A feeling of dread sets in

[mandyky]

I awoke this morning in a cold sweat. I had dreamed some buildings had burned in my old hometown and then I thought I heard someone knocking at the door which is what awoke me. Checked, noone there.

I have had other "prophetic dreams", and this feels like one. I hope it is only a personal tradegy for me, as I am unsure if we as a country are ready for another national one.

1. I fear that Katrina was not the end of what will happen,

but rather the beginning of a series of calamaties. But hold strong! Make sure Truth gets out! For all the tragedy, some good can come of this if that occurs.

2. I know what you mean by "this feels like one"

I don't have a name for what I do, and would especially hesitate to do so in an online community, but those who know me pay very close attention to my dreams and or feelings.

A year ago in May, I woke up and said, "Wall of water..I'm in New Orleans and it's a wall of water". All last summer I was worried when each hurricane looked like it was headed that way. Then the tsunami hit in Asia. I was at the Fairmont Hotel in New Orleans at the time. I thought maybe I just had interpreted the dream wrong, that it meant, that I'm watching this horrible wall of water, but I AM IN New Orleans on vacation. I really thought that was it. Until last Sunday. At that point I was in Los Angeles...I called home in Kansas City to a friend and said...this is it..this is going to hit. Even after CNN reporters proclaimed that N.O. had lucked out and dodged the bullet, my stomach told me it hadn't.

Now, besides the gut wrenching grief we all are feeling, I'm having horrific dreams. I call them "ones I should pay attention to". I have a sense of dread that goes beyond this current tragedy. I feel guilty because it's not like I can prevent something or predict exactly. But like yourself, I am worried. I'll just go ahead and say, I see something on the West Coast, this along with another horrible scenario in the South. Hope we are both wrong.
