...Wednesday, I woke and discovered that "Kermit" was written in the palm of left hand... (as some of you already know)

I had a dream once every year from when I was say, 6-11. I would be in a carnival and there'd be some guy wearing a jacket hiding or sneaking from something. Then I'd see a clown and a weird voice would say: "0. 0 survivors. 0 percent. Nothing. 0." And then there'd be people trying to swim through dirt but failing. Every time I'd have that dream I'd be freaked out.

Its a tie...

I sometimes get a compulsion to visit people I haven't seen in a long time or do something uncharacteristically nice for someone I know. Within a week or two...that person dies. It's happened about 5 times that I remember. Only one of those five was seriously ill. The rest died completely unexpectedly from a heart attack, motorcycle accident, drowning, and an aneurism respectively. My mom says I always did put a lot of importance in saying goodbye.

My friends an I stayed at what was supposedly a haunted house (former japanese hospital from WWII) for summer break. That night while we were chilling, I black out. Next thing I know I have a knife to my friend's throat (tiny trickle of blood) and my other friends are trying to get the knife out of my hand. I was fully conscious by then but still couldn't bring myself to let go of the knife for a few more minutes. We moved to another house that same night.

I am NOT crazy!!!

Yesterday I saw a man with a parrot on his shoulder.

A pirate, I presumed. ;)

I saw a guy in Plumstead high street once. He walked past me and his eyes were pools of light. Brighter than the sun. I thought I'd seen the Devil, or an Angel. He had a huge grin on his face. Then he was gone.

And I hadn't been under the influence of illegal substances. Since the night before at any rate.

Thug... You've got deviles in your eyes. I can see them. If you can't that's probably because you've got devils in your eyes.

sorry for the spam. please continue with the topic ;-)

I aam serious as a heart attack. All the time. My girlfriend asks me why I jerk my head around and stare blankly into the shadows. Its because I can see them, thedemons. Lurking about, waiting for their moment to strike.

Also, I have the spirit of a demon within me.

@jae: I just hoped that this topic will stay spam free since I thought it was quite interesting... guess I was wrong. Just to try to keep it on topic I'll tell my story :) :

There are very few dreams I remember. Actually I can only think of one right now. I dreamt it when I was about 4 or 5 years old. I was living in a small apartament (about 50 square meters) on the tenth floor at the time. In my dream I noticed a door which I've never seen before. Right in the middle of the wall of the living room. After I open it I noticed there was a big lawn with green grass (not the the grass can be any other color, but now that I think back, it seems to me that the grass was exceptionally bright. I didn't notice this in the dream though) on the other side (note: In reallity I live on the tenth floor). Since the weather was warm I was walking barefooted. Suddently I stepped into something extremely hot. After I jump away I notice it's seems to be some sort of a metal pipe conected to a hose, which is connected to an orange truck. A man is standing next to this truck. After I ask him what the pipe connected to the hose is for, he replies "It keeps the grass warm. The grass would feel very cold if I were not keeping it warm." At this point I wake up.
The weird part is that when I was about 4-5 I used to have the same dream a couple of times a month. Then one day I just stopped having it. I still remember it though... and what's funny is that I remember so many details.. I don't think I remember anything else from when I was at this age (dream or reality).

When I was 18, I had a dream of my family and I going to see return of the Jedi in an large theater. It was very ornamental, a nice balcony, eerie red lights lining the aisles on the ground, big buddha statues set in alcoves high up in the wall. Four days later I visited the Oriental Theatre in Milwaukee,WI with some friends to see 'the adventures of baron munchasen.' The Oriental was the theater I dreamt of and I had never been there.

One mid week morning, around 4am, my phone rang. By the time I got to it, it had rung off. I dialled the number to get the last caller details and noted the number - I vaguely recognised it. I found my mobile and searched the directory, it was my sister's new mobile number. Concerned that something was wrong, I called her back, but my call was cut off. Even more concerned I called her again. This time she answered, asking me why the hell I was calling her at 4am. When I reminded her that she had called me first, she became really confused.

To shorten the story. The next day, she went through her received calls list on her mobile and found my number there, preceded by another sisters number (just before 4am)

Here is how it went.

Sister #2's phone called sister #1's phone at just before 4am. The partner of sister #1 thought it was the alarm going off and when trying to hit snooze hit last number redial. As a result, Sister #1 called my home at 4am

*takes breath*

I call sister #1 - again my call is thought to be an alarm, call cut off. I call back. The second time she answered my call (by this time it is the third time her phone has rung).

The next morning, having worked out the series of events, we confronted sister #2 (who incidentally was staying with sister #1) and asked her what she was doing calling sister #1 not only at 4am, but when she was also in the same house. Sister #2 proved that her phone was actually nowhere near her at that time, in fact it was in another room.

We then asked mum's spirit to stop haunting us :eek: ;)

I forgot to mention, in the log of the phone of sister #2, nothing showed as her having called sister #1 *eek*

I get these dreams all of the time, other then my normal dreams, and they all involve future events and they all happen, unfortunately they almost always involve something stupid, so sorry no lotter numbers.
"In Germany, they first came for the Communists, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Communist. Then they came for the Jews, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Jew. Then they came for the trade unionists, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a trade unionist. Then they came for the homosexuals and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a homosexual. Then they came for the Catholics, and I didn't speak up because I was a protestant. Then they came for me--but by that time there was no one left to speak up."

And a heaven in a wild flower,
Hold infinity in the palm of your hand
And eternity in an hour.
