Okay, this one has me confused. I'm new to tarot, I think I got my first deck a month or slightly less ago. Anyways, for about two weeks now, I have been doing Celtic Cross readings of myself right before I go to bed. Ever since I started the Celtic Cross readings, I have had alot more remembered dreams. In the past two weeks I have remembered more dreams than all of 2003. Also, I used to have dreams which had no chance of being real, but now those dreams are gone. All of the dreams I have had are possible. It also takes me a good chunk of time after waking up to realize the dream was only a dream. What I'm thinking, is that these dreams are possible futures, and the tarot cards are somehow opening up the 'lens'. I know a more scientific explanation would probably be that doing the tarot cards right before bed stimulates the creative side of the mind, but that just doesn't seem right because then I should still be having impossible dreams (dolphins taking over the world....). Well, since I no longer have impossible dreams, I think that ruins the scientific explanation, but I don't know. I bet its wishful thinking but... Am I seeing possible futures? Please help me Thank you all dearly

tarot has been stimulating the area of your subconcious that is controlling your dreams. they may be possible futures. the way in which using tarot affects your subconcious, has different results for different people. there is a myriad of different experiences people here have related to after they began using tarot. you will probably not experience any of your prophecies. grrr i hate this computer sometimes! any way, with time, and attention, you will find the answer. so be patient, friend.

Having opened your mind to the message of the cards, it is probably playing out what a possible outcome of the advice in the cards could be. I wouldn't go as far as seeing a definite future, but it most assuredly is your subconcious at work with the influence from the cards, getting what you've read into what you already know and incorporating it in your mind. If you start doing the readings in the morning you are just as sure to find the messages in the card to affect your waking hours as you are now finding that they affect your sleep.

Thank you all, if eventually some of these things happen, I'll be sure to tell.
