📚 WHAT THE BOOK IS ABOUT

Dive into the groundbreaking concept of precognitive dreamwork, a systematic approach to interpreting messages from your future self. Eric Wargo masterfully guides readers through identifying the tell-tale signs of dreams that foretell future events, explaining why these visions often appear symbolic or distorted. Beyond mere interpretation, this work introduces the radical idea of the 'Long Self,' revealing how our future intentions subtly shape our present reality, and conversely, how our current thoughts may have already influenced our past. It's a compelling invitation to become a "citizen scientist" in the fascinating realm of temporal consciousness.

Praise for this book

“This book will change how you see the world. Eric Wargo's theories on dreams, time travel, and the inner workings of the mind are truly daring--and grounded in logical thought and methodical research. His reanalysis of Freud is worth the price of admission alone. is is as mind-bending as it gets.”
— Yancey Strickler, author of is Could Be Our Future
🏛 Inner Traditions International 📅 2021 📖 320 pages 📔 Paperback ISBN: 9781644112694
Fun Fact
Wargo's "Precognitive Dreamwork" stands out as a unique and compelling contribution to the field of esoteric studies. It offers not just a theoretical framework for precognition but also a practical, structured guide for dreamers to actively engage with their own psychic abilities. While it might disappoint those seeking purely empirical, scientific validation, it will deeply resonate with readers open to exploring the profound, non-linear aspects of consciousness. A must-read for anyone serious about unlocking the deeper mysteries of the self and the cosmos.

📝 Description: Precognitive Dreamwork and the Long Self: Interpreting Messages from Your Future

A guide to dream precognition and its implications - As seen in "Don't Dream About Me" Documentary - Outlines a set of clear principles to help guide dreamworkers, illustrated through real precognitive dream experiences - Shows how to detect precognitive dreams through their characteristic features, explaining how dreams relate to memory and why dreams about future experiences are often symbolic or distorted - Explores the mind-blowing implications of precognition for our lives, including how our present thoughts actually shape--or shaped--our past Once only the stuff of science fiction, evidence has grown that precognition--glimpses of your future in dreams and visions and being influenced subtly in waking life by what is to come--is real. Your future thoughts and feelings shape who you are now. And your present thoughts and feelings shape--or shaped--your past. In this accessible exploration of precognition, precognitive dreamwork, and a radically new biographical sensibility, the Long Self, that precognition awakens us to, Eric Wargo shows how dreamworkers can play the role of citizen scientists, adding to our understanding of this fascinating, almost unexplored dimension of human life. Wargo outlines a set of clear principles to guide dreamworkers, each illustrated through real dreamers' experiences. Drawing on psychoanalysis and contemporary sleep science, he explores how precognition relates to memory, explaining why dreams of future experiences are often distorted and what those distortions probably mean. He discusses never-before-described dream features, including "time gimmicks" (symbols hinting at time distortion) and "calendrical resonance" (the tendency of dreams to foretell experiences exactly a year or years later). He describes why an understanding of precognition augments Jung's theory of synchronicity by highlighting our own role in producing meaningful coincidences in our waking lives. He also shows how precognition manifests in other states of consciousness like lucid dreams, out-of-body experiences, trance states, sleep paralysis, meditation, and hypnagogia. We are at a major turning point in science's understanding of time, causality, and the self. We are more than who we think we are from moment to moment--we are our past, present, and future simultaneously. When we understand this, a dream journal becomes a personal time machine, with mind-blowing discoveries in store for the traveler.

Esoterica Books editorial team
Occult literature desk
Eric Wargo presents a compelling framework for understanding the 'Long Self' and its temporal echoes. The systematic method for identifying precognitive signs is refreshing and logically structured. However, readers requiring strict empirical scientific proof may find the premise too abstract or metaphysical. Those uncomfortable with non-linear time concepts might struggle with the idea that past and future are mutually influential. It is best suited for open-minded occultists and dream workers willing to suspend conventional temporal logic. While the 'citizen scientist' analogy adds a layer of intellectual rigor, the core content remains deeply esoteric. It does not suit skeptics or those seeking straightforward psychological analysis without spiritual undertones.

🎯 Key themes and symbolism

Decoding Future Dreams

This book provides a structured methodology for discerning dreams that offer glimpses into the future. It meticulously details the characteristic features of precognitive dreams, offering insights into their often symbolic nature and how they relate to memory. Readers learn to differentiate predictive visions from ordinary dream narratives, paving the way for profound personal revelations.

The Long Self Unveiled

Wargo introduces a revolutionary 'biographical sensibility' called the Long Self, which challenges linear perceptions of time and identity. This concept suggests that our future thoughts and feelings actively shape who we are in the present, and similarly, our present consciousness subtly influences our past. It's a mind-bending exploration of selfhood across temporal dimensions.

Empowering Dreamwork Practice

Far from being a passive read, this book empowers individuals to engage actively in their own dream research. It frames dreamers as 'citizen scientists,' encouraging them to systematically record, analyze, and contribute their precognitive experiences to a larger understanding of this unexplored dimension of human consciousness. Practical guidance fosters a hands-on approach to discovery.

📜 Historical context

Building upon a lineage of dream interpretation that extends from ancient oracles to Jungian psychology, Wargo's work propels the field into new territory. It stands alongside psychic research that explores extrasensory perception, yet distinguishes itself by offering a practical framework for engaging with precognition, moving it from theoretical curiosity to personal experience.
