I've had dreams where in a short period of time(usually the next day), what i dreamt actually happens, like ultimate deja vu(if i can spell). At least 60% of my dreams are like that. I've also had dreams where i've almost died. I remember 2 dreams like that. One of them(when i was 13 i believe) was when i was walking on the inside of a volcano, and the chunk of floor that i was on gave in, and then i fell, but woke up before i hit lava, but had a fever of 104 that lasted only 15 minutes????? And the other time, i was swimming, and then randomly a pair of iron boots came onto my feet(this was around the time i was playing legend of zelda: ocarina of time, like how link gets those heavy boots in the game, prob around 12ish maybe?) and i sunk to the bottom and started to drown. I woke up and coughed up a mouthful of weird tasting salty water. very very very very odd. Also, in most of my dreams i can feel what's going on, like heat, cold, pain, wind and i can control what i'm doing. ah well, guess that's just how i dream :P
EDIT: oh and not to mention, i only dream about once a week now adays(even though my life is very "action packed). Other days, i just see black for 2 seconds then wake up.
