61. Dream

I’m going to save tens of lives tomorrow - Friday April 29^th 2011.  I will not watch any of the royal wedding on television and by not watching, many lives will be saved.

I had a dream five nights ago.  I was watching television with some other people.  I don’t know who they were but there was someone on either side of me.  There may have been others in the room but I don’t know.

On the television screen were many people lined 6 – 10 deep alongside a road.  It was not raining.  Behind them was a building.  I could only see the kerb at the edge of the road.  I could not see what the people were looking at.

There were two simultaneous explosions perhaps fifty feet apart from within the lines of people.  Then I woke up.

I assume that I was watching coverage of the royal wedding although there is nothing that I remember from the dream that makes that the case.

So I won’t watch it.  Even if I hadn’t had the dream I probably wouldn’t have watched any of it but now I shall consciously avoid looking at a TV screen at any time until the whole thing is over.  That should do it.

But will it?  On Sunday I told my son of the dream and of how I had a cunning plan to thwart the terrorists but he pointed out that in my dream I could in fact have been watching a recording of the events hours, days or even years earlier.

He’s right.  I must have seen recordings of the 9/11 tragedy tens of times since it happened and even if I had dreamt it all days before, there is nothing I could have done about it.

I shan’t watch it though – just in case.  I wonder if anyone will ever thank me if nothing happens.

It's 3:30 on Friday afternoon.  It has all passed without incident.  Terry 1, Terrorists 0
