Yeah, I can see where your coming from. But I was thinking that you log the whole event after you experience the event that replicated a dream.

Skeptics reading this now jump in feet first and proclaim "So your only logging the positives and not logging the hundreds of dreams that are not precog!"

Well yes and no.

See, although you only record the whole event if you get a hit, there are 2 factors that give more strength to your hit.

1)You have to put down the duration between dream and replicated event. The longer the duration the less relevant it becomes.For me, real life events trigger the dream I had the previous night(95% of the time if its a precog dream i get a real life match the next day), that is why i find this interesting and this is why I want to make a log and let others make their own logs on the same page. However If ,for instance, John Smith comes along and starts populating his log over the course of a year and seems to have a long but constant dream/ event duration its worth something.

2) If you have a match between the themes in the dream and  theme(s) in the reality.

Luckily for me I have an example that happened last night. At one point during my dream a situation occured where I was in a UK terraced style street and had to walk up hill as the street was on a hill. Now I have never in my life dreamed of walking up hill in a street. I have not had a real life situation in the last 5 years(thats very very conservative) where a real event like that has occured. So im listening to the radio this morning in the car and one of the presenters explains that he had to get off the subway 1 stop early and had to walk up hill.

Now, ok this isnt the greatest hit in the world but when I listen to people on the radio mental images appear as I listen to them tell different stories(Im sure im not alone here). What pops into my head when he tells this little story? You got it, the terrace style road and walking up hilll. Bang! last nights dream finds a link. Now im not saying the guy walked up hill in a terrace street, I dont know if he did or not but my mental picture of the story matched with the dream i had before   I remembered the dream. Now skeptics can look at this story and feel like they have been give a shot gun in a coconut shy. However why should I dream about walking up hill in a street? , why should he mention this exactly the next day?,

Not life changing, but i would give it 1.5 out of 5 in the spooky rating.

And the event occured the next day after the dream.

Now if every one started making logs, wouldnt it be cool to see this post slowly become populated? 

Obviously someone could come one here with pure fiction and give themselves 60 dreams with 5 out of 5. I cant stop them but if the log gets big enough it should neglect any deviations like that (like any results based on stats).

Im not planning to issue this log to JREF but I wouldnt mind doing some stat crunching if the log becomes big enough.

Not necessarily.  I think many of these dreams are simply an "aha" moment thing.  A way to begin trusting yourself, that is. 
A learning experience. 

I mean seriously..what is the use of knowing we would be having vanilla milk in yellow cartons?  Its not a life-changing event for anyone else.  Well..except that people look at me funny now.
Some have suggested a vacation from work and others think its an "evil" thing.

But, for me it reaffirmed a trust in me..and what I do perceive.  A confirmation of information.

To know that something is precog..that perhaps comes later.  It would be important in the big things.

An example:
I had this nightmare the other night.  My daughter's BF was beating her, kicking her when she was on the ground.  I woke up thinking it was real, that it had/will  occur. 

The next time I spoke  with her, I mentioned it.  She then reiterated it to BF.  We all sorta laughed, but I wonder..did my bringing it up avert it in some way?  Now he's aware I know the probability is there?  Wouldn't that be an excellent purpose to a precog dream?

Also, had I not had the yellow milk cartons dream, would I even have considered the possibility that this was more than just a bit of undigested dinner? (to steal a thought from Scrooge)

I like this idea, Matt.  I'll try to participate as things happen.  I'm having a bit of trouble recalling dreams Monday thru Friday.  Alarm clock startles me awake and they fade fast.

Greetings PA,
Last night on the news clip of rescue efforts in the Phillipines , a woman with short deep red hair was there helping. Her hair was died punk red, not natural 'carrot-top' orangey. I think her dress was yellow or yellow-green. Was that the woman from your dream?

Hi PA,

OK, it's just that the use of the words 'soul destroying' is what threw me as there's no way to destroy a soul.   

Love, Mairlyn
