If you’ve never heard about the phenomenon that surrounds precognitive dreams, look no further. Precognitive dreams are dreams in which they appear to predict the future, as though the person dreaming has a sixth sense and is experiencing what many call a “premonition” — which is the feeling that something is about to happen. Most think this only happens when an unpleasant event is going to occur, or that this can only happen to those with a “gift” such as psychics. But what if it is so much more than that? That is what Paul Kiritsis is wanting to explore in his most recent book, A Critical Investigation Into Precognitive Dreams.

This is an incredible exploration into the world of precognitive dreams and the extensive history behind them. Written by scholar and doctoral graduate in clinical psychology Paul Kiritsis, this book delves into the complicated and astounding nature of precognition and precognitive dreams, in particular, and how psychology goes hand in hand with this occurrence. The tellings of precognitive dreams of history, personal experiences from Kiritsis himself, and the detailed scientific experiments that further explore whether this is an extraordinary gift bestowed upon some or whether this is a physical ability, not only given to psychics and clairvoyants but the entire population if only it is tapped into is beyond just an educative read. Each page will leave you with questions which you’re eager to explore the answers to, as you continue on this journey of precognition.

Precognition is described in this book as “the aptitude of becoming aware of phenomena that are coming-to-be or effects before their cause is set in motion.” The detailed scientific facts surrounding precognitive dreams as well as the historical references to the phenomenon that predates medicine and Newtonian science is intriguing and makes you reconsider everything you thought you knew about this subject. Reading about President Abraham Lincoln’s own experience with precognitive dreams that foretold his own assassination was equal parts fascinating and chilling in itself.

I have always had a love for psychology, myself, and found both the science and unexplainable aspects of precognitive dreams to be absolutely intriguing. I kept wanting to learn more about the subject and A Critical Investigation Into Precognitive Dreams does a fantastic job of covering this psychological phenomenon. It is the perfect follow-up to his 2014 book, Dreamscapes Without My TimeKeeper: A Critical Investigation Into Precognitive Dreams as it further delves into this subject that is not understood enough — yet.
