👨 Who: Damon N. from San Marcos, TX

💬 The experience: When I was a young kid at the grocery store, I saw this Hot Wheel car that I really wanted. I didn't buy it, but the memory of it stuck in my head. A few nights later, I had a dream where I was playing with the car, but I realized it was a dream. Stupid young me thought that if I put it under my pillow, it would still be there when I woke up. After that, I woke up and eagerly checked under the pillow – and the toy was right where I had left it in the dream. As a kid, I wasn't surprised, as it all made perfect since to me then. Years later, I have no clue how it actually happened.
