I went to sleep late last night (7:25 AM); walked down the stairs into the basement and onto the couch where I layed. I was half-asleep when my sister came down to grab something and get on her way to work. The light was off.

When she came down, she turned on the light and I was blinded by it, probably the worst I've ever been blinded in my life. Lack of sleep may have been the cause.

This is where it gets interesting.

Right before she turned on the light, miliseconds before, while my eyes were still closed I saw a camera, and then came a flash (which came from the light being turned on). This has happened to all of us before, most times while we're dreaming. Your nephew is crying and it is somehow incorporated into your dream, and then you wake up to find it's your nephew crying.

My brain tells me I saw a camera, and then a light flash, causing me to open my eyes quickly. I don't agree with my brain, however.

After that, I started to think, "I swear to God I saw the flash, and then the camera, which would be reversed of what my brain told me I saw.

I actually know for a fact that I saw the flash first, and then the camera. What I'm wondering is, did my brain see the same thing, but put it in an order that I would understand, considering for all of us we usually see a camera first, and then a flash when we are taking pictures?

Maybe our brains do this all the time (putting things in the correct order that we are used to; camera then flash, not flash then camera), and maybe time is irrelevant. Maybe sometimes we catch it, but most of the time we don't.

I have had the same experience. One night i was dreaming and i could have sworn there was a semi coming right at me, honking its horn to warn me to get out of the way. I slowly open my eyes to realize it was a dream, only to hear the sound of a semi honking its horn outside my window ( on the street of course).

Maybe not quite the same thing, but i could have sworn my brain anticipated something like that.

I had a dream once someone was yelling at me to get my attention. When I woke up my mom was yelling at me to get ready for school.

One time I was having a REALLY good dream and it felt like I was gonna ejaculate then I woke up and I was! It's like my brain anticipated it.

Sometimes I have dreams where I'm falling, and then I wake up and behold: I fall off my bed, lol.

Never had a dream in which external stimuli crossed-over. The only dreams I have had similar to this are premonitions and the like....
