i think it to be an out-of-body experience...i woke up to see myself lying in bed after the telephone in the den room of the 2-story house i was living in rang...i picked up the phone and said hello...i recognized the voice on the other line immediately...kim said that i didn't have to worry about her anymore since she had found a better place...i said okay and told her to keep in touch with me and we hung up...the following night i was coming home from working 2nd shift and heard on the radio that Kim had died...do you know how many persons with her last name there are?...on my way home i saw a shooting star...i had been told that if you see a shooting star that that is a sign that someone has died...i truly believe that because as the radio dj said Kim's name, a shooting star flew overhead...i got home and my dad broke the sad news to me...i didn't believe him so he had a police officer come and talk to me about it...to this day i still can't believe she is gone
