Wierd theories/supernatural happenings thread

Hey, I thought I would make up a thread where people could post about wierd supernatural happenings in their life, and wierd theories, if they had any.
As I've expressed here before, I've come in contact with a few supernatural situations in my life, and with the encounters I've experienced, I certainly believe that there are strange, unexplainable forces out there beyond human comprehension.
For example, I've had some prophetic dreams that have actually been fulfilled in some way of the other. To list them all would take too long, but I'll give you an example of one of them. When I was a wee lad, I came down with a fever several times, and as a result had incomprehensibly terrifying fever dreams. They were so frightening that I can't really explain them, you'd have to experience them for yourself, and believe me, you wouldn't want to! From what I remember of them, they were almost Lovecraftian-like, in a way. Anyway, when I had my final one of these terrifying dreams (I was about the age of six, if I remember right) in the dream, a figure in a purple robe appeared to me and told me to come with him. I couldn't see the figure's face because it was shrouded within the cowl of his robe. He extended his bone-white, long fingernailed hand to me, telling me not to be afraid and I took it, and the next thing I knew him and I were sailing through the cosmos at an overwhelming speed. We then came to an abrupt halt. Ahead of me, among a field of stars and cosmic blackness, I saw a red, spiral shaped nebula. Emanating from the nebula was these bloodcurdling, demonic-sounding screams and curses. And before the nebula, floating in space, were a dozen purple-robed figures who looked just like the one I was with. They were facing the nebula and moving their hands in arcane gestures and chanting. The being that was with me, told me that these were his brethren, and they were the guardians of the universe, and that we were at the edge of the universe. And he then told me something that sent a black chill through me. He said that, imprisoned within that nebula is a demon of hideous and evil power, and it is screaming to get out. He translated the foul language of the fiend's words and told me that it said that one day it would escape its intergalactic prison and come for me, and that it would destroy me. The being then said that him and his brethren had bound the demon within the nebula and were chanting incantaions/runes that would keep it imprisoned. But he said that, though they are immortal, and though they are trying the best they can, that one day, the demon will break the seal and destroy the guardians. "This" he said, "Is inevitable." But he told me that there was hope, however. He said I had the power within me to take up the mantle of the warrior, and defeat this demon, and send it back into the depths of the abyss from whence it came. I totally forgot about this dream for the next six years, until, at the age of 12, I was struck down with obsessive compulsive disorder. I remember the day it struck. In my mind's eye, I could see the nebula destroyed in an explosion of unholy green fire, and out of it came a horrible, twisted, demonic being of proportions so monolithic I can't even explain to you. I saw him destroy the guardians, and in his dying breath, the chief guardian told me that the universe this was taking place in was the universe of my mind, and that I must take up the mantle of the guardians and fight and destroy this beast at all costs.
Now I know what the vision meant, the demon is my obsessive compulsive disorder, and I must battle it to keep in control of my life. And with help from God, my family, my friends, my psychologist, therapy, and medicine I'm slowly but surely gaining ground in this battle.
Okay, that was one of my wierd supernatural experiences, now here's a wierd theory I've had occur in my mind more than a couple of times: What if the existence we seem to be living here on earth is all a dream, and we wake up in a completely alien reality to find that we have only been sleeping for one hour, and it seems to us that we've lived a whole life. Or, an even more disturbing thought, what if we are all part of one big entity's dream, and that's the only reason we exist? These theories have come to me before and I usually explain them away as ramblings of the human mind. But are they?!! ;)

Now, does anyone here have any wierd supernatural experiences or theories that can top mine? :p

A buddy of mine enjoys learning odd theories. There are many of them, most of them simply science. However, there is one with a bit of a supernatural feel to it. According to this theory, we were all once psychics in terms of having telekenetic abilities. We still have those urges to use our powers that we have long lost. For example, when someone or something is falling, no matter how far away it may be, we reach out for it. This is supposed to be an instictive reaction that we are trying to pull it back right.

Personally, I have never had any weird experiences other than the usual sleepwalking. The interesting thing about my sleepwalking was that I did it for years, and each and every time, I was being lead around the house by Casper and Hot Stuff! :p
