Catulle Mendès and his deadly dream

https://buymeacoffee.com/cuentososcuros
Did Catulle Mendès dream of his own death? At a dinner with friends at the American café in 1899, Mendès appeared especially gloomy. He revealed that he suspected he wouldn’t live to see the end of the century. 'I’ve had a terrible nightmare: I dreamt I was dying inside a tunnel, on a railway track, and I was bleeding heavily!' His friends tried to console him, but ten years later he suffered a strange accident. Mendès fell from a train carriage, and a wheel severed his foot. Like in his dream, he bled to death in a tunnel, on the railway track. Was Mendès' dream a real prediction or just a coincidence?"
