One of the tricky things about receiving a report of such an amazing dreams is that words never capture the experience. Your description of the events surrounding changing my car settings, and my chat with my wife was like a mini-STE. My world stopped for a minute as I re-experienced what the NDErs always say -- we are in the dream.
Hi “dr” Paquette. I accident listened to parts of your interview with the grifter Richard Syrrett. So an ‘angel’ saved YOU from 9-11 and no one else? Just you? Cue balls and talking skulls with flaming swords? Please, I beg of you, keep telling these stories. They. Are. Hilarious.
Glad you find it entertaining. Not everyone will be equally impressed with the correlations. That said, they are there. Having a written and dated record sometimes years in advance of a dream’s realization is handy also. If not for that, I wouldn’t have given these dreams a second thought myself.
The quotation marks around the abbreviation “dr” you used are inappropriate, because I’ve had a PhD since 2018, for a thesis on the development of proficiency in computer graphics. It took about 7 years of hard work to earn the degree, so perhaps you can limit your disdain a little bit there. It doesn’t make you look more intelligent or superior.
For other readers, I left this remark up for your benefit, not mine. The ill-disguised Christopher Hitchins fan has very little to offer in his remark, beyond serving as an example. I find it useful to understand why people say what they do, particularly in situations like this.
Sometimes, there is disagreement due to misunderstanding or a different approach to data. Other times, it appears completely ideological. Meaning, no thought involved, purely reflexive. That is what I believe we see here.
Reflexive isn't always due to a lack of critical thinking skill. Sometimes the reflex takes over before we've had a chance to think through a comment. In this case, it's hard to say whether it reflects lack of thought, understanding, and ability, or if it is only a reflex that will be softened after a second look at the information is more thoughtfully considered.
It is a rude reaction, but I am familiar with this from ill-informed students. The issue isn't whether they are rude now, but will they be rude tomorrow. In my experience, most students are willing to be reasonable if given the chance. Some seem incapable of this, and they eventually drop out of school in part due to that very quality. It isn't conducive to learning and usually leads to poor grades.
