tune in tomorrow for SarahLou's next installment - how she had to solve a Rubik's cube in under a minute while wearing ridiculously high red heels and a pilot's cap in order to stop her nightmare recurring......

just kidding SL - I do hope you get a better night's sleep tonight!
Nightmares are a real nuisance.

Sarahlou, this is very similar to recurring dreams I've been having for years (although not so much recently strangely enough). I dream that I am watching a plane in the sky and see it either explode in the air, or I see it fall out of the sky and see the explosion as it hits the ground in the distance. The dream is always me just seeing it happen, and sometimes having to duck to avoid peices of flying debris. I'm never hurt, and there is never anyone I know on the plane, I just see it happen.

Like you, I've had it so often that when I see a plane in the sky, I am almost expecting to see it start to plummet to the ground, it's quite scary (especially as I now work near an airport and regularly look out of the window and see planes coming in to land). It has also made me quite fearful of flying myself, which I never was before.

Sometimes while I am having the dream, I am even thinking in the dream "well I know this plane is going to crash cos I'm always having this dream"!!. I would love to know what it means.

O.P. - I can only speak from my own experience. I understand why you would be concerned that this dream might worry you - in case its a premonition and you need to get on and warn people.

However - if it really were a premoniton - you would be in absolutely no doubt at all. The number of times when I have had psychic "flashes" of one description or another in my life are very few and far between - but the one thing they had in common was there was absolutely NO doubt whatsoever. I was QUITE QUITE certain that I was right - and acted accordingly by sheer reflex action. If one is questioning whether something is or isnt a psychic "flash" - then, in my experience, it isnt. When something IS a psychic flash - then you just act in accordance automatically and instantly - and then sit there afterwards thinking "why the heck did I think that/do that? - but thank goodness I did - because I was right".

I too think this dream is only coming to mind now because of the current emphasis - again - on 9/11...

(and...as a little aside....there are very few people who will listen/take action if one DOES give them a warning because of some psychic incident or otherwise....take it from me. I have a couple of times demanded that a friend do something INSTANTLY...and I turned out to be correct....and their life was saved because of it...but, believe me, most people are unlikely to believe you anyway if you DO warn them that they need to take action NOW). But what do I know - those people DID listen to me and are alive because of it....but how do I know how strangers would react?....I would NOT like to try telling strangers to obey some "order" I had just given them because otherwise......

I had and still have a similar dream - plane falling out of the sky just after take off. It's always going to the same destination from the same airport which like you, I won't say. Mine started pre- 9/11 when I was a flight attendant! I used to fly with no problems but now I have almost developed a fear of flying and can't stand planes flying near my car because of my dream, which sounds ridiculous given my (ex) career choice.

Sorry it doesn't help much - but was to let you know you are not alone!

...and of course things vary. In your position I wouldnt fly to the destination concerned from the airport concerned - just in case.


.......err....but then I dont fly anymore anyways....:D

No, you're not bonkers at all. The brain is a very clever and very unfathomable part of our body, and with all the references to both 9/11 and Lockerbie lately, it's not difficult for some of the information you've seen or read in the press to have been filed away in those grey cells for processing. Just remember that like a computer, some of its software can sometimes get a bit muddled up. It makes a connection between something that might have happened to you but processes it on a different level. There are all kinds of theories about what dreams mean and how can can be interpreted, but actually when you think about the wierd things which happen in them they bear precious little reality to what happens in your day-to-day life. If you can try to stop fretting about them and trying to make a connection they will hopefully just gradually fade away.
