Sara - I do feel that this was a prcognitive dream. I am also not usre why, but you were being given information about your friend being sick (which evidently even he was not aware of). There really was no indicatin here that you were to "do" anything ith the information. I would advise keeping a deram journal, and writing down the images and symbols that cme to you in dreamitme. You will start to see patterms and connections, and this, I feel, is what is importance. My condolences over the loss of your friend.
