Funny holidays - Day of Prophetic Dreams

A night's rest reduces the brain's control over the body, allowing a person to relax and look into the future. A dream that occurred from Thursday to Friday, according to popular belief, is considered prophetic. It can promise both good events and troubles. Prophetic dreams come to people during the Holy Week, on the nights before Good Fridays and other celebrations, as well as on March 18, the Day of Prophetic Dreams. Esotericists claim that at night the soul leaves the body and goes on a journey through the astral world. In a dream, a person can experience unprecedented adventures, find an answer to a question that has been tormenting him for a long time, or see future events. Pagan and Christian holidays are closely related to nature and its rhythms. The change in the position of the Earth relative to the Sun affects all forms of life on our planet. So, the day before Epiphany, on the holiday itself, and a day later, its magnetic field deviates from the norm. With this fact, scientists explain the special indicators of acid-base balance, hydrogen potential and electrical conductivity of Epiphany water. Our ancestors, who lived in Rus' long before the advent of Christianity, knew about its acquisition of unusual properties on this day. It is logical to assume that on the days of religious holidays associated with natural cycles, not only the physical characteristics of phenomena change, but other processes that are invisible to the eye also occur. “Once on Epiphany evening the girls wondered,” begins one of his poems V. A. Zhukovsky. During large church celebrations, future events are learned in various ways, incl. and with the help of dreams, which these days become prophetic. This is interesting: Astrologers believe that at night, Aries, Virgo, Scorpio and Aquarius most often see future events. They explain this fact by the specific influence of the ruling planets. The stars heighten the emotionality, intuition and gift of foresight in representatives of these signs. Fasting in many religions is an asceticism that helps a person achieve spiritual enlightenment. Fasting, restrictions, and sometimes complete refusal of food and drink also helps cleanse the body. The fight against “bodily whims” in the form of physical austerities is practiced by Muslim and Christian believers. It is known that during the days of abstinence from eating, divine revelations came not only to the Old Testament prophets (Moses, Daniel and others), but also to ordinary people. Before achieving full enlightenment, Buddha Guatama fasted for 40 days. Pythagoras went the same amount of time without food to enhance his creative and mental abilities. The strictest period in Orthodoxy is Lent. Its start and end dates, like most church holidays, are different every year. However, March 18 is always one of the days of Lent. It is possible that this fact is responsible for the sharpening of intuition and the receipt of various revelations and prophecies in a dream. This is interesting: 5 of the 18 passengers of the famous Titanic gave up their tickets because the day before they dreamed about the ship sinking. A textbook example of prophecies is the table by D.I. Mendeleev. The great scientist saw her in a dream. To M.V. One night Lomonosov received a revelation about his father, washed up on the shore of an uninhabited island due to a shipwreck. It turned out that he really went fishing and never returned. Lomonosov described in detail the island from his dream, where his father’s body was later found. In order to increase the likelihood of receiving night prophecies, there are various rituals. Before going to bed, prayers or incantations are read, and the bedroom is fumigated with valerian root, wormwood, mint and other herbs. These rituals acquire special power on March 18 - the Day of Prophetic Dreams.
