Prophetic dreams.. plus Quake update

September 26, 2010 by Nicole 8 Comments

Warm nights make for nutty dreams.  At least they do for me.  Last night I dreamt I was in a workplace with my mum.  It was a combination of all the places I’ve worked at and there were people from each workplace too.  I was making up the dips for Friday night nibbles (something I do in my current job) and my mum was sitting at a table taking phoncalls.  After one phonecall she sighed and looked at me.  Then she said.
“There is going to be a 5.9 earthquake in Lower Hutt at 2pm” and then I woke up.  When I checked the clock it was 2am…

Okay so as fellow writers you understand the overactive imagination thing which I have to say is currently in high gear!  I can’t remember the last time I dreamt of my mum.  I just don’t seem to dream about my parents much.  And even with all the earthquakes we’ve been having I haven’t dreamt about one till now…

However I can totally and reasonably explain all this *grin* for those logical types out there rolling their eyes (yeah I saw you!).  I saw Mum on Thurs and Sat and it’s a kind of big deal as she lives in the South Island.  So it was on my mind.  Christchurch had two decent aftershocks on Saturday which I read about in the paper.
So there we go no reason to panic. 
But just in-case I wore flats today and am letting my kayak buddies know in the chance we do have to make a mad dash across the harbour… and they can all tease me this afternoon when nothing happens ; p 
(and if it does happen, you read it here first!)



Quake Update
Yay!  No shaky ;p All is well *whew*.  I was all prepared too *grin* I went out to lunch at the waterfront park so as to be away from falling glass in the event it actually happened.  It was very pleasant.  A beautiful sunny day with heaps of families as the school holidays have just started.  Which explains the mini-yachts I’ve been watching zip about on the harbor.  It appears to be a holiday programme and was rather hair raising to watch with all the close calls they kept having.  It’s a windy day in Wellington so their sails were full. 
Then I wandered over to where they have this neat bouncy thing for kids.  Here’s a pic.  The kids are strapped into a harness that has two long bungy cords attached, one on either side.  They connect to the teepee style poles.  Then they can bounce around a much as they like – it reminds me of that scene in Lara Croft Tomb Raider *grin* I soooo want to try it!
Want a laugh?  While I was watching 2pm tick over, my MP3 player which is on shuffle flicked to a new song.
Aptly titled ‘Lucky’ – made me giggle.

    Kul. If it felt prophetic, it probably was. Waking up and remembering it like that is probably another indication it was. That way the message gets recorded.

    Hi SH – yeah I'm still hoping I'm really wrong – or if it does happen it's nice and deep 🙂

    No, I think if you thought the dream meant something would happen today, I think that maybe wrong. When I had a dream like that once, my first impression was wrong, but when an event occurred, I immediately knew it is what my dream was telling me. For me it was my church burning down. I thought it meant fire from heaven (i.e. a revival) but about six months later, I stood on the foundation with a fresh layer of snow. The building burnt down. My first thought was wrong, but the dream was right.

    You may want to just file the dream away and if it was, you will know when what happens is what the dream was speaking to. It will just click.

    Glad there wasn't an earthquake…maybe it's 2 p.m. 2 weeks from now?

    On the good side, you didn't shake.
    On the bad side, you lost a lot of material to write about.
    Don't you love dramatic dreams? You can puzzle over them for weeks.

    I'm thinking it was metaphorical which could put you right into the therapy, so let's go your route.

    Hi SH – hmmm… well I guess I wait and see
    Hi Vicki – my friends have decided they like coffee/icecream at 2pm so they'll be good with that ;p
    Hi BB – yep, but all writers need therapy! ;p
