I wanted to share this dream I had last night. It really freaked
me out, so I just need to write about it so I could get it off my chest. Last night I
dreamt that a very good friend of mine was in a car accident and died.
I was so freaked by it I called her this evening. This dream felt SOOO
real. I've had dreams like that before that felt so real like that and
within days came true. Anyway, before I described my dream to her, she told me she had gone to Spokane to celebrate a friend's birthday. She lives in the Tri-Cities and on
her way home, she was passing this semi and when she started to pull
back in front of the truck, the truck sped up and was riding her tail
the whole way. It was one of those big semis that hauls gasoline. The
funny thing is that in my dream she crashed into the side of such a
truck when she was trying to pass it, and there was a huge explosion. The thing that scared
me about this dream was I never had one that seemed that vivid and
real. I've had a few vivid dreams (but none as vivid as this one
seemed) that came true, but never dealt with the death of a loved one.
So this one really scared me. I'm glad nothing happened to her the
other night, but I'm still kinda freaked. She knows all about the
dream, but I think I'm more freaked out than she is. I just wanted to
share this experience because its been a tough day and I needed to tell
someone else about it. Also, I'm not quite sure what to make
of the dream other than it seems like a bad omen. I've had a few (well, more than a few) I
guess you'd say psychic experiences, where I absolutely positively knew
that a specific event in my life was going to happen and soon. And
sure enough, within days it happened. Or there have been more than a
few occasions where I was trying to make a decision about something and
my intuition or psyche almost seemed to be shouting at me not to choose
the choice I did.
The timing of all this really seemed odd as well. Just yesterday I met
some new friends, and one told me that he'd had a vision or something
about me shortly before I arrived. Said that I was more psychic than I
realized, something to the effect that it almost bordered on the verge
of madness, and that I had a fearlessness about me. I've always
thought and I guess on some level known that I may have some psychic ability, but never admitted it to
anyone, because sometimes I think I'm just crazy or imagining it. Well, I'm not sure what to make of it all and just needed to write this all down while its still clear in my head. I guess I'm just trying to figure out if this is some psychic vision or just a dream and nothing else. Its got me so rattled I can't sleep. Anyway, if anyone has any insights, please feel free to share them!!
