My Dream
I had the "Clinton" dream on the night of October 1st, 2004, and at first I thought it was just a silly dream. I'd been babysitting for former President Clinton's grandson, in the dream. He was a little dark haired, dark eyed boy of about 4 or 5 years of age.
Within a day or so of the dream, I received a missing person alert through one of the moderators of a Yahoo group that I am a member of. As soon as I read the article the Clinton dream swept back into my mind. Could it be about this is missing boy? Instinct said, yes, it was about him.
But what should I do? How should I approach the other members of the Yahoo group? Some had seemed open to "psychic information" in the past. Others had not. Did it matter what any of them thought? .... I continued to wonder for awhile, and finally decided it really did not matter in the least whether any of the members believed. I had an obligation to tell what had come to me in a dream, and so I did.
I wrote the story up, showed how the dream went hand in hand with the missing person report, and even ventured as far as to pin point areas that I felt were important in the search for the missing boy.
The entire story became part of this web site, and can be found in the "links" section at the bottom of this page under the title John Thrasher.
After checking with the person who had originally sent the information, to determine whether he wanted me to send it or not; and being told to send it, I sent it to the entire Yahoo group as well as the news paper in Tennessee which had done the article on the missing boy.
That was on October 7th, 2004. Today is October 12, 2004. There has been absolutely no response of any kind from anyone ..... not one single member of the Yahoo group, not the news paper, not the police, no one.
Meanwhile
Unknown to me, the night of October 2nd, 2004, a teenage girl in the state of Washington was in trouble. She had gone to a party and failed to return home.
Some said she was injured; others thought she'd been abducted, but the police ..... those individuals trained to help people in their hour of need ..... they immediately said "run-a-way."
That figured. Every time a woman disappeared in this entire nation, they were immediately classed as a run a way. I'd been raising hell about it here in my own area for years, but it didn't do any good. Nothing did any good here, and now it was beginning to look as if it affected the entire nation.
But I didn't find out about Laura Hatch's disappearance until she was found ..... and then I learned of something else too ....
A dream had directed the woman who actually found Laura.
I listened to the story for the first time on October 11th, 2004 on WGN TV {Chicago} and was so fascinated that I forgot to write down the girl's name or even the town or state in which she lived!
A computer search revealed that I didn't have enough information to track the story down, so I fretted about it the entire night of October 11th, and turned the tv on as soon as I got up today {Oct 12} to see if the story would be repeated. And it was! This time I had pen and paper in hand .....

Redmond Teen Missing Eight Days Found In Wrecked Car:
REDMOND, Wash. - A Redmond teenager missing for eight days was found alive by a woman who said prayer and dreams led her to the girl's wrecked car.
17-year-old Laura Hatch was found Sunday in her 1996 Toyota Camry. The smashed-up car was about 150 feet over the embankment in the 20200 block of NE Union Hill Road in Redmond.
Hatch had last been seen at a party in downtown Redmond the evening of Oct. 2.
About 200 family members and friends had been out searching for the missing teenager. Hatch's pastor, Randy Phillips, said a friend of the family had a vision and led them directly to the teen and her wrecked car.
Sha Nohr, a member of Creekside Covenant Church and mother of a friend of Hatch, said she had vivid dreams of a wooded area with the message, “Keep going, keep going.”
After joining the search, Nohr said she prayed and stopped twice along the way and made two stops. At the second stop, something drew her to clamber over a concrete barrier and more than 100 feet down a steep, densely vegetated embankment. From there she was barely able to see the wrecked car in some trees.
The King County Sheriff's Dept. said Hatch was alert and conscious, but dehydrated. Sheriff's Sgt. John Urquhart said she evidently went eight days without food or water.
Evidence indicated that Hatch's car left the roadway and was airborne before striking trees and dead snags 12 to 15 feet above the hillside.
After tumbling down the hillside, the car landed on its wheels, facing uphill with the trunk resting against a tree; preventing it from tumbling the additional 200 feet to the base of the hill.
Hatch was taken to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle, where she was being treated for dehydration, a blood clot near her brain and facial injuries. She was last listed in serious condition.
On Monday, Dr. Richard Ellenbogen said he had not way of explaining how Hatch survived for eight days without food or water, but said her dehydration may have prevented the blood clot from causing bigger problems for her.
"The way we normally treat that is to dehydrate the brain," Ellenbogen said.
Hatch was also not wearing a seatbelt, a factor some said may also have contributed to her survival because she was thrown into the back seat of the car. The car's driver's compartment was badly damaged when the vehicle rolled down the embankment.
"We were afraid that we weren't going to find her, we weren't going to get her back," said Laura's sister, Amy. "This is the best thing that could happen because there were a million awful scenarios."
"We had already given her up at some point and let her be dead, in our hearts, then we would go back and hope again, you know, and then you have to release her again, so I know how a parent feels that loses their child," said Laura's mother, Jean.
Urquhart said there was never any police search because there was no indication of foul play, and authorities thought she was most likely a runaway.
Article #2 / Associated Press - SEATTLE
A 17-year-old girl who survived eight days after her car crashed and tumbled 200 feet down a ravine may have been saved by her own dehydration, which prevented the expansion of a blood clot in her brain, doctors said.
Laura Hatch’s family had almost given her up for dead, and sheriff’s deputies had all but written her off as a runaway. Then she was found, badly hurt and severely dehydrated, but alive and conscious, in the back seat of her crumpled Toyota Camry.
A volunteer searcher who said she had had several vivid dreams of a wooded area found the wrecked car in the trees Sunday.
“It’s an extraordinary tale of survival,” said King County sheriff’s Sgt. John Urquhart.
Dr. Richard G. Ellenbogen, chief neurosurgeon at Harborview Medical Center, said a blood clot toward the right rear side of Hatch’s brain from the crash could have proved fatal had it grown. It probably remained small because of her dehydration, he said.
“It doesn't’t always work out like that,” Ellenbogen said. “This is a good story. We’re hoping it has a really happy ending.”
Hatch remained in serious condition Monday in the hospital’s intensive care unit, a day after she was found in Redmond, a suburb east of the city.
Ellenbogen said Hatch was disoriented, thinking only a day had passed and unable to remember the crash or what she did in the days before she was rescued, but managed to joke with him.
He described her as articulate and clever, adding, “she’s in amazing shape for someone lost for eight days.”
Doctors were re-hydrating Hatch while carefully monitoring her condition, and the blood clot could dissolve on its own, Ellenbogen said. Broken bones around Hatch’s left eye could require surgery.
Hatch was last seen at a party on Oct. 2. When she did not show up by the next day, her family filed a missing person’s report.
Urquhart said Hatch apparently was speeding along a steep, winding two-lane road and “managed to find an open space between two guardrails.”
The initial search was slowed because there had been underage drinking at the party, and the young people who attended would not say where it had been held, Urquhart said.
Police say the teen was found in the back seat of the car.
On Oct. 6, detectives learned the party had been in a neighborhood east of Lake Washington and searched along her likely route home, Urquhart said. But prospects dimmed as the days passed.
“We had already given her up and let her be dead in our hearts,” said her mother, Jean Hatch.
During the search, a statewide bulletin was released and advisories were sent to local police agencies. But Urquhart said family and friends indicated “the most likely scenario was that she was a runaway.”
Hatch’s parents organized a volunteer search Saturday, and that night Sha Nohr, the mother of Hatch’s friend, said she had dreams of a wooded area and heard the message, “Keep going, keep going.”
On Sunday morning, Nohr and her daughter drove to the area where the crash occurred, praying along the way. “I just thought, ‘Let her speak out to us,’” Nohr told The Seattle Times.
Nohr said something drew her to stop and clamber over a concrete barrier and more than 100 feet down a steep, densely vegetated embankment where she barely managed to discern the wrecked car in some trees.
A call Monday to the family home in Redmond was answered by one of Hatch’s sisters, who declined comment.
I Thank God
I thank God for allowing the dream to come to someone who knew Laura Hatch, and for allowing that person to be close enough so that she could actually go out and search the area. If she had not gone on her own, Laura would surely have died and it might have been years before her vehicle was ever found.
Although I do not know Sha Nohr, I would personally like to thank her for listening to her dreams and doing as she was instructed.
I pray that Laura Hatch will make a full recovery ..... and I predict that she will, because I think the Lord has something in mind for her.
And I thank God for sending me dreams ...... dreams of missing people. I have faithfully written the dreams up and sent them to those who are in charge, and those who should care enough to go out and look for the missing ones. Almost without exception my letters and emails have been ignored, ridiculed and rejected as craziness. This, of course, hurts my feelings, but of far greater importance is the fact that it aids and abets criminals who might otherwise be apprehended. And it sometimes dooms people such as Laura Hatch to certain death. For this I am so very sorry, but in my heart I know that God knows how hard and how often I have tried.
Some of my dreams {as well as other people's dreams that I have interpreted} can be found on this web site under the titles .... "Dreams Panned-Out Series," ... "Without A Trace Series" ..... and "Lookin' For A Killer Series." Most of these are "web site specials" that do not appear in my Pure Coincidence book series. There are also many story clips on this web site from the Pure Coincidence series. Those can be found at "Pure Coincidence."
I have been a Prophetic and Revelationary dreamer my entire life and have been a dream interpretor since I was about 12 years old.

"This story has been added to my "Dreams Panned-Out Series" today ... October 12th, 2004:
Note: In recent weeks I have been contacted by a member of John Thrasher's family: He remains missing: His name is not Johnathan, as was originally reported. His name is John Thrasher. There has been no word of any kind about this young man since the day he disappeared, more than a year ago at this time. I know that someone knows what happened to this kid, and his family needs answers. His father has already passed away with no news on his son, and I'm told he died of a broken heart and grieving for his son. There are other family members. Won't someone please speak up and tell us where John is? Even if he's dead, it's better to know than to spend a lifetime wondering, so come on, whoever knows send me an anonymous email and tell me where John Thrasher is. Sure you can do that. Go to any library and send it. Thank you. / Bonnie
