heres one of many..
I had a very disturbing dream where I dreamed I was watching the TV when the programe broke for a news flash about a crashing plane. The TV was showing the events from a news helicopter flying close and the plane had a part of its fusilage missing and people were being sucked out of a large hole in the fusilage as the plane continued to fly along. The camera crew were so close I could see the face of a passenger and hear their screams as they got pulled out of the plane and flew threw the air. I was not just upset by the film but was more upset by the tv crew as I felt that the public needed to know the news but it could have been done in such a way as to protect the dignity of the victims and allow them to die with some privacy from public gaze.... thought no more until a few days later the radio described a similar event and people being sucked out of plane as I ate my breakfast.
nothing on its own but part of a string of events that kept me aware that there is more to our existence than we know
Dreams don't seem to me to be particularly supernatural........let me offer something in return.
On patrol in some terrible and non-descript part of th world I opened fire on a phantom target that seemed to be circling me (and mine) at o-dark thirty that I couldn't actually see( despite my anpvs). I'm not the only one who experienced this, other joes also opened fire, none of us had any trouble pointing our weapons, we all experienced this.
As far as we can tell......there was never anything there at all - but no single one of us will accept that we didn't hear and see -something-. Still, I can't confidently claim the supernatural......but you're willing to do so on something so innocuous as dream?
nope.
