I used to do dream memory excercises and at some point I was able to remember two-three dreams every night. It was actually really difficult to deal with since after a while my real memories started blending in with the dreams.
when i was in my early twenties i was working three jobs and had vary little sleep. I kept having this dream where i found my wife in the tub filled with blood.
it would freak me out every damn time. happened like clockwork every weekend same dream any time i would have more than 5 hours to sleep.
Well. little did i know amanda was having trouble. one day she had come home from work bleeding and having terrible pain in her abdomen. We didn't have healthcare at the time and she didn't want to go to a doctor. But i was paranoid.. cause this stupid vision wouldn't let me alone.
The day before thanksgiving we didn't have a choice had to call the ambulance and she was in screaming pain. bleeding and feeling cold. (sign of extreme blood loss) It was an ectopic pregnancy. we had been careful never thought it could have been related to that. but the doctor/surgeon had come out after surgery said that they had filled a tub with the blood. almost three liters. she took two.
I always think about that this time of year. ... Why did i plainly ignore it? .. needless to say I haven't had a repeating dream like that since....
blame lack of sleep or.. just plain being at the end of a short rope lol. but i guess when you young and have no idea what your doing.. I realise it could have been a much worse nightmare.

Sleep deprivation can do strange things to the human mind. I remember an episode of "Star Trek: The Next Generation" in which the Enterprise got trapped in a spacial anomaly along with an alien ship crewed by telepaths whose telepathic messages caused Deanna Troi to have nightmares and prevented the rest of the crew from getting any sleep -- within 72 hours, all non-Betazoid crew members (except for Data who was an android) started having vivid hallucinations. Fortunately, I remembered that episode a few years later when I had little or no sleep for 72 hours (due to pain, I think) prior to driving somewhere important (probably my doctor's office) when I suddenly saw the cab from a tractor trailer in my lane facing me -- I instantly knew that the truck wasn't real, because real trucks don't suddenly appear from nowhere right in front of you -- I closed my eyes for a moment -- when I reopened my eyes, the truck was gone. I never even hit my brakes because of the hallucination, since I instantly knew it wasn't real.
Regarding, your nightmare, somebody who believes in psychic abilities could say that you might have had a premonition, possibly inspired by subconscious clues about your wife's health, while a Christian could say that you might've had a divinely-inspired vision.
