Having prophetic dreams is great and all, but then you have a dream that feels prophetic about your own death, and only realise years latter that dream logic struggles with the boundary between literal and metaphorical.
Like, sure, you had a dream where you lay dying somewhere, while somebody you didn't recognise at the time walked away.
Both were you, the old you died and the different you walked off into the future, but you didn't know who that was then, and you don't consider yourself the other person now. That version of you died, and now you fulfill the prophecy you dreamed up.
Still, bet it scares the hell out of you the first time.
