My Christmas dream of 2007: A major flu pandemic!

[syzygy]

Christmas Day of 2004 is when I finally became convinced of my psychic ability. The devastating Sumatran tsunami was reported that evening in the U.S. (it was the morning of Dec 26th local to the event). The largest earthquake ever recorded by modern seismographs had created the deadliest tsunami in history, and in doing so, had exactly fulfilled a premonition that came to me on Christmas Eve of a tsunami originating off the coast of Sumatra.

Christmas Day of 2006 gave me another jolt when I awoke suddenly from sleep and bolted up in bed, saying "4-1-7" out loud. I had dreamt about a 6-foot wave crashing through a classroom, and those numbers came to me as if it was a lesson to be learned and remembered. I immediately saw it as a warning that another tsunami would occur on 04/01/07. Four months later, on that exact date in the U.S. (it was April 2nd local to the event), the deadliest tsunami of 2007 occurred off the coast of the Solomon Islands.

Christmas Day of 2007 (just a few days ago) I awoke from another ominous dream. This time there was no vision or dream of a large wave. What I dreamt of seemed to symbolize a major flu pandemic; the first in nearly 40 years and possibly the worst in nearly 90 years. Because this dream came to me on Christmas Day, I believe that it will come true within the next 12 months. The dream had several scenes, but I could recall only 3 of them upon awakening, which I'll describe as follows (in italics):

I was in an elementary school, waiting in the nurse's office for someone or something. I was the only person in the office, and looking around, I saw a ledge about 2 feet high and covered with black carpet. Indented on the top of the ledge were words saying something like "If you are sick, do not proceed past this point." The top of this ledge continued on to become an angled floor (like that of a theater or auditorium) that was also covered with black carpet, and the walls and ceiling were similarly black. It seemed to be an enormously large waiting room, and had no furniture or ceiling lights, but it was lit by an opening on the far end, formed by either a contiguous row of windows or a stage. Leaning out over this row of windows (or leaning over the stage) was a young girl in a pink dress, with her back to me. It struck me that she was leaning over a ledge looking onto a sunlit exterior (or into a well-lit stage) just like I was leaning over a ledge looking into this black, barren quarentine area.

Then I found myself in a bookstore, looking at a magazine rack that displayed a row of magazines with very similar covers. These covers showed a photo of a man and woman embracing as they stood together before a white background. On each cover, they were in a slightly different pose, as if the cover images were showing variations on a theme. I wanted to purchase one of the magazines, but the store clerk refused to let me have it, and seemed to imply that they were porno magazines. I asked how that could be, since the covers only showed two people standing together. The store clerk wouldn't answer, but only shrugged his shoulders in response.

In the last scene, I was on the sidewalk of a busy city street. I carried a cream-white blanket, with which I covered myself as I lay down on the sidewalk. Peeking out from under the blanket, I could see a woman walking past and perhaps looking at me but acting as though she didn't see me. Other people were also walking nearby, and all of them pretended not to notice me. Then I became one of the passers-by, seeing a black man laying on the sidewalk where I had been, and now he was the one covered by a cream-white blanket. He had a kind, careworn, sympathetic face with a pencil-thin moustache. Suddenly, instead of seeing him laying there on the sidewalk, I saw a massive 4-foot-high marble crypt-like structure with his name chiseled on top of the crypt (his last name seemed to start with an S). It was as if the man had laid himself down to die on the sidewalk, and was now memorialized on the same spot where he expired. [end of dream]

Interpretation: My immediate impression of this dream was that it represents an impending influenza pandemic. The immense black waiting room for sick students that I saw in the nurse's office suggests that many schoolchildren (not only infants and elderly) will die from the next flu pandemic. The two people in slightly varied poses on the covers of supposedly porno magazines symbolize the HA and NA variations of the influenza subtype, and imply that one or both antigenic viral proteins will be derived from H3N2 swine flu (porno ~ porcine) rather than from the highly pathogenic H5N1 bird flu (perhaps the pandemic subtype will be an H3N1 combination of swine flu and bird flu antigens). The scene where I became a black man who was covered by a white blanket probably represents my 'Shadow'; a Jungian archetype representing instincts or impulses that are not necessarily bad or evil, but are disapproved or repressed by social norms, and therefore concealed by more socially acceptable behavior or beliefs. In this case, I believe the creative impulse is my desire to foretell the future, despite the derision and scorn that most of society has for "fortune-tellers." But this time, their inability to perceive or heed my warning will result in death for some of them (or perhaps for me, or for someone that I love). I hope not, but since this dream came to me on Christmas Day, I view it as more predictive than a dream from any other day of the year.

I have had dreams where cities are quarantined, and empty of people, become vast abandoned areas as a result of some sort of plague or disease. Here's is one: http://www.sleeps.com/forums/prophetic-dreams/5799.htm


I've read other dream postings of many others with similar themes suggesting there is something to this...


Some say Hollywood has uncanny ability to release movies that seem prophetic in nature...before the terror attack on 9-11, a movie or two was pending release that contained the destruction of the two towers due to a terror attack...also a card game (New World Order, I think what it was called) also made this prediction a few years prior to the actual event.


Recently released is the remake of "Last Man on Earth" called I AM LEGEND based on a novel by the same title written in the mid 1950's where a genetically engineered bio-weapon virus was released into the general population, leaving all major cities abandoned. Hummm....makes me pause to think....

India is in the news as having a major spread of bird flu...is this where it begins? We'll see.

The next big attack can be biowarfare. Has anyone noticed in some speeches by a foriegn leader that has repeatedly said negative things about America and our prez and that they have a "GIFT" for us and yet that didn't come to pass or is it on its way? I am here to say that we have not learned how to deal with such disasters in the past and it will be as painfull as always. Pray for us all, we are safe in JESUS CHRIST! Repent and call upon our wonderfull LORD, and my freinds thats real!

Amen, resin8love! The U.S sure is vocal againist bio weapons yet the U.S is actively developing them...how could any nation take the U.S seriously if the Bush Administration is Do as I Say, NOT as I DO
