You're literally a bastion of information. Back when I could do this I experienced exactly what you describe. I've never really spoken with anyone about the intricacies of this gift/skill before so to hear you describe MY real-life experiences is a bit surreal. Day-or-two-ahead viewing was like being in a mist in my dreams. I had to force my eyes open (in my dream) to see things/objects/people, etc clearly & even then it would sometimes be in pieces or watching edited sections of film (best way I know to describe it).

Daily update: Well last night sucked. If I dreamed I don't remember it. I did eat a banana before bed again. I was pretty exhausted yesterday though so I'm not beating myself up too bad over it. I'll try again w/ the next baby-step I'm working toward tonight.
