Premonitions and Dreams That Predict the Future
Can we change the future by paying attention to them?
Sue Klebold, the mother of Columbine mass murderer Dylan Klebold, writes about a chilling premonition in her book, A Mother’s Reckoning: Living in the Aftermath of Tragedy.
She was still in the hospital after giving birth to her second son, Dylan, when she was struck with a sense of dread. As she held her infant in her arms, she described feeling “as if a bird of prey had passed overhead, casting us into shadow. Looking down at the perfect bundle in my arms, I was overcome by a strong premonition: this child would bring me a terrible sorrow.”
She forgot about this passing feeling until the day after Dylan’s murderous rampage and suicide. But suddenly, after her son’s death, she recalled the moment.
Was this some weird coincidence, the result of a new mother’s overactive imagination? Or do we have buried deep within us a mysterious ability to sense the future?
The skeptics who chalk Sue Klebold’s foreboding up to imagination might want to think again. There have been too many similar incidences to discount them all as chance.
