I never used to remember my dreams, just the fleeting feelings as you wake, as a kid I used to sleep walk, wake up outside 1/2 a mile from the house, they locked me in after a couple of those episodes. Shortly after I got married, I woke up naked in the car several times (subconsciously making my escape 13 years before making my escape)...crazy. Speaking of crazy way back a long long time ago I was envolved with a lady who was into astral travel, so of course to find her finer I too was extreamly interested in astral travel....heres the deal, no pot or booze, just meditation, after about two or three weeks we would wake up at several specified times during the night and write down in these little scented notebooks what we were dreaming about, so you could read what you wrote and remember your dreams. the theory is that you can train yourself to travel within and control your dreams, I kept this up for about three to four months and recorded some very vivid dreams....Well the girl done moved away, you know how they are, but we stayed in touch and she would discuss her astral adventures with skeptical old me. Then one night she said she had
traveled to my house in her dreams and she correctly described the contents of the kitchen sink, the page the telephone book was turned to on the table, lp on the turntable etc...freaked me out, she played this wee game several times with great and inexplicable accuracy....When I moved, she was able to tell me the colours and locations of the rooms within my new place and the colour of the new sofa (maroon) and how many gold fish in the tank. I couldn't explain it then, and I can't explain it now.
Many years later I began having deja vu like experiences, meeting people I had never met before, but knowing their names before we were introduced, knowing what they were going to say before they said it, which came in handy one time since we were buying a car off them. Walking into a house in a town I had never been to before and illogically knowing the exact decor and furniture layout before going in and the intence feeling of having been there before...It took me sometime to realise that some of these things had occured in the dreams decades before, I dug out the little old scented notebook and sure enough many of these events were recorded.....no fucking lottery numbers though
I still have the occasional vivid type dreams with future deja vu sequels, but more often than not its the running or the falling and wake up sweating and scared as hell type dreams....hence the insomnia home remedy
