How would you/would you not approach someone you hadn’t spoken to in YEARS, but you had a bad dream about them you couldn’t shake?

I am not normally a woo-woo person who believes in dream stuff, except when I am pregnant/post partum. I have on 2 occasions while pregnant, and 3 occasions newly post-partum had dreams that basically turned out to be premonitions… and now I can’t tell if I’m just having post-partum anxiety or if I shouldn’t ignore it.

For context as to why I’m not just straight forward messaging this person, I haven’t actually spoken to this person in like 15 years. Back in high school we were very close friends who were kind of crushing on each other, but his ex was a mutual friend of ours so I never crossed that line. Eventually he agreed to set me up with one of his closest friends. That friend and I went to the same university, continued dating, and got married. We lost touch over university years- last I talked to him he had just met the woman he’s now married to.

About 2 weeks ago I dreamed that he was burning. Like, everywhere covered in horrible burns. This is significant because when we were young, he intentionally burned himself really badly during a period of grief. He had no issues with self harm before that, or after that (that I knew of). I have tried to ignore the dream, but I can’t seem to let it go. I’m terrified it means something. I keep checking his social media to see if he’s been active in the past few days (not messaging or anything) just to make sure he’s ok.

I feel so deeply uncomfortable and like a total weirdo messaging this man to check in on him. I keep telling myself he’s not a little boy anymore, and I’m not even one of his real friends anymore, so it’s not my business… but at the same time, we still follow each other on social media, so is it totally crazy bananas to message him to check in just to make myself feel better? I just want this feeling of dread to go away. I’m 4 months Post Partum, and I know it’s likely anxiety, but I’m fine in all other realms of my life… just this really weird thing I’m hung up on.

TLDR: I had a bad dream that a friend from high school was in danger, and the fact that I’m post partum and have had dreams like this come true has me believing it was a premonition. I feel deeply uncomfortable reaching out to this person to check on them, but I also can’t seem to let the feeling of dread go. I’m no longer in their life, but I still care about their wellbeing as a person, you know?
