Weird dreams

A couple nights ago I had a very peculiar dream. I won't go into what the dream was about, it's just one thing which has me thinking. Somewhat through the dream, I picked up a diary labelled "Osteric". At the time, I had no idea what that word meant, I thought it meant diary (like oration except in writing). In the diary was entries written in poetic form, the style you'd see some WWI soldier write to his wife in. It described a ship which was plagued, filled with the sick and hit by storms like hurricanes.

I thought nothing of it till I searched the word. Weirdly enough, I could actually read the text right off the diary "Osteric". I'm never able to see specifics in dreams, I can never read text or switch on lights, etc. But this one I could see clear as day. I did a search and the SS Osteric was a steamship which travelled from Spain/Portugal to Hawaii of 1500 immigrants where some disease spread. Here is the weird thing. I've never once heard of this ship, nor could I have. This ship is so vague it only gets a couple results in google (around 10, the rest are of people's last names Osteric). Coincidence?

EDIT: wrote dream instead of diary, opps.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
