Dream
Years ago, I had a very intense dream regarding my faith in Jesus Christ. I was raised in the Christian faith and always believed that the Bible was the holy word of God. I remember how I felt the moment I woke up from it. It felt so real, like God himself sent to me that very dream. I felt like I needed to dig deep in myself and figure out how to go forward in my life. It made me emotional and to this very day, I think about the dream often. Year after year it still feels the same way it did then. Here is the dream:
It starts out on a beach, at night; it was dark and the clouds were so white in comparison to the sky and the moon was peering in behind some of the clouds. It felt ominous, scary, and completely unknown. As I bring my eyes down from the night sky, I’m looking out upon the ocean but the ocean only had a couple inches of water left in it. There were thousands of rats and snakes, as far as I could see. Each rat and each snake fighting with one another. As I look around me I realize there are two crowds of people; to my left, the crowd is yelling at eachother and fighting eachother. When I look at the crowd I’m in, the crowd on the right; we’re all standing in disbelief and shock, waiting for a sense of where to go. Behind me in the distance, I see a man with a woven basket on his back, I scensed he had woven and put the ropes on it to hold all of it together, himself. He is tall and wearing a rag around his waist to cover his private areas and he has a crown of thorns on his head that are wounding his full head of shoulder length hair. I knew it was Jesus. So, I run towards him calling out “wait, wait! Please let me go with you” when I caught up to him I grabbed his right hand, as I did so, he looked down at me from his extremely long and tall stature and said “Mary, don’t follow me because you are scared, follow me because you want to.”. The dream ended
