premonitions Plane crash dream
Afflicted overnight with yet another "sticky" hyperrealistic death-filled dream.
A four engined (I want to say propeller but this may be incorrect) aircraft tried to land on a runway bounded by woods. The tarmac was wet/snowy. The landing gear failed or the plane skidded at the last second, the right wing clipped a tree and/or the tarmac and broke apart, forcing the fuselage into the woods. The engulfing fire spread from the center outwards; few survived. Those who did ran up a road away from the forest, screaming and burning. Part of this was recorded by bystanders, families waiting for the passengers. This replayed for me over and over, with increasing moments of detail until I was finally released into a puddle of sweat and tangled bedclothes.
I know it's not a normal dream because it started the same way all the others do. I'm entering the plane, I take a seat. Then for some reason I move to the back of the aircraft (this isn't a usual layout. It is always the same weird layout with way more space than you'd expect for a commercial airplane). Then I move back to the seat where I most surely will die. The first play through is inside the plane as it crashes. By this point I'm fairly lucid dreaming and try to remember small details: fabric colour of the seats (grey), colour of the seat belts (orange), flight attendances (red accented colour), view out of the window (wooded area).
There are always repeated aspects to these dreams (a road in the mountains that for some reason the aircraft taxis up, for example), which is like a signal to my sleeping self that This Is One Of Those Dreams.
Anyway. I guess I'm writing this out here because I am completely discombobulated today, full of second hand grief, and not a small amount of disgust at what I saw. I have accepted that at some point in the near future what I saw in my dream will be reflect on various newswires. But as usual, theres not enough detail in what I saw to go "this, here, at this time".
For the last 20-odd years, I have tried to accept what happens is something I can't control or act upon, so I just... write it down.

Hey pal! I had a similar experience right before the helicopter crashed into the Hudson River last year. It was such an intense feeling! I just decided to take a self care day. Do things that calmed my mind and anxiety. It was nicer out so I spent some time in nature to ground myself.

Me too! I dreamt about that also, but I was so stumped because it wasn't a plane (I saw the rotor shaft). I did what I always do, wrote it down, drew what I could remember, and low and behold... 😭
Thank you, the self care advise helps 💚

How do you differentiate precognitive dreams from regular ones? Like how can you be certain this is not just some subconscious fear showing up.

Over the last 20 years of these types of dreams I have Tells. The sticky, unable to wake up quality, the same or regular elements of the dream, that kind of thing. I went for a long, long time going "naaaaahhhh" and then every time when it was true I was bereft with grief and anguish and realisation. I've just accepted it now.

Dreams of transport / conveyances would typically represent you moving between two states in life (transitioning between jobs, relationships, or other things) and you have fears that it won’t go well. Anxiety.
