Talk:Precognitive dreams

When I began this first ever page on Wikipedia, I decided to do it on line a little bit at a time. Probably a mistake and wish I had finished it off-line and then posted it for public view. After the third day when it was still a "work in progress", someone added a banner notice that it did not meet NPOV criteria. Since that time I have added lots of new material and edited the original items. So trust it now meets the NPOV guidelines. If not, would appreciate some constructive feedback on how to further improve it.

Thanks for you help,

ya, this seriously need revision. Right from the get go, it acts like precognitive dreams happen all the time, when in reality there is no proof that they even exist and aren't just luck. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.128.98.110 (talk) 01:23, 30 March 2008 (UTC)

Neutrality
Please give me a valid reason why the neutrality of this article is being disputed. Please cite specific wikipedia policies and please explain why you believe this article violates those particular policies. I have removed the tag pending the specific citations of voilation of wikipedia policy.

Also, this article should NOT be merged with http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Precognition. Pre-cognitive dreams are a subdivision in the psychological field of dream research which http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Precognition does not even address. JS747 (talk) 04:29, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

If not merged with precognition, perhaps it could be merged with déjà vu, as déjà vu has been linked to dreams in the past.--90.210.11.29 (talk) 20:02, 13 October 2008 (UTC)

please see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Verifiability, specifically "The burden of evidence lies with the editor who adds or restores material. All quotations and any material challenged or likely to be challenged should be attributed to a reliable, published source using an inline citation."

I see a lot of statements here presented as facts, these need citations. I am adding tags to this effect. JFArcher (talk) 09:16, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

Sewing machine invention example in Anecdotal
i don't see how this is an example of precognition, inspiration yes. The addition of the hole at the end of the needle was an event entirely under the control of the person who had the dream, and he carried out the act as a result of the dream. This is a distinctly different case than the others in this section. David Woodward (talk) 22:54, 3 December 2008 (UTC)

Clinical evidence
The first 4 paragraphs currently in this section do not mention precog dreams at all, they are not relevant to this article. David Woodward (talk) 23:03, 3 December 2008 (UTC)
