I have a dream

Always wondered why I can somehow "see" into the future with random dreams.

People call it deja vu, and sometimes it just freaks me out.
Other times, it just suddenly dawns upon me that I've dreamt of this situation before and the realisation of it just settles smoothly into the normal circumstance of things.

Thing is, I don't really know when my "visions" are going to be real and when they aren't. So picture a nightmarish dream that has me waking up in cold sweat. And imagine the paranoia and the resultant obsessing over whether it could actually come true in the future.

Sometimes I laugh off the absurdity of it all with someone else but if it does eventually come true, then I start to ponder.

Pondering what happened back then when I laughed at it.
Pondering the differences between back then and now.
Pondering what became of me since then.
And of course, pondering the now-settled shock/surprise of it actually happening.

Maybe I should learn how to harness this "prophetic ability" and go on to greater things.
