Would You Want To Know?
Every Monday, Sherri posts 10 questions called "Reader Poll Monday." The questions range from the normal "what did you do this weekend" to "would you rather lose a toe or a finger." I seriously do not know where she comes up with these questions, but she always gets some very interesting answers.
So, today, one of her questions was: "What is something most people don't know about you?" And I answered it, truthfully.
I have a very weird & creepy curse that I have inherited from both my grandmother and my mother. Yes, I said a curse.
I would have to say that at least 85% of the people close to me that have died, I have dreamed that they died two or three days before. The method in which the death occured is never the same in my dream as it is in real life, but it usually is the person, or the person I dreamed died was a specific clue to the person who is actually fixing to pass on.
Here is my question. If I dream you died... would you want to know? Saturday night I dreamed that my cell phone rang and my phone recognized the phone number that I have saved to designate a group of people that I used to spend a LOT of time with.
There was a male voice on the phone, a person I didn't associate with much, but he was calling to tell me one of the females in our group had been killed in a car accident.
This morning, when I saw this person log onto her computer I felt a sigh of relief but it also gave me a troubled heart. I know I probably wouldn't ever have the nerve to tell someone, "Hey, you know, Saturday night, yeah, I dreamed you died... What color dress do you want in your coffin this weekend?"
I know there are a few people I know IRL that read my blog and never comment. Come on now. Y'all let me know. Would you want to know?

Wow, that's a tough one.
I would have to say no. I would just stress and cry and blubber until it happened because that's the kind of person I am.
I'll be interested to see other comments...

I wouldn't want to know if you dreamt that I died. No thank you...just let it be a surprise :-)
I did the same thing once...my best friend KP's Dad commited suicide. I dreamt that she had died the night he killed himself. When she called me the next morning to tell me that her Dad had shot himself, it freaked me out BIG TIME. I haven't had anymore dreams like that THANKFULLY!

Yes, I would like to know so I can tell my children goodbye. I know what it is like not to be able to tell someone you love, goodbye. Oh, and how my heart still aches for that one last moment.

I call it a curse, but if I could have been blessed with a dream like this 12 years ago I probably would feel a lot different. I didn't have one that time, or I would have done something, I don't know what, but something.

I think it would depend on the method of death. if it was natural or could not be prevented, then no. But if I could prevent it, then maybe. But I don't want all that weird Final Destination crap following we around because I cheated death.
