I'm a precog, and I've had a lot of forewarning about the coming future. Specifically the coming century.
In dreams, visions, and occasionally hallucinations, I can 'see' fragments of coming and present events to a degree. Apparently it happened to my grandfather, too. 
Despite my best efforts, I could never actually 'predict' the future or control them, except train myself to be receptive. At most, it's made me a dreamer of a person, just wading through life, almost passively at times, to which I was almost classified as mentally ill in grade school. 

The precog experiences are not absolute, and most authentic precogs I've networked with can mainly 'see' into their own lives, recent future, or just around their hometown. I'm a bit of an anomaly, but I have met a few others like this, specifically a girl in Romania. 
But in recent years, after some extensive training (which I can explain), I've had bouts heavy with dreams, and for the first time I've tried organizing them into a schema in a notebook (with the work of some other precogs), and tried analyzing them with the works of various mystics and philosophers (mainly Oswald Spengler, who I found to be the most accurate). 
I tried applying this to various sites and blogs in the past, but I couldn't tell the credible journals how I got my accurate predictions without getting canned (I predicted the rise of ISIS and Syrian Civil War in 2010, in a small news journal). Unfortunately I was a shitty analyst otherwise at the time. I've also written for some new age and conspiracy sites, but that fizzled out.
With a few big (and terrifying) exceptions, a lot of my dreams and visions were not particularly supernatural. The most interesting thing I've pieced together is what you could call World War 3.

I've read books by PKD too, anon
now quit your larp

Which books by PKD are you referring to?


>It wasn't until I read deeper into history, especially in Spengler's view in how he explains the concept of Caesarism, that I processed what I was seeing: a social decline from ideas to money to pure animal power struggles in conflict.
So WW 3 won't be a 'clash of civilisations'? This conforms with Gotthard Günther's 'Apocalypse of America' (Günther is also a Spenglerian) who thinks America isn't a European style faustian culture anymore, but it's the emergence of a new planetary primitivism. Also pragmatism. Ideas have no place there. You could also read Ernst Jünger. I suspect he also was (like you) a kind of a seer who wrote down things he saw in dreams.

>So WW 3 won't be a 'clash of civilisations'?
The coming American Civil War will be the last meaningful 'idea' war for western culture, and the ensuing struggles between the nations will be entirely economical, crude, practical, or based on personal ambition.
>isn't a European style faustian culture anymore, but it's the emergence of a new planetary primitivism
This is why the US is akin to a Rome, a Babylon, an Ottoman Empire, or a Qin. These states tend to win against the artistic, high cultural, and philosophically oriented states of their own culture. 

I don't really believe in ETs. I believe in 'aliens,' but they are not mundane, biological organisms or robots or anything like that, in principle. 
>He said it's marked by the american civil war and the russian invasion of ukraine
Those are fairly generic predictions. My point was how exactly they will play out, and that they precisely won't lead to some horrible apocalypse. Perhaps, rather, a deterioration of our civilization. 

A wikipedia article? I stand corrected. 
I've already said, I don't claim a monopoly on altered consciousness. But I do know many of my type who I've networked with (which I've called precog) don't exhibit the same phenomena after psychedelics. My understanding of its relation to the Shaman archetype is based on Professor Robert Sapolsky's musings on the subject. But I don't think Shamans are necessarily authentic precogs, and any such abilities are merely beyond my knowledge. 
My theory is precogs have abilities based on an in-born brain structures, to which they're sensitive to psychic phenomena, and their brain can subconsciously interpret these metaphysical potentialities, sometimes through very rough forms, others through dream-constructed processes.
Though, it's always been the case they've taken lab-derived psychedelics to fry their precog capacities. I don't really know anything about other kinds.

>others through dream-constructed processes.
Another factor, I believe, is that dreams which are forgotten in the hippocampus nonetheless effect subconscious beliefs and desires, which often manifests in deja-vu and daydreaming. These psychic effects, from past, present, and future, gives one totally intangible connections to scrambled events in time and space. Hence, somebody feels a deep sense of terror to a certain war, like the trenches in WW1. They receive a near-irascible temperament to a certain period in the past or present. A doomed soul lingers over them from another life.
All people probably experience this. In that they can have a sense (akin to sight or smell) in discerning psychic phenomena, is dependent on possessing certain features, which are so far not manifest in a peculiar organ.
