This reminded me of the stroke in my teens, in coma dream I was told by what seemed to be a 4th dimensional person, I will survive but will die at the age of 42… or in ‘42 (2042). I can’t remember which, as I just suffered a massive stroke lol.

Now, I’m not one to believe in premonitions, but that coma dream has haunted me and I’m not even a spiritual person.

That's because 42 is the answer from the book hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy, and subconsciously could permeate your thoughts. Not because is in 42 years or when you're 42.

Hate to disappoint, but I hadn’t heard of the franchise until 2005, due to the movie. As you might imagine, hearing 42 used in works like that would give me chills.

Nice feedback, still on brand with the answer.
Maybe you're the original hitchhiker.
