I don't have this experience you're describing, but it did remind me of a book I picked up recently:
Exploration Of Consciousness
Milner, Dennis - Editor; Authors - Binns, James; Dean, Harry; Mcneil, Andre
They use a very simple guided visualization technique to enter a dreamlike world where they are able to interact with guides and get answers, which they use primarily to gain a metaphysical understanding of physical processes, plant growth, etc. If the ability you're all describing is related, you might be able to apply the same technique as the book's authors very easily.
