The Dream that Turned My Dreams Off

I saw the fight between a friend and a young kid.  I saw my friend at his house.  I saw my friend walk up to a truck and open the door.  I saw him grab the young kid.  I saw the kid grab a shotgun.  I saw that kid pull the trigger and I watched my friend fall to the ground.  I could hear the screams.  I could hear the ambulance.  I sat there paralyzed unable to scream, unable to talk.  I felt the tears fall from my face.  I watched the paramedics work on my friend in the ambulance.  I watched the doctors at the hospital trying to revive him.  I saw my friend take his last breath.  I then woke up in the hotel I was at with my boyfriend.

I told my boyfriend what my dream was about. He told me to go back to sleep and he would be back.  Then the hotel phone rang....it was my sister.  She asked me if my boyfriend was there, I lied and said yes.  She then told me that my friend had died.  She didn't know the particulars but that I needed to come home.  When my boyfriend returned, I told him about the call and we rushed home.  We went straight to our friends who had been there and when they started telling us what happened.  The chills went down my spine.  My boyfriend looked at me in shock and told our friends what I had dreamed about.  I knew details that no one knew until the day the kid went to court.

After that day, I quit remembering my dreams.  I never related the two until the last year or so when I started on my path.  I believe I block out my dreams because I don't want to see or feel that way again.  Just in the last year, I have started slowly remembering my dreams.  I have had a lot of deja vu moments but so far nothing like that again. 

Blessings,
