Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: I had worked late the night before so, I wanted to sleep in for a change. The morning passed quickly as I had a disturbing dream. I live near Galveston, Texas and, I was dreaming that the Causeway bridge was being targeted for bombs which kept missing and hitting the water instead. It was similar to the Pearl Harbor footage I've watched on the PBS channel on tv. Suddenly I was standing at the foot of the bridge and a man had his back to me and, he turned around quickly and laughed in my face with a sneer of a madman. The man was japanese and dressed in a red uniform. I looked at him in question asking, why? I awoke and lit my morning cigarette while looking for my remote control to the tv to watch the morning news. It was 8:47 am. The newscaster was announcing that the first plane had struck the WTC tower and was unclear whether it was an accident. I started yelling, "we are being attacked!" At the same time, I was thinking, who can I call? I woke my husband with my yelling and explained my dream and the reality that was taking place. We then watched in horror as the second plane struck the other tower. I was completely numb. You see, the Causeway in Galveston is the one true connection to the mainland and, it is a symbol of our connection to the world (Houston) and, a high point of the island. It is the most important land mark of Galveston. The japanese man and the bombs were a reminder of the Kamikazee which, is a representation of the hijackers choice to use the planes as a weapon. If only I had gotten off work earlier, I might have awaken sooner and, thought of someone to contact who would have taken me serious enough to prevent this tragedy in some way. My preminitions have always come true of events that I feel strongly about in my heart. Please forgive me for my lack of timing.
