I can relate...I have what I call "weird dreams." I've seen people get into motor vehicle accidents and their head rolled off...I've found the body of a dead missing girl in a shed (even after the father lied to me) (oddly enough the next day a headline in the news on tv was that a missing girl was found in her shed... oddly enough)...makes me wonder if some of these things I see actually happen at any point in reality.

I've been chased by guys in black and everytime I pick up a phone in my dream to call 911 for help it never works...the one time I got through the operator told me to hold! I've had my teeth knocked out, I've fought with people, I've even been molested...all in my dreams. And here I thought I was the only one with night terrors.
