Recently a friend of mine died in some mysterious way while studying abroad in Ireland. She was 21, perfectly healthy, and actually an athlete. I'm not trying to make anyone sad or get some sympathy here, but I thought it was very strange when I remembered that I had a dream some time ago in which this girl died. The dream happened a while ago but it has always been one of my most vivid and easily remembered dreams of all time. I was actually sad when I woke up from that dream and it had seemed so real to me at the time that I did not even realize it had been a dream until hours after I had woken up that day.

I have never had anything else like this happen to me, but my grandmother every so often has dreams in which people she knows are handling raw, bloody meat in some way, and then soon after these dreams that person will get sick or have something bad happen to them.

Is this kind of stuff connected or is it all just coincidence? I would like to be able to develop this ability and after coming to this website I am going to start a dream journal. Is there any thing else I can do to try and harness this supposed precognition?

(just as an end note, this girl was my 3rd friend to die in 3 months. All 3 were 21 years old.)
