In the first dream there was only darkness. I was aware of being in what felt and sounded like a large passenger plane. I couldn’t see anything but I could feel and hear all of the people around me. Some were crying, some just talking frantically, and others were screaming. Then all of a sudden all I heard was just screaming, more screaming, and then silence.

Then I opened my eyes from the darkness and I was standing in the middle of a large office. I realized I was in a sky rise. I could see everything around me but there was only silence. I don’t often enter tall buildings but when I do I always go to the windows to look out. So, naturally, in my dream I walked to the window. I then saw that I was at top of this sky rise and when I looked out the window there were three buildings standing in a row directly in front of me. They all had dark smoke and fire coming out at the top. The sky was filled with smoke and then I could hear the screams again. I found myself at the bottom of the building standing in the street. The screams continued but now there were objects falling from the sky. I remember feeling like I needed to catch them. I looked around for something to catch them in. I found a box. I ran around trying to catch them but I couldn’t catch them all, I wasn’t fast enough there were too many. I felt so sad and sat helpless on the ground. It was about that moment when I was awakened by a loud knock on my front door.

I got out of bed very shaken from my dream. When I got to the door my neighbor was standing there crying. She knew that I had no television and wanted to tell me that someone just flown a jet into one of the Twin Towers at the World Trade Center. I was half asleep and not sure how to respond. I told them I would dress get the kids up and meet them at their house. I did not put two and two together until later that morning. It was during one of the news updates that I realized that I had been on one of those planes with all of those people, and an overwhelming sense of sadness hit me and I cried. Later during another update I saw the image in my dream. The four buildings all in a row burning. Even worse was when the people that could not get out decided they would rather jump than burn and then began jumping out of windows I realized it was them that I was trying to catch in my dream…..and I cried again.

I heard those screams and saw those images everyday for the next couple of weeks, and off and on over the next few months. I can hear them now. I know that there were many others out there who experienced precognitive dreams that morning. Some of them days, weeks, and even months before September 11, 2001.

I am very interested to hear from those people. If you or someone you know had a similar experience and would like to share, you can email me at lisa@scarygeek.com.
