Prophetic
Dream
by Readabout123
All through my life I have been able to tell who was calling, know what people were thinking and dream of things to come, but it isn't consistent. Sometimes it is there and others it is not. I was never sure if it was just a coincidence or real until I had a dream of my brother's near-death car accident.
I live 1,500 miles away from my family, and hadn't spoken to my brother in a while. I hadn't really thought of him that much in recent weeks either. Until one Saturday night back in January. I went to bed at about 9 or so and fell quickly to sleep. Sometime around 11 o'clock, I woke up crying harder than I have ever cried in my life. My husband asked me what was wrong, but for a while I couldn't stop crying. When I was finally calm enough to talk I told him about my dream. In my dream my brother was at his friend's house in upstate New York. They had been ice fishing all day. It was getting late so he left to drive home. (He lives in Vermont.) About 35 miles from his friend's house, there was a sharp curve in the road. Just as my brother was coming to the curve in the road, his brakes went out. He lost control and went off the road his truck flipped over three times before coming to rest on its roof. All I could see after that was blood. Then, as if they suddenly appeared, I saw an ambulance and police cars parked all around. The lights of the ambulance and police cars were flashing, and the snow was falling. I remember the feeling of complete and utter horror at what I had just seen. I started to cry and couldn't stop. That is when I woke up. My pillow and hair were all wet with tears and I was sobbing really bad. My husband convinced me that it was only a bad dream and that I should try to go back to sleep. It took a long time to go back to sleep because of the realness of the whole dream.
The next morning I still had the same feelings, of the dream being too real. So I decided to call my brother. There was no answer, so I called my oldest sister to talk to her. When she answered the phone she was very upset. Immediately I knew what had happened. My brother had in fact been in a horrible car accident and was badly hurt. It had happened around 11 o'clock the night before. He had been on his way home from his friends house in New York and lost control of his truck trying to turn a curve in the road. His brakes had failed. In the dream I had seen how and where his truck had landed and the damage done to it. What shocked me the most was when I saw the pictures of the accident seen, EVERYTHING was exactly the same as in the dream. Up until this point in my life, I had had dreams that have really happened, but not to the extent and accuracy that this dream did. It kind of scares me to know that it happened once and it could happen again. It is a horrible feeling when you dream of something like this and it actually happens. My brother is now in excellent health.
