Nature Of Dreaming The Future

I dream the future. It's been happening all my life. When I dream things, I dream things anywhere from 6 months to 5 years in advance. Most often, though, the things I dream happen two years after the dream. Interestingly enough, I've gone to psychics before who, after reading my tarot cards, pronounced that everything would happen within the next two months. It didn't but two years later it is now happening. I wonder if I'm on a different 'time frame' than other people?

I have lately been remembering experiences that happened to me when I was very young. I used to tell people my first psychic dream was at 13 but now I realize that isn't true. I can remember a psychic dream from when I was 6! In the dream, I was with my cousin and we were traveling to somewhere. We stopped at a mall or a store and while there we saw a Mime who mimicked us. We laughed hilariously! Flash forward about half a year later and it really happened! I remember after the event wanting to tell someone that I had dreamed this but I was afraid people would laugh at me so I never did. Then I promptly forgot it.

When I have psychic dreams, I often experience another person's reality as if it were my own! I feel their emotions and I know their thoughts. It gets pretty confusing and there have been many times when I wasn't entirely sure if the events were about me or someone else! For instance, a couple of years ago, I dreamt that I walked into a department store where a women I used to go to school with worked. Yet, in the dream, I didn't realize she was there. I had a friend and children with me. I remember in the dream that I had a serious drug problem and was very promiscuous. I was also a bad mother. When I woke from the dream, I remember my heart pounding. I honestly could not see myself doing the things I had done in my dream. However, that I had experienced those things, via my dream, there was no question. I had some very serious doubts about my own morality and worldviews. Could I even trust myself? I'm not a mother but I worried that the dream might mean that I would neglect my (future) children and abuse drugs. How could I tell? Yesterday, as I worked at my part time job, the department store, in walked a girl I used to go to high school with. She didn't see me but I saw her. As soon as I saw her, I breathed a huge sigh of relief because I knew instantly it was her reality I had seen and experienced. Whew! Not mine.

Today, I've been thinking, and it shouldn't be so hard to tell if a precognitive dream is about me or is me experiencing another person's reality. After all, I'm not about to change and become a different person overnight. I'm not going to suddenly start doing things I would never normally do. My ethical nature isn't going to change. Yet, so often, I do get confused about whether these things are happening to me or to someone else. Oftentimes, the only answers I get are when the dreams happen and then I know it wasn't me.

A couple of years ago, I had a series of dreams about a person I worked with. I was friendly with the person at the time. When I had the dreams, I experienced them from her perspective. Again, I didn't know if the dreams were about me or me experiencing her reality. Yet, I eventually figured out that the dreams were not about me because many of them started coming true. I could see for myself who the principal actor in my dreams had been and it wasn't me. They are still coming true, by the way, - everyday. I know terrible things about this person. Things they have done or said (and that no one would believe me if I told them) - I have long since moved past questions about what I should do with this information. I've spent three years suffering from mental and emotional torture over if the things I saw happening to this person were me or not & if they were not about me is there something I should do. I'm at peace now.

I've also come to peace with the fact that I dream the future. I see intimate details about a person's life, sometimes complete strangers. Oftentimes, my privileged information has given me insights into a person's ethical nature. I've learned, the hard way, to not ignore my intuition or dreams. It's been a long, hard road though, getting to this point. I've felt painfully different most of my life.

I suppose I'm posting this story to share but also because I'm curious. I've read many stories on this site about people who dream the future. I'm honestly curious about the nature of other people's psychic dreams: Do you experience them as if you are living someone else's reality? Yes? No? How are your experiences different or similar? Does anyone else get confused at times who they are in their dreams? Are you yourself or are you living someone else's life and how do you tell the difference?
