Don't fall...

ventaIf you have no truck with Weird Shit, this post is probably best left alone.
One night a couple of weeks ago, I I dreamed about my dad. I don't remember dreams often, and they rarely make coherent sense, so this one was unusual.
I dreamed my dad was walking through town, when some form of explosion threw him across the market place in front of me. He landed on his back, his neck snapping at a horrible angle. As I ran across to where he'd landed, I told myself repeatedly that there was no point hoping, anyone who landed like that would be dead. I leant over him, and he opened his eyes, telling me he was fine.
On waking, I briefly considered ringing home to see if all was ok with him - then I didn't, as I figured I'd sound like a nutter. When I next spoke to my parents a couple of days later, my dad was just on the mend after a spell in bed - he'd hurt himself falling backwards over some speakers while dismantling a sound rig.
This kind of thing (where this = prophecy or delusion, depending on your take) runs in my family.
However. Here's the problem:
Last night, I dream about a friend of mine. We're at a party, sitting on opposite sides of the room. People are milling about in between, talking and drinking, and I notice that my friend is quietly asphyxiating. No one notices as they slump off the sofa onto the floor.
As a result, I'm kind of worried about them. But a little vague on what to do. This is someone I don't know all that well, I'd hate to fill their inbox with insane ramblings. Even if there is something up, I've no idea if me intruding would be welcome.
(If you're reading, and this sounds like you, drop me a line, huh ?)

One of the things that I find about Those Kinds of dreams is that they're really disturbing when you have them, and you worry about it a lot, but usually things don't turn out exactly like they do in the dream - if you contacted them you'd probably find out that they'd got a bad bout of hayfever or were upset about something, or had choked on some coffee or something like that.
If it makes you feel better, then find a spurious reason to contact them/get a friend to do so. If they are feeling upset about something or ill then it might even help them - it's nice to know that people are thinking about you.
(Out of curiosity, is it only violent/life threatening things that you/your family see?)
