I know this happened a Long time ago-1970 to be exact and of course my mother-in-law is long dead. At that time I was in the US Air Force working as a military policeman at McChord Air Base just outside Tacoma, Washington. I had ten days leave to come and was planning to drive the three hundred miles to Colville, eastern Washington where my parents and brother lived to visit with them. I took my 1961 Chevy Impala in to have a full service the day before we were due to leave and we had just gone to bed when the phone rang. It was my mother-in-law in London ringing at 9am(1am in Tacoma). She knew we were going and how long for but no other details so was quite surprised when she begged me to have the car checked. "But I just had it serviced!" I argued. "I.m Dead serious!" she told me. "I.ve had a terrible nightmare of a blue and white american car running off the road and your face covered in cuts!" she warned. So as to calm her down I promised to take the car back to have it checked at 7 next morning as soon as the garage opened. The mechanic was rather skeptical, but agreed to check it over again. "You,d better thank your english mother-in-law" he told me. "The idiot who changed your brake fluid yesterday didn,t put any back-you have no brakes!" And that,s just One strange thing I,ve experienced since I,ve been married to someone who can "see" things most don,t or don,t wish to see. |

I had a moment like that. Apart from it was my dream, I saw someone fall off a cliff and we were going to a beach the next day. The next day very close to us fell off a cliff and was badly hurt. It shook me up a little. |

i have about 3 or 4 a year. Normally a few minutes of uncommon events (eg dealing with odd customers), but havent had much negative like this since. I suppose I'm just not in the wrong place to have them. |

Sounds like your mother-in-law was psychic. Glad you took her advice and avoided what could've been a very bad crack up.

Ive noticed something similar recently, I can think of a song then it comes on the radio, or a film then within a couple of days its on TV.
Now most will think Im scanning the paper without really noticing whats on, but I dont read or buy newspapers or magazines, more than likely coincidence and not really on the same par, but just trying to get the lottery numbers right at the min! |

I think that happens to everybody, I believe it is just a coincidence; and another coincidence - it has never happened to me either when it come to the lottery numbers |

I won $100 in the lottry years ago but haven't come close since. Of course it's been a long time since I've played.

I think your probably spot on there, have noticed it more frequently though. Will never happen to me either. |
