I'm joining the party in sharing some of my thoughts on the Jedi Order and specifically its relationship to the Republic.

The TL;DR version is, "Everything that went wrong with the Jedi Order can IMO be encapsulated in Obi-wan's line at the end of ROTS: 'My allegiance is to the Republic---' as opposed to the Force."

Follow the fake cut!

Force visions and prophetic dreams to be part of the skillset of even untrained Force sensitives. In the prequels, Anakin dreams about becoming a Jedi (TPM), his mother's death (AotC), and Padme's death (RotS). In The Empire Strikes Back, Luke has a vision about his friends being in trouble. In The Clone Wars episode "Assassin," Ahsoka has a dream and series of visions about an attempt on Padme's life. In Star Wars: Rebels, Ezra has a vision of Gall Trayvis and later a dream about his parents. In The Force Awakens, we learn that Rey has been dreaming of Luke's island long before she ever set foot there. So here's my question: if Force visions and prophetic dreams are a known ability, why did Anakin receive such consistently bad advice on dealing with his?
