Dreams & Visions

Post by charleswest » Thu Mar 10, 2011 5:03 am

Dear Fellow Forum(ers),

I was wondering if the Theos forums were an appropriate place to post dreams and/or visions for review and response.

Since 1987 I have had 16 (***CORRECTION, 15) dreams, 7 visions, and one multi-part dream/vision combined (that I have written down) that seem to have some sort of Kingdom bearing.

Should I / ought I post these here?

Feel free to post them. It is an open forum. Obviously, individual readers will reserve the right to make their own judgments about their significance.

OK. Here's dream #1.

01 Dream 13 July 1987


“Today”

I dreamed that…

A friend and fellow custodian was with me in the living room of my Dad's house. Jesus was there too, so I asked Him, "When are we leaving"?

"Today", He replied.

Well, you can guess our reaction. We were overjoyed at the prospect. Then our Lord handed me a slip of paper. This seemed to be a form of some type. The name of a girl and other information was on it. By inference I understood that this person was not a Christian and that I was supposed to talk to her about Jesus.

My friend was directed to place a phone call. I assumed that it was to his family.

Our Lord didn't say much, but it seemed that He was there to visit and to take it easy before He started collecting all the Christians.

Dream #2

02 Dream 9 Dec 1992

“Worldwide Epidemic”


Last night I dreamed that…

There was a worldwide epidemic of a disease, which was terminal in every case. It took the form of a gray translucent cloud as it spread around the globe. My impression was that the disease was introduced by aliens not of this world.

A remedy had been found though, that caused a reversal of the disease and its affects and brought about a total cure.

The cure came in the form of a self-adhesive label which had the name and phone number of a building security monitoring company. The label emitted a low-level radiation, which killed the virus and maintained a state of immunity providing the label remained attached to the patient.

I remember in the dream that I wanted to make sure that my cat was "labeled".

Then I awoke.

ONE POSSIBLE INTERPRETATION
The disease that was introduced into the world is sin.

The aliens who introduced the disease to the world are Satan and his demons.
The form of the gray translucent cloud with which the epidemic took shape represents the way in which sin and deception is spreading throughout the world, co-mingling the pure light of truth with the putrid darkness of falsehood.

The label as a whole represents the Remedy which is Salvation through faith in Jesus Christ. The label being self-adhesive represents the way in which our salvation is assured through the work of the Holy Spirit and not of ourselves. It is God Himself that maintains the adhesion of the label to the patient. The name of the security company represents the name of God which the disciples of Jesus Christ bear, and also represents the fact that God is responsible for the disciple's safety and security.

The phone number of the security company represents the ability of the disciple to have real time duplex communications with God the Creator. The low-level radiation represents the cumulative affect of a believer's life being lived wholly holy unto the Lord.

My cat represents creation as being sealed and waiting for the redemption of the saints at the coming of the Son of Man.

Dream #3

Dream 19 Mar 1994

“The Obelisk”

Dream, Act I

Scene 1
I was riding in a car with a man from work through downtown Bellevue heading south on Bellevue Way. Looking up we noticed a large obelisk in the sky. It was shaped like an open book held vertically. I saw what appeared to be writing on pages of the book, and while I could not read the writing verbatim I knew that they were words of powerful deception come to deceive the whole world. I had the impression that the perceived size of the obelisk would change to fit the seeing ability of the beholder.

Scene 2
Further south we came into a wealthy suburb of Bellevue. The obelisk had followed us from behind and came to a stop above and somewhat behind the car. We had parked alongside the street. A crowd began to gather in the street in front of us to gaze at the obelisk, which had pressed itself up against the wires on the telephone pole, still in its original orientation (open and vertical) but smaller so as to maintain the same aspect and ratio to the viewer due to it's close proximity. At that point I realized that I needed to get out of the car and preach the Gospel as a Witness, which I did. I began with Genesis 1:1 and then proceeded to explain the life of Jesus Christ.

Scene 3
We got back into my co-worker's VW and headed towards downtown Bellevue. Looking east I noticed that I could see the dark rocky crags of the Cascade mountain range as if they were sitting in Redmond, with Mt. Si being the most prominent. Then I saw a very strange sight. An unseen power which I perceived to be that of Antichrist had levitated a snow-covered mountain into the sky above the Eastside and was moving it around and twisting it as if it were on the end of a stick or baton. I also perceived that many of the people that could see this sight were amazed and awe struck.

(As I began to awake I realized that the reason people can be deceived by the fantastic "signs and wonders" performed by Satan, by his manipulation of God's physical laws, is that they do not know the Creator of those physical laws. The I fell back to sleep.)

Act II
There had been a calamity of some sort that shut down the power to the entire area. I reported to work and noticed that the interior and especially the floor of the building was covered with mud. People, myself included, were trying to go about their daily duties as per normal. The President of the Company had taken personal charge of the situation and was giving orders and directions. I was in a meeting with some others that were receiving His instructions. It was my job to act as a courier and deliver a package to another location. I remember thinking that I was going to have to avoid running into demons (because there were so many of them) as I made the delivery.
At this point I awoke.

Dream #4

04 Dream 25 Jan 1994

“Gang Warfare”

In this dream…
I found myself running through a field being chased by members of a gang who were trying to stone me. As I ran I spotted a small building with an open door which I approached and entered. The building seemed to be an abandoned smokehouse of some kind.

Several of the gang members followed me in. After entering, I stopped and as I turned around I noticed that one of the gangster's two front teeth were badly deformed. They grew out of his mouth making a sharp bend to the left and circled his head twice, forming a cage which made it barely possible for him to eat and impossible for him to kiss.

At this point I begin to awake, and in my waking dream I thought to myself that the poor man might possibly be relieved of his prison if I could saw his front teeth off with a carbide wire saw.


ONE POSSIBLE INTERPRETATION
The "Gang" represents Denominationalism, and the "Gangsters" are members of church denominations, Protestant and Catholic. The deformed teeth are the lies which we Christians tell throughout our own lives in an attempt to shield ourselves from our neighbor's cruel remarks as well as our own. But this shield becomes our own curse as our life is partly contingent on the frequent production and maintenance of the lies which in turn become a prison of deceit. This keeps us from a proper diet of truth and the tender touch of love.

The abandoned smoke-house may represent a previous work of God that provides refuge.

The carbide wire saw represents Creative Spiritual Technology in applying "Truth in Love" in order to "set the Captive free". Amen.

Dream #5

05 Dream 20 Mar 1994

"The Salesman"

In this dream...

I was with my wife in our Ranger pickup. A salesperson called me on my cellular phone and tried to persuade me to become involved in his promotion. I refused and hung-up the phone. Not being daunted, the salesman found where I was parked and approached my car in person (I was parked in a designated parking area in a field, being separated from the main road by railroad tracks over which an access road passed to the main road).

He noticed I had the window down and begin speaking to me as soon as he was close enough. As he approached I noticed that one side of his face was disfigured. The first thing he said was "I have a job for you". He then commenced with his sales pitch and continued to speak without ceasing. I started my car and drove away wanting to put as much distance between myself and the salesman as quickly as possible.

I then awoke and went sleepily into the family room. Turning on the TV to a prominent Christian network, I started to watch a broadcast from a large Mid-west Church. The senior pastor was talking about "seed faith", apparently hoping to persuade people to send money to his organization.

Charles,

What is/was the significance of these dreams to you? Do you feel that God communicated a message through them that was of special significance or help to you at the time? Do you feel they might contain some message or purpose yet to be realized? How do your answers to these questions fit in with any scriptures you feel might be relevant?

"What is/was the significance of these dreams to you?"
>>> I was thinking that I need to take all the dreams so far and review them as a whole. Same with the visions.

"Do you feel that God communicated a message through them that was of special significance or help to you at the time?
Do you feel they might contain some message or purpose yet to be realized?"
>>> This is true. Also there was one dream that was predictive, and that began to come true in segments, and continues to this day.

"How do your answers to these questions fit in with any scriptures you feel might be relevant?"
>>> I'll check this out later.

Thanks Dan. More to follow...

Dream #6

Dream 21 Mar 1994

"The Dance"

In this dream…

I was standing in the entrance of a large church sanctuary vestibule. There had been a dance there and a bunch of young men were grouped in the foyer commiserating on their common trauma of not having had a date or dance partner. I felt compassion for them in my soul and decided to go up to the alter and pray for them.

I remember thinking that I had complete confidence in approaching God at His Throne with the intention of getting on His Holy Case about Him not giving female companions to the young men to dance with.
