Prior to contracting this illness, she received many dreams and messages that something was out of balance within her life and body and eventually foreshadowed her illness. She spent about a month suspended in a medically-induced coma during which time she had many dreams that mirrored what was happening to her on a physical, emotional, and spiritual level.

Precognition- A Better Way to Explain Synchronicity: Eric Wargo, EP 253
According to Eric Wargo, dreams are disguised presentations of the future. Eric describes three steps for increasing precognition: 1) record your dreams, 2) In the morning, free associate to what your wrote--what is the first thing you think about when you read the dream? 3) That night read your dream diary for that morning and some previous mornings and their associations. You will likely find connections between daily life events and the associations. With practice you will become more able to see future events.
