A while back, I watched a Korean drama called Twinkling Watermelon, which is about a high schooler who goes back in time and meets his dad when he was also in high school. After finishing it, I dreamed that I met my dad when he was around my age, but it turned into a sex dream. It wasn’t necessarily the most absurd, grotesque, or unhinged dream I’ve ever had, but it was definitely the wildest in my opinion because of the implications.
As a kid - 5 years old - i woke up confused because i thought about 2 years had elapsed. I think i experienced something akin to the famous lampshade story where a guy dreams of an entire simulated life. Tbf though that guy’s dream sounds like it was induced by a concussion, but I had nothing of the sought.
I remember having many particularly vivid, surreal, dreams around that time. Unfortunately I can’t remember for sure if I dreamed an entire 2 years of life, nor do i remember the contents of the dream at the time, but i remember feeling like I’d time travelled and I think i told everyone I’d dreamed i was 7.
Almost more interesting to me is the fact that me and some others in my family all have short, decently detailed, precognitive dreams; we get a ‘vision’ of events before they happen, in our sleep.
Many people will tell you this is deja vu - i.e that it's just your brain confusing present with past - but it really doesn't feel like that.
The precognitive dream takes into account a lot of what other people do in the moment, not just what you’re doing. For example my latest one was just me sat in my home office feeling a selection of specific emotions and feeling quite mad at someone, and have a complex chain laid out in my head for why i’m feeling them, and, in the dream, i’m confused as to why i feel that way, because the chain of logic isn’t based on anything i’ve experienced yet, and i wasn’t annoyed with X person at the time.
Then when the moment occured in real life I did know the full context behind my emotions - and because i was baffled by the ‘chain of reasoning’ behind my emotions in the precog dream, and i have presently noticed that my premonition dream is playing out in front of me, i take the time to analyse my emotions a bit more in that moment.
It mostly occurs with conversations, just me sitting alone somewhere, or with going to a new place.
Having read about “second sight” in scottish folklore, the way it manifests for me and my relatives is exactly like that. We likely have scottish ancestry as well.
