i have had this dream a week ago and i want to share it to all of you if ever one of you could help me discern on it.

i have put a mini poster of my very beloved saint, Blessed Dina Belanger opposite to my bed.
I talk to her almost every day and to another saint too (blessed Elizabeth of the Trinity).

One night i had a dream.

i saw Blessed Dina Belanger in front me in my dream radiant with joy, love and peace. She extended her arms towards me like she was offering me some thing.

i asked her, dear my beloved Dina, what is this for?

she replied

i want you to take care of my relic.

then i woke up.

After like 2-3 days, a friend of mine has offered me that he’d be giving me a relic of Blessed Dina without me telling my dream to any one
And another friend of mine gave me contacts to the Convent where she entered before for relic requests.

i am a relic custodian of the relics of Blessed Elizabeth of the Trinity, the one whom i also had the devotion same with Blessed Dina. I expose the relic of Blessed Elizabeth to the faithful for veneration and spread devotion to her.

do you think Blessed Dina want me to take care of her relics too and spread devotion to her too like what i did with Blessed Elizabeth? or the dream was JUST A DREAM. And She is not asking me to do anything.

Thank you for those who would help me.
 
I’m not familiar with either- sorry. 😊

Can you post or give me a link to learn about them?

Thanks!

God Bless
 
God isn’t limited by time so a dream of something can happen before the thing itself (God also isn’t bound by cause-effect laws) making it seem more real when it actually happens … like deja vu or something.

I’ve had brief visions from time to time, but nothing like this.

It seems like a straight forward message to me.
 
Do you have a spiritual director (SD)?
These matters should be taken to an experienced, qualified SD.

In the absence of a SD, according to St John of the Cross, there would be no danger to your soul if you simply gave the dream no importance in your own mind. You don’t then need to discern the source or importance of the dream.

If it was from God it will have it’s positive effect regaurdless.
If it was from your own imagination it may do spiritual harm dwelling on it.
If it was from an evil source it may do spiritual harm dwelling on it.

Even if was a message from God, the evil one may very well try to make you attached to the experiece to gain an in-road.

To add to my own quote, it wasn’t the message alone, but the timing of the events which followed a few days later which seem to confirm the message.

It’s a bit like a voice my Catholic psychiatrist told me that he once heard in his office, “Go to Maclean!”. It meant nothing at the time, but a couple of months later he was at a family healing mass in Lismore, when an aboriginal woman came up to him and said, “I don’t want to make a nuisance of myself, but I seem to be getting told you should go to Maclean.” So he went, since he been primed by the voice in the office.

It takes a later event, or “coincidence” to confirm the message.

As someone else has pointed out, the main danger is to get too attached to this particular event. Obviously you’ve had an experience from God, but as my old pastor used to say, if God asked you to go to the post office and post a letter, you started, but instead of posting the letter, you sat down in the gutter, and thought to yourself, “Well, fancy that! God chose ME to post a letter! ME!” And sit there hugging the letter to yourself (which, in a sense, is what the Jews did, but that’s another story), instead of simply getting on with the job.
 
I wonder what you mean by saying you are a relic custodian. I knew one woman who had relics in her home she obtained somehow. Or has your parish put you in charge of a relic that it posseses? Or?
