A couple of weeks ago i had a dream, i wont bore oyu with the details, that seemed so real at the time that when I woke up I had to stop and think whther it had happened or not. This is such a strange feeling. Has this happened to anyone else ?

I know exactly what you are talking about! Sometimes I have even still thought about it later in the day going "Did I dream that, Or did that really happen?" It's crazy what your imagination is able to do. Do you believe that dreams mean something? I certainly do for one.

Yeh it is crazy ! I agree with you on that, many of my dreams that happen are related to something ive done the day before but just twisted by my imagination.

It happened a lot when I was younger. But of course, I was too young to process things in my mind. So I can't really say until now if those memories were just dreams or surreal imagination, or it could be that it actually happened while I was half awake / half asleep. Hehe. LoL. =D

Yeh i know what you mean. I can never tell if things i remember from my early years were dreams or actually happened.

It happens a lot to me too. It seems so real which is really weird. I'm not sure how do or how does anybody trigger this kind of dreams. There were times that I think a lot before going to bed but I won't dreamt of a single thing. There are times that I am so relaxed before sleeping but I will dream very vividly.

I have dreams like that frequently! Last night (probably because my drains were running slow last week) I dreamed that my son flushed the toilet and it overflowed all over the bathroom. I got out of bed and hurried to the bathroom, thinking it would be a mess! Other times I will wake up in the morning expecting to see the weather the way I dreamed it or a beloved (often deceased) relative sleeping in the next room.

I had plenty of dreams like that. I woke up wondering if it really happened or not scared out of my head. Everything around me felt so weird like I was in a whole different world. I felt like my room was different, my kitchen was different. It's a crazy thing to experience but can sometimes be a good thing depending how you look at dreams. I sometimes think dreams are messages and sometimes aren't. I don't know, who knows what they mean if they mean anything.

Yes i agree with your point of view as to how sometime things occur but we do not realize as to what we saw was real or just a dream . Yes i have also experienced certain dreams in my life few times of so. it was a different experience of so. Sometimes i usually would get scared of so also. it had been a different experience, these all arise as to what our mind and heart feel and our imaginary thinking through our mind which is not resting at all.
