I had a super scary nightmare last night that really jumped me out of bed. I almost never have nightmares!
I was flying in this big commercial jet were all the passenger seats could see out the pilots window. I was pretty close up front. The pilot started really flying low over the water and was heading straight towards a skyscraper. I could see the windows in the building getting closer and closer. Right before he hit the building we all put our heads in crash position.
I remember right before he hit the building thinking Here I come Jesus, I wonder what I will be seeing next. I was still pretty scared though.
I immediately woke up when the plane hit.
Not that this is too related to this thread but I just had to share as it really made me think about life!
I think your dream is pretty indicative of a situation where you can see what disaster is coming, but are powerless to stop it.
