<br />Sometimes I think. If i was never laid off, I might've been in one of those buildings. Although, most of my pickups and deliveries were after 10:00 AM, and I would've never encountered the event anyways had i still been working there. The strange part of this story is that after talking to some of the old employees after the incident, they advised me that the company had moved only a few blocks for the twin towers, as opposed to the old location, a mile or more away. Who knows whether they... [ More ]

Original Blog Entry: I felt 9/11 happening as I was dreaming that very morning

A few years ago when I was pacattack05 as my handle, I wrote about this in my blog.

It was around 9ish when I was dreaming this.

I was in train station that was outside, but ground level. The platform was very crowded, all the way to the edge leading down to the tracks below. I was standing on the edge almost fighting the crowd to keep my balance. That's how intense that dream was. As I was fighting for space, I glanced outside the station, and 500 feet or so away was a runway with commercial sized planes trying to land, but the headwind was so strong, every plane I saw, maybe 2 or 3 in a row, aborted the landing and took off. In my mind I was thinking why would they build a train station so close to an airport?

The turmoil and the planes not being able to land so close to the airport freaked me out and I left the station, fighting the crowds to give way. As I was doing this, I heard a knock on my bedroom door. It was my roomate's girlfriend telling me that I should get up and see this. I said what, she told me a plane crashed into the twin towers. I preceded to tell her that I was having avery strange dream as you woke me up. She didn't feel the intense feelings I was having, but I understood.

As time went by, I was remembering some of the details of that dream and it occurred to me. Every train line in N.Y.C. except for one, travels underneath the twin towers. I dreamt of planes, trains, crowds, and high anxiety throughout the dream.

Now I have at least 2 reasons not to forget that day.
