Had a dream last night that I was back in the offices of my old firm, talking to another former coworker and business partner who is also no longer with the firm. When I saw him, I said "I don't remember you being this tall" as he looked about 7 feet tall in the dream.

This morning, I get a call at noon that this person died yesterday.

It's either Freddy or Pennywise. Either way you are fricked.

In the dream, did he say anything like he was here to collect on what you owe him?

My ex's mom died of ALS before we started dating and the night before I heard the news that she passed, I dreamt I saw her and she was fine again. She told me I had always been a good friend to her daughter and to take care of her.

It was a creepy feeling the next morning.

Time is an illusion of this dimension. You were visiting him in the realm where your subconscious mind and the astral realm intersect. He was already dead. The seven foot thing was just the symbolism your subconscious mind used to communicate that fact to you.

Genuine, were you notified that you were added to the Over 50 Board?

A lady gave a talk at LSU some years ago about dreaming.

One of the things she discussed was how people have dreams about things before they happen (exactly like this) .... and how it is bullshite.

You dream every night and your conscious mind either doesn't recall them or basically fricks up the "memory" of the dream. That's what happened here; your mind overwrote parts of your dream and filled in that info with that of the guy whom you found out died. You dreamed about someone else, but after you found out about the dead guy your brain changed that dream to fit the situation.

Our brains do this not just with dreams - which are apparently the easiest to manipulate - but also with all of our memories.

I can swear to you that clear as day I can remember sitting in my parents living room watching the Deepwater Horizon disaster on the news and discussing it with my dad. My dad had died a year earlier. My brain has just replaced the memory of us discussing something else on TV with that event.

You can't even trust your own memories.

I'm still holding. Got nine months to go. I'm not stepping over that threshold until next February. Don't rush me.

The only problem with the theory is that I told two people about the dream this a.m. before I was notified of the death of the person in the dream.

So, the "change the dream" theory doesn't work.

ETA: The way to remember your dreams is to repeat them when you get up or tell someone about them for reminders.

This brings up a whole different question. Is noon still morning?

When I was a boy, I dreamed that the priest of our church had died and little devils were dancing around his casket. I was very disturbed by it.

Then the next morning, on the way to church, my mom dropped the bomb and told me. Did I overhear my parents talking about it in my sleep? I don't know, one way or the other. Creepy nonetheless.
