I walked into the living room where my husband was working on his computer. I told him, "There will be another plane crash, but everyone will be safe. The flight will be okay." Sure enough, the very next day, I saw on X (formerly Twitter) that an airplane in Chicago had experienced precisely what I had dreamt.

The pilot acted swiftly, pulling the plane back into the air to avoid disaster. Everyone was safe.

I was chatting and enjoying the peacefulness of the morning. I did notice the branch sticking out, but I dismissed it as a mere weed or broken stick.
I was wrong.
