I was not going to tell this tale
for a variety of reasons, but maybe I should. It's not a funny story by any means, but it may be worth reading.

I was in a relationship with a woman years ago, a very intense relationship that I thought was going to result in marriage but was ultimately ended by circumstances- we lived five hours apart and there was no way for either of us to move. It tore me apart in ways I can't describe- or rather, I could but would rather not.

Anyway, this woman has a very strange and strong connection with me. She sees me in her dreams, in very specific ways that are impossibly accurate. Examples:

-she sketched a building in my home town in great detail, one I had never described to her and that she could not have known about. It's the local library. She even sketched the boulder in the front yard with the bronze plaque on it.

-she sketched my current house in great detail. I have never shown her a picture of it, and I bought it years after we last saw each other.

-she described the Lunatic Artist and her dog to me in great detail, without knowing that I knew such a person.

-she described to me a lighthouse I saw in California the day after I saw it, without knowing where I was at the time. The lighthouse is unusual, and she described it perfectly.

And today I got an email from her because last night she saw me lifting something in great effort, getting the impression that what I was doing was of crucial importance. Yesterday afternoon I was helping to move furniture, and we moved a large oak armoire that just about killed me- the two boys were at one end and I was at the other, and I would guess it weighs about 350 lbs.

I'm an engineer, and not given to flights of fancy or beliefs in the supernatural as a rule- I'm far too logical. Most of it I can explain in terms of commonplace things that only seem spooky. But this?

Say what you want, she sees me from many miles away. I don't know how, but she does. She has done this dozens of times.

Explain that, if you can.

I wondered
if she was somehow sleuthing me- the lighthouse and the library have both been photographed online, for instance- but it would take massive effort, and the odds of her getting the timing right are astronomical.

But describing the Lunatic Artist and her dog when we had only been seeing each other a month or two? A street view of my house? (This was before Google started offering street views, and mine doesn't have one anyway.) And how would she have known that I was straining to lift furniture?

Nope. I cannot explain it.

I was not going to tell this tale
You think that's incredible, you should see how much the private detective's charging her!

The thing about it is
I think she'd prefer not to be having it happen. She has these jagged nightmarish dreams and sees me or sees things about me, then writes to me to find out of what she's seen means anything to me. Generally she sees current events. But sometimes she sees things that haven't happened yet, and sometimes they come true exactly as she called it.

I haven't told of this before because people would say I was crazy or making it up or deluding myself... but it happened again yesterday with something that she could not have seen by any known method.

The human brain is a remarkable thing
No idea at all how she's doing it....but it's certainly odd.
