A couple weeks ago I had a nightmare that I was in an airplane and it crashed into the water. Two days later my husband announced we are going on vacation. A real one this time - not a 2 day trip driving to LLMD. This time we are flying to a warm place with the kiddos and all.
The next day my son woke from a bad dream and said, "Mom, what happens if the propellor falls off the plane while it is in the sky?" **** your pants, I thought. The conversation left me a little uneasy.
I turned on the radio on Monday and playing is a song about dying. I turned it off immediately. The next day I get into my car and the radio has another song about dying!!!
While I was shopping the hubby calls me on the cell and says, "this is really weird but, I can't escape this uneasy feeling about our trip. I left the Dairy whatever yesterday and nearly bumped into the local funeral home director. We looked at each other and I got the chills. Then on the way home I met our life insurance agent on the highway!!!"
He got creeped out even more when I told him about the dream I had and the songs on the radio.
Today I received bad news that a classmate's mother passed away in an auto accident. The person telling me the news said, "I hear you guys are going on vacation. Just be careful too, ok?"
SHUT UP!! I hate to fly and maybe I am just being paranoid but this doesn't sound good. Maybe someone is trying to tell me something....

If you're looking for someone to tell you "Don't go" here it is:
DON'T GO Posted by dontlikeliver (Member # 4749) on :
I think you have (admittedly) a fear of flying and I suppose you may have expressed that to your family who are then also dreaming about it, and if you told your dream to your husband that might have freaked him out and given him the uneasy feeling.
I guess you could not go, but you'll probably just miss a good vacation. I think you should go an enjoy it.
I don't love flying either, but I have done it all my life and I fly more than the average person about 8-10 flights a year...my husband travels by plane about 35 times a year.......my friend is a British Airways crew member and has been flying all the time for 25 years and nothing bad has happened.
You're far worse off in your car.
Sorry, this might not have been the answer you were looking for, but I think you should just go have a good vacation and try to not get worked up about it.
BTW, I have dreamt about being in airplane crashes and airplane emergency situations a few times, and I'm still here.

That would creep me out too.
I would either cancel or take another mode of transportation.
Did you ever see the movie Final Destination?

It's creepy to be sure. But you could end up staying at home and getting in a bad car accident. We can all go at any time. I'd go on the trip and just think it's a weird coincidence. Creepy coincidence!

Dear Imanurse,
I read your post this am, but thought about what I would do all day long.
I know I would trust my instincts. If I felt uneasy for whatever reason, then I would delay or change my travel plans.
I believe that messages and signs come to us in many ways though many people and in many forms.
I myself wouldn't go.....on that date, on that flight, etc.
I would postpone it by one day, one week, one month.
Trust your instincts. Is it fear or is it a deep seated kind of knowing?
I coud just imagine myself on that plane hyperventilating until I passed out.
The worry alone about something going "wrong" would ruin any vacation for me.
If I made it there on the plane in one piece, then I would be completely focused on worrying about the plane ride home.
Hugs,
Geneal

I agree with Geneal....I'm not afraid of flying, but would change my plans if I got THAT MANY signals to do so!!!
How about flying to another state besides the place you WERE going to go to??
Posted by Cobweb (Member # 10053) on :
Flying's not the issue here. If several family members are getting essentially the same message then "DON"T GO "
You'll never really know if it was a contagious case of paranoia or not-but is it worth the stress?
Statistics are not guarrantees. Planes may be safer, but you'd still have to knock me out to get me to go on one. with or without any kind of premonition.
One way to "escape the uneasy feeling" your husband has is to plan a different escape. At least it would save you from another restless night's sleep.
Take Care, Keep us posted. Cobweb

god gave us our 6th sense, gut reactions, for a reason; the incidents you described are definitely saying to change days/flights, etc.
when are you leaving and where are you headed?
i agree with everyone else...RESCEDULE. Posted by treepatrol (Member # 4117) on :
If I had that many incedents I would not go.
I dreamed one winter that a plane was crashing and it looked a lot like our bomber that we use for wildfire water drops. I told a christian friend about it while we marking timber because I trusted him and I also told my smokechaser partner about it I didnt tell the pilot or his wife who I had become friends with over the years. Well that spring on a sunday I was listening to my portable radio even though I was off that day and another district had a bad fire they were using a helicopter and our water bomber all of a sudden I heard the copter pilot say I dont see the bomber and it was dead silence in me Now I had forgot about this dream, anyway they in fact went down that sunday not far from where I live I knew it was bad.
So I go to work and Iam out with my friend marking timber and he said dont you remember telling me about a plane crash that looked like our bomber I almost fell to me knees i had tears running down my cheeks I had totally forgot the dream.
I now whish I had told them before the crash maybe he would not have gotten so close to the trees that day? a updraft caught his wing which intern shoved the other one into the tree tops and down thay went around 200 miles a hour, there wasnt anything bigger than a typerighter on the ground after that.
I still feel so sorry I didnt say something before did tell the wife after about it and she said he loved flying and it would not have made a difference. The second bad thing about this was because pilots who fly for government contracts cant afford insurance its just to high she went on to fight with congress over this because while in employ of government contracts they Pilots should be able to afford there on insurance even in this high risk fire fighting jobs as far as I know congress never helped.
So anyway if you have had that many warnings maybe you shouldnt go.
This isnt the first time I have had these dreams that come true the problem is trying to figure which ones are from God and not just a dream.

Hi Ima,
Are you normally intuitive?
Dreams speak in metaphors. I'd say the dream you had represents you flying out of control, and the feeling like you may crash or the sense that you are drowning.
Your son's dream is just another variable of the same thing. The propeller keeps the plane airborne. If you are not there to prop up your family what will happen to your son?
Songs? What about dying for a change?
The funeral director? Are you acting like a real stiff in your life or thoughts? Are you dead inside?
Insurance agent? How about 'everything is covered' and you are good to go.
And the classmates mother is really totally unconnected to any of the other thoughts.
Yes, you may be receiving signs but not necessary about disaster. Maybe you need to go away to have a change of heart. You and your family may need this to heal.
Maybe you are feeling dead in your present life and going away is the ticket to new life.
Hugs, Acorn

Well I decided to go anyway - despite the silly coincidences and I MADE it there and back home unscratched. Whew!!
We enjoyed the sunshine in the 80's in Florida last week and thankfully I felt well enough to take the fam to the Disney World parks. Life is good! It has been a VERY long time since we have been on a real vacation so it was fabulous.

Treepatrol,
I am so sorry about your friend and the plane crash. What a tragic loss.
I believe that God's plans for us are too powerful to interfere with. I was not at all afraid when I flew on the plane and had a strange sense of calm know that if God wanted me to stay on Earth longer He will protect me, and if I died I would be going to a beautiful place free of this disease and pain.
Magic Acorn,
Thank you for your expert dream analysis. It is funny as I was flying on the plane I was doing a lot of thinking about my life and where it is going / not going. The time away was much needed and very refreshing. I definitely do not fell "DEAD" inside now!!

I started out as a psyche major in college and in the chapters re paranormal the one thing I rememebr from SO long ago is that NO STUDY has EVER been able to show psychicness... EXCEPT there is one strange phenomenon that HAS been documented-
when there are train wrecks
(buildings bombed or like when that Earthquake hit LA!!)
or things like that
for some reason there are usually LESS people THERE than at other times, not because of the timing of the THING- but because of the timing of the PEOPLE-
it was an intersting finding!!!!!
almost as if people KNEW on some level NOT to get on those trains that crashed//////////////
it was a train crash study if I remember right-
anywayz, be careful!!!!!!
