( for the lack of a better way to describe the view of his face it was like being in a movie theater and the picture of a person filled the screen).

I awoke, sweating profusely and trying to catch my breath. I awoke just a few minutes before the alarm clock was set to go off, now I do not remember the exact time. I put little thought into the experience other than trying to understand for a short time what it all meant. I got up and went about my usual morning routine which keeps me busy right up to the time I head out the door for work. When I got into the car I turned on the radio as I usually do and and the news was on announcing that terrorist had hijacked and airplane that was heading for LA. I shut the radio off because I did not want my son to be afraid. I told him that I was not going to take him to school and I dropped him off at his grandparents house.

I continued to listen to the radio on my way into work and and called my boss who had told me about one of the World Trade Centers being hit by an airplane ( this was the first I had her about New York City).  I had not watched TV so I was unclear on what had happened, when I got to work I immediately went to find a TV and saw what was happening in New York. It still had not occurred to me what I had seen earlier that morning while I was asleep.

All hotel managers went immediately into a meeting and when we held hands to say a prayer was when all that I was shown during my sleep came rushing back to me and I was terrified to think what I had seen in my sleep, was a reality a few hours later. I avoided the news after a couple of days as much as possible, I did not want to know the awful details of that day. Some days later ( I am not certain of how many) they showed the pictures of the highjackers on an airport surveillance tape at the bottom of the screen it showed the time of morning on Sept 11, 2001. I was "freaked out" because it was the same time as was on the alarm clock pacific time when I awoke from the experience. At that moment I felt as if I had stepped into their minds and saw before hand the terrible acts that they had been scheming. Everything that took place that day to me and to the world will be forever etched in my mind, but a scar that I personally experience is my fear of falling while in an airplane every time I fly, I use to love flying before this and had no fear of falling. Now when I fly I find myself saying a prayer constantly throughout the flight particularly when taking off and landing.

I have had other experiences but they were not visual like this and they seem to take place on another plane that was peaceful and enlightening.
