“My younger sister and I have always been close. Once, when I was around 15, she told me she had dreamed that I would be bitten by a dog on my left ring finger. A few days later, at my best friend’s house, her German Shepherd — whom I had known and been friendly with for years— inexplicably bit me on the left ring finger. My sister and I thought it was a weird coincidence and forgot about it.”
“A few years later, when I was in college, she called me saying she had another dream about me. She dreamed I would be in a horrible auto accident and pleaded with me to not get in a car the next day. I told her it wasn’t possible because I had to work in the afternoon and was giving my friend/coworker a ride, so I couldn’t cancel. The next day on the way to work, my friend and I were tsk-tsking about something her boyfriend had done when she yelled, ‘She’s not stopping!’ just as a ’68 Chevy Impala ran a stop sign and T-boned my ’76 Fiat smack in the driver’s door. I was trapped in the car for three hours and suffered life-altering injuries.
The last time it happened was several years later. I had just taken a home pregnancy test, and it was positive. A few minutes after I told my husband, the phone rang, and it was my sister, who was living with her husband out of state. She immediately said, ‘You’re pregnant, aren’t you?’ I told her yes, and expressed my surprise, since we obviously had just found out ourselves. She said she had dreamed I was pregnant, that I would have a boy, and he would be born on a ‘T’ day. Sure enough, nine months later, my son was born on a Tuesday.
I’ve learned never to take what she dreams about me for granted again!”
