We recently received this email from Sarah, who lives in Surrey, England.

Let me introduce myself. I’m Sarah, a 43 year old married mother of two grown up daughters. I have a successful job in marketing, although my passion is everything esoteric and the past seven years I have been on a voyage of discovery that coincided with me taking redundancy from a previous role. Until this summer I have to say that I wasn’t aware of your work. However, your book 7 Secrets of Synchronicity leapt out at me in a specialist bookshop in Soho London. Since then I have also read The Synchronicity Highway. Since reading these books I have had more and more synchronicities occur in my life and certainly noticed them much more. I definitely don’t pass them off as coincidences any longer!
I am currently studying an NLP practitioner course and have noticed the parallels between the Law of Attraction, NLP, the work of Carl Jung and indeed your work, which I believe has helped me in my studies.
Anyway enough of the preamble!
I recently posted a comment on your page that related to my husband and I being in the same hospital, in the same ward when we were both children; following the image of a young girl who was in the background of her future husband’s holiday snap when they were both children. (SARAH’S COMMENT IS at the top of the comment section)
But the story I want to share with you is something that happened in the early morning of Tuesday 11th September 2001. During the early hours of that morning I had a dream that was so powerful and had such an impact on me that I went to work and looked online to see if anything ‘bad’ had happened in the world over night. This was in the days before we had iPads and smartphones were something of the future.
Anyway in this dream I was in a glass reception area/ foyer sitting on on a low boxy black leather couch with my back to reception and facing out to the giant windows, with green plants/ ferns etc decorating the windows on the inside and the courtyard on the outside, waiting for a meeting. As I looked outward the lifts were on my left hand side and I could see people walking through the courtyard outside. The weather was glorious, not a cloud in the sky and I knew it was going to be hot.
I hadn’t been there long when there was this enormous explosion and suddenly powdery cement like that fine snow you get covered the lobby, myself included. I remember standing up like it was an earthquake and half crouching down to kind of ‘keep on my feet’ not sure if there was going to be another ‘tremor’/ explosion. I can remember that there a level of panic by more like people trying to find out what was going on.
Then just like a movie my dream cut to what seemed like a music video or something out of Mad Max. There were some middle eastern turban-wearing men with one standing up through the sunroof of a orangey/ yellow Datsun Cherry car holding aloft an AK-45 assault riffle punching the air with it, whooping and shouting in celebration. The sun seemed to be setting and they were driving towards the setting sun in what can only be described and a Martian or Lunar landscape.
I was like the camera man/ director speeding along beside them filming them. I couldn’t see that’s what I was doing but it’s what I sensed because I was viewing the car and going at the same speed. I eventually stopped keeping up with then and they drove off into the setting sun with me stationary just watching them until they disappeared.
As I said this had a HUGE impact on me and I literally got to work as soon as I could to do some research on what I had dreamt. I remember checking out Reuters, Sky News all the major news corporations but nothing came up so I put it to the back of my mind and got on with my day. It of course wasn’t until just before 2pm BST ( about 9 a.m. New York time) that one of the professors I worked for came in and said what had just happened in New York and that was when it hit me that it’s what my dream had been about.
I have kept this to myself until last week when my husband and I were talking about 9/11 and I explained my dream to him; that’s when he said I shouldn’t be in marketing I should be doing something else related to esoteric field. I’m not sure about that but this isn’t my only brush with premonitions/ precognitions.
I hope my story is interesting to you. I hadn’t told anyone before because I had never really found anyone that I thought would take what I had to say seriously and since reading your books and the fact that so many people contact you I thought I had found somewhere where I could share my story.
Many thanks for your time and taking the time to read it.

There will always be skeptics who adhere to a dying paradigm that write off this sort of experience to chance, to luck, to whatever. But the bottom line is that people who experience synchros, especially those synchros that change their lives, understand the validity of what they have experienced. Thanks, Sarah. You have enriched our understanding.
What a strong precognitive dream…………almost like she actually was in two places in the future, like she both astral travelled and time jumped………….
It is sad that people keep experiences like this to themselves, worried about others thinking they are crazy, when sharing could enrich us all in many ways. I think about the many native American traditions that honor dreams and visionary experience, not just for the individual, but as information that may be important for the well being of the tribe.
And this dream is definitely important information for the “tribe!”
It’s certainly an interesting synchro, one that makes you also think about many other associated things. It does seem that some synchros are ‘designed’ to have a ‘huge’ impact – as in Sarah’s case.
It does seem that way, Mike. I can think of several biggies in my own life.
