Cancer

I just heard some news today and it got me thinking. Of all the horrible things that could happen to me I found out that one of my great friends has cancer. Thyroid cancer too. And even though it was not anybody I was related to, it still got me thinking about how it does run in my family. I have to constantly think that all will be well and that everything happens for a reason. However, sometimes this theory is harder to take to heart when it comes to yourself. So many times I have had dreams that I was going to die. Or that my parents would die in a tragic car accident, suffering the whole time until finally life left them. Too many times I would call home from the payphone at school (when I was in high school) and demand to talk to my mom. Just to make sure they were alright. That behavior stems from the vivid dreams that I have. I constantly have dreams that people that I love and care about are dying or are already dead. How do you convince a psychic insecure kid that her parents are fine when she has no contact with them for 8 hours but just had a dream about them somehow dying? You don't.

The point I'm trying to make with this is that I had a dream about this happening to my friend a few days ago, way before even she knew about it. I was the second person she told. And here's another weird fact: Today at college I got incredibly sick to my stomach and started throwing up and got really panicky at exactly 9 AM. Now, this friend of mine got the news at exactly 9 AM (she told me this herself, she thought that time had stopped when she heard it, so she looked at the clock) and had the same reaction that I did, vomiting and an overwhelming panicky feeling.

Is that psychism? Or an incredibly strong bond of friendship? Or was it just a coincidence?
