Sometimes these aren't logical intuitions or premonitions. They're just random. I've never brought this up with anybody and never had them until I got clean and drug-free. Anybody else have them?

I don't have premonitions in the normal sense of the word.....I mean, I don't see things when I am awake. What freaks me out is that I have dreams that come true in a very literal way. Sometimes the dreams are good.....and more often they are not, so when I have a nightmare....which is all too common...I am paranoid for weeks, even months at times, that it may come to fruition. Usually though, I know....it's always the dreams that have people I know in them. Most of my dreams feature total strangers - well, stangers to me anyway. Interestingly enough....I do believe that the past, present and future are concurrent, and so when I have a dream that later turns out to happen just the way I dreamed it, I then start to wonder if my dreams aren't dreams at all, but rather, small trips into the future.

Here is a good example.... Several years ago, I dreamed about a fight in the woods between me and a good friend of mine....well, formerly a good friend....we don't really talk anymore. In my dream, he (I'll call him Jim) picked up a big log and violently threw it at me (we were camping). About six months later, 'Jim' and I, and his wife and several other friends all decided to go camping, since they were moving out of state, and this would be our last chance to get into the wilderness and have a good time together. The camping trip was a couple of weeks before my birthday, and so 'Jim's' wife gave me my birthday present while we were driving into the mountains. It was a book titled "Psychic Dreaming"

The second day we were in the mountains...'Jim', and our friend Mike got into a HUGE fight over something really very minor. Boys will be boys....and they were 'sword fighting' with marshmallow roasting sticks...'Jim' got hit in the temple area, and totally flipped out. Before I knew it, he and his wife were packing up and leaving, and when I tried to intervene and calm things down(I'm always the peacemaker) 'Jim' got VERY angry with me, and no f-ing joke, he picked up a log that was probably nine feet long and eight inches in diameter and started swinging it at me like a baseball bat! The whole while he's screaming at me, "You wanna start some **** with me too, motherf-er!!!??? Huh? Do you?!?!?!"

*sigh* I miss him. You have to understand....we were friends several years....so the whole thing was strange. I still, to this day, wonder why he got so angry with me?

I have to add that, I never did read that Psychic Dreaming book.
