My dad found me a new job (in a dream).

Supernatural, mysterious, uncanny, eerie, or just plain strange things have been happening in my life. These events have occurred during the time prior to and while reading Dossey’s book on premonitions.

I’ve had several premonitions that I’ve not told anyone about. Naturally, I feel hesitant to post these premonitions for fear of ridicule. I’m afraid that people will lose faith in me or think I’m not credible for posting about taboo subjects like premonitions.

Premonitions aren’t something I’d ever discuss at work or with my patients for certain.

However, I do believe that I have a slight gift in this area. I’ve always had it.

Here are three examples that I’ve had within the last few weeks:

I had been wondering about two women who I had known from Marshall University. I had not seen them in nearly 10-years. I’ve seen or heard from both of them within the last week.

I had discovered a letter written from one in an old shoe box. Days later I ran into her at the post office.

I wanted to do a facebook search for the other woman, but I couldn’t remember her name. Today, I received an email from her.

I had a gut-feeling that I shouldn’t take I-64 because it was dangerous. I hear on the radio and see in the newspaper that a bad accident occurred there (two days later).

Last night, I had a dream that my father had found a new job for me. He showed me a career posting on a sheet of paper. I think it was for a school recreational therapist that works along with a special education teacher. I’m not certain if this was the position or not.

Interpretation isn’t my strongest ability. I didn’t know that seeing a letter would mean that I would run into the woman who had written it 10-years earlier and who I had not seen since about then.

This dream could indicate that my father may discover some type of career or position that he’d like for me to take-on. But that does not mean I’d be interested in leaving because I enjoy the work I do now. My father is a mentor to me. I’d imagine that maybe another mentor (an older and wiser recreational therapist) may present a career posting to me in the near future. I have no intentions of leaving my current position.

However, I wanted to post this comment now so the date will show on it. I wish I would have pre-posted about the I-64 accident that I had a hunch about, too, but I didn’t. This time, I’m not going to make the same mistake. I’m going to start posting my gut-feelings and predictions.

Here is another prediction. There has been a debate over the American Therapeutic Recreation Association vs. the American Recreational Therapy Association. I met a woman online tonight. She’s a friend of friend who I work with. Her last name is Artayet. She pronounces it: Are-tay-it.

I noticed it can be broken down into ARTA yet?

Yet could mean = as in some future time, eventually, or, “ARTA so far.”

Added note on 11/23/09. I've not heard anything new from my father about a new job. Maybe I read my dream all wrong. I did notice that my dream was at Crescent Elem. School. My father pulled me out of a classroom to talk to me. On Fri., Nov. 20th, my father had shown a print out of a picture of my brother standing in the same hall. My brother was in 5th or 6th grade at the time. He had won a poster contest for Fire Prevention week. Someone had placed the picture on my father's desk. He didn't know who put it there. Maybe - this is what my dream was really revealing. I still had a strong intution that my father had found me a job, however. I'll keep waiting.
