one more thing.

you were in a dream of mine last night.

i have these psychic dreams from time to time. i'll have some dream, wake up and remember it, and i'll know somehow that the dream is something that will happen that day. usually world events. and they are often in very striking detail.

for instance, years ago i dreamt about a huge earthquake in san fransisco the night before it happened.

also, i had a dream almost exactly predicting the recent massacre of those 300 or so russians held hostage in that theater, where the russian police came in and killed all of them. very detailed and accurate. that one freaked me out.

and last year, i awoke from a deep sleep at 6am in LA, screaming and crying and praying, because i felt like the walls were falling in. not on me, but on other people. i've never had a panic attack ever, but for a half hour, i was wailing and staring at the walls, and couldn't shake the feeling that something really horrible was happening, or was about to happen, and that i needed to pray for people. my friend called me at 6:30 am to tell me that at 9 am, new york time, the planes had hit the world trade center and the pentagon. it all happened at the very moment i woke up screaming. kind of weird. who knows...

anyway,

last night, i had a dream i was flying a helicopter. all night i kept dreaming of flying a helicopter, and i wasn't very good at it. i was all over the place. and then i was on the ground, watching myself fly it around. and it crashed in the backyard of some poor, ethnic-type people's house. and today, i read about the crash in afghanistan that killed seven people. not that weird, but just another in a string of dreams that ended up bearing some resemblance to the news later in the day.

and... in the dream, you were in the cockpit with me at some point. very briefly. you weren't in it when it went down.

(sometimes i have visions of happy things, too.)

ho ho ho.
