Quite a cool dream.

Personally, I rarely lucid dream, and when I do, I never have full control. I have just partial control.

I wish there was a way, or some kind of device made so that you are lucid when you dream.
It would also be awesome if you could continue you dreams where you left off.
And it would be cool if you could record you dreams.

I'm convinced I see the future in my dreams sometimes... no, seriously.

Not like huge events or anything, just short sequences where nothing interesting really happens (they usually turn up by splicing into a dream I'm already having.; I'll be dreaming, then I'll suddenly cut away to a different place with different people where something completely asinine happens that has nothing to do with what I was dreaming about before, and they never last longer than a minute or two, but the I'll just cut straight back into the first dream I was having as if it had just been out on pause or something)

Then sometime in the future (it can be as early as the morning after, but the furthest one I had was the first one of these dreams, which I only remembered because it was so random and unusual at the time, didn't recreate itself in reality until 10 years after the dream) the thing I saw in the dream will happen and every detail will be identical to the dream. These are just completely day-to-day things that when in context would slip by unnoticed if they didn't trigger flashbacks to when I had the dream.

I think I might need to make my own thread cos the world needs to hear about this shit.
This kind of happens to me. Randomly in the day, sometimes I have deja vu. For 5 seconds, I will recognize everything that is going on, and I will remember that it was from a dream. I will even remember when the dream happened, although I never remember the actual dream.

I don't remember any dreams like that, but I know I've had them. I can remember waking up completely confused to where I am or how I got there.

Or hey, have you ever woken up in the middle of the night extremely sick or needing to really, REALLY go number 2? I'll know I need to get to the nearest bathroom pronto, but I'm not totally sure why. Sometimes I'll think I'm being attacked, or will talk to people who were in my dream. My subconscious knows where I am and what's going on, but it's like I'm a completely different person. It's a very weird sensation.

I've had a couple uber realistic dreams like that, and a couple that I would've definitely liked to stay in instead of real life...but by far the most unusual realistic one was one where I went to a political debate. I somehow got to talking to some military veteran dude, and I somehow got around to finding out that everyone born in Ohio had "Common Sense of Cylinder". I'm still confused as to what that means.

There was one in particular that felt ultra real, like what you described here, where there was something I had found, something I had learned, that wasn't supposed to be found. Almost every government on the face of the earth wanted me dead, and I was constantly on the run. And I felt like crap because I inadvertently had drawn my girlfriend into all of this and now she was on the run too. It kinda played out like a Bourne movie, with the exception of that I suck and have no training in that stuff, and my dream seemed to know it and portrayed it that way. Most of what I did accomplish was sheer luck and/or from what simple things my mind could rapidly concoct to deal with the obstacles being rapidly presented before me.
It was one of those dreams that makes you wake up in the morning with your heart pounding super fast.

Yeah, I've had some instances that seemed like that. Mostly unimportant but identifiable things. Sometimes in vague form where I don't know any details, just foggy portrait in my dream. Sometimes almost disturbingly clear and specific.
Also, I've had times outside of dreams when this has occurred. Knowing something will happen about 30 seconds before it does.
I'm starting to be very curious if humanity does indeed possess some sort of sixth sense, or whatever you want to call it.
Its like that feeling when you know someone is looking at you, even if you don't know where they are until later on when they reveal to you that they've been watching.

I've had somethign similar, except I was a different version of myself. I was the me I would have been if I'd joined the military ... it was really weird, and I remember thinking "This is too real to be a dream". When I woke up, it was like I'd lost something precious because to me, in that dream I'd had that life, so it was like ... okay, try imagining you suddenly wake up and find you haven't finished school and gotten the course you wanted, or you haven't finished your apprenticeship, or you actually did lose contact with a close friend. It took a few seconds to realise it had been a dream, and about a minute after that to shake my feeling of loss.

Reminds me of a dream I had when I was younger.

I woke up with a new family, a bunch of people who were essentially odd analogues to my real family. So it was still two sisters one brother and two parents, but different personalities, different ages.

We actually ended up spending what felt like weeks together. Only at the end of the dream, when I realized it was a dream did I realize that they weren't my real family, and that when I woke up they'd disappear. So I said my tearful goodbyes, hugged them all, they waved and I woke up.

I still remember all of their faces. It's still a sad memory. Fucked. Up.

Iv'e had dreams like that. Iv'e also had random dreams that I couldn't make sense of only to see them happening very similarly in real life years later.

Only one I can think of is one fairly recently that was bits and pieces from a relationship with a German exchange student at the local college. And she looked incredibly familiar, even though looking back I've never met anyone who looks anything like her. There was a slight resemblance to Natalie Portman, but not exact. Not to mention the fact that Natalie Portman isn't an 18 year old German business student in a small town in Canada.

Wasn't happy when I woke up from that one.

Captcha: for Theyour Where or what is "Theyour"?

The closest realistic dream I had was one were I was in my house and was standing by the ledge which allows you to see the 1st floor from the 2ND floor without going by the stairs. I was about to climb it and jump off but I couldn't reach the handrails(this dream happened when I was 6 years old). I then thought of a stepladder in the basement that could help me climb this and then I felt a couple inches higher. i looked down and I was on top of the stepladder and could now reach the handrails(my six year old mind was a little suspicious of how this happened but I just shrugged and climb on the ledge). I then jumped off the ledge, was in the air for about 10 seconds and right before impact I woke up.

You should read a book called The Dictionary of the Khazars. A lot of it has to do with characters exploring the dreams of others. There's a particular part that very much resembles what you described. It's a very unique book. Never read anything even remotely like it. Definitely one of my favourites if not outright my favourite.
