In December 1975, a woman named Allison awoke from a terrible nightmare in which her 4-years-old daughter Tessa was on a train track. In the dream, Allison had been attempting to get her daughter to safety when Allison herself was struck and killed by a train XE “train.” Allison was in tears telling her husband about this terrifying nightmare.
Not more than two weeks later, Allison and her daughter were at a train station seeing off a friend. An object fell onto the tracks, and, in an effort to be helpful, the little girl went to pick it up. Allison saw a train coming and rushed to save her daughter, but they were both hit and killed.
I myself told my mother about a train crash that my mother supposed to take, I saw the crash in a dream and I saw it again while she walking me to the train station back in 1962 in Baghdad city. I cried and I told her I don’t want to die mom. Thank goodness my mother did believe me, and didn’t go at that day, as we suppose to visit my father in his political prison up north Iraq. The train crashed in that day and some people died, and so many others were injured.
Allison’s husband is the one who reported this experience to dream researcher Dr. David Ryback. The husband was understandably devastated by these events, but he told Ryback that he did take some comfort in the warning he and Allison had had. It “makes me feel close to Allison and Tessa,” he wrote to Ryback in a letter, “because something I don’t understand forewarned her” (Ryback 1988:2).
I had many other dreams that came true after that and I wrote some of them here in my blog. I am so surprised that some Psychologists are skeptic about those dreams as it happen to me and I know it is true.
Dr. Andrew Paquette was himself skeptical of the ability of dreams to tell us anything useful about the future, so he began keeping a detailed dream diary, with the goal of proving that his seemingly “precognitive” dreams were no more than the products of chance and selective memories.
For 25 years from 1989 to 2014, Paquette carefully recorded 11,779 of his dreams. He wrote them down directly upon waking and before any “verification” of them could occur. In 2015, Paquette published an analysis of his dreams that specifically focused on death.
I also record my dream for many years until now, and I find them correct comparing to Dr Paquette. My brother spoke to me in a dream and he told me that he lost his wallet and told me where he hides it. I didn’t know my brother was dead, later when I know about his death I remember the dream and asked my family to check the place and they found his wallet and a letter to his fiancé with a ring he asked me that he want this letter to go to her. He loved her so much but death cut his dream of marring her short. He got killed by an evil Shia Iranian man in Baghdad, my brother was 28 years old.
Paquette’s investigation didn’t stop there, however. For the 12 people who were now dead, Paquette went back into his dream database and located all of the dreams he’d had about them, both those related to death and those that had nothing to do with it. He then counted the number of days that had elapsed between each dream and the person’s date of death.
But in my opinion this is misleading as there are so many schools of dream decoding, I follow the Ibn siren and that the use of the holy book of Quran and hadith, then the symbols and keys, if you don’t those symbols and they are thousands, you cannot decode your dream ,I don’t care if you are a doctor or Einstein. I studied these symbols for 45 years and still learning.
He said it’s important to point out that the average length of time between one of Paquette’s death dreams and the person’s actual death was a whopping 2208 days or 6 years. While this is significantly less than the average length of time between non-death dreams and the person’s death (which was 4297 days, or 12 years), it’s clear that the mere fact that one has a death-related dream about someone can’t be relied upon to pinpoint that person’s date of death with any accuracy. (Keep in mind, too, that 76% of the people whose deaths Paquette dreamed about during those 25 years were still alive at the time of his analysis!)
In my point if they are still alive, that it doesn’t mean the Dr Dreams about their death are actually death. As I said you have to study thousands or symbols and meaning from the holly books and science books that related to stress, and other feeling and the death here might indicate death of relationship, broken promise, a release from worries, forgiveness, someone who forgot you, rejected you and so on.
In conclusion, Paquette’s analysis indicates that further investigation of this topic could very well yield interesting results. The challenge is going to be finding enough other people who are willing to diligently record their dreams over the span of many years and make them available for scrutiny. Yes I am one of them and I tell that the last 20 dreams of seen dead friends, relatives and family members were all correct. I don’t know the exact time but most of them within a period of 40 days.
