Do you believe some dreams are premonitions of what’s to come? Have you had dreams that have come true? I was talking to a friend the other day and that conversation prompted this blog post.
I personally have had certain dreams that have come true which makes me stand up and take notice when I do have a very vivid, memorable dream.
Here is one example of what I consider a dream that was actually a premonition. Here is a little background; a few years ago I was very much interested in a young man. I lived in Maryland and he lived in Georgia at the time. We talked constantly. It was great. I visited a girlfriend and her husband in Georgia on one occasion and this friend joined us. I was under the impression we were getting very close and I was enjoying it.
Well, as time went on I noticed a distance between us. We were not communicating like we should and I was feeling the space between us getting bigger.
It wasn’t long before I was beginning to suspect he was interested in another woman. I didn’t voice my feelings because I had no proof so I decided to just sit back and watch this thing unfold.
One night while in bed sleeping I had a dream. I dreamt my friend walked up three flights of stairs of an apartment building, knocked on the door several times and a young lady answered. She stepped outside and closed the door behind her. They walked a few feet to the stairs and sat down to talk. A few moments later I arrive at this apartment building and walk up the same stairs. I see the two of them chatting and cuddling on the steps. I look into the eyes of my friend and simply say, “What’s this?” The young lady looked at me, then at my friend and quietly stood up and walked back into her apartment to give my friend and me a little privacy. I looked at him again and asked, “Is this the woman you are interested in?”
He says, “Yes.” And lowers his head.
My heart sank as the realization of the situation hit me, “So this is the end for us isn’t it?”
He then says, “Yes. I’m sorry. I didn’t mean for this to happen.”
I immediately wake up with such a heavy heart but a clarity I hadn’t had before. I knew at that very moment that it was really and truly indeed over between us.
I counted down the hours until I was able to talk to him later that evening. I had every intention of getting this out in the open that night.
Well, sure enough, I call him and ask him flat out, “Is there another woman?”
He became silent for a minute then said, “Yes. It just kind of happened and I didn’t know how to tell you.”
