Sunday night I dreamed that I was at my neighbor's house. It was the middle of the night and their kids were asleep. The dad asked me to watch their daughter and showed me her room. She was sleeping and I was supposed to help her. If she got uncovered, I would pull the blanket back up on her. She never woke up while I was there. I went downstairs and along the way, I saw lots of folded laundry. I thought, "Oh, the mom has done lots of laundry and all the blankets are clean. I picked up one of the folded blankets and took it in the front room to lie down. I used part of the blanket, wadded up, as my pillow.
Monday night, my son called me at 11:15 pm, saying that his wife had broken her arm and could I please come over while they went to the hospital? We rushed over. The three little kids were asleep and they took their 2 month old with them to the hospital. I swept and mopped, took the load of laundry out of the dryer, put the load from the washer into the dryer and folded a couple loads in baskets. Finally, I laid down on the couch at 1 am. One of the baby's blankets was on the couch so I wadded it up for a pillow. Then I realized it was like the dream I'd had the night before. I was in someone else's house watching their kids who never woke up. The mom had done lots of laundry, and I used a blanket for my pillow.
Why did I dream what would happen the next day? It was not exactly the same in form but it was the same in substance. How are these things known before they happen. And why would I be shown something so mundane. Well, it was a crisis for my son and daughter-in-law.
Have you ever had a pre-cognitive dream? I've had at least one other. Very interesting. I'm still trying to figure out what, if anything, there is for me to learn from it.
