The news is dreadful. In my experiences of losing, I can only tell you to try to strive on. Get all of the tears and anguish out at your chosen speed. How is your choice, just don't hurt yourself (obviously). To answer your question, however, your dreams may have been what was actually going on in the other room, or it may be a special connection. Don't fret over which.
