Lately I have been questioning most of my experiences ive had in my life that most people would lable "Paranormal". Ive been looking back at them with a sensible healthy-sceptic mindset and tried to find natural explanations for them, as Ive come to realise how easy it is to belive in what you want to belive in, and forget about things that goes against what we belive.
But some dream experiences ive had are just impossible to be sceptic about. Ive had a fair share of memorable dreams, and been deeply impressed at their subconcious language and symbolic meanings. Sometimes it seems that a dream youve had for 5 minutes felt like 5 years in dreamtime. And sometimes ive woken up with a feeling that the dream was alot more real than the world ive just awoken in that i know so well... I have also had an OBE experience where i was floating around in my room for a little thinking "holy crap, I finally did it!). I had almoast forgotten about it the morning after, I was just lucky i was into dreaming at that period and did my routinal dream recalling when i came to remember it. I was thrilled for weeks after that experience. unfortunatly as I stopped writing down my dreams, I also stopped remembering them and having less lucid dreams again...
One experience which truly convinced me that this stuff is beyond "real", was earlier this year. For 6 years ive had a very good realationship with a guy from Malta (Im norwegian), who is the same age as me. We had always talked about getting together one day and actually meet, untill one night we did in a dream I had. I remembered in the dream i was with him in his parents house where he lives, happier than ever, staring into eachothers eyes , smiling and saying "we finally did it, we finally met". It felt more vivid and real than anything, even though thats all i remember from it, plus some minor details about the rooms in his house.
As i logged onto msn the morning after he messaged me the very first second i came online, talking about his dream from the same night where he had met me at the Maltese airport, hugged me like crazy and taken me to his parents house, where we had been superhyped about it. The moment he explained his dream to me i was absolutely flabbergasted. And so was he when i followed up by explaining what i had dreamt
Anyway, half year later, after the dream, i flew down to him and met him, and it was basiacly just like in the dream, only alot better. I stayed there 2 weeks and had the best time of my life as of yet, and im definatly going back next year. I also noticed how his parents house had striking similarities from how i remembered it in the dream, which i couldnt have known of beforehand. We had also not planned the meeting before the dream, and this was the first time we had ever dreamt of eachothers.
That was all the proof i needed to know that dreams arent "just in the head" so to speak. Thats my story
I share
your perspective on dreams as a powerful "convince-er" of sorts. It was ultimately a dream experience that "snap out of it" so to speak in terms
of perception beyond material existence alone
