Deja Vu or Irony?
Last night I had a vivid dream about a tornado. In my dream, I was driving my car with Dawson securely strapped into his carseat. We were on our way to church. In the dream, I could see the weather changing from sunny to thunderstorm and as I looked into the horizon, I could see a tornado funnel in the distance. I started driving faster until we reached the church parking lot. I quickly pulled the car into the nearest parking space and grabbed Dawson and headed for safety inside.
My dream was so real. I could feel the emotions, the worry, the terrified feeling that we were going to die. I could hear the freight train sounding tornado ripping through the town. Suddenly our roof began to blow away and I could see things flying through the air. I gripped onto my little Dawson tightly, I could feel him trembling, hear him crying and he was clutching onto me as tightly as he could.
At last the twister was gone and nothing but rubble and disaster surrounded us. It was devastating.
When I woke up this morning I was clutching my comforter as if I were afraid someone were going to steal it away from me. I don’t recall the last time I dreamed about something so real.
Imagine my surprise when I get to work this morning to read the news on MSN and see this article. I’m in shock. Complete shock. I hadn’t heard anything about the horrible twister in Alabama and Georgia, but somehow I manage to have a tornado dream. Talk about deja vu. Or irony. Or maybe just coincidence…

I’ve had premonition-like experiences similar to that. I’m not sure what you’d call it, but it’s a strange feeling.

I think it has something to do with having a generous and open spirit. Whatever strings between us, whatever invisible magnet that pulses and connects us to each other… I think it’s strongest in people like you who genuinely cares about others.

That is scary. I’ve never had anything like that happen to me.
Sorry I haven’t stopped by in a few days. Hugs for you!
