Superstitions

I was going to post to see if anyone had any problems with this being Friday the 13th but then I figured it might be a good arena to ask something else.
I had a dream that someone very close to me died. I haven't had a disturbing dream like that in a while and for some reason I still can't get it out of my head....this person is an important figure in my life.
Then a bird flew into a building my husband is opening up a business in up here. It crashed into a few walls and flew out. This happened as soon as I left yesterday. I didn't think much of it because I'm not the superstitious type..but everyone started telling me it means death is forthcoming.
I googled it and on one forum someone even suggested KILLING the bird before allowing it to leave....don't get me wrong I could never do that at all. I'm just tryong to point out how serious some people find this.
The thread is here:
http://www.city-data.com/forum/other...ird-house.html
I guess I'm a little shaken up though...I hate to admit this because I think these things are silly....do any of you believe in superstitions?

I've often noticed that the things we fear most never come about. Then it is just unneeded stress that shortens our lives and robs us of enjoying the here and now.

I have a very firm belief in not stressing over something I have no control over. It took me a long time to come to grips with that and I still struggle with it occasionally because I am human. I just have to keep reminding my to not worry about something, someone, or a situation I cannot control.

i dont believe in that kind of stuff at all. but in a dream book death means you are putting something that bothers you to rest.

Nicole, I didn't even realize it was Friday, 13th. I am not superstitious. I have my share of bad days and they are usually that way either because that is what I make of them or there is something beyond my control that makes it a bad day. I try to give each day it's own beginning but sometimes that can be really hard to do and I admit I've failed on occasion. I hope everybody has a great day today.

We wish him a safe and speedy return.


I have actually found herpers to be quite superstitious whether they admit it or not. When field herping, noone ever seems to keep the first catch of the day. Bad karma. Personally, I don't work in the hot room after a bite dream.
