I may be only 13, and people are less inclined to believe me, but I am capable of having a paranormal experience just as much as someone twice my age. Anyway, enough rambling on about nothing.
This happened in the summer of 97 (actually the part that made it so weird happened in the winter, but that's beside the point). It started when I had a dream that I was in my family's rv (recreation vehicle), sitting at this booth thingie (kind of like a booth at a restaurant, except there was only enough room for 2 people per a side and the table was a folding table). I was sitting next to my friend, and my younger brother and sister were sitting across from us. My friend was playing my gameboy, and my brother was pestering her to let him use it, and when she didn't give it to him, he tried to get me to make my friend give it to him. I distintly remember him saying "Amanda, make her give me the game boy!", in this whining voice of his. My sister joined him moments later in whining. The dream just kind of faded off after that.
The reason I'm certain this is a dream (and not just some weird case of deja vu) is because I write down all the dreams I can remember in a notebook. Well, I thought nothing of the dream, because after all, it was a dream and nothing out of the ordainary happened in it.
That summer I was allowed to take my friend Shannon camping with my family. It was raining, so we were all cooped up inside the camper. Shannon was playing my gameboy, and we were sitting the the EXACT same way we had in the dream (little brother and sister sitting across from us also). It didn't occur to me then that it had happened to me before, but once my brother started whining about using my gameboy, I had this very strong feeling that this had happened before. I dismissed it as a case of deja vu. Later, it occured to me that I should look in the notebook I record all my dreams in, and I found the dream I had written down months before and all the details were the same as when it really happened. This has happened a few other times to me, except the dreams weren't as clear as the one about the gameboy, but they're recorded, and they happened months later, all the same as the gameboy dream (as I refer to it now).
If this isn't "paranormal" enough, oh well, I tried. Thanks for your time.
