Not ESP, but I did have a dream. I usually don't remember my dreams (if I slept more, maybe I would dream more . . . ), but in 2002 I had an extremely vivid dream. I was riding in the back seat of a dune buggy with three other people who I couldn't see. We were in the hills near Telluride and there was a fall dusting of snow on the ground. The driver drove over to a cliff face, goosed the accelerator, and we started going straight up. I was shocked at the impossibility of it, but my wonder quickly gave way to incredible fear as I realized we were already about 500 feet up. I yelled at the driver to stop, but he didn't pay any attention, so I ducked my head down and held very, very still -- I knew that even the slightest movement would send us falling to our deaths. I hunkered, scared out of my mind, for a long time. Suddenly, the dune buggy reached the top, which was flat, and we were completely safe. Several months later that year we moved, after I'd been laid off, from Seattle to Cincinnati on the strong possibility of two jobs. Nothing was happening in Seattle, so it looked like a good thing because housing was also cheaper in Ohio. We got there only to find we'd purchased the house from hell, and both jobs evaporated. My wife and I tried for almost three years to get jobs, but all we could turn up was periodic work. Our taxable incomes for '04 and '05 were $12,000 -- for a family of four. There we were thousands of miles from home (Seattle), going deeper and deeper into debt, and crazy scared. Late in '05, I got an email from a guy I'd worked with in Seattle. He said he'd heard we'd like to move back, and that the company he was with had been looking for someone like me for three months. Was I interested? Oh, and it paid a lot more money than I'd been making before I was laid off. One interview over the phone with his boss and I was hired. Off of the cliff face onto the top, completely safe.
