We all have dreams. Many are random pictures thrown together in our subconscious, and others can be visions. I believe when it comes to God, there are no coincidences, which leads me to believe that what I have experienced is no coincidence.
To start off, I don't dream much. When I wake up and actually remember my dream it is usually too random distant to really take note of. On top of that I have never had a real nightmare since I was too young to participate in school, and it was really only 1 or 2 nightmares that I remember. Before my dream I was growing closer in my relationship with Christ, but like all people I still had some doubts, and I was not putting my full heart into this new relationship. Which sets up why what happened to me that one night is so important to me.
~~~~~~~It was a dark night, and I was waken suddenly in terror as my entire body was violently shifted diagonally in my bed. I was forced to look out the window beside my bed to see a full moon accompanied by a large bright star, much brighter than any star I have seen. Then as my attention was affixed on the moon a booming voice from within me proclaimed "I am God." and as my gaze changed to the star the voice again spoke "This is my son." ~~~~~~~~~
This is a very strange occurrence tome for a couple reasons. First of all when I sleep, I sleep vertically in my bed, after I woke up from my dream I was in the vertical position as in my dream, proving I was really moved. In addition, this dream was very vivid, detailed, clear, not random, not fuzzy at all, (get the picture) very unlike my normal dreams. Not only that, but the fact that I woke up in fear from this dream is strange, because first of all, I don't wake up from my dreams, second I never wake up frightened. I was very confused, scared, but comforted at the same time. Did God send me a vision reassuring me of His existence to dispel all doubt? I found something out later that month that would help me figure that out..
I don't go to Sunday school very often at 1st Methodist, but one of the days I did decide to go I was in for a surprise. The lesson the instructor was teaching us about was dreams and visions from God. Coincidence? He told us about how the prophets and people of the bible experienced dreams and visions and all of them were frightened when they woke up. Sounds like something I experienced huh? That is when I realized God wanted me to realize that I did realize indeed it was a vision from Him, funny thing is I had no idea he was to send me one more complex than that later.
------I have 2 more dreams in my journal if you are interested. One more note, if you feel God calling you to interpret any dream of mine I would be more than willing to allow you to do so and vise versa.------

Hey, i actually went to your journal and read that stuff, and i noticed that in 2 of your dreams you begin by looking at the sky. That reminded me of this one time this girl i was debating with online about God said that the bible was a big astronomy book because jesus was the "light" of the world and all that jazz. I just thought that it was kinda ironic that your dreams started off so astronomically. (Not that i believe that whole crap astronomy theory.) I also was about to leave this detailed message in your comments, but my computer farted on me and i lost it all (it was pretty good stuff too, so heres another try)
This was about the one where jesus was a geese or duck and the god was the owl and satan was the angel. Well, i said that the fact that the angel/creature/satan dude was pretty was partly to do with temptation, but also i thought it was interesting that the sign that it made with its hand required 7 fingers. That right there shows that it couldnt have been Jesus because Jesus would never ask us or make us feel like we need to do something that is phyisically impossible. Since you obviously dont have seven fingers (i hope, haha) you obviously couldnt do it. God will never make you do something that you cannot do. Also, the fact that you felt led to do it shows temptation too.
Also, when you couldnt shut the window until God told you words to say could mean a lot of stuff. (1) That you should depend on God. You couldnt shut the window by yourself, and you couldnt think of the right things to say, so obviously you needed God. (2) This could sort of prove the pentacostal theory of speaking in tounges, where God tells you exactly what to say and it just comes out of your mouth. and (3)...uh...i can remember, i know i had three things tho... sweatdrop
Another comment: the fact that your room was different yet familiar can mean a change of venue, or maybe even a change of perspective, or some other change.
Lastly, you commented that you felt the flock meant you may have been left behind, i think that that is an accurate assumption, and while i hadnt originally thought of it, it seems a logical idea.
Well, hope i helped or something...

Thanks saruwatari07, I appreciate your input it, is very helpful. Sometimes I do want to do imposible things for Christ, I feel like I should evangelise on an extreame level when I'm very introverted, it just doesn't work very well.
Another thing I would like to acomplish with this thread is to allow others to share their dreams and possibly allow others to interprete them. If you don't want an interpretation you are welcome to say so. I think dreams are pretty important, and if you can understand them, you can understand more about yourself.

Okay, here's a random dream I had the other night that maybe someone can help me with. I'm not sure why, but it's been on my mind.
~~
I am driving in a yellow volkswagon bug at 11:30 or so. It's dark outside, and for some reason I had an appetite for fast food. So, i pull up to this menu outside at the end of some random house's driveway. Note, there is no sign of a fast food building anywhere. I get out of my bug and sit on teh hood, reading the lit up sign. Suddenly, a beat up car drives up. Me, being scared, gets back into her vehicle and sits there, waiting to see if the car goes away. Well, it doesn't. Two guys get out and walk towards my car. Well, i get freaked and turn on teh engine, taking off toward the back yard of this house with a drive thru menu at the end of their drive. Well, the two guys take off after me, in their own car. I end up going through the garage on teh backside of the house, smashing up my car. So, i get out and make a quick break across the porch of this house, trying to get into this forest that has suddenly come up. The guys gets out and one of them yells at me to wait. He has short, smiked hair and a gotee. He was wearing a black beanie but it came off. He starts yelling stuff about himseld to me, like where he's from and his family. I yell at him, while he's tripping across the deck and almost to me, why he's telling me this. He says that he just wants to know me, and that now i have to tell him about myself. I'm almost through the fence when he reaches out to grab me.
I wake up before he can catch me.
~~
Does this dream mean something to someone, or is it jsut something random?

My strangest dream... got it!
This entire dream was in a second or third person view... It seemed like a was a few steps away from myself.
When the dream started I was sitting in what looked like a cockpit; Piloting a giant mech (you have to realize how much I think about mechs and their possible uses in society.) I was using it to take chunks out of a canyon wall and process them (this went on for about three nights.) After a few nights I took my mech and walked towards a house sitting on spire in the middle of the canyon, stopped, and went inside.
Once inside I fixed myself something to eat and walked around to find that my little cousin and best friend were both there just starring out a glass door. I walked over to the door and looked outside...
Out on the otherside of the cliff was a lone wolf starring back... I laughed and said, "Don't worry he will never get over here." I then looked back outside and the wolf was on the spire with us and the house! I don't know what happend it just was there walking toward the glass door.
I tried to get my cousin and friend to move but the didn't run away... They walked to the door and opened it. The wolf walked past them and came to me. I reached behind me and grabbed a lamp to fight the wolf with. It quickly disarmed me and I ran for the door.
I jumped in the mech and shut the door. I quickly began to search for the wolf only to find that it was now to the scale of the mech. I ran and tried to figure out how to fight back. I ran for multiple nights in my dream trying many things to get rid of the animal... I even circled back by the house to check on my friends and they were fine.
On the final night of the dream I stopped in front of the house and was going to kill the wolf. The wolf ripped the right arm off the mech like it was a toy. I tried to figure out how to fight back only to have my mech further dismembered. The mech was now on it's back with no way to fight back... the wolf simply ripped open the chest area and I saw it shove it's muzzle down into the cavity.
I could here myself shouting then all the shouting stopped... My cousin was gone... My friend was gone... and I was dead. The wolf went over to my houses porch, now back to a normal size, and laid down... sleeping like nothing had happened.
I feared this dream for a long time... I was afraid that I was going to lose my friends and family. Nothing happened and everything went on as normal.
What do you think this dream meant... if anything. I had no tv or comp at that time... it was during the ice storm in AR the power was out for 11 days. MAybe it was from a lack of tv sweatdrop

And Lith on your dream... I have heard that sometime the war within a person over God cna be very strong... MAybe on that one night it was so strong that The Lord felt you needed something to comfort you in your walk.
Did somehtin like this ever happen again? If not maybe the fact of hearing his voice quieted you spirit and assured you of his pressence in your life...
Sorry if that sounds lame... sweatdrop

Lets see, tell me if this makes sense. Its late at night, but the nights not over, could be a metaphor for your life, late in years but not dead yet. You are hungry for food and find a lighted sign, the food is often a metaphor for spiritual food(God's word) in the bible, so you were hungery for His word and you found a light and stopped to check it out. The home I will assume is heaven because of the sign coming from it and heaven should be comfortably like home. The garage could very well be church, since it is of the home but not quite part of it. Heres where it can vary: 1rst, help in desguise: Some guys in a beat up car, well Jesus wasn't one to be very wealthy or dressed as such, perhaps the car is kinda the same way it looks bad but isn't. The guys following you wanted to talk to you but you ran, maybe they were going to help you, but their appearence frightened you so much that you cause yourself more problems then you needed, maybe the crash in the garage is a bad experience at church. Their intentions might not have been to hurt you, after all, they told you about themselves probably to show credibility, then askes to know you, to get you to open up to him. The forest is often depicted as evil in the old superstitions perhaps you were escaping back to the sin you are comfortable in. Alternately: All of your assumtions were accurate, the beat up car may have been a sign of decay/death, black is often symbolic for evil, and these guys wanted to harm you and tried to trick you and stop you from obtaining the food you needed. Forests now adays are viewed relaxing and serene, in this case you were seeking shelter from them. Now this is something you will have to evaluate in your life. Are you running from God, or persude by the devil? What exactly are you running from? I think studying Gods word might help, do you have a bible study, those are always useful for me. I hope this helps. confused

MAybe it was from a lack of tv sweatdrop The wolf could be a metaphor of Satan, you did not fear him untill you saw just how vunerable you were to him. Even with the protection of your home, the protection of your "armor", you were still powerless to him. The light you grabed was not enough, the light is often considers as our faith, maybe you did not have the faith you needed. Never once did you call upon God to save you, with out His help, we are powerless. Faith is a gift from God alone, it is something we must ask of Him. Maybe you are to call on His power and convert your family to save them, possibly specificly your cousins. Something to think about at least.

Are you running from God, or persude by the devil? What exactly are you running from? I think studying Gods word might help, do you have a bible study, those are always useful for me. I hope this helps. confused Thank you. and you may have helped a little. I am experiencing some problems in the church i am attending. More like, me not seeing eye-to-eye with them. Our youth group is getting a bad rep because we're being who we are. We are very insane, doing wall-flips and pop-bottle wars. It's just who we are, but a lot of people in teh church don't think we should act like that. On of the guys in the car I got a feeling wanted to harm me in some way. The other, who was talking/yelling at me, didn't seem like he wanted to hurt me at all. But, I'm not sure what all of that could mean, or if it makes a difference. The forest could be the sin i'm in, because I have a problem with depression and I constantly find myself slipping back into it. I don't always stop myself, and sometimes I do it on purpose. I don't know why, excpet that I like the feeling of a darkness all around me, like i'm falling, i'm moving but getting no where. I know it's not a healthy obsession, and i am trying to kick the habit slowly but surely. I'm not sure who I am running for, but it may be God. I don't know, i'm really confused right now in my life. At camp over the summer, they asked us to close our eyes and imagine what God looks like to us. I had two issues with that. 1. at first, I didn't see anything. Just darkness inside my head. 2. when i did see something, i saw a cold person who gave me orders. Who i upset regularly with my thoughts and actions. I can't get this picture out of my head, and unfortunely I don't know what else to think. Guys, in general, haven't been the nicest people in my life, and I think that I may either just be running from them because they are guys, or becuase i'm running from God. I'm torn between teh two. Can anyone point me to some scripture?

Forests now adays are viewed relaxing and serene, in this case you were seeking shelter from them. Now this is something you will have to evaluate in your life. Are you running from God, or persude by the devil? What exactly are you running from? I think studying Gods word might help, do you have a bible study, those are always useful for me. I hope this helps. confused Thank you. and you may have helped a little. I am experiencing some problems in the church i am attending. More like, me not seeing eye-to-eye with them. Our youth group is getting a bad rep because we're being who we are. We are very insane, doing wall-flips and pop-bottle wars. It's just who we are, but a lot of people in teh church don't think we should act like that. On of the guys in the car I got a feeling wanted to harm me in some way. The other, who was talking/yelling at me, didn't seem like he wanted to hurt me at all. But, I'm not sure what all of that could mean, or if it makes a difference. The forest could be the sin i'm in, because I have a problem with depression and I constantly find myself slipping back into it. I don't always stop myself, and sometimes I do it on purpose. I don't know why, excpet that I like the feeling of a darkness all around me, like i'm falling, i'm moving but getting no where. I know it's not a healthy obsession, and i am trying to kick the habit slowly but surely. I'm not sure who I am running for, but it may be God. I don't know, i'm really confused right now in my life. At camp over the summer, they asked us to close our eyes and imagine what God looks like to us. I had two issues with that. 1. at first, I didn't see anything. Just darkness inside my head. 2. when i did see something, i saw a cold person who gave me orders. Who i upset regularly with my thoughts and actions. I can't get this picture out of my head, and unfortunely I don't know what else to think. Guys, in general, haven't been the nicest people in my life, and I think that I may either just be running from them because they are guys, or becuase i'm running from God. I'm torn between teh two. Can anyone point me to some scripture? What helped me a lot was bible study. Disciple bible study to be specific. It is a great study that really makes you think. I think I have the books still somewhere, maybe I should start a bible study here.... Well anyways, I really think you just need to know more about Him and what He teaches. God is love, is what was often taught in bible study. He sacrificed so much so that we live with, love, and be loved by Him, and by learning how we can love the way He did, our lives will grow in Him and in peace. But to learn this we must sacrifice too, like sacrifice the time to study His word (something I'm having trouble with right now). sad

JisuMizu Okay, here's a random dream I had the other night that maybe someone can help me with. I'm not sure why, but it's been on my mind. ~~ I am driving in a yellow volkswagon bug at 11:30 or so. It's dark outside, and for some reason I had an appetite for fast food. So, i pull up to this menu outside at the end of some random house's driveway. Note, there is no sign of a fast food building anywhere. I get out of my bug and sit on teh hood, reading the lit up sign. Suddenly, a beat up car drives up. Me, being scared, gets back into her vehicle and sits there, waiting to see if the car goes away. Well, it doesn't. Two guys get out and walk towards my car. Well, i get freaked and turn on teh engine, taking off toward the back yard of this house with a drive thru menu at the end of their drive. Well, the two guys take off after me, in their own car. I end up going through the garage on teh backside of the house, smashing up my car. So, i get out and make a quick break across the porch of this house, trying to get into this forest that has suddenly come up. The guys gets out and one of them yells at me to wait. He has short, smiked hair and a gotee. He was wearing a black beanie but it came off. He starts yelling stuff about himseld to me, like where he's from and his family. I yell at him, while he's tripping across the deck and almost to me, why he's telling me this. He says that he just wants to know me, and that now i have to tell him about myself. I'm almost through the fence when he reaches out to grab me. I wake up before he can catch me. ~~ Does this dream mean something to someone, or is it jsut something random? when i rea this.. the first thing i thought of was running from god. idk if you are or not, but like lithanus said, jesus wasnt rich (hence the beat up car), and i think it really shows god trying to get to know you. you may have some previous misconceptions about him, and hes trying to tell you that prayer and talking to him will help clear things up... smile

My dream is to become a artist and wish to express my feelings in my art work. I would also like to become an author. Here's a thing I wrote after reading a little story:
A little girl was shopping in a mall with her mom. She was only 8 or 9 with blue eyes and pig tails. Sje was walking when she came across one of those mall santas. She looked up at her mom, asking permission to go. Her mom nodded and escorted her up to the line of 3 or 4 kids. As she stood in line, she thought of what she wanted for Christmas. She listened to the other kids tell Santa that they wanted a dolly or a computer or a Playstation and video games until finally it was her turn.
Santa set her on his lap and looked at her then asked the question, " what's your name and what do you want for Christmas?" The little girl looked into Santas eyes and answered: " I'm Cindy." It took her a while to answer as she sat there and stared. " Well, what do you want for Christmas Cindy?" Santa asked.
" Santa, I know that all the other kids asked for a playstation with those violent video games, and dollies with all those kool acessories, or maybe a teddy bear or a computer, but I all I really want.... is for my daddy to come home. My daddy is far away. I'd call him or email him... But Heaven is too far to reach and I don't think email or phone lines can reach him. See, my daddy died as a firefighter saving a family from a burning building. But I know daddy died a hero, and I guess I should be happy for that." Santa looked at the mother as tears rolled down her cheeks, her hand over her mouth.

This is all I can remember about my dream.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
I once dreamed taking a shower, and I turned around to find a girl next to me, naked. She throws herself onto me, and kisses me. I then black out, and wake up strapped onto a bed, and there's a door in front of me, nothing else but black. Suddenly, the door opens, and the girl appears to me. She then walks up to me, and is about to kiss me again, then I wake up to find a friend(girl) standing right over me.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
What does that mean?
{I'd rather face an eternity of pain, than a moment of sorrow.}
