hi,

i've been having weird dreams for the past month. 

before i go to bed i usually think of the things i'm doing the next day but while i'm sleeping i have dreams that i am doing the activity i'm doing the next day. whether it is going to work or even getting a pair of socks out. every morning i wake up thinking its two days later. the strange thing is, is that what ever happens in my dream, it actually happens whether it is falling over on a step or deciding to do something i wasn't planning on doing.

if you know what it is or how i can stop it please let me know asapsmile

    Rest assured you have a wonderful  and rare gift/skill. Simply you have ready access to your sunconscioud mind.  the majority of people don't have this  quallity/skill  (or have it to a lesser degree)  so operate  from the conscious mind only.  the conscious mind gets it's  information via the 5 sesnse. people who ready access to  the subconscious mind have access to more infromation, they have access to their 6th sense - the sense people used to use to communicate with/ by before we developed verbal skills as a human spicies.  I had similar experiences when I was very ill in the early  stages  off contracting ME.  I don't want  to go into details as it's likely the moderator may interceprt. pls feel free to contact me privately if u wish.

    best wishes Caitlin

      Emily, I agree with Caitlin to some extent. I've always had similar experiences. It's absolutely nothing to worry about. I suspect most people have this ability, but as most people don't remember their dreams, they're unaware of it. It's only those of us with good dream recall who can tap into it.

      I remember reading about a man in the UK 50 years ago who developed this ability to the point where he was often able to forecast the winners in horse races. Needless to say, he soon got blacklisted by every bookmaker in the country!

      Unfortunately, I've never been able to develop that kind of skill, but was often able to predict minor events of the following day, especially when I was young. And it wasn't down to false memories either - at one point this troubled me so much that I actually wrote up a dream diary every morning to make sure I wasn't imagining it.

      There are three ways of handling this: forget about or deny it (which is what most people do); accept it and get on with your life; or try and develop it. I chose the middle way as that seemed safest to me, but we all make our own choices.

      It's not a medical condition, and will only become one if your anxiety about it becomes unmanageable. And if it's any consolation, the ability - if not nourished and developed - declines with age. That's what happened to me, though I can't say it really is a consolation as I quite miss it.

      You can private message me too if you want to, but please don't get spooked about this - it's perfectly normal.

      Hi Emily - me again. Something I meant to add in my earlier post but forgot is that most people underestimate the possibility of coincidence too. As an example, if you ask most people how many individuals you'd need in the same room for two of them to have the same birthday (though not necessarily same year) they'll say something like 366. In fact the answer, worked out statistically, is only 23.

      Amazing coincidences, whether they involve dreams or not, occur every day. Perhaps they are pure coincidence, and perhaps not. Carl Jung, one of the founding fathers of modern psychology, opted to sit on the fence. He preferred the word synchronicity to coincidence. And even the eminently scientific Albert Einstein famously joked that: "Coincidence is God's way of remaining anonymous".

      Enjoy your dreams and don't worry about them.

    You have an overactive mind I think so your dreams are fairly vivid.

    I firmly believe most of us narcoleptic have these gifts of extrasensory perception, albeit in different ways. I think sometimes being caught between the awake and asleep world's leaves us open to experiencing lots of things others can not. I'm even in a Facebook group for narcoleptics who experience these things
