Over the course of my life I've had what I like to call "realistic" dreams. They happen in two different sequences.
In one my eyes are awake and I can hold a conversation, but when I wake up I think it was all a dream. ex When I was about 10 someone was knocking on our front door at about 11 p.m. or so. I woke up to the sound, saw my room, but the knocking to me was coming from a shadow figure outside my 2nd floor window. I screamed. My mother told me to calm down and she went downstairs to answer the door. All the while I was still seeing this shadow in my window. I closed my eyes and literally woke up because it was no longer there.

In the second my dreams "predict" the future to some closeness of extent. When I was 16 I had a dream about a kiss (my first) and the next night I got it in almost the same matter. When I was 21 I had a dream my mom would be in and out of the hospital. About a month later she had surgery which resulted in other diagnosis' and for the next year she was in and out of the hospital. Some of these dreams wake up me because what I'm experiencing feels so real.

Any help into explanations as to why or what is happening.
