clairvoyance and precognition

as a relative newbie, and since the search function does not seem to be working as I am writing, I am not sure what the C's say about true clairvoyant experiences or detailed and completely accurate precognitive dreams. Does anyone else here have either? The dreams I used to have were very disturbing, as I was always looking out through the eyes of someone who died, just before their deaths, and able to observe their environments, hear the thoughts in their head, though still fully in control of my own mind; in fact having my own simultaneous thought stream about what was going on, what they were thinking, and the plight of the person involved. I never got specific enough information to warn the person involved, and after several years, asked the Universe to stop sending the messages, as I couldn't do anything constructive with the information. Even after this, I had an incident with a missing person who appeared to me in spirit and asked me to help find his body to give his family closure. I asked him why he came, as I did not want these dreams any longer, and he replied I was the only one around here who could hear him, so I told him I would try. And he proceeded to take me through the night when he died. Again, I did not get enough specific information (he had been taken by car to a place where he was shot) like hwy turnoff ramp number or street signs to indicate where he was taken, and this person was murdered by two other young men. I have been occasionally exasperated with myself in the years since for being unable to do anything for him. I would like to know if anyone else has had similar experiences, and any advice on how to finally put the sense of guilt to rest.

In a more lighthearted vein, I can relate a couple series of dreams I had, that finally urged me to find a book on dream translation to see what they meant, and I can recommend the book, which is Understand Your Dreams by Alice Parker, who explains that we often dream in archetypes, or a symbolic language. One recurrent dream set was tornadoes in different settings. The book says these are actually predictive of times of great upheaval in life, and this was certainly true for the times when I had them. The other was a long series of dreams of filthy dirty swimming pools, that I had to clean, and often my husband would help me with the chore. These were followed by a couple dreams of sparkling clean swimming pools, in which I would jump and swim like a fish- though in life I don't swim. I went through several years of emotional turmoil because of problems with my birth family, and I frequently talked these over with my late husband, a psyche nurse.
The pools appeared clean only when the problems were finally resolved. The book says that dirty water symbolizes something you can't see your way through; so the clean pools were of course acknowledging the resolution.
 
First, as a tip for searching, be sure the little pull-down menu under the search field says 'Entire Forum' to get the widest search. It defaults to 'This topic', and if that is selected, your search will only be in the current thread, which may not contain anything you are looking for. Hope that helps.

There is quite a bit of discussion about dreams to be found, and people often share their dreams here on the forum.

It sounds like you've had some intense experiences with dreams and precognition. One of the main ideas you'll encounter around here is that it is difficult, if not impossible, to know or trust with certainty how to understand our experiences unless we first undertake a serious effort to know ourselves as objectively as possible.

Others may have a different take, but I don't think you should feel guilty for not being able to help the person in your dream. Would you feel the same guilt if the same scenario had played out in real life, with someone approaching out of the blue and asking you do do something heroic which you were unable to do?
 
Thank you for reframing that scenario! of course, it looks and feels better from that perspective, so I will hold on to that for mulling over.
 
I know it has been a long time since you posted, I thought I would cruise around and see if people were dreaming about something else besides disasters and monsters and found you.

I'd like to say that I have dreams all the time about people that I don't know personally, not all of them are tragic, some are actually pretty boring and I've asked myself, what is the purpose behind this? Is there some sort of 'leakage' going on? Are these 'parallel dimensions?'

I remember one summer, I had 'another life' every night, in which it was so vivid, that I would have wistful memories during the day of activities or experiences in those dreams of an idyllic childhood in a rural setting, lots of slow, lazy, satisfying days of being a boy in a family with a dog and a swing over tall grass and a river bank. There were loving interactions (really great dinners with lots of family at the table, eating wholesome homemade food) with family members and neighbors--no conflicts or accidents or attacks, just lovely, pleasant times of joy.
