I know this sounds weird. But once, I dreamed that my best friend was crying. I asked about it a few days later, and she said she did that very same night! And then a few nights ago, I had two strange dreams. I told my boyfriend about them, and he was shocked. I had looked into his past, twice. What does this mean? And why now?

That makes sense. While sleeping, your psychic reception become unburdened by your barrier of a body. Doesn't seem weird at all smile
As for what it means and why now, there are a million and one reasons it could be. I would suggest maybe you are supposed to be inquisitive as to your boyfriend's past, and extraordinarily compassionate towards your crying friend, but those are just a couple out of a million. Maybe you're even supposed to gain an interest in this ability and try to develop it further.
I'm interested to know how this developes though.

Thanks for the input. Perhaps you are right, maybe I should try to develop it further. Since those dreams, I have been keeping a dream journal. This way I can compare them when one keeps ocurring.

I used to keep a dream journal when I first realized that I was having weird dreams, some of which seemed to relate to life in different ways (for example, I once dreamt that I left something behind while running to get on a train, and that day I forgot my binder with all my notes in it at home because I had to run to catch the school bus. sweatdrop ). So yeah, it's not unusual at all.
Of course, I don't even know where my dream journal is now because I either didn't have time to write my dreams down or I forgot them, so I stopped using it. Anyone have any ideas on how to maintain a schedule of writing down dreams? How to keep that journal handy instead of forgetting and leaving it?

Try writing them down as soon as you wake up. I usually remember mine, so I write them before I go to bed. Sometimes it's a couple of days before they get written down though, because I get busy and forget. Coming up with a schedule would be helpful. biggrin Any ideas as to how I could try to develop this ability further?

I don't know if this works for everybody, but try making yourself have more dreams. When I want to do this, I will take a nap and set my alarm to wake me up much earlier than I would ever want to, and then for about the next hour, just keep hitting snooze. In between each snooze button, I find a flurry of dreams waiting for me. Making myself sleep-in also does this for me.
Sometimes, while drifting asleep, I will ask my subconscious a question, or I will ask it to show me something. It only works about 1/3 of the time for me, but I do get results. I find that the stronger sense of purpose I have while falling asleep, the more likely I am to dream of it.
Also, since dreams are so similar to visions, you could try meditating to enduce visions. In between these meditations, you could sharpen your mind's eye by imagining a scene, and bring every tiny detail into vibrance. This might help to sharpen your mind's ability to express details in your dreams.

Do those dreams between hitting the snooze button count? :O
I often have half-dreams, where I am in between sleep and awake, where random thoughts will form in my mind and seem to form on their own, yet I can mold them (and often do, I don't know if I would be able to let them form on their own without unconsciously changing them by my will...if that makes sense...) I can mold them and even though they started out thoughts that came to me they end up thoughts that I created. Do those count as dreams with meaning? As visions? (or just the part that came to me first, without the added-by-me part?)

I believe that dreams, of which the purpose is to convey a message, portray a message through symbols regardless how much control you have over it. Your decision to manifest changes in your dream might even be part of the message. For example, what you manifest, why you manifest it, and how you use it could all be a message to you about yourself.
I believe some dreams are just our mind exploring other planes, not necessarily conveying a message. In the cases where you have your abstract thoughts forming into pictures and sounds, or even in the case of a lucid dream, I theorize we are exploring our astral space.
Random thought: Anyone else think the only difference between the world of being awake and dreams is that our awakeness has consistency?

Good ideas Viscerim. Thank you. As for your random thought, when you really think about it, consistency does seem to be the only difference. Certainly a very good question to ask. It makes you think.
