There are times in my life when I've had very strong (to the point of being scary) deja vu. At times I've thought that if I really put my mind to it (which I haven't), I might be able to harness it somehow. I also almost never remember my dreams... which may or may not be related. Does my deja vu come from only subconsciously remembering my dreams, and then remembering them consciously once they've come true? Who knows. I've also heard that men simply are less likely to remember their dreams than women. Maybe I should just believe in Occam's Razor.
Last night I had a very vivid dream... some of which was rather surreal, but was just rooted enough in reality, and with some people that I know, that it really scared me. Someone that I know had died... and I was giving the eulogy at the funeral. I was part way through the eulogy when I was awoken by my cell phone (at 5 am).
I immediately bolted upright in my bed and stared across the room where my phone sat in the charger ringing.
"Dear God, please don't let that be true."
It was a wrong number. I couldn't get back to sleep... and can remember every single detail of my dream even now as I write this. I pray it's not a premonition.
