Dreams that are not really dreams

As a child I had many premonition dreams that I couldn't understand nor did I have anybody I could share with to help me understand. Eventually, as I grew older, those dreams became rarer and were replaced with vivid dreams of places or events I was a part of.
One particular dream I remember to this day happened in the mid 80's, when I was getting more and more immersed in what was my natural way of being, energy, crystals, healing, the Spirit World.
I dreamt I was in a cave like place, with some kind of a mist swirling around. Against a wall there was a shelf laden with crystals and other objects.
A man and a woman appeared, a beautiful loving aura emanated from them and it felt to me they were there to teach me something. There were no words, but an interesting knowing between the three of us and everything flowed smoothly.
I felt at home, and I felt we (the three of us) have always interacted that way.
The knowledge they awoke in me in a cellular / energy level was guiding me forward and I felt different after that.
Another dream like experience happened in 1997. It was a Sunday afternoon, and I felt I needed to lay down for a while. I immediately fell asleep and had a vivid experience of being on a spaceship and some human looking beings where placing implants in me. They were very friendly and gentle and I wasn't afraid. When I woke up, I felt pain at the base of my skull where they purportedly placed an implant. At that time, i was very skeptical of all things having to do with spaceships and space people, abduction, etc. I called a friend of mine and the first thing that came out of my mouth was, "I was abducted by aliens". It surprised me and it surprised my friend that proceeded to dismiss the event as just a dream. Maybe, maybe not.
I had forgotten about this until today when I sat down to write this post. It came back naturally, as back  in 2005 I was contacted by a gigantic spaceship hovering over my head, and other events succeeded that, making me believe that Non-Human Intelligent life exists outside this realm. So maybe they've been in touch with me since my NDE at age three and I just took it for granted. Maybe that ship I saw in 2005 was proof that my dream like experiences were not a dream after all.
