I so belong here. I still need to go back and read everyone else's, but I have been plagued and blessed by my dreams since I was probably 3.
My dreams are very vivid. When I was little I had flying dreams (OK...still do, but this is kind of the beginning of my story
). One night I was flying around and thought I would cruise on up to my mom's room...I was flying through the stairwell (this was well before I discovered I could fly through the walls) and I heard my mom talking to my grandma, at first I was thinking I should go back to my room because I thought my mom would be mad at me for flying. But I went in anyway and was relieved to see that they weren't noticing me. I can't remember now what they were talking about, but I do believe it was rather mundane, day to day type stuff. So after a bit I went back to my room and hovered over my bed. I had a canopy and was kind of freaking out about how to get back in it, because I wasn't maneuvering as well as I would have liked, then all of a sudden I lost ALL control and fell right through the canopy and into my bed and woke up...my bed was bouncing. Freaked my 5 year old 
out!
I told my mom about my "dream" and she told me that she had been talking to grandma on the phone that night.
That was my first of hundreds of out of body experiences. There had been other flying dreams, but nothing real time like. Since then my dreams have been both spectacular and/or horrifying. I used to have a lot of nightmares. Not so much anymore, but every now and then. I have also had premonition dreams. I dreamed about the bird flu a year before the outbreak, I dreamed about Mt. St. Helen's becoming active again days before.
My husband just really doesn't care to hear about them anymore.
I understand, though...he's been listening to me talk about them for a really long time now (20 years) and just thinks it's normal when I dream something I find incredible. It's really hard for me to NOT tell him. He doesn't remember most of his dreams, so he just doesn't get how big of a part of my life this is.
