When you dream of a dead personA friend told me this story, and he heard it from his aunt

.

At the time, Aunt Nadya was still a twenty-year-old girl and had a friend named Lena. One day, the two friends were getting ready to attend a friend's wedding. However, Nadezhda fell ill and couldn't join her friend.

That same night, Nadezhda had a strange dream: Lena stood before her in the darkness. Pale and disheveled, her hair tousled, her eyes filled with worry... She was dressed for the occasion: a black skirt, high-heeled boots, and a brand-new light-colored blouse, which she must have bought recently.

The day after the wedding, Lena's parents called Nadezhda and said that their daughter hadn't returned from the guests and that they had decided to report the matter to the police.

Nadezhda went to the station with Lena's mother. At the investigator's appointment, she was surprised to realize that her friend's mother was describing features that exactly matched her recent dream. A black skirt, high-heeled boots, and that same light-colored blouse!

She didn't tell Lena's mother about this, so as not to disturb her further.

A lengthy search yielded no results. After several months, the girl had lost faith that she would ever see her friend again, but obsessive thoughts would not leave her.

One evening, as she was getting into bed, Nadezhda, without knowing why, whispered out loud: "Lena, please show me what happened to you."

In response to her words, the girl had another strange dream, in which she wandered for a long time in the darkness of deserted, unfamiliar courtyards and, in one of the alleys, came across a wide table at which her friend was sitting.

Seeing Lena, Nadezhda was initially delighted.

"Hello!" she said. "Where have you been all this time?"

And she looked at her seriously and said,

"Wait... You wanted to know what happened to me, didn't you? Sit down."

Nadezhda obediently sat down across from her. Lena took her hand, and everything spun before her eyes.

Nadezhda was no longer sitting at the table, but riding in the front seat of a car. She saw streetlights flashing by outside the window, trees rushing by, but she couldn't see the driver's face. For some reason, she was afraid to look up at him. Her hands shook with fear and fumbled with the button on her white blouse...

Nadezhda suddenly realized with horror that she was seeing Lena's last moments, through her own eyes! The rest of the dream was blurry, but she remembered the sensation of being dragged by her hair, thrown to the ground, punched in the stomach...

The girl woke up with a loud scream. Now she understood that Lena had caught the wrong ride that night after the wedding, and everything had ended terribly for her.

It must be said that the search turned up nothing. Lena's parents had turned not only to the police, but also to an old woman reputed to be a witch in town. The old woman had concluded by telling them, "Don't even look for her. You won't find her anyway. And even if you do, you won't recognize her."
