When People Dream of Someone's Death at the Same Time the Person Dies Far Away

 Below is a newspaper account of a sister who had a dream of a young brother's death far away, on the same night or day that the death occurred:

On the same 1907 page there is a story that is now ironic, for it boasts about how the Luisitania has set a speed record. The same ship was sunk during World War I. 

Below is an account of someone having a dream of someone's death at the same time that person was dying far away. It is from page 579 of the September 5, 1935 edition of the periodical Light, which can be read here. The "he went over the top" reference refers to leaving a trench to make an attack during World War I, something that often resulted in the death of the attacker.

Here is a similar account, from page 331 of the May 23, 1935 edition of the periodical Light, which can be read here:

"Amalia Burzio, a peasant woman of Passignana (Valenza) dreamed of the death of her mother who lived near Novara. On awaking she told her husband of the dream, and he tried in vain to calm her distress. The following afternoon she received a telegram informing her that her mother had died suddenly in the night, exactly at the hour of her dream."

The accounts below are mentioned on page 771 of the December 1, 1933 edition of the periodical Light, which you can read here:

Below is another account of someone dreaming of someone's death on the night of that person's death:

Given the reported chronology here, the dream of a son drowning at a distant location seems to have occurred about when the drowning occurred.  We read that the body was returned a few hours after the death, and also that this was a few hours after the father had a dream of the son's death.

On page 311 of the September 23, 1916 edition of the periodical Light, which you can read here, we read the following:

"Another lady, Marguerite Ober, of the Metropolitan Opera Company, writes : At the beginning of this awful war I had a friend who volunteered his services to the French. One night, in the midst of a dead sleep, a vision of him came to me suddenly, as distinct as if the scene were photographed and flung on the wall . I saw him wounded, lying in a trench, his life flowing away. The vision lasted for perhaps a minute and then faced out. I rose, turned on the light, and immediately wrote to a friend in France. ' I know that Bruno Seyler is dead ,'  I wrote ; tell me the details .'  My letter passed, in mid-ocean, a letter from a friend telling me of Bruno's death, and every detail was precisely as I had dreamed it."

The newspaper report below from 1887 (which you can read here) describes a son who had a dream that seemed to depict his father dying at sea in a ship. The father was captain of a ship named the Muskoka. We read at the end of the account, "The Muskoka is missing and given up as lost."

The account below is from the year 1900, and can be read here. We read of a brother who had a dream of his sister's death far away, about the same time it happened. 


Below is a newspaper account from 1913 you can read here:

dream of sister''s death

Below is a 1909 newspaper account you can read here. Although it does not have the simultaneity mentioned in my title, it is close enough to deserve inclusion in this post. 

"An instance of what seems to be a remarkable proof of unusual psychic phenomena has occurred in this city in connection with the death of Chester N. Jessie, a 19 year old lad who was accidentally killed in a landslide at Eugene, Ore,, last Thursday. Mrs. Carlton N. Davis of 1050 Stanyan street, wife of a local businessman, and a sister of the decedent, had a mental vision of her brother's death the day following the accident, and before news of the tragic occurrence reached her."
