these dreams

i have been known to experience dreams that come true-----they seem to come in spurts and it used to be i would go for months or years before having them again---

about two weeks ago i had such a dream----as most of them that have some truth in reality-this one was very realistic---no weird imagery or the like---which is what the majority of my dreams are---

when i awoke the next morning i knew or was pretty certain the dream was to be told to someone---i shared it with robyn dillon and frank-----it wasn't a  particularly startling dream---just one that had a person i knew, telling me something that he was going to tell everyone about----it was an unusually surprising bit of news---not anything that in real life would seem to make sense----

over this past weekend---i heard that the person had indeed announced the information that he revealed to me in my dream-----

i am deeply moved by this dream and the actuality of the outcome

i sometimes ask God to give me prophetic dreams and then i am shocked when he does--

most of these dreams have little if anything to do with me----sometimes they aren't even about anyone i know---but later i will see the same news story happening the next day---

i do believe God can and does send us visions--signs and dreams---although we aren't suppose to constantly be looking for them----

one night long ago---i heard a noise at my backdoor---i went to look and a huge owl was staring at me on my porch rail----i knocked and knocked-trying to get it to fly away---frank was gone and it was really creeping me out---but it never moved---by morning it was gone----

and by morning i learned my grandmother had passed away----i know some people believe this to be simple superstition---but i prefer to think of it as God's gentle "leadings" of knowledge----

i still don't know why i was given this last dream---but it does let me know however God chooses to speak to us we must listen---

  1. I dream a lot but they don't come true. However, I do have visions and feelings, for a lack of a better word. They do come true. My daughter says she believes I'm a prophetess and its a gift from God. That would be nice.

  3. I got goosebumps reading this. Dreams are funny that way. I've had similar experiences, and it's always shocking when those dreams turn out to be a reality.

  5. Dreams are without a doubt a link between the real and the ethereal world. However weird a dream is it has a message. My worst dream, and I'm not sure it was a dream because it's happened to a lot of people. I awoke in the night (or maybe I didn't) and was completely paralysed. The only thing going through my mind was fear. How long would I survive like this, how long would it be before someone noticed my absence, was this my life over. I couldn't even scream for help, I lay awake for ages (I probably didn't), and when the alarm went off in the morning and I got out of bed, I was so glad to be alive. It was only looking on the internet I found it was quite a common dream. Scary !
