This is going to sound insane

I know this might not the the subreddit that calls me insane for this but even I feel like I’m losing it. I am 18, female, and for as long as I can remember, I have had dreams that happen later in life. I will dream something, and then months, days, however long later, it happens exactly as I dream it. When I was 13 I started writing it down when I had a dream that I suspected would happen later, and it happened each time, so I know I’m not being tricked. But it has almost never been anything of significance. One time I was putting away groceries. One time I was sitting down on my couch talking to a friend. One time I was grabbing a fork from the cabinet. The words used, perspective, everything is always spot on down to the vibe of the situation. My mother says our family is psychic and I’ve always found it ridiculous. She used to have a party trick where she would approach a random stranger and tell them their full name, first and last, and was correct every time. Anyway, where I’m going with this, is a couple weeks ago I had one of these dreams that was different. I was a man, in a grocery store, watching myself walk by and complain about the price of Turkey burgers. I remember thinking as the man “That girl seems a bit pretentious” and while that’s a perfectly valid assumption for someone to make about me, I personally do not think I would have reached that conclusion in his position, it was like I was him and I was hearing his thoughts. It was so strange because I felt how it felt to be this random grocery store man for all of 20 seconds.

Yesterday I went to the grocery store, and despite having noted this dream prior, I was not thinking about it while I was walking down the frozen aisle. As I pointed to the Turkey burgers and maybe a bit too loudly exclaimed “6 burgers for ten dollars??” I made eye contact with a man passing with his cart. It was so insane, because I had the feeling of realizing I’d dreamed this, but like in the dream it was like I was that man for a moment. I wasn’t drawn to him, I wouldn’t have even noticed him otherwise, but for a moment I connected with this man on like a spiritual level and then I kept walking and it was over and I was just so flabbergasted. I tried explaining to my friend what had just happened but obviously like any normal person she didn’t understand and found it hilarious, which I would have in her position.

I can’t put into words the feeling. And again, there is no sense of being drawn to the man in particular, he was very plain looking and I hardly remember his face, it’s like we were chess pieces being picked up at the same time. Does anyone have any sort of insight as to how to proceed or should I just check into a mental hospital? /s 😭🙏
