*long! sorry!*
Hmmm. I guess I've never thought of it that way.
I mean, I love the show 'Medium,' because I can relate to it so well, but the way her dreams are portrayed are so unnatural and scary. Mine aren't. I'm making contact, and the experiences are very real and sometimes scary, but I don't wake up feeling like I've been violated in any way. Even the really gruesome experiences aren't like nightmares. (I hate nightmares!) There's a sense of calm with me in all of these, and a sense of myself being seperate from the story I'm told, even if the way it's being told to me is sucking me into it.
And I think that a lot of press about mediums makes the world think that our gift is a curse at times. But you know, I think it's just a gift.

And I want to add that I had a very odd experience the night before thanksgiving. It took me a day and a half to process and realize what it was, and then it hit me like a ton of bricks. (Ghost dream, duh.)
The dream started with a picture shown to me, of this guy, AJ. Now, in real life, AJ is someone who I sort of turned myself into a doormat for, and who is still a jerk to me. In the picture, AJ was standing in a pool.
Then I had an OBE.
Suddenly, I was in the pool; he made a quick movement that I couldn't really understand, but I was suddenly underwater and looking at his legs. Then two things happened at once: I stayed in the pool, floating face down, but my mind felt him rush out of the pool, and into a hotel room.
Then - and this was so real that I actually thought about calling AJ and apologizing for scaring him so badly - I was suddenly climbing out of the pool and sort of materialized in the hotel room. Sleeping in the bed was AJ. I was dripping wet, and aware that I was a spirit. I sat down on the edge of his bed and stared at him. Then he woke up and screamed when he saw me. He looked angry, too. He said "What the hell are you doing here?!"
"FIne, Andy, I'll go," I said, a little heartsick but also a bit detached from the situation. He put his hands over his ears and eyes and pretended I wasn't there.
I floated (literally) down the stairs, walked out of the lobby and onto the sidewalk. I realized that i was in a hostel-type building. I even walked by a woman in the lobby who I would recognize if I saw her. I would recognize the hostel, too. And I'm guessing it was NYC.
Andy...hmmm. Too bad i have no idea what he looks like, because he showed up as someone who I had similar feelings for as the ghost had for her killer.
You know, for a day I thought that I had actually dream-traveled and randomly intruded on an ex who I don't like.
