My Dream

Over the past two years, I've had some pretty intense dreams involving the physical world in which we live and the things that make up space - the stars, the sky, and the moon. I've even had a dream where I was looking up at the full moon and it turned into the ball of Jesus' nose, and His face filled the sky. Last week, I experienced a dream so real that I literally felt it and woke up terrified in a sweat (around 3am). After I settled down and prayed that God would show me the meaning, I finally drifted off to sleep again and had another dream. I debated whether or not this would be the right...space (see what I did there)...to share these dreams, and I believe it is. After I share, I'll explain what I feel like the Lord is showing me - and now, via this blog, perhaps showing you, too.

I was outside in a big open field, and it was daylight. I was in a short line of about 5 people with another line of the same next to us. I have no idea what I was in line for (dreams can be kind of weird and nonsensical, right?). But all of a sudden, the sky turned black causing me and everyone else to look up. A flash of lightning crossed the sky, and it kept repeating in the same direction with the same intensity. We all marveled at it. Below the flash of lightning, several stars started dancing and swirling around leaving a streak of blue smoke behind them. Everyone, including me, were awestruck. We stood staring with our mouths gaped open at, what seemed like, a natural fireworks display. Then all of a sudden, without any sort of warning, the stars started falling from the sky and landing on earth. People, from everywhere, started running around in a panic trying to find shelter as stars were literally falling on them - like huge burning rocks falling to the sky just burying people in the earth and leaving holes in the ground the size of buses around us. I knew, at this point in my dream, what was happening: The world was ending. I wasn't afraid with a "holy crap, I'm about to get crushed by a falling star" type fear; instead, I had a fear of God and was in complete awe of His greatness. Couple that with an intense feeling of sadness for the one's around me, and that's what I was. For some reason, I knew these people running around frantically didn't know God, and this would be the absolute end for them - this burdened me to the core. As I'm running, and witnessing all of the devastation, instantly my body feels like it's being vacuumed up towards the sky. I can't accurately describe the sensation I felt, but I can tell you that I physically felt it. It was as if my soul was detaching from my body and being suctioned out in a vacuum upwards. I felt it so much so that it woke me up. With goosebumps and sweat, I rolled over to my husband to ask him to hold me. I was terrified. I prayed that God would reveal what this all meant, and that He'd help me go back to sleep.

Well, I eventually drifted back off to sleep, and when I did, I was in a huge empty building with groups of 3-4 people at a table. There were probably 50 or so tables in this building, and I was seated at one with a Chinese woman and an American woman. I have no idea what we were even talking about, but I looked up at one of the lights in the building and it started going out. The incessant flashing of the light bulb dying immediately made me think of the flash of lightning I saw in the sky in the previous dream, and I knew things were about to get bad. So, without hesitation, I grabbed the Chinese woman's hand and I asked her, "Do you know Jesus?". Her response left me speechless. She said, "I used to know Him, but I've been let down so many times in my life, that I no longer believe". I knew I didn't have any time to talk to her before stars started falling nor did I know what to say. I had to reach the others. Urgently, the other woman and I got up from the table and ran outside. The stars in the sky were shaking like they were getting ready to fall and people, again, were running in all different directions in a mass hysteria. All I could shout out between exasperated breaths was, "Repent! Repent! Jesus! He's coming!...Repent!". Almost immediately after that, I was transported to an open field with one house on it. It was dark out, and I was standing in the driveway looking up. The stars were dancing in the sky and I could see the entire galaxy. The moon was massive and positioned extremely close to the earth. It was shattered into several large pieces but still kept the shape of a circle. I couldn't speak because it was all so much to take in. I just stood there in astonishment of what I was witnessing, and again, all I could think about was the greatness and magnitude of God. I remember feeling like an ant compared to what I was beholding. All of a sudden, a shift happened and it was as if I was on the edge of the earth. An invisible force with significant impact was colliding with the earth, and I was sandwiched in between the two. Again, I physically felt this. It was an incredibly weird sensation that wasn't painful, but something I can't really describe. This feeling jolted me awake.

Usually I forget dreams. Or I'll think about them for a day and wonder what they mean, and before I know it, they've left my train of thought. Not this one. I've thought about this dream every day since I had it, and I've never been able to remember a dream with such detail. God hasn't allowed me to forget this, and while I may not be able to accurately interpret everything this dream could mean, I do know one thing...

You'll have to wait for part II to find out! In the meantime, what does this dream reveal to YOU?
