Premonition? U Decide...

I'm VERY intuitive... for as far back as I can remember I've had experiences that would be  described as paranormal. Jeff and my kids are familiar w/ my dreaming and then soon after these dreams become reality. It is what it is and I've long ago learned to accept this.

Rewind to this morning: I woke still in the midst of dreaming this morning because Abigail jumped on my pillow, near my head, her signal it was time to get up. Anyway, I had been dreaming about snow. I thought it was just that I was reliving the moment from a few months back, where I had been stuck on the side of 49 near Mt. Brow during the freak snowstorm that left me parked on the side of the road for 4 1/2 hours, then having to dodge sliding vehicles, falling trees and downed live wires before arriving safely at Samanda's house in Copper.

So, once again, my dream had me parked on the side of 49 in the snow. With traffic backed up in both directions as far as the eye could see. And, my thought was: I can't believe I am stuck here again!

In the short distance ahead I can see where I can get out and walk and look at what's going on around me. I then find myself climbing a familiar stairwell. It turns out to be the steps to Dave's front deck (at one time there was 14 of them). There's a man at the top of the stairs, clearing off snowfall. He said, you'll be having to turn around, look! I'm at the top of a small valley and the vista in front of me is flat, covered in ice, but surrounding it are tall berms, I can't drive over or through them as it looks like the walls of a snow covered levy. Looking at the man I thank him then turn around to leave and this is when I woke.

FF to this afternoon: It's 3:15 and I am still recovering from this stomach virus that I've had this week and I am beyond tired. Looking at the clock I so wanted to leave work and drive home. Then told myself to man up and keep working I only had 15 more minutes.

So, I left work at my regular time. I had made it to 49 and the Columbia stop light when a fire truck came roaring through the intersection. It must be a house fire, I thought as a few weeks back, one of the older homes had a fire created by it's propane tank.

It's a gorgeous afternoon. Everything is green, sunshine, blue skies and temps in the 70's. I was almost to Fragero Rd. when I smell smoke. The visibility was limited to the abundance of smoke ahead. Then I see people on the sides of the roads. Cars parked on the side of the road. There's the fire truck that had passed me about 1/2 block ahead. I think, it was a house fire. Then I think, I can't believe I'm stuck on the side of the road again! Then my mind flashes back to my dream, that I had forgotten about....

Looking closer, as the smoke began to clear somewhat, I realize that it isn't a house fire but a wreck. One of the vehicles was on fire. It was a head on collision. Traffic was turning around. Deja Vu.

Great! I was near empty, well, I had 52 miles left and I was planning on stopping in at the station. I called Jeff to tell him I was on my way and not to leave before I got there. Turning around, I had to back track to Race Track Rd., to downtown Sonora. Maryanne was announcing on 92.7 that it had been a fatality and that part of 49 was now closed.

I thought if I was lucky I might be able to double back on Rawhide Rd., down, into Rawhide valley. When I saw the backed up traffic further than I could see, I realized that wasn't going to happen. Well, it was on to Copper, up to Angels and in to Chevron that way.

I either need to add Amanda's house key to my ring chain or set up a tent on my Copper property for these ER's.

I eventually made it to the station and then home. Jeff has cheffed up green chilis/cheese quesadillas- my fav. It's so good to be home.

So, I guess what I've re-learned this afternoon is to listen to your intuition (if I had left when I first thought...) and to pay attention to your dreams.
