you may be one:

Precognition is the ability to see onto the future. Many people have precognitive ability and in particular have precognitive dreams.

My dream last night was same as two years earlier. (= Two tomatoes jumping in front of the black wall. WTF?)

^ that's ... so surreal

[ronluna 17]

somehow, some dreams of mine have the function of forseeing my future life. Say I dreamed about an event, like I go to a school playground, and then in the near future in my life, I go to that playground. Weird, huh?

that was like dejavu.

i also have dreams like this but in the opposite way, its related towards my past.

Dreams set at school are very often reported by people from all age groups. Sometimes these dreams highlight childhood insecurities that have still not been resolved.

@iidesu.

I have that same thing too, it is pretty weird.

Interesting facts that you may not (or don't) know about dreams:

You Forget 90% of Your Dreams

Within 5 minutes of waking, half of your dream is forgotten. Within 10 minutes, 90% is gone. The famous poet, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, woke one morning having had a fantastic dream, he put pen to paper and began to describe his “vision in a dream?? in what has become one of English's most famous poems: Kubla Khan.

Blind People also Dream

People who become blind after birth can see images in their dreams. People who are born blind do not see any images, but have dreams equally vivid involving their other senses of sound, smell, touch and emotion. It is hard for a seeing person to imagine, but the body's need for sleep is so strong that it is able to handle virtually all physical situations to make it happen.

Men and Women Dream Differently

Every human being dreams but men and women have different dreams and different physical reactions. Men tend to dream more about other men, while women tend to dream equally about men and women. In addition, both men and women experience sexually related physical reactions to their dreams regardless of whether the dream is sexual in nature; males experience erections and females experience increased vaginal blood flow

You Can Experience an 0rgasm in Your Dream

You can not only have sex as pleasurable as in your real life while dreaming, but also experience an o r g a s m as strong as a real one without any wet results. The sensations felt while lucid dreaming can be as pleasurable and strong as the sensations experienced in the real world.

We Only Dream of What We Know

Our dreams are frequently full of strangers who play out certain parts – did you know that your mind is not inventing those faces – they are real faces of real people that you have seen during your life but may not know or remember? We have all seen hundreds of thousands of faces through our lives, so we have an endless supply of characters for our brain to utilize during our dreams.

Not Everybody Dreams in Color

full 12% of sighted people dream exclusively in black and white. The remaining number dream in full color. Studies from 1915 through to the 1950s maintained that the majority of dreams were in black and white, but these results began to change in the 1960s. Today only 4.4% of the dreams of under-25 year-olds are in black and white. Recent research has suggested that those changing results may be linked to the switch from black-and-white film and TV to color media.

Dreams Prevent Psychosis

In a recent sleep study, students who were awakened at the beginning of each dream, but still allowed their 8 hours of sleep, all experienced difficulty in concentration, irritability, hallucinations, and signs of psychosis after only 3 days. When finally allowed their REM sleep the student's brains made up for lost time by greatly increasing the percentage of sleep spent in the REM stage.

Animals Dream Too

Studies have been done on many different animals, and they all show the same brain waves during dreaming sleep as humans. Watch a dog sleeping sometime. The paws move like they are running and they make yipping sounds as if they are chasing something in a dream.

Body Paralysis

During REM sleep the body is paralyzed by a mechanism in the brain in order to prevent the movements which occur in the dream from causing the physical body to move. However, it is possible for this mechanism to be triggered before, during, or after normal sleep while the brain awakens.

Dream Incorporation

Our mind interprets the external stimuli that our senses are bombarded with when we are asleep and make them a part of our dreams. This means that sometimes in our dreams we hear a sound from reality and incorporate it in a way. For example you may be dreaming that you are in a concert while your brother is playing a guitar during your sleep.

Precognitive Dreams

Results of several surveys across large population sets indicate that between 18% and 38% of people have experienced at least one precognitive dream and 70% have experienced déjà vu. The percentage of persons that believe precognitive dreaming is possible is even higher – ranging from 63% to 98%.

If You Are Snoring, Then You Can Not be Dreaming

This fact is repeated all over the Internet, but I'm a bit suspicious whether it's really true as I haven't found any scientific evidence to support it.

Note: Rapid eye movement (REM) sleep is a normal stage of sleep characterized by rapid movements of the eyes. REM sleep in adult humans typically occupies 20-25% of total sleep, about 90-120 minutes of a night's sleep)

I had one of those chasing/kidnapping dreams again xD This time it was that guy Genesis from the movie Suicide Circle. He kidnapped me and some friends, but I managed to get out and get help. I found this random woman on the street and she said that she'd call her dad. Too bad they ended up getting her too. But her dad eventually showed up and saved the day =D

LMAO! I would laugh so much if I dreamt with one of my favorite movies ever! XD

[tosinn 3]

^ I loved that movie so much. Maybe that's why I dreamt about it? xD

[jurideluhi 6]

Anyone ever dream of ghosts? I experienced it before until I was paralyzed on the bed.Can't get up from the bed. I remembered the ghost was standing at my window. I did tried to open my eyes and get up but I failed. I don't know why I dream about ghosts and the exact location at my place! Probably ghost can also enter our dreams? :/

Another one. I dreamt about my family was killed, and by the time I woke up,I realized I was crying!! A dream that made me cried!

[Licio123 181]

@Evoke: I loved it too, but I couldn't dream anything about it, sucks! Could have been hot japanese schoolgirls jumping over me, instead of the subway track. LOL

@kachida: you have been watching too much Ghost Hound! XD guess you got out of you body

[tosinn 3]

@Licio123: Lol, that sounds even better xD

@kachida: I imagine you must've been scared out of your mind D:

I've been having these dreams of waiting at a train station. Most of the time the train never comes, and when it does, it either passes by really fast (last night it was frozen, and looked really cool) or stops, I get in, and it drives away, passing the station I'm supposed to get off, and continues to really... weird places.

Care to interpret my thoughts and dreams?

[sai 868]

What I was talking about before, recognizing these moments, it happened again today. About a few months ago I dreamt I was in math class and that guy was explaining something but I had never seen the guy in my life. Now he was explaining that same problem on the blackboard, and now I saw it. In that dream I saw my future maths teacher who transferred from another school *creepy*
