Dreams & Premonitions !!

I've always wondered about dreams. Recently , I had a few good/meaningful dreams ;-) and wanted to know more. When do we dream? Why do we dream? I'm a sound sleeper..and least dreamer. My father, brother and sister used to give an account of their dreams everyday while my mom and I would have nothing to say. Little did I realize that there could be a scientific reason behind it. "REM (rapid eye movement) dreaming sleep usually occurs in ninety minute cycles throughout the night, before the onset of a period of SWS. As the night progresses, these intervals of REM increase in length until finally, the last two hours of slumber contain a high percentage of dreams. Therefore, we are more likely to catch ourselves dreaming towards the end of sleep - between the hours of five and eight in the morning for the average person." My father,sister and brother are early morning sleepers. My mom and I wake up well before 5 AM. So we don't have a chance to dream. So, first question answered. Next, what do dreams mean? I went to Dream Dictionary . Sadly, I've never had any dream resembling anything there. So I continued browsing and came here which says "Your dreams are all about *YOU* " "For God speaketh once, yea twice, yet man perceiveth it not. In a dream, in a vision of night, when deep sleep falleth upon men, in slumberings upon the bed; Then he openeth the ears of men and sealeth their instruction..." - Book of Job, 33:14-16 I've personally felt that my dreams answer my questions in some form. So this seems more apt to me. Some dreams are premonitions . As I said, I've had very few dreams and nearly all of them have come true to some extent. But, the best I could remember was an accident that I had. It was 2 years back, when I was getting ready to work..I had a dream which I couldn't remember except that someone told me to remain calm.. I took my scooty and right from that moment I knew I would face an accident. I was concentrating and driving as careful as possible but a part of my heart told me that something was wrong. As I was riding along a busy road, a guy in front of me skid and fell exactly in the middle of the road..though I had enough control, my scooty fell down becoz there's no place to turn, he was blocking the way..A big truck just stopped inches away from me..I wasn't hurt..got up and went to work. But I could never forget the incident. When my mom tells me something about omens I used to laugh at her. Unknowingly, I was concentrating at this guy in front of me and knew that he's going to fall down. Since, I was cautious, may be I was safe. The same might have happened with the truck driver, probably even he might have had an intuition and might have slowed down exactly. My mom used to say whatever has to happen will happen but if we are good, God will make our sufferings lesser. May be, that's true. This premonition works pretty well with others too. I usually drive fast and once I was rushing to the train station, when a guy came in the opposite direction zig-zagging in his bike. I instantly said to myself this guy is going to break his bones and I turned a bit hearing a noise and he had fallen down. I couldn't beleive it. I stopped for a few seconds and just went on (he had not broken his bones..just small scratches). It was not a curse, I have never seen him before and he didn't do anything to me...but something made me think he'll fall. I've started listening to myself more..probably our inner-self knows something more than us. My friends used to tell me to take a course on Psycology. It's 4 years now after this incident and I've started to improve on the aspect of mind-reading. One aspect I'm successful is that I'm able to sense a lie from someone and so flattery never works well on me. I've always wondered how yogis do this fore-seeing part. Should not be tough with some practice and probably a few books on Psycology ;-).
