Am I paranoid or did I have a possible premonition?

Last night I had a dream I was outside with one of my boys and we had two bearded dragons with us. there were a few other people around, but not with us. Anyways, I saw a bomb off in the distance falling to the earth. it was huge and black and then it crashed and flames erupted everywhere . we didn’t get hurt. We grabbed the lizards and ran home.

Fast-forward to this morning. In real life. I went on a post secondary school tour with that same son this morning. At the office of the school there was an aquarium with two lizards, but they weren’t bearded dragons. We did the tour and there were some other people around. After the tour I drove to work and on the news it said that seven airports in Canada had bomb threats for today including Pearson airport, which is near where I live and work

Am I paranoid or was this like what they call a premonition?

I haven't heard that report either. I need to learn the phrase, post-secondary school, is that like our college?

@samueltyler2 it’s any type of schooling you would take after you finish high school. University, college, etc..

@Jenny1234 is college not part of the phrase university?

@samueltyler2 where I live college is like a community college two year program and university is university. Different levels but all good

@Jenny1234 nothing wrong with community colleges, they can be less expensive and provide a easier path to a full college education.

@samueltyler2 Hi Sam -- Yes, in most of the world outside the US, the word "college" is not the same as "university" like it is here. "Colleges" for the most part are what we would call a junior college or a community college, and sometimes even a trade school. "University" referrs to four-year institutions that issue baccalaureate degrees and higher. That's actually why, given the international nature of social media, that I almost always use the word university rather than college (for clarity).

@sarabee1995 thanks for the clarification. I also get confuse with high school as a US term, not European. In some countries they go from the equivalent of our high school to Medical School

@samueltyler2 Yup. Very different systems over there. In Germany, they test and rank your aptitude sometimes as young as (I think) 13 or 14 and based on that determine at that age if you are going to university or trade school. From our perspective here it seems quite odd. But to them, I'm sure our system seems strange. 🤷‍♀

@sarabee1995 I am not one to argue which is best. I was not ready at age 18 to enter medical school!

sarabee1995 · 26-30, FVIP

@samueltyler2 Well it likely would've been the equivelent of what we would call pre-med, but it would be a single track for six or eight years leading right through what you know as actual med school.
