When I was a child, I remember thinking someone in my family was going to die...and he did, before his time. It was a disturbing thought that would not leave.
I have had dreams where someone says something in the dream and they say it in real life later that day. And I dreamt I found a piece of paper with fingerprints and later that day I did...in an old drawer.
I worked with a pregnant girl and I got the disturbing thought again that her baby was going to die...and it was a stillbirth.
The night before 9-11 happened, I had an inexplicable urge to go to NYC and I went with a friend who agreed. Around midnight, I stood for the first time before the twin towers when no one was around (except an Arab taxi driver who slowed down and looked at me long and hard). I had asked to get out of the car and walked right up to the doors and looked up at the building. I just touched it with my hands and I remember there was a plaque or something at the door. The next day, it was gone.
