I thought I'd write an interesting first blog. Well, hopefully interesting. In light of Halloween, something a little spooky. At least to me. It hasn't happened to me in a little over 3 years, but it used to happen all the time. I blame the recent inactivity on having a lot crammed into my mind lately after having my child 3 years ago, not that i would like this activity to take place again. I wonder how common this is... Not being dramatic, not exaggerating. This is the way it was:
About 7 years ago I started to get dreams and urgent feelings before things would happen. I'll give you some examples. My great-grandfather (as well as one side of my family) lived in Honduras and i had visited a few times and formed a special bond with my great-grandfather. One random day I got an urgent feeling that something was very very wrong in the pit of my stomach. It was my great-grandfather. I urged my mom to call our grandmother down in Honduras and ask if he was okay. She told me not to worry, that if something was even slightly wrong that we would hear from them. I couldn't shake that feeling, not that day or the next. Then i got the call that next day--he had passed away unexpectedly the day i had that awful feeling
Okay other examples. Dreams. I used to have dreams --not every night by any means-- but when i had them, they would always be about something that was going to happen. Had a dream that my brother got hurt--next day i called home no one answered, called cell phones they were at ER with my brother he had gotten really seriously injured while skateboarding. Had a dream that my sister got in trouble for something (won't share that something, but it was something that i wouldn't have expected or known). Next day called to 'warn' her about it and she said she had just gotten in trouble for that something and "thanks a lot" for not warning her sooner.
When i was living in spain i had a dream that i was driving with my friend and there were tons of bodies in the street. dead bodies. the next day was the 11th of march. That one was really creepy.
When i was dating my ex for a while i dreamed that i saw a dark blue damaged 4x4 truck. the next day his dog (a beautiful female boxer) got hit by a car--they could tell the color of the paint was dark blue--it was a hit & run.
Dating that same ex (and it happened while i dated other guys who turned out to be cheaters too), i had a dream that he was going on a trip, and that in his suitcase he had packed condoms in a pocket. Well, well, the next week he said he was going on a trip with some buddies--guys only . and what was packed in the pocket of his suitcase? yuuup. niiiiiice.

These are just a few examples, i didn't have them every night or anything and i know it's not a huge deal...i was a far ways away from becoming:

As i said, they don't happen anymore. Now i just will get strong feelings about my kiddo when he is ill or something is wrong with him. I know him inside and out (why he's being cranky, when he doesn't have a temp but i know he's got a fever 'on the backburner' as i like to say, etc). But i don't think that is anything psychic--i think that is just mother's intuition. Like when he once had a sore throat, i for some reason knew it was strep. (wasn't going around, no fever, no nothing else just sore throat) i called the nurse said i wanted an appt for him to get tested and she told me up and down that she knew it wasn't strep bc it didn't sound like it at all. oh yeah, rapid test came back positive. . i've got a hundred other doctor stories like that too where the doctor thinks he knows what's going on ("no i don't think he doesn't has allergies", "doesn't sound like he'd have an ear infection", blah blah blah) and tells me i'm wrong, and then sooner or later--always always always is the case that i'm right. not being arrogant, just mother's intuition like i said. no problem being humble---i know i've been wrong about a lot of other stuff in life! but my kid's stuff was never one of them!
