YOU ARE NOW ENTERING A DREAM WINDOW ...
(April 14, 2024): So ran this once famous line on over 30 separate pages from my first website, Nostradamus and the New Prophecy Almanacs (now located here at Weebly) ... a site that, thanks to what was then a new Google search engine, made my site one of the top "Nostradamus and other prophecies" sites on the entire Internet (page 1, 2 or 3 of results, depending on the day) for 6 1/2 years straight until Google implemented its fatal May 2011 Panda algorithm, an algorithm that destroyed hundreds of thousands of websites and businesses by de-listing them from the Google search engine and placing other sites like mine on page 30, 40. or 50 (or worse). In 6 months my site, which got 60,000 to 100,000 views a day was barely getting 500 to 1,000 views a day. And like I said, I was one of the lucky ones.
Each dream vision page was dedicated to a visionary dream I had. A link to each window would appear on certain predictions I made on the year-by-year pages (which I referred to as The Almanacs, much as Nostradamus did his annual predictions) as well as a section on my Second Home Page where all the sections and pages of my site were accessible, a grand menu of sorts. Eventually there would also come a Master Dream Window where I tried to put some of the various visions together into some kind of chronology.
The genesis of my dream visions started in 1994, although I had been having futuristic dreams intermittently since 1974. No, I am not a prophet, but the Bible does say that visions will pour forth from God on to those dreaming from time to time.
Joel 2:28-32
“It shall come about after this That I shall pour out My Spirit on all mankind; And your sons and your daughters will prophesy, Your old men will dream dreams, Your young men will see visions. Even on the male and female servants I will pour out My Spirit in those days."
So we have all already had a taste of this, some more than others.
Such dreams can also stop too. Mine more or less have, although occasionally I will still have one.
I believe we may finally be entering the period where the United States will go to war with Iran (please note this was written a few months ago, well before the recent attack on Israel by Iran, and I am late putting this page up). I had many dreams about the event in the 1990's. First was to come a war in Afghanistan, which was crazy to have a dream about back in 1994. Years later 9/11 would cause America to go to war in Afghanistan in October 2001. Then, next came dreams in 1995 and 1996 about a major war in Iraq. That happened finally in 2003. In my dreams both wars would be waged simultaneously for many years ... possibly my entire lifetime or longer. Quagmire wars that would get hot and cool down intermittently, but never go away. Then next would come the US war with Iran, followed by another in Syria ... and they also would be chronic conflicts.
Strangely enough, the war with Iran failed to materialize, although Syria finally arrived for the US in 2016. Former US President Obama ended the US presence in Iraq in 2011 withdrawing all troops, and that had me wondering too if my dreams were valid. But a few years later, back the US went to Iraq ... and then into Syria. We remain in Iraq and Syria to this day. But two years ago, Joe Biden pulled US troops out of Afghanistan, and my dreams said that war would continue there for many years along with Iraq and Iran. So let us see if the US does not find itself returning to Afghanistan the same way we had to go back to Iraq. In any event, the long postponed war with Iran now appears inevitable. Then will come war with China and North Korea and great naval wars in the Persian Gulf and Pacific, then most elements of my dreams will begin to happen in the worst possible way. War with Russia was also dreamed about, but it appeared to be conditional or schizophrenic. It remains quite possible we will NOT go to war with Russia ...
Anyway, here is the first installment for the Dream Window page, the first vision I posted on my old site. Some of these were written as poems, others as notebook entries or posted to a forum I used to run that was deleted when the company became a pay service, requiring those with free forums to start coughing up money, money I could not afford to spend.

Rolling Towards Us
The second outbreak in less than three months
preempts all other televised programming.
Black, gothic, submarine towers emerge
from dark waves in the deep grey mist,
events far away squeeze out the distance
and appear near, too close for belief.

Three months ago came the maps we've grown used to:
Iran, Iraq, Turkey, and Saudi Arabia,
the Persian Gulf, the Caucasus Mountains.
War came, war went, and with it diminished Iran's nuclear threats gutturally expressed
against U.S. naval forces
by a black-bearded man in a black turban.

Now the maps and the experts are back,
interrupting what has passed for normalcy,
The war which receded to nothing
has crested and crashed again in a wave of angst.
Every day for nearly a week we have watched,
drawing new comfort by a shared sense of dé jè vu --
we saw it before and it went away.
Still its bigger, much bigger, this time.

All the black ships, black maps, and black turbans
squeeze together as the geography of war grows more strange:
but between the fissures new words wax
of submarines tracked and lost in the Atlantic Ocean,
nuclear threats uttered against the U.S. mainland,
merging with false memories of cities not yet destroyed
and things we saw before that went away.

Revanchist Russian Empire Issues Nuclear Threats, Great Middle East War, Nightmare in the Persian Gulf
Formerly On Dream Windows 2

9:00 AM
I have had a vivid, terrifying dream that the Soviet Union was reintegrated and that the old style communists were back in power. There was a deep, pervasive sense of dread everywhere because the new leadership was considering using nuclear weapons against the United States.

I have had a vivid, terrifying dream that the Soviet Union was reintegrated and that the old style communists were back in power. There was a deep, pervasive sense of dread everywhere because the new leadership was considering using nuclear weapons against the United States.
At the time there was an ongoing war in the Middle East -- one which I have dreamt about periodically over the last several months -- involving Iran, Iraq, Turkey, Syria, and U.S. forces in the Persian Gulf.
It is a war that seems to rise and ebb, widening a little each time it rises again. In the beginning it mostly involved Iraq and the U.S., then Iraq and Turkey, then Iraq, Iran, and Turkey, and so on. Greece has been involved on some occasions, and so have some of the former Soviet Moslem republics.
In one report, I witnessed smoke and fire billowing out of a large black mass. The scene appeared to be in black and white. The scene turned out to be the destruction of a great naval fleet in the Persian Gulf.

Also, in the dream was a threat repeated over a period of several days of an imminent nuclear attack by the resurrected Soviet Union against the United States. However, the attack never seemed to be carried out. But the times were very, very tense. Most of this appeared televised at home. However, before I awoke, I was watching a televised update on a large screen in a hotel restaurant or lounge.
Comments:
There was, in fact, no resolution to this dream, since I awoke before there could be one. Because the vision was unresolved, our collective fate still resides within us. A nuclear war can happen, but it need not. It is up to us and our elected leaders.
The Middle East dreams have never ended. The on-again, off-again crises in Iraq that began on October 29, 1997 and continue in 1999 and 2000 with U.S.-British airstrikes in the northern and southern no-fly zones very much resemble the opening scenes of the 1996 dream. Dreams of future military clashes between Iraq and Turkey and a larger regional conflict to follow continue periodically, often as though viewed on a large black and white television screen.
