Yep. Saw it. Then saw the perpetrator, on London news, a few days later. Got in touch with Police at the time. Just incriminating myself. They kept asking why I knew about it.

I had a very brief dream in which a actor from a favorite show, now dead (actor & show, both) told me "You have two years." This was last February, so if the dream image was reporting truthfully, I've got ~1.5 years.
All other details missing because there are none.
Not prophetic exactly, but yesterday morning I awoke from a dream in which I heard the expression 'Froxmer Street'. All day I had the term on my mind.
I knew it was a place in Manchester from where the moors murderers abducted their first victim. (I mentioned this on the 'Dreams' thread yesterday.)
Anyway... today is the anniversary of that abduction. Not yesterday, but still a bit spooky. I didn't know that until this afternoon.
Who was the actor and which show was it? This might be relevant.
Like, if I personally were to dream of, say, Daisy Duke telling me I don't have long I'd be wondering if it was a message from my subconscious telling me I should be driving more carefully.
It was the late Jerry Doyle, who himself died just after reaching 66. He played Security Chief Michael Garibaldi on a favorite old science fiction show in the 90's. You know how it's normal now for a show to have a whole story arch that it pursues, instead of just a bunch of episodes tied together by the characters but not really forming a coherent thread? That started with Babylon 5.
The character is noted for his frequently calm, serious, deadpan delivery.
The dream image did not look like the man when he died. He looked thinner, and a tad leathery, as if he'd been dead for a while himself (which in the RW he had).
The entire canon, films and all were recently broadcast in the UK. Was really good to see it again.God, I loved Babylon 5.
Maybe the Shadows are coming?
^those things^Great character development in several characters. Very three-dimensional, real, heroic and flawed persons portrayed.
Good point that.I concur about Babylon 5! The remake of BSG (which was also brilliant) has a lot to thank it for, I think!
I would have happily worshipped Delenn at the time and my heart bled for Lennier's noble if unrequited love.My young teenage self would have certainly been happy to receive a message from Marcus Cole, even if it had been a death knell. Probably less so Garibaldi!
I very rarely remember my dreams, but I was awoken by my wife stirring at about 0500 today with the following in my mind:
I was the invisible observer of a scene. A railway track with an oncoming train on it stretched off into the distance. Human figures were lying on the tracks, some lengthwise, some at right angles to the tracks. I seem to remember that they were naked or lightly clothed. I believe that there were woods on the far side of the tracks.
In the foreground, a burly white police officer was trying to persuade a civilian to help him to rescue the people from the onrushing train. His uniform, and the look of the train, suggested the USA to me.
The train killed or maimed two or three people before the officer could enlist the man's help. They then tried to drag one potential victim from the track, but the loco struck the supine man before they could accomplish the rescue. My last view was of the engine dragging the three people down the track away from me, leaving a wide streak of blood behind it.
I'm not interested in trains, and I don't recall any specific recent stimulus that might have put such a scene into my head.

This is a left-field suggestion but before dreaming about this, had you by any chance been reading about any ethical-logical conundrums? Your dream sounds a bit like the train/trolley thought experiment. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trolley_problem
I find that some things I've seen/read/heard translate very vividly into dreamscapes; for example a computer game set in a twilight forest, all very cute and with Arthurian themes somehow translated to a dream of being in a wooded area so dark I could not see past a few feet and being aware of leaping deer as they passed me by.
Great character development in several characters. Very three-dimensional, real, heroic and flawed persons portrayed.
BTW: The dream cited has little chance to say anything about me, for the following reason: It occurred when I dozed for a minute in the early morning, utterly without context. The described statement, made by the described person, constitutes the entirety of the dream.
If I'm dead in February 2020, I'll be sure to log in & tell you!
