Recurring Dreams

 

Today I saw footage of a small plane crash in San Diego. Not overly remarkable footage, but plane crash videos always shake me a little. 

Anyone who witnessed 9/11 will never forget those images. But many years before that I became haunted with the visual of an aviation accident. 

Ever since I was a small child I had a recurring dream of witnessing a crash. It started out as a helicopter. For years it was exactly the same. It was in the sky above my backyard. I watch it struggle to gain control before it drops out of the sky and land near me. Always ends in a spectacular fireball. 

Over the years the dream has morphed from a helicopter to other craft. Mostly unrecognizable things that aren’t conventional aircraft. But the premise is always the same. I see it struggling for control and then it crashes. The dreams are less frequent now days. But still occur on occasion. 

Have you ever had a recurring dream?
