Hey, I saw my self in a mirror during a dream about 2mth's ago,
I looked as I do now, but younger less stressed/tired! I dream every time I sleep, and experienced a walk in several years ago during a time when i was very depressed and recovering from a serious spinal injury,
I remember waking up, with a figure stepping towards me, i sensed what was happening and remember saying "ok, but don't hurt me" since then my life has turned around and I've got back on track with my career doing fantastic!

1 thing that proves my last theory, is that blind people from birth, don't see in their dreams. Deaf people don't hear. Color blind people don't see color. It's from what you've experienced in this lifetime, that makes your dreams.edit on 13-5-2011 by jessejamesxx because: (no reason given)

yeah i get what you mean....that happens not often about the startled part where i felt like i was falling and i jumped cuz i saw myself falling
let me tell you something, i didn't like that experience at all...i mean i wasn't exactly horrified but knowing that i was talking to my deceased relatives isn't all fun and dandy

but i'll make an example of the deaf/blind people
they are the same person in other universes, just different situations/decisions being made
one blind man here is another blind man there...our blind man might stop right before a truck hit him (he might of sensed it from the other blind man which might have gotten hit already) thats where Deja Vu comes into play
have you ever "had a feeling" about something? that could be because the other you kinda synced in

I think that there are so many universes with so many alternate realities that there are slight variations that are not noticeable between them. I do feel that a blind person or a deaf person can eventually visit a universe where sight and sound exist for them, but it would be take a long time, just like it would for me to dream that I am a white woman, for example...

When the Sightless See
In 1999, researchers at the University of Hartford set out to determine what, if anything, the blind can see while dreaming. They analyzed 372 dreams of fifteen blind individuals and found that the age of sight loss affected the visual quality of the subjects’ dreams. The study determined that people who go blind at age five or younger tend not to have visual dreams, whereas if blindness occurs at about age seven or older, chances are the blind will see some images. When people go blind between ages five and seven, their potential for dream sight could go either way.
It all depends on how long a person experiences the world with sight, as opposed to without. Someone who goes blind later in life could experience visually intense dreams for years afterward; however, the more time that person spends without sight, the less frequent such visual dreams become. And people who are congenitally blind (born that way) or lose the ability to see at a very young age have completely nonvisual dreams from the beginning.
It’s similar to the black-and-white dream phenomenon some older individuals experience. A 2008 study at the University of Dundee in the UK found that people who grew up when television was first invented sometimes have dreams in black-and-white, while those who have experienced only color television usually have colorful dreams.

How much visual imagery someone has experienced in their waking life—if they’ve experienced it at all—affects how much visual imagery is in their dreams.

because it's parallel universe, not time travel

You could be right altho one problem i see would be, if we are dreaming about ourselfs in a parallel universe how come we never dream about a parallel universe in the future, say the year 4022, and if anyone has care to explain whats its like.

I believe in parallel/alternate universes; ones that exists for each and every possible outcome....

Interesting way of looking at it, maybe you are right.

So, why is it that it's not possible to read a full paragraph of written text in a dream? Are we all dyslexic in other universes?
