Thread: Need some help to move past a dream premonition

What do I make of a dream I had ...that I was in a funeral home with the funeral director who was an older man and I was mad at a dead teenage boy as much as he was with me. I took an escalator ride down with an empty coffin and remember being afraid I would miss my stop trying to get off on the way down with it. We apologized to each other then I woke up. That morning I was telling my bf about this disturbing dream and chalked it up to my experience with the funeral director that messed up the arraignments I made when my dad died 21 years ago. 36 hours after that dream I found out about the death of my bf's 24 year old son. I can't get past being disturbed by this. Anyone have any insight and put some perspective on this for me? Its more disturbing to me now that it makes sense to me after the fact because all the physical features of this kid matched his son when I first met him 9 years ago but the face was a blur and I didn't make the connection.

This reminds me of another dream I had years ago that my car was towed away and I woke up, ran outside to find my car still there under a pile of snow and thought ok it was just a dream until the next day when I saw a pile of snow surrounding the empty parking spot where my car was parked.

If the dream was as straightforward as my car I could have attempted to rescue him. Because a failed attempt to save him would feel better than making peace with each other before his death. And while his death looks accidental it feels to me more like that it WAS his intention but on an unconscious level if that makes any sense to you and knowing this breaks my heart that he was only willing to reach out to me in spirit.
So I guess that what I'm getting at is the point of things like this if it you only understand the warning after it is too late to do anything about it? Intuition wasn't a problem until it stopped relating to the living and started to relate to death as I got older. What do you do with something you cant tune in clearly and cant tune out?
