I have really been racking my brain over this one. I rarely, I mean rarely have Lucid dreams, nor prophetic ones that I can recall. We often times hear of death dreams, I have even had them regarding myself or family members, which in all cases always had to do with some sort of turmoil in my life or a relationship, and I think it's safe to say it was my subconscious simply trying to work them out. This one was different.. Saturday morning I woke at 7:30 from a horrible nightmare involving my young puppy of about 10 months old, who I had really established a strong bond with. She slept next to me every night and I felt like I had a unique connection with, more so than I had ever had with any of my many pets over my lifetime. The dream involved her being mauled by another dog, but that wasn't the point of the dream. I was trying to rush her to the hospital, as she was dieing in my arms, and different events kept occurring that kept delaying me in the process of trying to rush her the hospital. In the dream I clearly recall making a number of "conscious" decisions to try and overcome these different events. I finally arrived at the veterinary hospital as she was just barely barely clinging onto life. This is the point where I awoke, whether she died or not was a mystery, but I had a horrid feeling in the dream that she did, and that ominous feeling stuck with me the rest of the day. I un-fortunately went out of town that night. The next morning I received 3 missed called from my roommate and knew something was terribly wrong. I called him back immediately and he told My puppy had been stung by a bee and was having a very very serious reaction. The time was approx the time I had awoken the morning before. They rushed her to the vet and I met them there. She ended up having what the vets said was the most serious reaction to a bee sting they had ever seen in there time as an establishment, which is well over 10 years. I spent over 1400 dollars and the vets took 7 hours of their time trying to save her and we lost her at 2:30 that afternoon, her in my arms as she had been in my dream. I found the bee without a stinger in the house. We never have bees in the house, in the 8 months we have lived here. I can't chock this up as coincidence, I somehow knew she was going to die that day, whether it was from a mauling or other extra ordinary event. It is really, to some extent bothering me, to another extent really makes me call into question if certain events in life are finite, determined, scripted, maybe not how they happen, but that they will happen. I am just wondering if anyone has experience with this or could perhaps provide some insight or thoughts on this event and experience. A very sad one for me, and anything to help explain this odd event might give me some more closure. Thanks in advance
Hi Sully, be welcome to the forum and thank you for sharing your precognitive dream experience. Imagine that your dream is a portal to a greater awareness that takes you beyond your rational view on the world, and closer to your own deeper sources where you 'Know' rather than you 'know'; where you, as the dreamer, already act on it. I think precognitive dreaming is pretty natural, even common - and just because it's not part of what we learn in school, it doesn't mean it's not real. We live in a world of phenomena. So, it may be that certain events in life ripple out both into the future and past, like ripples on the surface of a pond where a pebble got thrown in ... well I think this happens all the time. We are just rarely ever aware of it. Then, some events which we draw towards us may turn while they still hold the opportunity, and just take a different curve. Some events may appear like being scripted ... but then, even the impression of something being scripted and determined may be just another apparently steady ripple, whereas in the greater picture everything is still fluid and in motion. I believe if there is a script, it's not determined by what exactly will happen; it tells about what we bring with us into this lifetime - lessons to learn and grow with - and is written in the spirit of freedom, not of finality. And if you go look deep into your life - all of it -, maybe you see it. Watch your dreams in the following, as they may help you to deal with the loss and heal it, and honor the special heart connection. Wishing you well (and bear with me for being so lengthy).
