I've had a few dreams that have been amazingly vivid and real. Some of the details on them are fuzzy in my memory years later, but the realness of them is still there to this day.
When I was in College, I had a friend named John who was in a wheelchair, paralyzed from the waist down from a gymnastics accident when he was younger. One night I dreamed about him.... I dreamed I was at the McDonalds where we often hung out (there weren't a lot of choices) and I saw him walk in. I was astonished and ran up to him and hugged him and said what a miracle it was. It felt extremely real...but I "woke up" and found myself not at McD's, but in one of our classes...and he walked in. Again, I jumped up and ran to him, this time exclaiming about this really weird dream I'd had showing him healed and there he was, all healed! I "woke up" again to another scenario just like the first two and it repeated all over again. And then I finally woke up...I was laying in bed in my own room, staring at the ceiling and thinking how crazy-weird that all was....extremely vivid and emotional. Then there was a knock on the apt door...I got up and went to answer the door...and John was standing there! Needless to say, I was in utter shock and didn't even know what to say to him by that point. Lots of crying and hugging involved. ...And then I woke up for real.
So far as I know, John's still in his wheel chair...he's from Zimbabwe, so we haven't been in touch for about 20 years. That was my most memorable and one of my most vivid dreams ever.
I also have a recurring theme dream....where I'm in a new house that we just moved into...or, I'm in the house that we currently live in...and I find a secret door that I'd never noticed before and it leads to whole new sections of the house that I never knew existed....big, grand rooms and fancy kitchens and beautiful furniture. Every single time this happens, I say to myself in the dream.... "Here we go again...it's one of those dreams. I have to be dreaming, right? Stuff like this never happens in real life." But it all becomes so vivid and detailed that I convince myself that I'm really not dreaming this time.... And then I wake up....
I'm weird...I know...
