Dear God, Please Don't Be a Premonition

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.

I've had that feeling before, too, Nick. It's very disconcerting. You know, if it was a premonition and someone close to you is going to die soon, you can't stop it. But what you can do is call the people close to you and say hi and let them know they are important to you.

But for goodness sake, don't a) tell them about your dream, or b) make it sound like a goodbye or all your family and friends will stage an intervention to prevent what they believe is your inevitable suicide attempt.

But it may not have been a premonition. It was probably a brain dump like most dreams are, and it indicates that you have so many people around you and you care so deeply about all of them that you dread the day one of them dies. If you look at it that way, I guess it was a good dream. And if your phone hadn't woken you up, you would never have known you had the dream at all.

I notice you didn't mention who died in your dream. Now you've got us all worried ;)
