Dream of a House Fire

[Pennysense]

About 10 years ago I had a dream of my house burning down, a 6 year old Victorian home at that time. In my dream I was my oldest daughter & my ex-husband was my father. Me, being the oldest daughter in my dream had the responsibility of getting the younger children out of the house during emergencies & meeting in our destined spot out back by the tree. I remember gathering up all the children, meeting at our spot then looking up at my father for reassurance, when he said to me, "WHAT ABOUT CHISTOPHER?" I started to panic, crying & screaming out Christophers name, seeing the whole house engulfed in flames at this point I knew I could not save Christopher, then I woke up.
In my waking life, I have no one that I know with the name Christopher. I woke up exactly the way I felt in the dream, panicked & crying. I could not stop for hours, I felt so helpless & devastated. Soon I calmed down knowing & realizing it was only a dream, but never got the dream completely out of my mind, until that night. On Ash Wednesday, February 2004 @ 4:09 a.m., by an (unknown) voice stating very loudly & urgent that, "I SMELL SMOKE!" I was awakened from a very deep sleep, my husband sleeping in the bed next to me & my dog lying of the floor on the other side of me. I was startled wondering where the voice came from, then decided to investigate our house. When I walked out of my bedroom door I noticed the flames shooting out from our attached garage, OUR HOUSE WAS ON FIRE! I ran back into the bedroom, woke up my husband, grabbed my dog, ran downstairs & headed out of the backdoor. I have 3 children & 2 step-children, but thank God they were all at our ex's house. On that dreadful night, our house burnt to the ground. No one was hurt, no injuries but the loss of everything that we owned, nothing was salvagable. Everything from my past was gone in a flash that night, all my baby & wedding photos & all our memorblia gone.
Since then we have rebuilt another beautiful Victorian & all is back to normal, well as much as can be expected. I've lost the material items, but have not lost what I treasure in my heart. All our family & friends got together & gave us photos & items they had kept.
When we first moved into this house for some unknown reason this house gave me the creeps, I did not feel comfortable in it whatsoever, but I could not pinpoint what the problem was. After the fire not once have I felt uncomfortable in my home, not once, strange as it may sound.
I know this dream was prophetic, but still to this day have no idea who the unknown voice was or who Christopher is???? Still wondering til this day!!!
