Dreams

Just wondering how many of my friends have had dreams that come true.  I know I have had a few, I have even had dreams that I could totally control which was a lot of fun.  So please share with me any dreams you have had and I could share mine.  Would love to hear about them.

Visions

I have had waking dreams, or visions.  I often wondered what they were or how they happen.  To be someplace else without truly being there. At first I would try to convince myself that it was just part of my imagination, that my mind was trying to create something out of thin air.  Once I would convince myself of that I would find out that the vision I had truly happened and I knew this by approaching the person that was in my waking dream and telling them what I saw.

They would be shocked, asked if I had been spying on them, or if someone else had seen them and they told me about it.  But the detail I would give them could not be explained by just some spy session or a glimpse of some one's eye. 

Science likes to give reasons to why such visual hallucination happen. Brain damage such as small cuts that straddle the cerebral peduncles, or some mid brain structure that controls motor systems and seizures is firing incorrectly is some of the explanations used. So science is saying that a damaged brain is misfiring or firing off to little or to much,  basically that visions come from small seizures or brain damage. 

I am not going to say I don't believe this because after all I flew out of a window when I was a small child.  So what I do believe is that our own normal brains are built to avoid seeing beyond and once there is "damage" we see what the normal brain wouldn't see at all.  To me that is not damage, just a rewire of neurons. 

I also believe that there are those born with their brains wired in this way, it is why they can see things happening far away from them, or maybe even see things that have not even happened yet.  A brain is a very powerful tool that most of us don't use to its potential I can't even imagine what are world would be like if all of us did.
