29. If you woke up thinking someone was dead, and you fell back asleep

You wouldn't remember the incident.

Nightmares are a common human phenomenon. How many people do you think might have woken up with the feeling that a loved one died, and it turned out that the loved one was just fine?

I've had that happen many times with my wife, my children, other family members, and so on. All of them turned out to be fine so far.

But if that happened to, say, X number of people a night, then you will have a definite probability of "hits" in the general population on a regular basis.

People in famine areas and other situations of mass death should organize to do this to those in a position to send help to the remaining victims of the event. That would be an incredibly useful application of this phenomenon.
