Dream
Woke up from a dream in which Raphael and I were riding in the back of a car. Im unsure who was driving but his mom was in the front passenger seat. It was a beautiful, sunny summer day. We had on cool clothing perhaps tank tops.
I was looking at the first of 3 pictures someone shared with or gave Raphael. It looked as if it were mailed to him. There was a guy with braids on the picture. In waking life, I would have overreacted but this time, I took another approach and I held back my emotions. I wanted to rip the picture or ball it up but Im glad I didn’t. Ralph put the picture of the guy on the inside window of the car. The next picture was of an elderly couple who were either getting married or celebrating their wedding anniversary. There was another page and the word YES was written in red letters several times along with other words. I got the impression that the guy from the first picture was perhaps a family memory or distant friend. Had I overreacted I knew Raphael would’ve left. Im glad i didn’t. He often felt as if he had to defend himself in waking life.
Raphael’s mom got out of the car first. I was sitting directly behind his mom in the back seat. Instead of getting out of the car on his side, Raphael decided to lean forward and get out of the same door that was on my side. It was a 2-door car. I was turned in his direction. The way he positioned & motioned his body to get out of the car nearly caused us to kiss but we both hesitated. For 5 somewhat intense seconds we were facing each other. I felt he wanted to make sure his mother wasn’t looking by the look on his face and his eyes. We started kissing slowly. I could feel his tongue. His eyes were opened as he looked outside for any signs of his mother. He finally relented and we started passionately kissing without a care in the world.
I woke up from the dream and it was 3:16 AM. Ive seen that number so many times and each time I see it, i know that Im exactly where I should be. I was born on 3/16 and my favorite scripture is John 3:16.
In waking life, Raphael and I are in a weird place. He felt as if , due to several years of disagreements and a final one, that he wasn’t sure if the relationship was working. He also went into a depression. Religion was the major factor of why we are here now as well as my religious pride. I take responsibility for the part I played.
Whats interesting is, in waking life, right before I fell asleep, I asked & prayed to God for a sign as to whether or not I should hold on to Raphael or just sell the house we share and distance myself from him. In my prayer, I said, “God, Raphael has to give me a sign, something unusual and out of the ordinary if Im suppose to not give up on him”. Well, that dream was unusual and then I woke up and the time was 3:16. Every place Raphael and I have visited, I’ve seen 3:16 or 316 either on a clock, airplane, car or other places. That lets me know that Im in alignment each time.
