   Very cool and well-told. Yep, there's tons of stories to be found with   
   precognitive aspects similar to this. I, too, had a precognitive dream   
   about a car accident; wrote it down in me journal (important if one   
   wants skeptics to shut up and listen, however ill-tempered and itchin'   
   to call you liar :) )  and about a week later, there I was, gettin   
   that deja-voodooo hair-raisin' ...OOOOH SHHHHHIIIIIII____; couldn't   
   spot the car I KNEW had to be there, and sure as sh_t, BAMMM!!!....it   
   had it's lites off and so didn't show up in my night-vision-adjusted   
   rear view mirror.... bummer. Predestination? Fate? I don't know.   
   There's been some interesting studies done by parapsychologists...um,   
   maybe Krippner and Ullman? or was that   
   dream-telepathy?....heheeh...the memory does indeed degrade with age.   
   Anyway, a simple word search on such matters would certainly  clarify   
   that point should anyone feel like following up on the "scientific"   
   side of the phenom.   
   Thanks for sharing.
