There's a glitch in the matrix... can't believe no one said that yet! I'm too much nerd for my own good

Quote: "No, you're wrong. you only dream during REM sleep(not remark, its random eye movement"

That would be Rapid eye movement, but you're right, dreams only happen during REM. The body is asleep, and if you are suddenly awoken during REM sleep, you might experience some pretty weird phenomena, like thinking you're floating for instance. Allegedly some people who sleep walk, an occurence that happens during REM sleep, can actually dream about doing something but do it in real life... like Kenneth Parks, who drove a car several miles, murdered his in-laws, then drove home and returned to bed, all while allegedly asleep. (The sad part? He actually was ACQUITTED!) Other similar cases of "sleepwalking murder" have occured as well.. Unrelated, but I thought you folks might find that interesting

As for anything paranormal, my opinion is useless. I don't believe in ghosts or zombies or vampires or mummies or god or Paris Hilton having talent or anything else that science can't prove exists. In my opinion, as creepy as the events have been, it was probably random luck, even if it was incredible, constant, repeated cases of luck. It can happen... I've won multiple times at the roulette tables in Taj Mahal and Turning Stone in succession. But that's just my opinion, maybe I'm wrong. But there's nothing scientifically viable about predictions or supernatural foresight, not yet anyway (like maybe we don't have the technology to see it or something). Nostradamus was never right... he was right because we wanted him to be right. He made a bunch of extremely vague predictions without dates and of course they'll seem right if you're looking for it (and when he did try to name dates, they were wrong... the world didn't end in the 1980's, even if lots of Hollywood careers did). Like judging the anti-christ or the bible code: People try to add up the numbers in someone's name to *make* them the anti-christ because they *want* them to be the anti-christ (Ronald Reagan, George Bush, and Prince William are possibly the most famous of these bad "predictions"), and they create algorithms to find things in the bible that aren't really there, because they *want* to find them. I dunno, that's just my opinion though... I don't think you're nuts or crazy or anything, I just think you've been lucky because it can't be proven otherwise. When you have these visions, report any that don't come true and look for them with the same intensity

That is why I prefer lucid dreams, they have been scientifically proven and there are even some methods with which you can induce a lucid dream.

I also get the feeling of Deja vu quite a bit. It seems like I've dreamed out it before, the closest satisfactoryexplination I'vecome across is that it's simply a minor interruption in perception. Just an illusion.

I noticed that if I really repeat to myself what I want to dream about before I go to sleep then a lot of the time I do (what I remember obviously; might be 100% if I could remember the lot). Even though this could be seriously more fun I have only used my powers so far to star in 80's TV shows. Such as the A-Team and Knight Rider... Yep.... Although still not lucid, but I get to have weird dreams about Mr T

And don't say "Whadya talkin' 'bout fool!!!" or I'll have to kill you. In my dreams....

Cheers

I am 99% probably lying in bed right now... so don't blame me for crappy typing
