I have a very long history of emotional abuse from family and relationships. Before my youngest daughter's father I used to dream regularly but nothing crazy and I'd always get strong feeling of deja vu after. During the peak of the abuse I stopped dreaming all together and it never really came back, until recently. (Stopped 8 years ago) Anyone I've ever brought this up to thinks I'm crazy.

Back in the day when I experimented with MDMA I dealt with alot of sleep paralysis, vivid and lucid dreaming but none that caused deja vu. For a long time I was afraid to sleep because of what I was dreaming because of history of psychic dreams. That stopped after starting 5htp for depression (currently taking no medication).

I started researching spirituality, meditation and yoga and now the dreams are back but few and far between. They're just extremely clear now. Sometimes all it is, is a feeling though and not a vision( not sure how else to explain it) when I get them I usually know that it's something I should worry about. All this is usually tied to a "gut instinct" that over the past 10 years has never been wrong. To the point where I make stupid accusations with no proof that end up true.

I know this is more a psych site but mines kind of mixed together as psych and spiritual but it's first forum I found with dream topic with some related posts.

Has anyone has any experiences like this at all?

Sorry if this is inappropriate, feel free to delete if so.

Hi,
The subconscious creates our dreams to keep us alive during sleep. dreams are dreamt to wke you up when you had enough sleep, need to be woken for some other reasons that intrude into sleep, to make you change sleeping positions, to preserve the sleep when something irritating would wake up and generally to control your life while you sleep.
Spiritual dreaming, lucid dreaming and othern mumbo-jombo are all based on ignorance about the real nature of the subconscious. It does not give a jot about what's going to happen tomorrow or any de-ja-vou.
Drugs, medicines and the state of your health has an impact on how you dream. Especially regarding violence or vividness.
The dreaming content, violence, vividity, strangeness and other unusual features closely follow your state of health and general well being during sleep.

Why would you even make a comment if you don't believe in any of it? Seriously..Go waste your time elsewhere. I'm a strong believer in alot spiritual stuff. Just because you aren't doesn't mean you have to say it's ignorance

Hi,
You asked for an opinion orinterpretation and I gave you an open, honest reply.
After studying dreaming and consciousness for a very long time, I can definitely tell you that dreaming is a control system that keeps you and everybody else alive while we sleep.
You can take it or leave it, however soon there will be big shift from the spiritual mumbo - jumbo to a more objective observation that dreaming is a very important part of life. More like a computer control system than anyone ever thought.

These are all opinions, not fact.

Jnmiller, I have occasionally had what could be called 'psychic dreams.' Dreamt of a place that I'd never been to before the dream, then ended up having some kind of significant life event happen in the place.

So, I do believe that there are all kinds of dreams, including psychic ones, but I kind of choose not to study my dreams too much because frankly, I don't want to have psychic dreams...they freak me out.

I've had intuition dreams before where something told me to stay away from someone because they did not have good intentions. It turned out the dream was right.
