Experience description:

I was asleep when it happened. I had a vivid dream about an ex boyfriend of mine. I was currently in another very happy relationship when I had the dream and the ex boyfriend and I had been apart for a couple of years.  My dream was very vivid. I saw my ex boyfriend being stabbed over and over again and there was blood everywhere. It was the most horrible thing I had ever seen and I felt like I was watching it happen.  I was so taken by the dream that I went to visit his brother at his job to make sure he was okay. When I explained to his brother the purpose of my visit he looked at me like he had just saw a ghost and asked me "who told you". I replied "who told me what". He began to tell me that his brother had been stabbed in a club and it was very bad but he would be okay.  Every hair on my arms stood up and I felt a chill slide down the center of my body. I can't understand why I was chosen to see this horrible image.  Little did I know it would be the first of many.
