This is my first time I've been to this site and I truly looked around for over 2 hours now and I'm seeing what you are talking about Seeker. I never realized how abnormal I am. I'm 26 almost 27 I don't know what you would call it but I could seperate from my body and have the feeling of floating and then walking around unseen by the time I was I think 7. I quit doing it because exiting and reentering my body started scaring my after I turned 18. I still do it unwanting to sometimes but I panic and make myself wake up. As for my overly vivid dreams they started at about the same time(age 7) but not very often. As I got older they got more and more often. Now at almost 27 I'm plagued by them. I wish I could tell everyone how I do it but in my case I'm clueless. I didn't know until today it was that big a deal. I came online today trying to figure out why I sleep so much and am still so tired. I never imagined it was because of the way I dream. Now that I know I'd like to find the off switch. I'm will to answer any question about my experiences but I am by no means an expert.
