Last night I was looking at some of the dreams I had recorded over many years. Previously I had typed them up, until 2000 anyway, but in more recent times they have just been handwritten scraps of paper, but even then they can be quite interesting.
The number of times I am trying to unravel some secret known only to a few within society is legion, or about religion, babies and children, graves, water, and many more subjects. I remember seeing my "tombstone" which in England is not the word we would use - "grave" is the appropriate form here.
For once, I wrote on this site about a dream I had involving ants, and today, I can prove that the dream could, under certain circumstances, be considered "prophetic". Ants have been found at my workplace, I saw them, they were in the ladies toilet, and all over the taps on the wash basin. Success! Proof of precognition.
However, I later learned that there had been ants spotted in one of the downstairs offices last week but as I had never been informed I was unaware of the fact.
Therefore, was this dream prophetic or a form of telepathic message? Do we pick up information from other sources at the time, which don't become public until later?
The Challenger Disaster was one dream I was not able to confirm had any prophetic significance for several years - 5 in fact. Once I realised what the dream had referred to I accepted it as precognitive. Yet, some time later I learned that the rings that did the damage had been noted to be susceptible to possible problems at the time of my dream but the information had not been made public until much much later. So, my query is this - are my dreams prophetic or telepathic?
Does it Matter?

Dear Carol:
Does it matter?
What if the words "prophetic" and "telepathic" refer to two aspects of the same greater reality?
What's important is that your dreams have broken the rules of physical reality, as they are generally understood.
Carefully recording dreams is of course an excellent practice, serving to both clarify and create a record that may well outlast memory (that is, waking memory).
Note that the record is really a kind of translation, however; fully capturing the reality of a dream may not be possible when not dreaming.
Even so, the record can also serve as an effective way to refocus on a particular dream reality long after the original dream.

Maybe a mix of both
Maybe dreams are a mix of both. Science tells us that dreams are a form of "downloading" that our brain performs to control all the info that it's been absorbing while awake. Keeping a being deprived of sleep is the surest path to insanity and death.
Dreams are also, IMO, kind of like a staging, a weird drama—or comedy—that unfolds just for you, and during those stagings pearls of great wisdom are to be found.
Now, about recording them, I've often read people consider this routine as an excellent tool to help you in other areas of consciousness development. The first recommendation done to anyone who wants to experience lucid dreaming is to record the dreams. There may be something to that which is important, trying to bring those ideas you deal in dream to the waking consciousness.

A dream within a dream
Hello Carol,
I would consider the dreams you mention neither prophetic or telepathic (labels) but images from you to you, stripped from time. In other words your 'experiences' from the past or future registered in the now-dream. There are of cause other kinds of 'dreams' that manifest beyond this reality, and these can be 'driven' by you alone and there are those that you just take part in as a witness or a subject.
In any case keeping a dream diary is a good way to spent time on this side, in fact keeping a diary of this (dream) reality is a good idea aswell.

dreams and journals
I am certainly not qualified to analyze your dreams. However I would predict that if you keep an accurate journal of them, as far as that is possible, then this journal will influence your dreams.
Some dreams may be prophetic, I am not sure. Most dreams are based on memories, and confused memories. Perhaps not your dreams, obviously I don't know. Many dreams are a strange analysis of memories, and perhaps that is where some of the prophetic part comes from.
But if you keep a journal, and re-read the dreams with your waking mind, I am sure it will influence what you dream about.

Ants Ahoy!
Alright. There were ants in the ladies' tolet. And on the washbasin. More importantly, were the toilet bowl ants singing the "Tidy Bowl" song? Those up on the basin...I guess they were following office policy, washing their hands after using the toilet.
I'm most concerned about the ones in the downstairs office. Were they on the payroll? Are they authorized to work in this country? Did any of them go by the name "Mr. Anderson"?
Formic acid! Was there a scent of formic acid in the ventilator ducts?
