Description:
This book explores the phenomenon of precognitive dreams—dreams that seemingly predict future events—through the lens of Kashmir Shaivism, an ancient Indian spiritual tradition. While precognitive dreams have been documented throughout history and associated with major discoveries and significant events, their deeper meaning and mechanisms remain a mystery.

Surabhi Verma examines this phenomenon in relation to reality and consciousness, drawing insights from Tantraloka and Pratyabhijña Śāstra. The book delves into key concepts such as:

• The distinction between Pure and Reflected Consciousness,
• Spiritual practices (japa, dāna, tapa, pūjā) that can lead to powers like precognition,
• The philosophical framework of pramātā (knower), prameya (object of knowledge), and pramāṇa (means of knowledge),
• Scientific and psychological perspectives on precognition, with references to historical accounts.

Providing a unique cross-disciplinary approach, this book is a valuable resource for scholars and researchers in psychology, parapsychology, and Indian philosophy, offering a deeper understanding of consciousness and its unexplored dimensions.
