Help! DH having general anaesthetic. Friend dreamt he died!

My DH is having a fairly minor surgery under GA the week after next. I was already quite anxious about it. Then last night he told me that his friend who lives in the US sent a message saying he'd had a weird dream of being notified of his death and to let him know he was still alive! This friend had no knowledge of the upcoming op so it was totally random, and I don't know any more details.

The thing that freaks me out is that in 2021 I had a dream that a close friend of mine who I wasn't in regular contact with had died and I was late to his funeral. I subsequently found out that he HAD died around the time I had my dream.

AIBU to find it hard not to worry about this? How can I talk myself down? DH just finds it funny!

According to google dreamin of death is not a premonition of an actual death but of a big life change. I had to Google it cos I dreamed I died.

I had a really upsetting dream of my granddaughter being trapped in rubble after a gas explosion. My DD has since moved house.
I had a very clear dream of my DP dying. I was cleaning the oven, he was reaching into the top cupboard for a viscount, stopped talking, I looked up, he had died from a massive heart attack. He had arterial episodes, but was responding to treatment. We moved the biscuits out of that cupboard and he never came into the kitchen while I was cleaning the oven. Anyway, it's three years on, we've since moved house, he's had major surgery and is still here. He's moved from mint viscount to clubs, just to be on the safe side.
I have predicted pregnancies etc, but the death dreams haven't ever come true. Apparently dreaming about death means there's deep changes happening. In both my GC and DP's case, there was.

Dreams are the brain's equivalent of putting out the rubbish. They can give you an interesting insight into what's going on at the back of your mind, but they don't predict the future.

This gave me a giggle, thanks! Shame he had to give up on viscounts. I didn't even realise they still made them - delicious!
