Dream Question

I woke up this morning feeling a pressing need to write to Ernie the Attorney. Sure, that’s how I usually wake up, but this morning it was different. I had a semi-vivid dream in which I was waiting in line for some event and the people ahead of me were inhaling the fumes from some burning herb — not grass, but clearly an intoxicant of some sort. So, when it was my turn, I took a deep draught. At that moment, a police officer who had been watching arrested us all. But, I thought, I’d be able to get off because — and this is the question for Ernie — the cop had allowed the dope to move down the line in order to be able to catch more of us at it. That means he knowingly allowed an illegal event to proceed, and that’s the way I’d wriggle off the hook.

Ernie, what’s your legal judgment? And, Dr. Freud, what do you make of this?

  1. Dave – I recommend that you try to relax and get some better sleep, or at least some better dreams. I don’t practice criminal law much, but once long ago (it seems like a dream now) I was forced to learn about criminal law in order to get my law license. I know that a defense to a criminal charge is something called “entrapment” but I don’t that would apply. The police can’t set up a situation that would cause a person, not previously disposed to commit a crime, to commit a crime. So whenever the FBI sets up a Sting Operation (replete with video etc) you usually see the defendant claim entrapment. What else can they claim? And the question of “predisposition” is usually the turning point. But your example doesn’t really involve the cops setting someone up. It involves them waiting patiently so as to catch more people. And the people look, to me, to be predisposed. Just my thoughts, but I’m sure that a real criminal lawyer would have a better answer.

  2. Ok I don’t know if this is something that you can help me with but for the past 3 weeks atleast once a week I get dayjavoo. What causes that? And how can I stop it?

  3. i think that dayjavoo is a subconscious memory from a past life in which you had experienced a similar ritual. i dont know if you believe in reincarnation but i do and i feel you carry certain things; memories, behaviors, etc. to your next life. maybe its a warning or simply you are overlooking something signifigant to you from a past life

  4. hey, im beginning to feel quite worried because everyday of my life i get atleast 1 or 2 dayjavoo’s and its quite scary but i dont understand exactly why this is happening to me but everywhere i go i get one :s so i dont know i went on holiday the other day and saw sm1 i swear i had seen before but i have never seen him and its extremly creepy please help yours sincerely Kc

  5. I get dajavoo quite often usually after smoking but it will last a couple days and certain things I do feel like I have already done and when someone will say something I ask if they have ever said that to me before they say no, but I swear they have. It really freaks me out sometimes because its so much familiar things its overwhelming! why does this happen to me? and what can I do about it?

  6. This is going to seem extremely weird most likely.. and its going to be hard to describe it. But anyways, usually about once a month or so ill daydream about something or about people and still be able to be aware of what im doing at the same time. However it is almost like I dont know the people or situations i am daydreaming about however it feels like im remembering dreams or something i have experience before. Like i said its weird and i cant really explain it that well. It is a really confusing state and it lasts for about 15-30 minutes and then gradually wares away and i dont remember much of what i was daydreaming about. Do you have any idea what could cause this?

  7. wen i get dayjavoo i see sumthing and it actually happens after a long time….please explain it sincerely, tutti and tutti

  8. this is realy wierd. somtimes ill be sleeping and ile dreem somthing and that day it hapens. I dont no if this is dayjavoo or somthing else like seing the futer. For ex.
