Ten months before the destruction of the World Trade Center I had a vision dream that would unfold into a reality of a nightmare. When I awoke from this dream I felt an enormous amount of fear in my body. As usual I try to talk myself out of what feels so real by comforting myself with saying "It's only a dream". How I wish it was only a dream, but this was not the reality.
One early morning I awoke from a vision dream that was sending fear signals throughout my entire body. The vision started out with me walking toward my subway stop and I was on my way to work. I can remember as I approached the platform waiting for the train how incredibly beautiful and blue the sky was. It was almost hypnotizing to the eye, the clearness and blue of it all.
As the train rushes into my station the breeze startles me because I am in such a deep fascination with the beauty of sky. The train comes to a stop and I proceed to board into Manhattan. All seems like any other morning on my way to the showroom that I worked at downtown.
As the train starts to take the right turn toward the 59th street bridge I can now see the city clearly. What my eyes see next is something that I was not prepared for. I look out the subway door windows to see two buildings, each in a huge puff of smoke. What I was seeing was the Chrysler building and the Empire State building in what appeared to be in some grave danger with this massive cloud of smoke coming out of them.
Right before I go to reach for the emergency brake to stop the train from entering Manhattan, these two men come storming through from the other subway car. They were both dressed in collared shirts and khaki pants. Intuitively I knew something was really wrong and before I could move to grab the emergency brake these two men peeled off there clothing like a layer of skin.
What was revealed next were these two men wearing long white robes and turbans on their heads. They reached underneath their gowns and pulled out automatic guns and started to shoot randomly at each and every person on that train.
At the end of the subway car is were I was standing wondering if I could possibly sneak out the doors to the next car. But the doors had a safety feature lock on them so I could not exit. My body felt frozen in fear, and I closed my eyes shut waiting for them to reach me.
Just as the sound of the shooting became closer to me everything came to a complete silence. In that moment what was probably two seconds had felt like hours. There was no more shooting no more sounds of people screaming just painful silence. I knew I needed to open my eyes to see what was happening. However the fear was overwhelming, but I knew I needed to look.
When I did, I was faced with one of these men only a few inches away with his gun in his hand staring at me. This man was staring at my mala beads (prayer/meditation beads) around my neck that were neatly tucked away under my jacket. He pointed his gun away from me and I knew that was why I was spared, because of these beads.
Then I awoke in a sweat and as you can imagine very disturbed over this vision dream. It was days, weeks, before I could shake the feeling that my life and many others were in danger.
Ten months later after that vision dream it became a reality on that clear blue sky morning. The signs were given to me, The landmark buildings in smoke, Killers blending in as plain clothed people. and the mala beads. To this day I still have trouble dealing with that vision and what became of it. I only wish the gift of sight had more clarity in that vision dream and could have helped saved lives.
