If that wasn't enough, 17-year-old Laura Hatch is also alive because of a dream.

"I thought, 'I have to go look, I can't live with myself if I don't."

Sha Nohr's search for Laura Hatch, began with a picture. It's Sha's daughter Bethann with Laura.

The night before her dream, Sha's daughter was upset and feeling helpless -- it had been 8 days since Laura disappeared.

Sha emailed friends asking them to pray, then went to bed.

"I just kept having this dream about this one intersection," she said.

Sha thought it was crazy and chalked the dream up to being tired and worried about her daughter. But the dream came back.

"The dream was this little rabbit, like the one in Alice in Wonderland and it kept saying, 'keep going, keep going, keep going.' "

On Sunday morning, Sha knew she had to go looking for Laura. She and her daughter parked above a steep ravine in Redmond. They kept walking and looking, but nothing. She was ready to give up, but her daughter said something she heard in her dream.

"Just keep going, keep going," Nohr remembers Bethann saying.

She hadn't told her daughter that part of the dream. So Sha kept going. Then, she noticed a patch of trees were sheared off, and went for a closer look.

"When I walked around the trees there was the car, my heart just started beating, I screamed up Bethann, 'Call 911! This is the car!"

Laura was alive, the yelling woke her up, she was asleep in the back seat.

"It was second only to when they brought her off the hill and her mom and dad were with her, that moment was more like that moment your children are born, just breathless, that moment you can't explain," says Nohr.

The first thing Laura said, was "I'm going to get in trouble, I've missed my curfew." She thought she had been stranded in her car for only one day.

Monday, Laura's doctor said she's improving, but remains in serious condition. Laura has a blood clot in her head, facial lacerations and broken ribs. She's talking to her family. Her doctor says 8 days without water was a good thing. It's how he says you treat blood clots in the head.
