Airplane Crashes: I started having airplane crash dreams in the last year, year and a half. Most of them, are I see a plane in the sky, and then it crashes, or explodes. The first one I remember, I was at my next door neighbors house, on their front porch, and I saw an airplane. In the distance I could see the skyline of Buffalo, and then the airplane started flying very low. It ended up crashing into one of the buildings and exploded. Another dream, I was driving down the street, and saw a plane. The plane exploded over my middle school. The only other one I remember details about, was I was going to the airport to travel somewhere and I was late. We were driving on the road to get to the airport parking lots, but my plane was taking off already. We saw it take off, and I said “that’s my plane!”, and then it flipped totally over, and exploded. I went around telling people that I was supposed to be on that plane, and thank god I wasn’t, or else I would have died. None of these dreams have occurred before traveling, before anyone I know was traveling, or around any media covered airplane crashes. I have no explanation or interpretation of these dreams. An unusual thing is, that when my mother was my age, she began having airplane crash dreams. They got to the point that she was scared to look at an airplane in the sky, because she thought it would explode (in her dreams, she’d look up at a plane, and then it would explode)…Kinda freaky, eh?

December 3 – Airplane crash dream. I was outside in my driveway at a picnic table with my mother. A new flight from someplace had been added, and it caused a plane to fly right over my house. Well this plane flew over, and I asked my mom if she knew where it was coming from, and she didn’t, but it looked like a Southwest Airline plane. Then I saw another plane flying really low, lower than it should have been, to the west of my street. I told my mom to look at the plane, cuz it was very weird. It was definitely a Japanese plane, it had Japanese symbols on it that we could see clearly. The plane was weirdly shaped, sort of like a submarine with wings, but the back of the plane was all messed up. Then the plane started to turn, then flipped over. I yelled “it’s going to crash.” and my mom and I both watched it crash into the ground and explode. I put my hands over my face and kept saying “This is a dream! This is a dream!” and I looked at my mom and we both tried to figure out if this was a dream, and I tried to wake myself up if it really was a dream. But we couldn’t, so we figured it wasn’t a dream, but I still thought that it HAD to be a dream. Then everything I saw, I saw in pixels, like a computer screen. And I was still freaking out trying to figure out if I was dreaming. My mom suggested I go to lay down, maybe I’ll wakeup if it’s a dream. Then my mom called up the stairs that it wasn’t a dream, the plane crashed, but no one was hurt (?). Missy from down the street came over as well and was talking about the plane crash.

January 5 – Airplane crash dream again. Adrienne had called me from Oregon only 2 days after she had left. I went outside on the front porch with the cordless phone and was talking when I saw an airplane. I was asking her about the trip and how she made it there so fast, and how it was dealing with her step sister for that long. But then I looked at the plane and it was flying funny, and I thought, it’s going to crash. Then it flipped over, and did a nose dive into the ground. I thought, this is a dream, it has to be a dream. And I kept saying to myself wake up wake up wake up. I went inside, and I told my mom I must be dreaming, and so I wanted to go upstairs and lay down on my bed so I could wake up. It took me a while to get upstairs because people kept talking to me. I kept saying that I needed to go to bed so I could wake up. So I finally got to my bedroom and put my stereo on. I noticed my stereo had a weird function that would show special effects on a little screen. I put a cd on, and the screen started showing the video for that song. The song was NIN’s “closer” and it was playing the video, but I couldn’t figure out why. I never knew it could do it before, and then I thought it must only work with new cds, so I got out an old Madonna cd (Ray of Light) and put that in, but it had new songs on it from her Music cd and it still played the video for the song.

I’ve noticed that in many of my airplane crash dreams, in the dream the airplane is really big. In the last one, with the Japanese airplane, it was a really large plane, like it was really close to me. It’s not like I see a small dot of a plane in the sky and it explodes. And there seems to be a theme of the plane flipping over before it crashes. Not sure why.

october 19, 2001 – i had to go to the store, and it was a really nice, really warm day out. so i took my dad’s miata, and the top was down. well i guess i was going to school as well, and i thought i looked really cool in the convertible. so i went to the store, it was walgreens or some drug store. i was driving there and there were all kinds of airplanes in the sky, because i was near an airport. 3 airplanes appeared to be on a collision course, all of them were supposed to fly to a certain spot, and they were going to have to cross paths. the one airplane was doing a nose dive, another was straight, and another was descending as if to land. well they didnt hit eachother, they managed to escape collision but the one in the nose dive i was still staring at because obviously it was going to crash into the ground. well right before the ground it righted it’s course and started ascending again. so i went in the store to get whatever it was i had to buy, and i came out and there were even more airplanes around, on collision courses with the ground. so i’m walking to my car and a hispanic woman with her kids is getting into the car parked next to mine. then we hear all kinds of explosions, and bombs going off. we can see dirt flying from where bombs were hitting the ground. so we’re both scared and don’t know what to do. then there is a bright flash, like the initial flash of a nuclear weapon. so i’m like, ok i’m getting in my car, and putting the top up, i’ll be ok. the hispanic woman got in her car too. well the nuclear weapon blast wasn’t one, because there was no mushroom cloud following it, but i put the top of the car up anyway figuring it would protect me from any kind of biological weapon that was about to rain down on us.

october 6, 2001 – i was at geneseo and i was a boy LOL. i owned an airplane. i full size regular airliner plane, and it was parked in one of the parking lots. we couldn’t move it though because the batteries were dead. so i found the keys to the plane and went over to it to change all the batteries in side. so i got to the plane, and it was huge, and there was no way for me to get up to the door to unlock it and go in. then suddenly either i was big enough to reach, or the plane shrunk, because then i was right at the door unlocking it. so i opened the door and went inside, and someone else came with me to help. we had to unlock all the fire alarms inside, so that we could change the batteries in them. well if you turned off the alarms above the doors, the alarms would go off, so we couldn’t change those. so we fixed the plane and wanted to fly it, so we were trying to think of a place we could take off from. there were alot of straight streets on campus, but none of them would work because the wings of the plane would hit trees and stuff on the sides of the road. then the plane was a big military cargo plane, not an airliner. so we’re still trying to think of someplace we can drive the plane from. but we can’t even move the plane to an airport because we’d still be hitting trees. so then i remember there is an airstrip in the valley, so we’re trying to think of ways we could move the plane down there. then we had the idea that helicopters from the airstrip can come and hook up wires and air lift it to the airstrip so we could fly it.

October 3, 2001 – i was at geneseo, and was leaving to go to class. i was looking out across the valley, and there were all kinds of airplanes flying around. then i saw one of them release a bunch of bombs. i was like, what the hell is going on? the planes are bombing things in the valley. then i realized that there was some kind of military training base in the valley, and the planes were doing target pratice, and parachute practice, because then i saw about 6 guys jump out of a plane. they were falling really slowly though, and they were all staying together, like a conga line. then there were more planes, and when they released their bombs they did weird things, like one plane went into a spin like on Top Gun and then released the bombs.

december 13, 2001 – i was at home, and danielle was sleeping over my house. there were all kinds of reports about this computer model that had been constructed to predict future terrorist attacks. it had formulated a whole bunch of different predictions, and one of them was that that night a large plane was going to invade US airspace. So the US had shut down it’s airspace for non military planes, and they had said that if any airplanes were found flying in our airspace they would be followed by a fighter jet and shot down if necessary. Danielle turned into my neighbor Tina, and we were geting a bit scared over the prediction of this computer model. Then i commented well maybe today is the day that aliens will really arrive on earth, and their big space ship is the large plane that the computer predicted. This didn’t comfort either of us at all, because we didn’t really want an alien invasion either. So i was standing in my kitchen looking out the window, and I saw an airplane being followed by a fighter jet. I yelled to Tina, oh my god there’s a plane, oh my god. So she comes over and we’re standing at the window watching the plane. Then it starts to fly weird, and it is flying lower and lower, and this is when we realize it’s going to crash, and it’s going to crash right near us. The fighter jet disappeared and it was only the normal airplane, and it was an American Airlines plane. It started to recover it’s flight path, but then faltered again, meaning that it was going to crash even closer to us than we had thought before. We’re both freaking out, and I keep asking her if this was real or a dream, and she keeps telling me it was real, and it felt real. The plane finally crashes and it crashes in my neighbors back yard. There was a big mushroom cloud of fire, and super loud noise. So i run to get my parents, who were in the house someplace, and tell them that the noise was a plane crashing. They were oblivious to the crash, and didn’t really care. So i’m back looking out the window and this russian pilot is sneaking in between the bushes and the fence that separate my yard from the neighbors. There is a carcas of a large animal on the ground by my swingset and the pilot goes over and hits it to see if it was dead, and it was. Then the pilot is walking across my yard, and my parents decide to go get him and bring him inside since he is responsible for the plane crash. So they go get him, and he starts talking in english, about why he did it, and the goals etc (which i don’t remember). my parents seemed to agree with what he was saying, and they offered him food and stuff.

Then i was inside a big mansion, and i had a room to myself. I guess i was sick because i was having visitors come to see me. One of them was Rob from work, and he was sitting in a chair next to my bed. We must have been talking about terrorism, because I brought up the fact that I had another plane crash dream, my first one since sept 11th. Apparantly this was a different dream, because i was referring to the dream above, about the plane crashing in my back yard, and i realized it was a dream. So i was telling rob about this plane crashing in my back yard dream, and how i was really scared. I was scared because apparently right before sept 11th, i had experienced a dream where planes crashed into towers and the towers collapsed, and then it happened. So now that i had this dream about the plane crashing in my backyard i was scared about it being another psychic dream.

march 5, 2002 – i was walking by some field and when i looked up to the sky there were 3 or 4 stealth bombers flying around. it was in america, so i thought they were just doing practice maneuvers or something. so i was watching them fly around thinking about how super scary looking they are, so futuristic, and how if i was in a country really under attack i’d be scared shitless to see them flying around. then they started dropping bombs. i figured i was just walking by a practice area, and they were testing bombs. i dont know if it was practice or not, but then the other side of the road where i was, there was a shopping plaza. there were all kinds of people around. there was also a power station (like electricity power station). well the bombs turned into nuclear bombs (i think) and there were all kinds of fires. then the power station started exploding and shorting out, and started on fire. well me and the people who were around realized it was on fire, and that it was going to cause a huge explosion. so we all started fleeing in the opposite direction looking for a place to hide and be safe. we kept running and running and because we were apparently on a military base there were all kinds of chain link fences we had to run through, it was like a maze. we tried to hide behind big structures that were around, but then realized we weren’t safe so we kept running. i found a hole in one of the fences so i went through and some people followed me. then we ran to this building that apparently was a church. so we hid in the foundation of this building, in the catacombs. it had a dirt floor, and looked like trenches had been dug into it. so we hid there, but then didn’t know if it was safe to leave again. dont remember much else, except people who lived up stairs of the catacombs came down and found us, and told us we were in catacombs (because we had no idea where we were), and i think there was a tv in one of the other rooms so we could find out what was going on up above.
