Another Disturbing Dream....

I have been having some pretty disturbing dreams of late and I am trying to understand them. The other night I dreamt that there were two bodies lying dead across the street from my house, ambulances and cop cars abound. The next night I came home to the same scene apparently one of my neighbors had died of a heart attack--I didn't know him by the way--this is NYC so that's not strange.




Anyway I had a dream just before I awoke this morning of the singer Aaliyah. She was wearing a beautiful long peach colored dress; her hair was flowing and she was dancing with a bunch of black woman who were following her lead-- few of them were celebrities. By the way the dream reminds of her video for "Are you that somebody". Well the actress Phylicia Rashad (of "The Cosby Show" fame) was the most prominent celebrity in it. She was dancing and having a great time. Then one of her friends  pulled her off stage and asked very angrily "What the hell were you doing dancing with Aaliya", I don't recall her answer but I am kind of scared for her.  In my culture when you dream of a dead person that means that someone is going to die. It might not be Phylicia but someone around her or another prominent black female entertainer.  2010 has been pretty prolific death wise.....I hope it doesn't continue. 

Aaliyah:My July 2001 Prediction

I can't believe it's been 8 years since Aaliyah has died, time flies so fast. About a month before Aaliyah's death I was in a family members backyard awaiting some BBQ food to get off the grill and I was also reading a vibe magazine (check that act out if you're curious) that had her on the cover. While I was reading the article on Aaliyah I just had this foreboding feeling that she was going to die and to be frank I think she knew this too. I remember saying to my cousin out loud,"Aaliyah's going to die". Of course at that point it could have been just a throw away comment but not even a month later Aaliyah dies in the plane crash along with 8 other people.

What kind of haunts me to this day is that her music videos back in 2001 were very dark and scary. She seemed very quiet and out of it whenever I'd see her in interviews. Everything happens for a good and wise purpose as my fellow Jamaican countrymen would say so even though we are sad when someone passes that person in in a better place. What also struck me as odd was that 9/11 happened just two weeks later. That's why I always say when a genuinely good person dies something bad is going to happen which will affect a whole bunch of us here.
