Hi Rypey,

My advice is that you get a notebook that will be only for recording your visions (and maybe other remarkable experiences as well).  Write the date, day, time, and what you were doing when you had the vision, write down details of what you experienced, and then what (if any) feelings or thoughts you have about it.  If later something happens during the course of your day that seems to have some uncanny coincidence to your vision, then make a note of that experience too.

This is a great way to learn how your perception works.  And if you are having visions foretelling something, then you’ll have a great record of what you perceived before the event. 

I think when it comes to visions (or dreams) that seem so real but don’t seem to have meaning in the real world, it could be that what you saw wasn’t something that you could understand, so you subconsciously ended up interpreting it into something that you could make some sense out of.  That’s just a theory.  I use that same theory on dreams that I have which seem to make sense while I’m in the dream, but then when I wake up there’s just no way for me to translate into words what I was dreaming about. 

As for who has visions and why they have them, I think there are too many different answers for those questions.  I rarely have visions anymore but growing up I had them often.  They were always foretelling an event that was about to happen, and I’d usually get it just a few moments or minutes before the event took place.  As I got older I noticed that sometimes my visions would come much sooner, like hours before the event took place.  And then it became that I could receive something months before it took place.  So I was noticing this ability evolving over time.  Then I noticed that I could receive information in other forms than just visions. When I was a teenager I had the most vivid dreams, and when I was in my 20s I had psychic dreams.  I guess this kind of stuff is always evolving for us as our knowledge and beliefs evolve.
