There's several reasons why my interest has been drawn to the subject of the paranormal, but in thinking about it, is it really paranormal or is it just plain normal.
I know this is a little confusing - I screw myself up all the time getting myself confused over simple matters.
Is it really that those who came up with the terminology were just at a loss for words and made it up on the spot one day after witnessing or experiencing an event that may have been totally normal?
I have mentioned before one of the reasons of being interested in this area is because of the voices that I and at least one other friend heard one night in a cemetery when we were teens. Another reason I have remained silent about is because it involves fortune telling or seeing into the future or what ever you want to call it, I personally experienced it and I will tell you honestly that this did happen to me and scared the holy XXXCENSOREDXXX out of me when it happened!
The basic's on what happened are like this - I will shorten the story to save you time (and my fingers):
Back in 1977 while I was in the Army, I was transfered from my unit that I was stationed with in Korea to Ft Myers Virginia - it's located right across the wall from Arlington National Cemetery (where you see the President lay that round flow thing at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldiers). I took a month leave after returning from Korea (with my new wife) before reporting to Virginia. After the leave, on the night of the first day of travel - I drove across country - we stopped for the night in Needles California (not far from the border). After falling asleep from the 12 hours of driving I went into a deep sleep, I thought this happened because of the exhaustion of the long drive and the headaches I got from my daughter asking what's this and that the whole way down from the San Francisco Bay Area. I guess I started dreaming and there is only one part that was really vivid - it was more real than anything else - and the detail was so clear and sharp that it remained in my memory for all this time. When I think of it, it seems like it happened only yesterday.
During this dream, I was in my Army Uniform and I was with 2 other guys - also in uniform - and we were in a building and traveling down on an escalator. When we reached the bottom one guy told me he would be in the room next door to the one I was going into and the 3rd was going to the bathroom.
I don't know how long I was in that room I went into but when I came out I was in the hall again and was met shortly by the one that went into the next room. I asked about the 3rd guy and the 2nd told me he was still in the bathroom. I then started down the hall when the 3rd guy walked out the door. I then immediately replied "oh there you are, we thought you fell in or something" and we all laughed and started walking.
This is when I woke up the next morning.
To speed this up, after arrival at Ft Myers and having in-processed into my new unit, I had to be taken to the Finance office because I didn't get payed. A total of 4 of us drove up there in a Military Police Car (did I mention I used to be a MP? LOL) and when we got to the Finance Building, one went upstairs and the rest went down to the finance section - yup.. you guessed it, 3 of us on an escalator...
Non of this dawned on me till we were about to leave. I went into the pay office to find out why I didn't get paid, one guy went next door to see if they had received his orders (he got promoted and had not received the additonal pay yet) and yup.. the 3rd went to the bathroom...
To speed it up, me and 2 met in the hall, I started walking to the bathroom when the 3rd came out and I said the same thing I said in the dream...
BUT!
This time instead of laughing I instantly froze in the hall - I has stopped so quick and sudden that an Army Captain walked into me. I appologized and the other guys came up asking if I was alright. I asked why and they said I was completely white as a ghost, that ALL of the color had drained from my face and hands. They helped me walk over to a bench where I sat for a few minutes, I didn't answer them till we were back in the MP Sedan on the way back down to our unit.
I don't know if they believed me or not but when the realization of what was taking place and had transpired, it more than knocked me for a loop!
This is not the first time this has happened to me, I don't remember the situations but it had happened at least 3 times that I could remember and the time frame was when I was in my late teens (19) all the way up to my early 30's.
It's never happened again - at least that I can remember...
Damn, I'm lucky if I can remember what I said 5 minutes ago sometimes.. LOL

What you discribe has happened to me more times then I can recall since it has happened all my life. Not just in dreams either but I won't get into that. I will only tell of one to give you an idea and how mine didn't help me out at all...........this time!
I was in bed and was in the stages I guess you would say of wakeing up becauce I had already hit the alarm once (snooze) and rolled back over. But I heard this weird sound like wooh wooh wooh. And I heard explosions one after another and the house and windows shake and rattle and heat on my face. I jumped out of bed ran to the window awake now LOL, looked out and saw nothing. I went to the door and looked outside and saw and heard nothing either. So I turned on the TV wondering if the Exxon plant or one of the other ones close by blew up. And it said nothing about it. So I called a friend of mine to ask her if she heard what I heard? She said she didn't hear anything. So.........thinking I dreamed the whole weird thing I blew it off. The very next morning the whole thing happenings again. But this time it was for real!!! I hear explosions!!! I hear wooh wooh wooh. I jump out of bed and look out the window and see a fire truck in my driveway. I run to the front door and felt the heat on my face. My husbands shop in our back yard was on fire and propane tanks where flying threw the roof!!!!! Luckly it never touched my house. But I ask you............what good did that vision do me? It didn't tell me or show me what was going to explode so I could prevent it.
The only thing I can say about it is that everytime I doubt myself something happens to change my mind. So I just learned to except it and try to figure it out as best I can.

I think that it is. I've known things about people I've never met or just met, only to find out later it was fact ( what their house looks like, personal stuff etc) Its weird, but when I TRY to do it, I can't. I've heard the voice of a friend when she was in need of support, and she hadn't been around me at the time.
I'm certainly not psychic, or I'd be a lottery gazillionaire by now, would have had no use for that nasty divorce in 93 and would have had better luck buying used cars! But some interesting things do happen to us normal people from time to time.

Myself I see things I hear things and I have had what they call dejavu more times than I can count. My children apprently taking after their mother can also see things too.. It was when they were very young and I had though my 14 yr old son had outgrown it until when we first moved back to my homestate of IL we took him to see his great grandparents grave to introduce him sorta since my grandfater died when I was 4 and my grandma when I was 15. Anywho my son comes to me and tells me Grandpa is proud I looked at him and said what do you mean, he says well he thinks I am a very good looking boy and that he is proud that I carry his name. I just said well that very nice and walked away too shocked to speak. Now he knows that his middle name is after his great grandpa but to come to me like that is weird for my kid who immerses himself in video games cartoon and star wars lol... I thought he has lost his ablity he can also see the spirts in the basement. They dont bother us they pretty much stay down there.
My view is all paranormal means is above Normal so if you think about it anything that does not belong could be paranormal. I myself have loved ghost spirts haunted houses and places from a very young age So I feel that I am a very normal person with a very intresting hobby lol.
