re: Have you ever had a dream that felt SO real, you were convinced it happened

I once had a dream that I was possessed by a demon. It was way to real. I was outside of some great cathedral, surrounded by monks and priests and others, all who were praying and throwing holy water on me. I was laying on the steps of the cathedral, twisting and turning and growling. My wife woke me up, saying I was kicking around and growling. Scared the hell out of her. Scared the hell out of me.

When I was a teenager I had this pretty intense, recurring dream that I was in combat against the Germans in France. It was with the First Infantry Division because I could see the "Big Red One" patch on fellow soldiers. I had a BAR and was firing on some krauts from a blown-out building in some village...small scale street fighting. I would then have a couple of rounds hit close by my head and that's what made me wake up. My grandmother said it was a memory from a past life. Haven't had that dream in over 20 years.
