The Secret Door . . . A Precognitive Dream

In late November of 2022, I recorded a very short dream about a secret door.  It later became apparent that the dream had precognitive qualities.  Here are my original dream notes:
​
November 29, 2022 (Tuesday)
Dream 1 (6:30 AM).  A room has a secret door on the floor.  Later, however, this area is shown again and there is no longer a door on the floor. But then it appears again.

That was it.  A very short dream.  ​A few days later, I received a call from a woman who, with her siblings, had inherited an old commercial building located less than a mile from my real estate shop.   When she called, she and her sister were at the building.  I offered to meet them at the building right away.  No time better than the present in the real estate business.  It was a very interesting old building that had once been owned by a telephone company and had subsequently been converted into a large workshop.

The sisters informed me a couple of days later that they had decided to list the building with a different real estate company.  When the property hit the market, a friend of mine (and a potential buyer) requested a tour of the building.  Thus, within a short period of time, I got the chance to tour the building again.

In the midst of this second tour, I turned around and saw that my friend had pulled up a hatch on the floor.  A secret door!  As soon as I saw the open hatch, I immediately thought of my secret door dream.  See photos below of the floor hatch in both its closed and open positions.  When closed, there is a camouflage effect because the top of the hatch has floor tiles that match the surrounding floor.  Once you know it is there, the floor hatch is very easy to spot.  But, during my first tour of the building, I was in the building for about 30 minutes with one of my colleagues and neither one of us noticed it.​

I would like to highlight a few notable elements of this precognitive dream experience:

• In the dream, there is an experience where the secret door is sometimes there and sometimes not there.  In my waking reality experience, there was a similar pattern.  During one visit, it was "not there", in the sense that I never noticed it.  During the second visit, it was presented to me in a very obvious way.
• I think it is amazing that the dream was specific about the secret door being located in the  floor.  Waking life secret doors are most commonly in a wall.  They could also theoretically be in a ceiling.  Thus, the dream experience and the waking experience matched up very exactly in this respect.​​

Was this a meaningful experience for me?  Yes, it was meaningful for me in two ways.

• First, I think all my precognitive dream experiences are intended to cause me to question the nature of waking reality.  The experience reminded me that time is a relative, rather than an absolute, concept.  Dreams come from the inner self.  From the perspective of the inner self, time is an illusion.  Thus, my inner self could see the likelihood of my encounter with the secret door before I experienced the event in waking reality. 
• I also think that the idea of a camouflaged secret door is very interesting as a metaphor for spiritual exploration.  In the Seth books (by Jane Roberts), waking reality is specifically  described as a form of camouflage.  Although it appears strictly physical, these teachings suggest that there is much more to physical reality than meets our physical eyes.  There are deeper levels of reality that cannot be perceived if we rely strictly on our outer senses, including our outer physical sight. In this sense, the secret door represents gaining deeper experience by relying more upon the inner senses.  To the inner self, physical reality is understood as a psychological environmental that features meaningful symbols.  This experience thus served to remind me that my spiritual path is one that requires a high level of attentiveness and use of my inner senses.

A precognitive dream is a unique form of synchronicity because the two related events happen in different states of consciousness.  The experience of a precognitive dream often makes me feel like I'm interacting with a playful/trickster aspect of my consciousness. For more examples of precognitive dreams (and coincidences), see the The Inner Self at Play section of my website (link below).
