I should be working on my thesis right now, but I feel I would work more effectively once I get this out of my system.
Yesterday there was a tragic accident as a 30 year old bus cut its way into a group of tourists in Southeastern Bulgaria. Brake failure. 16 people died. 4 are still in the hospital. For the specifics, see Martin’s blogpost. Now this of course made some impression on me, but not as much as what happened after I learned about the accident.
I continued working for an hour, maybe two. I decided to take a nap. By now, the newsstory had already left my mind or at least gone to the background. While I took my nap, I had a strange dream. Just before I woke up, we were in a coach pulled by horses. There was one carriage in front of us with two women riding it which crashed into the shrubs in the roadside, but it didn’t look bad, so I didn’t think much of it. What stuck with me most, is what happened inside the coach I was in. We were about 6 people in there, two families – mine and another it seemed. A girl of about my age was on the phone with a friend of her and said: “Sofia is doooooood” (dood is Dutch for dead). She said it in a strange way and her parents commented on it, disapprovingly. Shortly after, I woke up.
I immediately started thinking… Does this have something to do with the recent tremors and earthquakes here? Will something bad happen to the city of Sofia? But this was maybe 2% of how I felt, because for the other 98% I felt that Sofia was a person… So I thought of the bus accident again. I tried to see if there were any names of victims released yet. Not yet. I became convinced that something happened to Sofia – either in this bus accident, or in some other way. As I woke up this morning, there was a list of names of the casualties. Including a Sofia.
Creepy. On the one hand I’m a very logical person, on the other I do have a believe in the paranormal and spiritual. And I have been experiencing a lot of synchronicity lately… Which I haven’t really experienced in nearly a year (and I’m very happy it’s back – it’s a good sign in my eyes).
Don’t know what to make of it. Given the increase in synchronicity, I have a feeling I’ll be able to put it into perspective through future experiences. For now… It will remain a mystery.

How about you? Have you experienced such things before? What do you make of your own experiences?

Gaaah!! Reading this gave me the shivers!!
I’ve blogged about some of my brushes with the paranormal, do drop on by to check it out 🙂
[p/s: the recaptcha says “Eastern portents” – how appropriate?!]
Ha! Synchronicity! 😉
Will drop by. I had some strange thing happening as I woke up this morning, but I think I was half awake half asleep, so I won’t really go into it until I know more about it myself.
Very interesting! I saw this on your Tweet-feed & am glad you covered about it on your blog too. I have had a few small dreams where something similar has occured & it made me wonder why. I never had a clear answer. So many of my dreams include about the things I saw around me the day before or previously, or about unfinished business. So if something comes out of the blue, I wonder if it means something. In any case, I hope it means good & brilliant things for you 🙂 Have a great weekend!
Hi Baz
Wow, what a dream! Must have made you feel a little weird 😀
I believe that dreams can be very important, Prophet Muhammad said “True dreams are one of the forty-six parts of Prophethood.” we are taught that dreams come in three parts.
1. Nonsense dreams: These happen on the VAST majority of occasions and consist of thoughts, feelings and experiences one might have at that time
2. Satan: Rare and consist of evil thoughts, tricks and deceptions
3: God: Extremely rare but as the Prophet Muhammad said, can contain information about the past, future or current situations. We believe that the Prophets would receive some of their inspiration during dreams and we also believe the rest of humanity can have this blessing too on occasions.
I, myself had a dream once which was quite confusing but very clear and powerful, I had my dream interpreted and I was told that a female member of my family on my fathers side would pass away. within a a few days my Grandad’s sister died
Many people believe in dreams (i do) but accept that the vast and overwhelming number of dreams are just nonsense.
What you had falls (in my view) within the third catagory of dreams.
Why we have them? I dont know. 😀
Very interesting Bas, thanks for sharing it
Peace
