Sometimes the world seems less reliably real.Its sometimes scary, and sometimes wonderful and it makes the best stories.What is it about stories that are thrillers, or sci-fi or the supernatural that makes them so compelling especially when they happen to you?Heres mine.A short time after my husband died, I absolutely knew he was calling my name from the next room.
I heard it as clear as day.I was so convinced it was him I raced into the room which was, of course, empty.You will never convince me I didnt hear it.A short time afterward, I had a vivid dream that he was standing by my bed.I was so happy to see him.
In my dream I stood up.He took my face in his hands, looked me in the eyes, and said, Its better than you could ever imagine.I will always believe he came back the only way he could to tell me he was all right.I woke up right away and I was so happy.
Ive had other very vivid dreams about him and with him over the years.(There was a really neat one that I was visiting him in his new house and everything was white!)Your TurnI think, like Hamlet, that are are more things in heaven and earth that are dreamt of in our philosophy.How about you? Whats your strange but true experience? What brushes have you had with the supernatural, or with strange coincidences?
