relaying it in your dreams is in your mind

I don't know about that... This spring I had a particularly vivid example of deja vu that freaked even me out. I was running with the rest of the distance guys on the track, just a nice easy run, talking the whole way, and as we rounded a corner, suddenly I knew that this had happened before. I could remember this exact conversation we were having. In fact, when someone said something that I particularly remembered, I said to a friend, "Now Mike's going to say so-and-so, word for word." And he did. I knew without a doubt how he was going to respond to whatever was said and predicted it before he even said it. It was the weirdest thing.

And once before I had deja vu about having deja vu. I forget the circumstances, but I was doing something, and had that feeling that I had done it before, and then that made me realize that I'd had deja vu about that before as well. It was odd to say the least.

Oh, and I'm pretty sure that the people in my dreams have faces. I've dreamed about someone I've never met before, but I can recall her face vividly.

Came home from work one night. My parent were gone for two weeks. My Grandma had left our spare keys on the kitchen counter for me with a note. We have and open style kitchen and it shares a room with the tv/family room. I watch tv for 2-3 hours only leaving twice. Once to go to the bathroom and another to go the basement and get a soda. We I get ready for bed I think to myself. I should hang the spare keys on the key rack before bed. I look at the counter only to see a note without the keys.

Its been 5 years and the keys have never shown up (we know because of the keyring). I don't think it was anything mystical but rather that there was someone in the house and he left with the keys when I went downstairs. Pretty creepy.

Or your grandma "neglected" to leave the keys in the first place. Can't trust old people ya know? No offense.

There are certain "feelings" I have sometimes, that I cannot explain. It is a feeling of something being enormously dense, but very very light at the same time. I usually get the feeling in a dream. Like, I will pick up something that is huge and dense, but it is featherlight. It is more of a dream state that any reality.

Again... it's tough to explain.

hmm.. a lot of really "weird" stuff has happened to people in my family but pretty much all of it is hearsay so I didn't witness it firsthand. My boyfriend lives near a slave burial ground and once in a while we think we see something or hear something weird but we never actually have proof or see it clearly.. it's hard to tell.

As for de ja vu, I experience that constantly but it doesn't freak me out or anything like that. I know the agents aren't around when I see a black cat pass by twice

I was at a friends house drinking when the subject of religon came up. I being in a half drunken stupor stated to everyone that there was no devil and if there was let's see him prove it. My friends get all serious and say that I should not talk like this. I just laugh and say FVCK the devil.
So I end up passing out at my friends house upon waking up the next morning I find my keys are gone. We all look everywhere, I turn my pockets inside out nothing. So i call a locksmith to have a new key made for my car. Later I end up going home and changing clothes and going over to another friends house to watch a game. It gets late so he tells me just to crash on his couch. I wake up around 300am in pitch black darkness with a horrible burning sensation on my leg after jumping around I realize there is something in my pocket, I pull the item out and low and behold it's my keys, that where lost, burning hot to the touch.

I've had deja vu many times, and quite frankly, it's pretty frgiing weird. But, I have some unbelievably weird stories concerning computers. Once, when I was like 7 or 8, the power at my house had gone out. My dad, who was a computer nut, had back up power to just his office, which contained one of the first dells, and an old apple computer. I was overjoyed that I could play the computer, so I was playing some old game, can't really remember what it was. I was called up to eat some canned shit, so i left the comp on and qwent upstairs. When I came back, the computer I was playing on was turne completely off, and the moniter that wasnt hooked up to anything had a command prompt on it. it looked like this.
C:>power off,auxillery power on,??????????????????Abort,Retry, FAIL?
I was so freaked out, that I was frozen in place. Eventually I summoned up th courage to try and turn it off. Nothing would work. To make matters even more freaky, I started to hear some freaky interference coming through my speakers. I could have sworn that I heard a female voice through the static. Then, the screens all made that crakcling noise when the turn off, and the command prompt turned off, and my game flashed back on the other moniter. I literally crapped my self when my dad told me that he didnt have any auxillery power to his office at all, because the old generator died. OOOOHHHH, command prompts and crap like that are very creepy in the right context.

I paid a visit to Dachau mid-Sept last year. When I reached the start of that tree-flanked path it started to rain.

Thing was, the rain was localised in the immediate vicinity of the camp, lasting for only several minutes before the sky cleared completely.

A friend who was with me observed that perhaps the heavens were crying for the perished souls there (tacky perhaps, I know). I didn't feel unsettled by it, but it added a little more meaning to the tour.

I've experienced deja vu many times. I have been able to finish people's sentences for them. It feels weird but really neat when it happens. Sometimes when I dream about a normal everyday situation, I look for it. And it usually happens eventually.

I read once about dreams being visions into parallel universes, the way things could be and whatnot. That's if you are into the whole paranormal/occult thing. My one friend in high school was all about it, so I learned a little about it from him and some books. Interesting stuff, even if not completely believable.

Back home, we have this ceremony done by some of the religious body, though its mostly considered black magic. I've seen it being done, but I still dont believe it, because all the people involved were believers themselves. They get personal articles like pens, combs and hair. Then this religious guy performs some kind of ceremony which lasts quite a while and after that he gives you some things like stuff to be added to food and all the articles to be kept back in their place. Then slowly after a while the person pretty much consents to anything. I had this done to a friend and she started acting crazy with her children. It was like she had no control over herself. It took me an quite some time to calm her down. Freaked me out a bit, so the kids were pretty frightened.

What about hypnosis? How is it done? Is it all that easy and quick to be done? The thing is that I do keep an open mind to such things because there are many things which cannot be explained, but in searching for an explanation I dont want to believe in all the useless stuff out there.

I only wish things made more sense.

I don't know anything about hypnosis, but on your first example, the part about "stuff to be added to food" kind of makes me wonder... magic brownies, anyone?

It would help if we knew what religious group this is. For an example: some Pentecostals (a denomination of Protestant Christianity - and not all Pentecostals believe this AFAIK) believe in being "slain in the spirit" which as I understand it is where the "slayer" pronounces some prayer over the "slayee," at which point the latter falls over (passes out?). Needless to say, I'm a bit skeptical that some of these things could be psychological (the person has been trained for ever to expect it to happen this way, so they subconsciously "act along"), but again I don't know enough to be making any informed decisions (do any of us?).

I wonder if the stuff added to the food was some strong drug. I've heard that guys use stuff at parties to get women into bed. But mind control, well, that seems ridiculous. But then I may be mistaken.

Having not had any experience with drugs (not trying to sound self-righteous here, just stating the truth), I don't know if there are any that make one passive and concentual to such manipulation or not. Anyway, I would be wary of any religion that made me surrender control of my own mind, whether through drugs, or hypnosis, or whatever other form of manipulation they might use. Again, I would be highly skeptical that anything "supernatural" is going on here... it's probably just people duped into taking the drugs or believing whatever the minister says, or something. But then I could be wrong; I have been many times before.

This happened just last week and it was really weird but I didnt tell anyone because it kinda made me depressed. Well ok, I am/was so in love with my sister in laws sister who is 20 and she is really cool and a really good girl and was saving her virginity for marriage. My brother and all of them live 1000+ miles from where my parents and I are and so he calls my parents just to talk as usual. Well Im in my room knowing that he is on the phone with my parents but dont know what they are talking about so Im just going about my little things in my room and for some reason I just started wondering what they were talking about even though I had no clue or even made an effort to hear in on the conversation. Well during my thinking for some reason I thought damn I hope she doesnt get pregnant or do anything stupid like just out of the blue and sure enough after they were done talking I asked my mom about all the latest news from them and she said not to tell anyone but that girl was pregnant. I was completely shocked and amazed at how I knew that was going to happen but at the same time I was so depressed because I was so in love with her and she even liked me too. That isnt that amazing but seeing as how she wanted to wait until marriage and then I just felt that she was pregnant kind of startled me. I went for a drive and smoked a whole pack of cigarettes to get over it though. lol
