Dreams have always been a major interest of mine. Ever since I was a child I have always had crazy dreams and was intrigued by there meaning. My dreams were always so vivid and magical. I have had several precognitive dreams in which I had dreamt of events that had not yet happened during wakeing reality. I have had dreams of alien contact. I have even communicated with deceased relatives. Most of my dream experiences seem more real than waking reality. My desire to understand my dreams has pushed me into studying into lucid dreaming and astral projection. I'm reading carl jungs books on dreaming currently. I have a interest in the similarities of mystical experiences to ufo experiences,lucid dreaming,sleep paralysis and astral projection. I actively dream journal. I have recently thought about going back to school to get into some sort of field involving dreaming. But enough about me what I want to hear is about your experiences with dreaming,lucid dreaming,astral projection ,ufo experiences or mystical related dreams. I will share as much as I can with you and I hope you do the same :^)

Ended up being kinda long. But you did say you wanted me to share as much as I could.
Precognitive dreaming. Have it. Was just mentioning it earlier in the Deja Vu thread. Completely different feeling from Deja Vu. Deja Vu just feels like I've done it before, like I do something and pause and am like "Haven't I done this before?". The dreams the events start to happen and then I flash back to the dream and then for 10-20 seconds I know exactly what is about to happen. Word for word sentences spoken, movements of people or objects, etc.
I also suffer from sleep paralysis. I guess it's sort of like dreaming. I mean you're awake but asleep at the same time. Everything that's possible in the sleeping world is possible in the waking world. Including demons standing above you ready to do you harm or trying to suck your soul from your body or whatever the fuck it is they're trying to do that has me so terrified. I finally managed to break free from the paralysis on my own the last time I had it. I usually just sit there in terror from anywhere between 5 minutes and half an hour unable to move or "wake up". Then I fall back asleep. Last time however, I was able to break free before just falling back asleep. I fought and fought and eventually lifted my arm, then was able to move my head. After that I just rolled over and went back to sleep.
I don't really like dreaming. Ever since my brother was killed, 75% of my dreams are nightmares. All with VERY strong emotional ties. I carry those ties with me when I wake up, and throughout most of the day. If I dreamed my wife left me, that entire day I'll live through the despair and depression and even anger, as if she actually had left me. Lately, my dreams are becoming a lot more vivid, I think because I'm in the process of quitting alcohol. I liked it better when I could only remember maybe a fifth of my dreams. I'm starting to remember them all, and like I said, 75% are nightmares with strong emotional ties. It's not like I'm just watching a movie or whatever like pleasant dreams are, it's like it's really happening and I feel everything I would as if it were. The fear, the despair, just everything. I guess the plus side is the majority of the remaining 25% are sex dreams, and again, I feel everything. 
I've only ever had one lucid dream, I was a kid at the time so I didn't take much advantage of it. I had become a vampire that could fly. My control of the dream was pretty much just me flying around and beating the shit out of people (had a bad childhood ). It was pretty comparable to what you do on Grand Theft Auto when you just get bored of missions or what not. Except I was a vampire and not a criminal. And I could fly. I've had one OBE while "dreaming" as well.. I was very sick at the time and had fell asleep, and then I was a floating, just all throughout my house, but was still connected to my body somehow. Was a very hard to describe experience. I've always wanted it to happen again. It was just an incredible experience, unlike anything I've ever felt or encountered since.
Needless to say, my experience with sleep and dreaming varies greatly.

With my face against the floor I can’t see who knocked me out of the way. I don’t want to get back up but I have to so it might as well be today. Nothing appeals to me no one feels like me, I’m too busy being calm to disappear. I’m in no shape to be alone contrary to the shit that you might hear. You can't wake up, this is not a dream. You're part of a machine, you are not a human being With your face all made up, living on a screen. Low on self esteem, so you run on gasoline
