No there's actually a mental disorder that forces you to rethink what you did over and over. I think it might be apart of OCD, not sure. I do that too all the time - I play events out in my head over and over and over and think of different scenarios and their outcomes, etc.

I wish I could do that.. The most I can do is imagine things that aren't there are there, My brain says things are there, but my eyes tell my brain otherwise. Things just apear then disapear really quickly rapidly. I'm Weird.

I do that to, to some extent.  I think it's perfectly normal to consider "what if..." situations after making a decision, especially an important one. 

One example is a job interview.  I doubt there's anybody who doesn't leave a job interview thinking, "would it have went better if I said this? or that?"  It's the same idea as dreaming -- just replaying events and trying to make sense of them.

I think that you're far too eager to label anything that you consider abnormal in yourself to be a mental disorder.  The difference between a normal person and a person with OCD (in my opinion) is that somebody with OCD is obsessive about what they do.  Things like trying to keep clean, replaying events mentally, liking things to be neat, liking things in a certain order, etc, are all perfectly normal.  It's even normal for that to bother people.  I know plenty of people, including myself, who are bothered by disorder, and I don't think they have OCD because it's not a major integral part of their lives. 

That's my opinion anyway.  I'm no psychiatrist, although there appears to be one sitting next to me, studying from a psychology textbook.  But I don't think I'm going to bug her about this :)
This'll make an interesting test for broken AV:

Of course it's normal, but I get really bad headaches when stuff bothers me - sudden migranes. I used to refer to them as simply thinking cramps, but I've been told that's not what they are.

And as far as labeling myself whatever, I was on medication to help a lot of that stuff when I was younger...
