Knocking on the Door (Strangely Precognitive) :O (DEILD)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I was having an extrememly lazy day with a huge lie-in. In early afternoon my mum came in and told me I would have to let her in when she got back (our front door is tempermental). I mumbled my assent and went back to sleep.

A while later, I was wandering around my old house, not doing anything in particular, when I heard the door knocking. I remembered what my mum had said earlier, but stayed asleep, assuming my brother was downstairs and he would get the door. The knocking continued, so I went to the door in my dream and opened it. No one was there. I looked round to the left of the door at the living room window. I saw my next-youngest brother peering in.
"Come inside," I said. He didn't seem to hear me, and kept looking at the window and door, thinking what to do. I decided I'd have to wake up and let in whoever was at my real door, as I could still hear knocking.

I went downstairs to find it was in fact the same brother I had dreamt about! Nice coincidence, what are the chances? I have three brothers, and I was expecting it to be my mum, but my dream showed me the real person. Well, one in four I suppose...

I've always thought (or at least hoped) that there were other possible levels of perception than the five senses - maybe only accessible through altered states of consciousness. Maybe an extension of awareness achieved through greater functioning of the five senses. Say for example, you could tell who was at the door based on tiny cause/effect actions started by that person, which eventually reach you. Maybe if you know them, the mind could fill in the blanks. Be it vibrations or whatever. But I'm getting totally off-topic, and of course this dream is in no way a suggestion that such abilities exist, just a fun coincidence! Interesting enough to make you think about it though.
