THE STORY OF DREAMS
There is a story of a boy who discovered that he had the ability to predict the future. It came through his dreams. However the future he could predict only dealt with knowing about the fact that a particular person was going to die.
It all started at the age of 8 when one night he had a nightmare concerning his Aunt Elizabeth. He told his parents that night with tears in his eyes.
“Oh don’t worry son,” his father and mother said as they put him back to bed.
The following morning though the family had a phone call. It turned out his Aunt Elizabeth had died the night before.
Now the boy was sad, but knowing his aunt was a fairly old and was sickly let his mind at ease. He did however feel that he had a particular gift. A couple of years later he had another dream, but this time was of his father. In his dream a crow had appeared and informed him that his father was going to die soon. Well this was quite upsetting to the 10 year old and after thinking it over he could not contain his fears and told his father. His father told him right then to not worry and we are all going someday anyway, but below his confident exterior he was quite worried. That day he continually looked around as though an ax was going to fall on him or a car or bus would run him over. At the end of the day when he came home his wife saw how agitated he looked.”What’s the matter?” she asked.
"Well, I’ll tell you. I’ve had probably the worst day of my life. I’ve been imagining all sorts of horrible accidents happening to me.”
“That’s incredible,” said his wife, “if you think that is something the Milkman died of a heart attack this morning, right in front of our house.”
