Normally I don't really take into consideration the things my dreams consist of, but the last two nights have been extremely strange/vivid (I remember all of the dream and I don't usually have that happen).
The first dream consisted of a few friends and I hanging out like it was normal, except all the friends I was with (except one) I haven't seen in years. We somehow find a time device and go back to when one of my friend's dad was still alive (he died two years ago). We all agreed not to let the dad know that he was dying soon, but we started drinking and the friend who's dad died had to leave. I take a few more drinks with his dad and start getting emotional...and that's when another one of my friends (one I haven't seen in years) takes me aside and tells me I need to "get it together". We end up having a long conversation about why people die and why I can't give away that my friend's dad is going to die. (I can't remember the conversation, but while I was dreaming it was as if I was right there, drunk, and having a full on conversation).
The second dream was even more bizarre. I was with the same group of friends, but this time we were looking for a murderer in the neighborhood. We end up finding him, and the police show up. They say they're going to kill him on the spot, but I stand up and say he needs proper trial and that we don't even know if it's him. So my friend (same one that talked to me in my last dream) suggests I die for the guy (who, in my dream, I'm sure is wrongly convicted) because I'm in a dream and it's almost like I have "two lives". So, I suggest they kill me instead and I get shot right in the head...but I stay awake (feeling fuzzy and disoriented) and fall into a chair where I black out (in my dream) and jump awake in my bed with my heart racing.
Now, these dreams really wouldn't concern me...it's just that this morning while my daughter and I were getting breakfast someone yelled out my name from a car and it was the friend in my dream that I hadn't seen in at least three years. At first I thought nothing of it, but then I remembered what I had dreams about and it became a little eerie. I'm not one to believe in anything "out there" or "fate", but the coincident was a little too weird for my liking.
