yeah i broke it\n\nI figured out in my mind that it was simply a preconceived event played out in your mind like a dream you had already had.  So that if the event were to occur you feel as though you have already experienced it, so I took up a challenge and told myself the next time it happened i would make sure to do not as i remembered.\n\nIndeed I did, in spring 2004, while at work I had deja vu and behold i was preparing to talk to someone, so i said i just own't, and walked on, the feeling went away in an instant and i have not had deja vu since.\n\nIf i do, i'll do the same thing.  If you wonder then why you don't constantly have it, it is because it is a specific event, not generic like saying hello to someone, but like all the pieces of a chess set have to be laid out in a perfect way, that your mind can see ahead the next few moves.

Lucid dreams can be a lot of fun. Actively taking part in your dreams just means you have a very active imagination. I have gotten to the point where I can go back and change a part of the dream if i didn't like the way it was going. Try to have fun with them its like interactive movies.

Quite.  Deja vu is a simple case of the brain storing information in the long term memory AND the short term (or working) memory simultaneously.  \n\nWe have two parts of the brain dedicated to memory: long term and short term memory.  Short term memory lasts for about only 30 seconds, while long term memory can last a lifetime.  Normally, information is first allocated to short term memory and then through association or repetition, it is transfered to long term memory.\n\nBut once and a while, the brain will simultaneously allocate a piece of information to both long and short term memory.  Since it's still in our working memory, it's fresh on our minds, but we also feel like it's something we've experienced a while ago also.  That is because we are also "retreiving" this information from our long term memory even though the thing just happened.

Try changing your routine at night before you sleep. Try thinking positive thoughts as you are lying there trying to sleep. Look into 'lucid dreaming' - it is the method of controlling what happens as you dream. \n\nFailing that, it doesn't hurt to discuss your problem with a therapist. \n\nGood luck, sweet dreams.

I have experieced this several times. People have told me it's deja vu, but deja vu is only a strange feeling that you have done something before, not actually dreaming about it.\n\nI was able to experiment a bit (very limited), where in some cases I tried to follow how the dream played out, and in some cases I tried to do it differently.\n\nMy conclusion...\n\nI don't know. I have never met anybody else with the same experience, and haven't been able to find anything on the internet either. Don't worry about seeing the future though, if things come true, they will, if they don't, they won't. Worrying about it won't help a stich.\n\nI would suggest looking into "lucid dreams" which is the closest thing I found where one can control their own dreams, which I have also experienced. Interesting stuff.\n\nGood luck, and try to enjoy it, there aren't too many mystical things in the world today.

Seek training... find out about work-shops, classes, or school... they exist, they're amazing...  and read up honing your skill.  If you've unlocked latent ability, you may find yourself flooded and over-whelmed by input from unwanted sources... practice meditation and vizualization to release that which you do not want, and cultivate what is known in the "Psychic Community" as a "Golden Shield".  This is a visualized, projection of self-protection...

Lucid dreams are amazing things =) I often have them. You can actually initate them with practice! \n\nRemind yourself before you go to sleep to try and look for things that are wrong or out of place in your dream. Good things to remind yourself to look for are lightswitches or printed text. Usually in dreams, because of how your brain works, you have difficulty reading or retaining anything you read. As for lightswitches, if you notice them, try turning them on and off. Likewise, you brain has trouble processing the effect of the lightswitch on the surrounding environment, and flipping the switch doesn't change the light in the room. Once you realize that your dreaming, you can then start to control them, and thats where the real fun begins.\n\nHappy dreaming!

Hello Kathy! I just read your email and look, here we are! :D Most people astral project..they just don"t realize it. It is consciousness that seperates a "dream" from an o.b.e (out of body experience A.K. A. astral projection.)The idea is to expand consciousness and thus lucidity will occure allowing you to take charge of your "dream". \n\nI am currently assisting a friend of mine to have lucid o.b.es and I'm proud to say that he's doing very well and has had several lucid moments alrerady (he's only been programming for about a week). This is all for my perception, this is what I have found to be true for myself and a few others.The etheric cord attaches to the backside of the heart chakra. It is visible while o.b. This is my/other's exit point for their spirit. A.p is almost the same thing as after death...the difference being, you come back to your body. \n\nRelaxation is key.O.b.es, I have found, are better laying on your back.Lavender, pure aromatherapy oil can assist in relaxation. The method which has worked best for me,my friend and many others, was programming A.K.A. auto-suggestion.  I have found that this is the easiest way. All you do is, upon retiring to bed each night, for the remaining time you have before you drif into sleep, you repeat to yourself "I will have a lucid dream". That's it. You don't need to try too hard. Just let the words form. No need to focus excessivly on the words because it is your sunconscious mind that you're programming.\n\nI have found that 5 minutes before sleep is sufficent to obtain results. \n\nWithout lucidity, o.b.es are just "dreams". Without the conscious mind guiding your "dream", the subconsciousness  takes charge and you're confronted with your fears and insecurities.\n\nLucidity can occure just as a person is leaving the body. You will feel many sensations..a lightness, dizziness, you may hear the sound of your spirit as it leaves fully. You may also hear things from other dimensions...heck, many hear those things now! :P\n\nThese sensations are becasue you are now perceiving with your spirit senses. You can accomplish many things when you a.t. Ypu can conquer fears, research in sacred libraries, go into the "future", go into the "past", visit other dimensions, heal yourself, heal others....the list goes on. It is a life style. Once you have o.b.es, life is never quite the same again. :D\n\nHigher consciousness is a wonderful state of being and everyone should strive for it. \n\nSince you may leave throught the backside of the heart chakra like I do, you can gently rub or scratch your back. This will stimulate the chakra (get it to spin faster). Focus on proper breathing. Learning how to breath properly will come in handy much more than just for o.b.es. Take several full breaths...you don't need to keep doing this, as most are used to it and it will work against relaxation if there is too much focus on the breathing...just several breaths (10) will do it.Make sure the breath isn't too forced. \n\nBreath in through the nose or mouth on a count of 5, hold it for a count of 5, than exhale on a count of 5. As you do this, repeat "I will have a lucid dream." (easier than "I will have an out of body experience." or "I will astral project." \n\nThe last one seems short enough however, our consciousness and our subconsciousness understands the word "dream" better. That too, was programmed. If prefered, you can use "I will dream awake." or whichever is easy and very understandable for you to use. If your schedual permits it, you can time your o.b.es. I have a travel alarm clock that wakes my up at 4 AM everyday. It shuts off by itself and it's a quieter model. It does a good job to wake me but not startle me. From there, I program myself. I've  already been asleep and have had periods of R.E.M. so it's a good

1.Lucid dreaming (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucid_dreaming) is a way of controlling your dreams. \n2.I know that you are tired of the nightmares but they are great to ‘work out’ the negative aspects in your life. Welcome them and they may go away just because you changed your attitude.\n3.If try all but they are still there I would contact perhaps say a  good psychologist. \n4. Have been exposed to some chemical lately or take certain medication? \n\nGood luck or actualy have fun

I would suggest taking up meditation for the day time. As for going to sleep at night, visualization works very well once you have the hang of it, you can actually use it to trigger sleep, much like an on/off switch. It's like programming your brain to have a specific response to a particular visualization.

Off and on I believe yes. It depends on what you think is a realistic dream or not. Realistic dreams I believe in some respects are predictions, depending on how you live your life and what kind of path you take. I think those kind of dreams trigger those deja vu feelings when we are awake, alerting you possibly to a realized outcome that you had dreamed about previously.\n\n  The unrealistic or fantasy dreams I believe are symbolic of events that all was,are, and are about to take place. In order to decipher those dreams, you will probably need a dream dictionary to decode what those dreams mean.
