One night about a year ago, I was rocking my son to sleep. He was unusually reluctant to fall asleep. Once he'd fallen asleep, I crawled into bed. When my head hit the pillow I felt a rush of panic. My heart started to race and I was short of breath. I had a sense of dread.
My mind was racing trying to think what could be causing this. I made a call to my mother who was getting off work. I told her I had a bad feeling and she said she'd call me as soon as she got home to let me know she was alright.
As soon as I hung up the phone I knew the feeling wasn't for her. The lump was still I'm my stomach. I went to the bathroom to be alone as everyone else was sleeping. I closed my eyes and the face of my ex-boyfriend, Michael, came to my mind. I knew he was the source of my anxiety. Immediately I went to my knees and started praying for Michael's protection. This continued for about 10 to 15 minutes, then as suddenly as the feeling came it was gone.
The next day I was anxious to see if Michael was okay. When I called him he answered so casually I felt silly for worrying so much. Finally I asked him "were you doing anything dangerous last night?" he casually replied "Yeah why?". I was shocked.
Later he told me he had been "partying". That he was using drugs, had overdosed, and had been at death's door. He even had to receive CPR. He said his heart had stopped!
How could it be that after 5 years apart, I was still this connected to him. Did I really feel his feeling? Or was I given a vision so I could help save his life?
Before this happened I had some minor connections with him such as dreaming about him the night before he called my sister. Knowing he was at a place once I got there without seeing him. He is the only person I have had this strong of a reaction to. I don't even know what to call it. Empathy? Vision?
I am just looking for someone to tell me I am not crazy:). Someone to say they have had the same thing happen? I am curious to know why people think its only like this with him. Thanks for reading!
