Dream/Reality Synthesis, Interaction,

Earlier this morning I took short nap(great for lucid dreams). While I was in my bedroom, my mother and grandmother were having a conversation in my living room, that was barely audible through the wall. As they were talking I fell asleep and experienced a few dreams, some lucid, some not. In one of the dreams I was sitting on the couch across from my mother and grandmother and they were talking about very specific events with very specific details. In the dream I interacted and conversed with them freely. Upon waking I couldnt immediately recall this dream until about an hour later when my mom says "grandma was telling me some crazy stuff about such and such before". I replied with "what? do you mean before when we were all out here talking about blah blah". She was very confused because I knew so many subtle details about their private conversation they had while I was sleeping in another room. It then registered in my mind that I was dreaming exactly what had really taken place earlier on although I was not present. Im not sure if I just dreamt a visual and somehow completely heard everything that was said in another room while sleeping. But then how did I interact in the conversation? If anyone cares to shed some light on this feel free haha Im Boggled.

Fun, isn't it? I've never had it happen with someone in the same house, but I do seem to visit events in other people's lives even at long distances, and then later hear the details and am surprised how they match up! I also have had things like seeing my sons during their teens partying with friends in my woods, and they're floating up above the trees, and I know they really were partying and getting high. Or I dreamt about a big fight my ex had with his second wife once, and then sometimes later, my son told me they'd been to Martha's Vineyard for my ex's birthday, and got into a big fight, because she left him alone in their room for hours, and went off with the friends they'd gone there with... and it all matched details in my dream. So yeah, it happens. It happens to a lot of people, though here, you're going to run into a lot of skeptics. Don't let them get you down!

Doesn't have to be anything metaphysical. Your brain/mind is a supercomputer, it would have no problem mixing in sounds it hears while you are napping into a seemingly coherent dream conversation.

Yeah thats what im going with, either way it was really interesting.

I have also had experiences where my other sences were intermingled with dream and reality. Most commonly when I would fall off my bed I would be dreaming I was falling off something and when I would hit the ground in both worlds I would wake up immediately.

Like an alarm clock. When you dream and you hear an alarm clock you somehow "know" it's not from the dream, atleast that is what happened to me last year.
