      Dreams overlapping with reality?

      Have you ever had a dream where something in the dream made a noise that originated from the real world? For example, once I had a dream where a man was going to blow up the world by pressing a big red button (i hate myself for having such cliche dreams), and as he pushed down on it, it just made a click and nothing happened, so he got annoyed and pressed it repeatedly *click click click click*. Then I woke up and the clicking continued. My mom was setting my alarm clock and the buttons were the source of the clicking. My question isn't about why i heard it in my dream (I've heard songs from my ipod in dreams after falling asleep with headphones, i assume its normal), but the fact that the story in my dream lead up perfectly to match the clicking sound is what fascinates me. Did my subconscious predict the near future or what? It's been years since it's happened but it's something I've always wondered about. Has anybody else experienced this?

      ps. sorry if this was the wrong section to post this in!

      Oh, this can happen at times. Dreams that cross-over to Reality. Normally, it seems to be sounds, music, or images from my experience. When this happens i get feelings of "Deja vu" or premonitions. It sometimes really gets strange when you do or sense something in a dream, and then you do it when your awake, and you catch it. Have you had these moments?

      Hey Ashlotte, I understand what you mean very well. I had those often, I think this is what happens.

      Our brain is fast enough to create a whole new scenario the moment it picks up sounds from waking world. I think it often happens when you are about to wake up, you mind is partially awake and you are able to mix things up. It is very likely to recall such dreams for the same reason, you are about to wake up. The reason why our mind makes this, because it gets a new source of incoming information and this changes the dream flow

      I have a memory of a conversation I had with an old friend, that after years of being forgotten, I had to wonder if it was a dream. Its an odd feeling.

      I have also experienced this phenomenon. Once, I dreamt that I was looking at a calendar and then suddenly heard a loud buzzing noise. When I woke up, I realized that it was the dryer buzzing downstairs. I have also witnessed the eerie precognition aspect of this. On road trips when I have dozed off, I often have short dreams involving cars on the road. Suddenly, a car ahead will break and I will wake up to our own car slowing down. I believe that the brain knows portions of future events and mixes them with past events and "made-up" events to form dreams.

      I've experienced this a few times myself. It is interesting how a whole scenario is created around the noise, even before it actually happens. My guess on why this occurs would be that the future is not a set thing, but a set of probabilities, some being more likely than others. The brain, being its own super computer, can pick up on this, and predict the most probable event. So your brain creates a scenario before the noise, such as your mother setting your alarm clock; that was the most probable thing to happen, and your brain predicted it and so you dreamed of something involving that noise. Does that make sense?

      the water recalled her life
      as rain.

      It can be so, especially if those events repeat day after day. You are getting used to them and your unconscious mind is expecting them with high probability. You don't even need to get info from future, if that happens often enough, you can just get a lucky hit. I am having false awakenings very often and I remember how many times I woke up again and again and wanted to know what happens when I really wake up. I found my self among the most probable scenarios.
