A Terrifying Case of Precognition

Isabel F. wrote an account of her experience to me: “The ability of my mind to function in an unusual way is by recognition through the form of dreams.  It is always the same dream and with  the same consequences.”  It’s the consequences that make having this dream so traumatic. .

 Since she was twelve years old she had a recurrent “dream about a couple getting married, the groom happens to be one of my friends, but the bride is some girl I have never seen before in my life.”  The reason Isabel finds it so hard to talk about this particular dream is plain enough.  “Every time I have this dream,” she says “the groom who happens to be my friend gets killed in real life.”

Precognition is clearly a gift, but also, it could be a curse.  Isabel shared with me three examples of her cursed gift.  The first occurred when she was twelve. She had what she called her “nightmare’ of Carlos, her friend, getting married to a strange girl and then woke up at six in the morning.  Two hours later her father called from work to tell her that Carlos was killed in a car accident.

A Terrifying Case of Precognition

Wow, Ian! The last one must have been devastating for her.

In her case it really is a curse.

I agree this is disturbing, and it would make a change to have a precognition about some positive or uplifting event.

One thought did occur to me though. Marriage is usually a time of celebration, though it is commemorated in different ways by different cultures. I'm wondering about the symbolic meaning of getting married to this unknown woman, does it denote a welcome or celebration of the 'returning home' of someone at the end of their life? I've raised this before, we tend to celebrate birth and mourn death, but I'm not convinced we have it the right way around.

Sorry if my viewpoint sounds a little odd, I'd certainly be more circumspect in the way I approached the topic if these disturbing precognitive dreams were happening to someone close to me. When events occurring to strangers are heard online, it tends to provoke a different reaction, with more curiosity.
