The most unpopular of all topics...
*I had a bad nightmare a few nights ago that shook me up, not going
into details, but in the dream, I died...*
*so I have been doing some soul searching and praying, and decided to stop
watching so many scary movies and reality TV. Then this am, this is in my
daily email devotional:*
What will your life accomplish? "You have decided the length of our lives.
You know how many months we will live and we are not given a minute longer.
*Job 14:5 NLT*"
*Then I open up my baby center daily email and this is the topic:*
*Hi Susanne! Have you written a will,* or updated it since Carson was born?
According to Consumer Reports, 70 percent of Americans don't have a last
will and testament. As difficult as the conversation may be, it's very
important to talk with Rob and decide who you would like to raise Carson and
any other children you have in the event that something happened to both of
you.
*I am totally freaked out! I try not to dwell on these things, but it is all
up in my face! I pray often that I live long to be here for my children, is
that so wrong?Do other people do that? Or is it just the normal worries of
every parent?*

Can't blame you for being a little freaked out, really. BUT there is good news. Ever sine I was little I have had a knack for dream interpretation - on a generic level death in dreams is a really good thing. It's a rebirth. A closing of one chapter for good and the beginning of something fresh and new. You can only have the fresh and new through the literal death of the old. So, what's going on in your life that has caused you to "let go" of possibly an old habit or hang-up? Have you had a spiritual awakening of some sort?
If you'd like more detail I'd love to hear the entire dream.
I think that the other things are just coincidence but I would be freaked as well...just know that God gives us dreams as a way to work through emotions and experiences that we're too overloaded to work out in our awake time. Yes, people have prophetic dreams - but the likelyhood of you having a prophetic dream of your own death (unless you are prone to having prophetic dreams) seems pretty slim. :0) It's more likely a manifestation of something else going on.
I agree, I have decided to make alot of changes regarding my health. I'm still a closet smoker, hopefully soon, I'll be totally non. It is such a disgusting habit! I'll post the details...
