Hell Gate Bridge 1916

Here is something strange for you all to contemplate:

I had a dream one night that I was swimming in the water. I was drowning because I'd fallen off a bridge. The bridge above me was under construction and was not yet finished. It was a swooping bridge that went over water. In the dream, I knew it was 1916, and the bridge would be for a train to go across, and that I was in New York.

Well, when I woke up I was curious. For some reason the image of this bridge stuck in my mind. So, I wrote down what I knew from the dream and looked for pictures of bridges that looked like the one I remembered in Google images. I found an image that was in black and white and matched my memory perfectly. When I clicked on the link, I found out this bridge was called Hell Gate Bridge, which was finished in September of 1916, and was in New York.

I told my mom, and she could hardly believe it. She thought I was making it up at first. She was shocked my dream was actually backed up by facts.

To this day, the bridge is functioning, carrying trains across the water. I'm not sure the validity of me feeling like I'd fallen off and was drowning. I couldn't find anything about a worker drowning.

Look up Hell Gate Bridge 1916 and you'll see what I mean. It's eerie, really.

Wow, that's crazy. Thanks for sharing that link Scotch. There is definitely something strange about that dream, and I have a suspicion there's more to it than I understand right now.

I will. Hey, I did have another dream that same night about 1764. It was during some kind of battle around the NE United States. It wasn't as detailed, and I couldn't really find anything about it. But I figure hey, if my 1916 dream was so real, then maybe this one is too. :)

Hey... this is interesting. This kind of stuff happens in past life regressions sessions. Happy for you. Do keep us updated.

I read a little bit about this, and there are multiple drownings around the Hell Gate Bridge. They have put up fencing because the current is so strong. It would be hard, although not impossible to find a record of a death around 1916. I know just from what I have read, it is dangerous around the East River. That area is well known for drownings, I assume that there are even people who have never been accounted, who have drowned...especially in those days.

Wow, thanks Colorado! That's really helpful. I thought that I must have been some sort of worker since my memory was littered with facts about when the bridge would be done, but maybe not. Either way, it's good to know.

any new dream, phoenix???

Lets check to see if any of the workers drowned during the construction of the bridge....these cases always fascinate me because I also have had dreams, especially as a youngster of things I wrote off...until years and years later...they came up as fact. Freaky! Im going to look around on the web & see if I can find anything more on this subject.
