I found out about this about a month ago and managed to get one.

It's called Lucid Dreaming.

Definition from dictionary.com: characterized by clear perception or understanding; rational or sane: a lucid moment in his madness.

Basically, it's a dream that you have control of, so you can do whatever the heck you want to do in it, with no laws or rules, official or unofficial.

It is learnable, you just need to increase your dream recall, so if you keep a dream journal next to your bed and write every dream in it that you have, this should be pretty easy to do.

There are several methods to induce it.

But you'll just have to experience it yourself.

Am I the only one who notices how generic such "future-sight" seems to be?

"OMG! this was in a dream!"

"what was in a dream?"

"Well, I had a dream that I was waiting for a bus, and it was raining!"

"umm- we're in line at a fairground... I don't see the similarity... and it's sunny..."

"But we're WAITING! I knew this was going to happen! I CAN SEE THE FUTURE."

"So can I. I predict you are going to have a headache very soon."
