream stuff and then within days/weeks or sometimes longer the dream would be reflected to some degree of accuracy in the real world - and the level of detail/accuracy in the dreams/ensuing events seemed astonishing.

So, curious as you can imagine...I just dug out his website (which is truly awful!!) and started reading his book 'dream detective' which is posted there.

Here's the link directly to the start of the book

http://www.dream-detective.com/id11.html

I haven't read enough yet to be convinced one way or the other as to whether this guy can actually see into the future in some shape or form, but it's a very interesting account - and even though really badly written, its certainly an engaging read - I'm heading back to read more before I hit the sack - but I just thought I'd post this so you guys can have a look too.

Btw, he ended his interview today saying he had a dream a few nights ago that prince Philip died - so it'll be interesting to see if the old guy snuffs it in the next few days/weeks (beyond that and I'd just say coincidence - it's not as if he's hopping around the place full of youthful vivacity now is it!)

Well done.

Chuck Stone

Stop it.

fair enough - but scroll down to Chapter Three and start there - that's what I did to get past the intro crap

just read a few paragraphs and see what ya think

There is a lot of truth to things like that.

I think you are drastically underestimating how sceptical everyone else here is.

It was the stuff of legend, the foreword, introduction and first 6 chapters. Biggest post ever, epic!

I'm very skeptical of OP's level of skepticism.

AnonoBoy

Once I dreamed that I had to get up and go to work and that it was going to be a miserable f*cking day and for the whole length of it I would wish I was back in my bed.

It TOTALLY came true.

Woooooohhhhhh!!!!


Please send 5 euro to hear more about my amazing ability.

Trying to pimp yourself on here, eh Chris Robinson?

The jig is up.

TBH I'm still very skeptical and can totally understand your skepticism of my skepticism!

Its really to do with the awareness, Now don't tell us you never thought about a certain person only then to end up bumping into them. Most of us don't remember our dreams this guy just does, I'v never heard of him before either.

That has happened me, yes. It is what is known as a coincidence.

fraid I wouldn't buy that argument in this case charlemont - the 'bumping into people' thing I would put down to coincidence

Also, when you read about some of the info this guy is getting in his dreams - postcodes, names, numbers, (ie: enough to make the police suspect he was involved in the stuff he was telling them) it really is rather curious - certainly nothing like the vague and apparently meaningless dreams I have

Is this all based on what you are reading in a book and hearing on the radio? You aren't very sceptical at all, really, are you? Quite the opposite in fact.

That's fair enough and each to their own.

For me the idea that someone can get glimpses of the future doesn't stand to reason.

Also, I don't believe the future exists, reject determinism, and hate the idea of destiny.

Here's the kicker though. If he can dream the future he'd be a very very wealthy man by dreaming about the outcomes of sporting events.

I think certain people can have premonitions from time to time.

Didn't Abraham Lincoln dream and later write about his death a few weeks before he was assassinated?

eh - Not sure where you're coming from there - I was just replying to Charlemont's point where he said 'we don't all remember our dreams this guy just does'

Charlemonts inference was that we might all be able to tap into our dreams in some way (I think)

I don't buy that - I for one think my dreams are of little use outside of whatever it is they do for my brain during the night.

What this Robinson chap describes seems very different to the type of dream I have and am familiar with - and so I think it merits exploration

essentially if he's claiming he can tell the future in some way, then he needs to be able to substantiate this in a way that you and I could take as 'proof' - not in some wishy-washy 'we could all do it if we were more aware' sort of way.

the thing is his account is interesting in this regard as - from my quick glance at it - there appears to some sort of element of substantiation that makes someone like me (yes, skeptical) sit up and take notice.

Have a read if you get a chance - I scrolled down to chapter three and started from there (as that it seems was the point where he began formally keeping records.)

was wondering about that too.....or perhaps certain numbers on a saturday night!

I keep clicking into this thread by mistake because I think it's about this guy :mad:

Well he was president of the United States.
Many of their president's do get assassinated so it was hardly a shock that he considered it.

Lincoln was the first to be killed in office. Be even more of a shock if he was factoring in the assassinations of those who came after him. Although there was a supposed attempt on his life earlier on in his presidency.

I'm starting a rumour that Chris Robinson is related to Nostradamus.

Who's with me ?

l remember nearly all my dreams. and the majority are lucid. if i was drinking I dont

even that I expect most people to think im talking bollocks.

There was a thread here in after hours a few years ago and some lad had a crazy dream that really freaked him out because it was so vivid. He seemed genuinely terrified, like it had actually happened and everyone was telling him to chill it was just a dream. he relayed in detail what happened in the dream, in it he had woken up, saw the time on the clock, got up and ate breakfast, had to get to work..think he was running late and was rushed or something and on the way saw an accident happen where a woman was hit by a bus and he was concerned because he thought she was dead.

all these events went on to happen that day or the next, from the time on the clock to what he ate for breakfast and the woman getting hit by a bus. (who died) the accident was reported on the news and everything.


anyway. If Prince Philip passes away I doubt anyone will consider his dream as relevant. just coincidental.

The above was from his (Chris Robinsons) radio interview on the 20th December - and I've just seen on the news that Prince Philip has been taken to hospital with chest pains tonight.

Couriouser and curiouser....

You know he's 90 years old, yeah?

alfa beta

course i do

and I'm also aware that 'suffering from chest pains' isn't exactly the same as snuffing it

I'm simply adding a bit of topical info to a thread I started on a subject and a person I found interesting when I heard him interviewed last week.

people here can take it as coincidence or read into it what they like.

my reaction when i heard the prince philip story on the news earlier was - 'now isn't that curious'

Dilla!

I kinda think these things can happen, but can't explain logically obviously. Loads of people have experiences like these that they just put down to being purely coincidental.
