Do you ever have a vision in your mind, but you can’t remember whether it was a dream or actually happened?
Just me? Ok...

[james_day]

Has anybody else had the same exact dreams several times and actually know what's going to happen and you realize that and you seem to complete the dream better each time?

[panntherapannthera]

I have been a prolific dreamer ever since childhood. My parents told me I had called out in my sleep about a local building in my town being on fire which burned down 3-days later. I have kept binders of all my dreams and they often help me be creative and identify hidden feelings of others

[lillian-ypty]

anyone else put in effort and almost continued their dream while half awake??

[HowtolucidOfficial]

I know for a fact everyone has that ONE dream they wish they finished

[ericparker]

I recently had a dream of a distant future that was in the 2500's, I awoke in my bed feeling like I waking up in the past, very surreal especially in the moment.

[warhamerk]

Does anyone have that one recurring dream that you have dreamt as a young child??? It’s crazy that I can still tell you the details of them perfectly too

[bettymunroe]

I want a machine to record my dreams then I can watch them when I'm awake!

[clopediaa]

“People who walked passed you and you look at them for a second may be in ur dream.”

So think about it, even we may be in other people’s dreams and we don’t even know it.

[Musecollective]

I’ve been a lucid dreamer for as long as I can remember. I’ve also had the exact same, detailed dream I seem to have shared with others. In asking all 6 if they ever had the shared dream experience with anyone else they all said no. I don’t know how it works nor do I know why so many dreams come true (down to the details) but they definitely do.

[shivankarrainak]

I frequently have those dreams where you miss a step and fall down . And I suddenly wake up with my heart beating so fast.

[romananikolaevna]

Sometimes my dreams are better than my reality... It’s hard to wake up on those days

[tiffanifarrington]

I’ll never forget the dream I had when I was around the age 8. I dreamt a teddy bear was walking into the women’s restroom at the grocery store. I laughed hysterically in my sleep to the point I woke myself up! Lol

[sarahmccollum]

I can look in the mirror, read, tell time on any clock that I see, and I can dream in black and white as well as many beautiful colors. Many of these topics discussed are correct, but I think many of us dream differently. We all have our own unique way of seeing into the Astral realm, though some of us just have more practice. Still, it is always possible to get closer to the understanding of what is your life's purpose.

[JenErwin]

I can read in my dreams. I watched this video a few days ago and questioned that “fact” because I was almost positive I could read letters in my dreams. Sure enough I dreamt about a book last night and could physically see the letters and words.

[keziasarah]

When i was 14, I dreamt of a guy, but I couldn’t see his face. He’s wearing blue checkered and a souvenir necklace from a local beach spot. On college enrollment, I saw that guy wearing the same thing and we didn’t really talked. We just had a chance to know each other on the 2nd year and he became my boyfriend soon became my husband. Now he passed away 9 years ago. We got 2 kids.

[lesharnpickering]

Ever had a dream of being in a random place but you still know exactly where to go n stuff 💀

[tammysavoie]

Sometimes I dream so intricate, it's like watching a movie.

[Ricsvky]

Most of my dreams are dark in nature. They rarely terrify me or anything but have been the norm since I was a child. I can't recall the last time I dreamt of something "normal" or happy, since dark dreams are my normal.

I have researched on myself and found out that most of my dreams are attached to the dark side of human mind/nature and natural happenings that we don't like to look at, i.e death.

Curiously enough, I can remember a good portion of such dreams, if not mostly of them. And I keep a journal on them.
