Same Dream

I discovered earlier this week that my best friend of three years has been connected to me for longer than we've known each other.

When I was a child, somewhere between 2000 and 2002, I had a dream that was all too real to be a dream. It involved a centaur/giant holding a woman and everything was disproportionate. It was absolutely horrifying and both of us woke up screaming and crying. My best friend had been telling me about it and I finished telling her exactly the same dream because I had the same one. We did the math and found out it was at the same exact time as well.

Here are my questions to you all:

1. There were other kids in my dream. If I saw them, I'd recognize them, but I can't recall them now. How do I find them?

2. I'm pretty sure it was astral-projection, not a dream. Where could we have gone? Hell? Limbo? Can I astral-project back safely to see more information so I can find them? Would it be safe?

3. Why did it happen and why do I need to find them? Or DO I need to find them? Is my best friend the only one I was supposed to find? What was the purpose of the astral-projection even though we were kids?

4. I did a tarot reading about it. The cards said that if I wait and let everything go in the hands of the higher being it would be too late by the time I found the answer. How do I kickstart finding that answer?

If you were between the ages of four and eight at that time and had a similar dream, email me (it's listed on my profile). If you can tell me the rest of the dream accurately because you were there too, we need to talk and figure this all out together.
