This morning at 02:35 local
time Apeldoorn, Holland I had a vivid dream about
a building collapsing with several dead and wounded including police
officers. I did send a report [documenting the dream] early this
morning to Hans Gerding.
It so happened that as I just heard that unfortunately a roof at
Charles de Gaulle airport in Paris
collapsed this morning at about 07:00 hours with several death and
wounded including three police officers.
Many facts of my dream I can find back in this accident.
Could you check your eggs for the times around my dream and the actual
accident? I would appreciate your assistance. It would help us all a lot.
I decided to make a formal prediction that would include the dream time
and the collapse time -- the latter being a widely publicized event of
the sort that might otherwise qualify as a global event. The formal
prediction was for the period from 00:00 to 08:00 GMT, which includes 35
minutes before the dream to 3 hours after the roof collapse.
The result is 29048 on 28800 df, p = 0.150. The first graph shows this
formal analysis period. Following it is an exploration that includes
just the time from the dream to the collapse. It is perhaps just a
chance correspondence, but the trend during this period is persistent
and would be significant at p = 0.036 if this had been a formal
prediction.
