TLDR: I’m a pilot, my dream this morning was an Omen for a near death experience that I had today.

This is my first post.

This morning I had a vivid and surreal dream that felt close to reality.

I was in the main entry way of my parent’s house. However inside the main entry way, there was a limestone Nasone type of water fountain. The stone matched the tile of the entry way. However, this fountain was slightly different in the sense that instead of constantly running water, it had a cast iron pump handle that would only dispense water as you are pumping it into the catch basin that had four metal bars across it for resting large vessels.

My parents, my brother, and I were standing around the fountain, and I am pumping water. The water coming from the spout has a brownish tinge to it, I recall mentioning because the source has dead leafs in it, they are leeching tannins in the water. (I don’t know where the water source is located, but I know leeching tannins in water are safe to drink, thanks to an outdoorboys video lol).

In the middle of this interaction, the front door creaked open slowly and in the doorway is a black wolf, with some brown spotting on its facial fur. It is not immediately hostile, instead it was hesitant and looked hungry and thirsty. My family backs away from the door which is about 8ft away and the wolf gingerly walks towards me, still at the fountain. It sniffs the water spout, and I begin pumping. It drinks the water as I pump it, then after only a few moments, it goes back to the door and leaves out of sight.

That’s when I woke up to my alarm clock.

I understand that black wolves can represent a great deal of things in traditional dream interpretation, normally I’m not into these sort of things, however this dream has left me trying to figure out what I am trying to understand from it all.

**Update: I figured out what my dream means.**

I currently attend a flight school and I am on the cusp of trying for my commercial pilots license. Today, the same day as my dream. I was scheduled to fly with my instructor to go out and practice the commercial maneuvers.

During my preflight, I was sumping the fuel tanks to check for fuel quality. This is standard preflight procedure in GA. While sumping the right fuel tank, there was brown water coming out of it. This is normal to happen when it rains, especially with how much rain has been occurring in the DFW, TX area lately. When this happens, you just discard the contaminated fuel and continue to sump the fuel until it runs pure again.

The fuel tank easily had a 1/2 cup of water in it. I had to flush the system at least 10 times. Then I double and triple checked when the fuel was already coming out with no water in it.

I told my dream to my flight instructor and told him about the fuel issues. I explained that I was a bit freaked out by the coincidence, but we decided to go anyway.

WELL, about an hour into my flight while I’m only 1800ft above the ground, the engine started running quite rough. We run the emergency checklist, making sure the engine driven fuel pump isn’t malfunctioning. The engine is producing about half its normal power. We engaged the auxiliary fuel pump (electrically driven, not powered by the engine).

For about 45 seconds the engine continued to shutter and sputter as the water was making its way through the engine. By then we have already turned back towards a nearby airport, run emergency checklists, and are making preparations for the possibility of total engine failure if there was a pump malfunction. But the roughness stopped. We turned tail back to my home airport, climbed back up to a decent altitude, and got back safely without needing to declare an emergency.

Needless to say, I’m freaked the fuck out rn. I’m damn sure I know what that dream meant now. It was a warning for a near death experience in 12 hours. I wish that I was making it up.
