    Alright so to start off i always had very strong connections to my dreams and always new something was different about them, at the time i couldnt figure out what it was. In my everyday life i have those visions (just like deja-vus, except that i know i would be living this exact moment; me having a vision of it before it happens). It's very hard to explain it so, sorry for my lack of presision :p

    My lucid dreams (which means when i'm asleep and dreaming i am aware of my dreaming state), though lately it has become more complex because the dreams are sooo real that i can't differ if i'm awake or not. I will be asking myself during the dream: "OK! this is a dream, i know it, though this is way to real for it to be a dream". So it mind fucks me because in my dreams it's exactly like me in my everyday life, i see the exact same, think the same etc.. It literally is as if i was ALWAYS awake, my mind/soul is never sleeping.

    Sometimes my dreams are as if i was on psychedelic drugs, or just weed for that matter. My mind gets to be free but also imaginating and projecting stuff non-stop. I get to go on those crazy adventures when i'm in my dream state, i actually don't really need drugs in my real life because of it, though i gotta admit it sometimes is good to have both :p Long story short, i'm concerned about whats going with my dreams and subconsious mostly because of my, vision powers.

    Do any of you have a similar situation or have ideas why this is occuring to my mind? Tell me what you're crazy dreams are about and stuff i wanna hear all about it :D

    Do any of the dreams repeat? Sometimes that might mean that they are trying to tell you something. Especially the very involved and crazy ones might be your mind trying to get your attention. See if you can pinpoint any recurring images or symbols and find any connections between them and your real life.

    Also, you might want to meditate on some of the images-- who knows what you might find...

    I'm in a similar situation, I often have very vivid, memorable dreams and worse still, I often continue to see things from my dreams for a few minutes after I wake up. This coming from someone that doesn't take any drugs.

    I think as long as your dreams aren't awful, it's just one of those things. Perhaps you're stressed out so your brain is working over time to sort things out as you sleep? Dreams are basically the mind's defrag/bug fix system. ;D

    i feel like thats a lot to deal with, the relationship between your dream life and reality being so intertwined
    lately i've been having lots of dreams where i question whether i'm dreaming or its reality. i proceed to convince myself its real and forget about it but id like to try using that situation to have a lucid dream

    what it is that you call your 'real life' . . . . . . .
    perhaps is NOT .

    i actually don't think this or that universe being more or less real then this or that other, needs itself to be the over riding concern. what matters is to pay attention to which one we are in when we are in it. to avoid getting into the kind of trouble that happens when you expect one to work the way, the or an, other does.

    Sometimes we dream up alot of our negative thoughts or emotions so it doesnt manifest itself in our waking life...

    I had a premonition here in the states and it played out exactly how it was in the dream- there is alot of upset on this land and my dreams have been unsettling I am so glad I am going home tomorrow!

    Sorry to disappoint you, but I don't think those are "vision powers"...

    That dream deja-vu sensation is fairly common. Most people attribute it to having dreamed about something that they are experiencing when the deja vu occurs because this seems like the most logical explanation. It is in fact most likely a slight "error" that occurs in the brain and causes a false sense of having experienced something before when you actually haven't.

    from Wikipedia:



    As for your dreams becoming extremely vivid and real... have you changed your diet at all lately? Are you sleeping in more than usual? Drinking caffeinated beverages close to bed time? There are a million things that could cause that that have nothing to do with having visions of the future.

    nothing human knows the limits of what is or is not possible. we only know our own probable limits in this waking universe, and that, mostly statistically.

    pre-vissioning in dreams is not reliable, or even particularly useful. but it does occur.
