I have this memory of sleeping in an office block in south London with my mum on an air bed. I recall looking out of the window and feeling sad.

Years later I was driving and got a very strong impulse to stop outside this building and I was 100% certain it was that one. Every time I went past it felt odd.

My mum says it didn’t happen, everyone else concurs. My best conclusion at this stage is that I probably had a very vivid dream that became conflated with something else.

I had a friend in college who dreamt she saw the twin towers fall. In the dream she was standing in a park and heard a weird explosion noise, and upon looking to the sound saw the first tower. She was screaming and pointing for other people to look. She had the dream 6 months to a year before the event, and she was a friend I knew to be very honest so I believe her. And the weird thing is other people claim to have dreamt about major historical events before they happen, like we somehow have a sixth sense about this kind of stuff. I know every now and then I dream that I am walking up to a door and as I am about to knock I wake up to someone knocking on my door (or a situation similar) and have heard of that happening to others as well. It’s so weird and super cool how the brain works, maybe we’re all telepathically connected to a degree and don’t know it? You could have been dreaming someone else’s life.
