Chip – how do I put my picture on this thing?

I used to deja vu all the time – to the point of absolute weirdness… And I used to dream of falling off of a cliff, usually with Chip running along beside me, and I always hit the bottom – waking up breathless and scared out of my wits – so all the shrinks that say you die if you hit the bottom are not correct, unless of course, I am really dead.

Thanks, Tracy. I remember when I was child that my dreams were always third-person perspective. I could see myself acting in them. Then one particular dream when I was eight years old was my first through my own eyes, and it was terrifying.

A perplexing phenomenon when I was growing up was the sensation that I had already been to a location or met someone when I hadn’t. It was more or less a product of the fact that my family loved pictures and telling stories.
I also seem to recall early events in my life from a third party perspective instead of through my own eyes – even events that my dad wasn’t incessantly recording.

Great story – thanks for sharing!

I’m glad you remembered this incident, too, Roanna. Being such an old memory that had been almost brainwashed out of me, I wanted to know that I wasn’t making up images in my head. But I can still see him like it was yesterday.

Yes, Roanna, we often dreamed the same dreams, and we were both in them. Then we would wake up and talk about the shared dream. I think that stopped about the time we got separate rooms. I often miss those days.

Uncle Dan was sitting on the porch.
I saw him, too. We were concerned that he
would be mad that we were rummaging around
in the loft. I always saw everything
that Chip saw. Same dreams, too.

Hey folks, thanks for reading all the way to the end of that post. I figured I’d probably bore most readers with my ramblings on perception long before they got to the story at the end.

Thanks on behalf of my wife, Shelley. She’s still got a long way to go, but it’s great to see progress. She actually walked across the room today without a cane, in about two minutes.

OK, that’s just too weird! Somebody cue Rod Serling! Great story, though. I wonder what it was you really saw?
