Dream "Another Ferry Dream"

Dream "Another Ferry Dream"
Early morning August 25, 2015
"I took a ferry to visit a friend or relative. This was an English speaking location, most probably a coastal island somewhere in the U.S. or Canada. (I did not detect any 'accents'.) Upon leaving the ferry I walked the main street of the town which was very active and busy.
When it was time to leave I had to return to the person's house to get my luggage. It should have taken only 10 minutes for them to drive me to their house but for some accountable reason it took nearly an hour to go there and get to the ferry station. So I missed the early afternoon ferry and had to wait for the late afternoon ferry. By this time the streets of the town were very quiet. The ferry did arrive on time. The front end of the ferry looked like a submarine. I had trouble buying a ticket as the ticket counter had just closed."

Notes This dream included several "familiar" dream characters., ie people whom I 'knew' only in the dream world. I got a New England "vibe" as to the location but this could be because I went to college in this area and the dream characters in some ways reminded me of people I went to school with. The submarine shape of the front of the ferry is interesting. This is something I picked up on only after awakening. It might be significant. Yet it also might be a result of something Szaxx posted (on Astralpulse.com) regarding an earlier dream about a model seaplane ("Model Seaplane", which included a ride on a ferry.). Two dreams about a ferry are quite unusual for me as I have had only 1 or 2 previous remembered dreams about a ferry. So I will be looking at the news for the next several days. Ferry accidents around the developing world are rather common yet fatal ferry accidents in North America are actually quite rare.
We'll see what happens.

A few ferry incidents around the world.
One crashed in Auckland others predate the experience.
The submarine part could have been what I term an echo. This is where your experience takes on a sequence from a previous one. You normally know it's not connected but these echos seem to boost your sensitivity. The details can be far greater as they improve your recall by acting as a trigger the same way as a dream trigger works. You recall the info initially and the real meat of the experience then follows.
Time will tell.

Hi Szaxx
Thanx for the info on the Aukland ferry crash. I had been scouring the news recently but missed that incident.
So, given 2 seaplane crashes in North America and 1 ferry mishap in New Zealand I still do not feel completely comfortable in stating that my dreams were either complete hits or complete misses for future real world events. Closer to hits actually but not 'bulls eyes', rather actually 'partial' hits.
I will continue to monitor the news and, as you said, 'time will tell'.

For now, keep monitoring the experiences and remember that feeling where you knew it wasn't just a dream. You should become familiar with it while in the NP, and less so in the physical.

As an experiment, think about rails and what travels on them. Try to imagine that feeling of people being scared a little by something they know isn't quite right. (It's when they first stare at each other for some kind of support).
Next you imagine hearing a loud knock, this is also felt by those standing.
Ask those close to you some quick fire questions. Ask every question without waiting for a verbal reply.
Where are you at this point?
What is your name?
What's on the morning newspaper?
What day or date is it?

You'll get a reply, if its all over the place or meaningless then don't chase it further.
If it has some strong feelings attached, try to phase into the construct and see what else you can percieve. This can lead to more questions for improvement of the data received. It can also turn into a class 1 experience.
Go with it no matter what. YOU can't die, always remember this. It prevents a lot of 'internal hassle' and you don't need to learn it the hard way.

Hello Szaxx
Very good advice. Most of my dreams take place in an unknown location. I can recognize local areas but it's rather rare to know with certainty if I am dreaming of another city or country. Sometimes I just know where I am but that is unusual. SOoo, it IS a good idea to ask for the name of a location in a dream. Hopefully this can be done without becoming lucid. Anyways I'll give this a try and see what happens.
