This is a *Precognitive* dream I had on monday 24/09/07 at about 9am in the morning.
I was in Geelong in the newcomb highschool/safeway shopping center area late at night,I think previously I had been in some sort of nightclub or entertainment venue.I was walking on a footpath towards a plus sign intersection with traffic lights,I was looking a lot further up the road to see if the late night bus was coming.While I was thinking about the bus I saw in the distance a bus pullout of a side street onto the main road and coming in my direction but still far away.
All of a sudden a long double tram of the type I see in Melbourne entered the intersection from my right,it was turning left into the main road I was walking along but it must of been going too fast.As it was completing the turn it flipped over onto its side and slid along the road for a couple of metres.The tram had passengers onboard and was also filled with people and children seated at tables dining,the tram almost covered the width of the 4 lane road.There were men at 2 ends of the tram lifting part of it,most of the diner's appeared to be ok and now I found myself on the right corner of the tram helping to lift it whilst other people were underneath trying to help the passengers.
Like I said everyone appeared to be ok but I had a sinister feeling,I felt I hadn't been given the whole story about the well being of all of the passengers.I felt there had been deaths also,and the driver of the tram was only new to the job and I could'nt for the life of me understand why there was not an instructor on the tram helping and instructing the inexperienced driver.The outside of the tram was green in colour and whilst we lifted the tram it appeared to be 50% shorter in length and the window frames where the diners were located was made out of wood that had been carved to form fancy patterns and shapes.

After I Woke Up
(I went to the loungeroom and told my wife about the dream,on this morning she was going to be off to the market to do shopping and would be catching a tram to get there.After I told her about my dream she decided against going by tram and caught the bus instead.At about 2.20pm my mum called me to talk about my music,she also mentioned that she saw on the news that there was a bad tram crash that happened at around 10am that morning in st kilda rd,Melbourne.Later this day I saw the news and it said the crash involved 2 trams,12 people were injured and taken to hospital including 1 of the tram drivers who was seriously injured.
A tram was waiting at an intersection with traffic lights and another tram of the same type slammed into the back of it at high speed,the trams were both long double trams which were white in colour with a thick 'green' line pattern (at least 2-3 foot in width) which run the length of the trams.These lines were on both sides of the trams).
My Thoughts
There's obviously inconsistencies between my dream and the actual tram accident ,but I believe certain elements in my dream were symbols that meant something else.For instance the diners I mentioned,this would be a symbol meaning that there were some passengers maybe having a snack,sipping on cans/bottols of drink.The tram was a double tram like the one in my dreams but the real trams were newer models which look more modern.I had the colour scheme partially correct with the colour green but the main background colour of the trams was white but had the large green line pattern that run the length of the trams,also in my dream there was only 1 tram but the actual incident involved 2 trams.
In my dream the tram was travelling too fast and in the actual accident the second tram was travelling at a high speed when it slammed into the back of the tram at the intersection.In my dream it referred to the driver as inexperienced,I believe it was meaning to say that the driver of the second tram was at fault,was probably distracted and not fully aware of what was going on,which could be an indication of a less experienced driver'.In my dream the accident occurred at a major intersection with traffic lights just like the actual accident,in my dream the accident occurred in the city of Geelong but the actual incident happened in Melbourne which is about 70-80km's from Geelong.The city of Geelong does not have trams but I was having another dream at the time and the tram jus seemed to come out of nowhere.
My dream occurred at about 9am that morning,about 1 hour before the actual tram accident".
