Anyone ever had a very odd dream?

[Rebecca_New]

I’ve had strange dreams from my childhood, some prophetic, four months before the underwater earth-quake I was right there at the ocean floor looking at it. (tsunami)

The earth opened and a bright light shone out of it, and then the bubbling water and the massive wave.

My latest is looking at the earth just like the astronauts and the next thing another planet very close to it, almost like two earths, I don’t know what this means if anything.

Then a Heaven dream I had as a child, I already posted that one, Our Lady came to me in a dream crying about four years ago, some dreams just make no sense.

I could not help thinking about your dual Earth and the New Jerusalem.

Gorey details warning

In the past two weeks I’ve had two extremely disturbing dreams, both about the bodies of dead babies. The first one had me as a spectator in a room with two huge butcher tables with a large fat man with no shirt, covered in blood, and with the dismembered bodies of children around him and on the floor, he was holding a cleaver. I woke up in a cold sweat.

Yes I’m sure you know what I’m talking about when I said I was a spectator, that’s what it’s been like in a lot of my dreams, some I actually took part in, the others as an onlooker, like someone was saying here look, this is whats going to happen.

I don’t remember if I was scared or not, but one time I was travelling through a dark tunnel, and only when I said the Name Jesus did I immediately awaken, and my heart was beating like a train on a track.

I don’t know why but when I hear people with near death experiences talking about a tunnel, it always reminds me of the **23rd Psalm, 4: Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I fear no evil; for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff, they comfort me. ** I’ve often wondered if this is what David was describing.

Someone advised me of the sleep disorder where we can actually die in our sleep, I don’t know if I have this sleep disorder, I was frightened in this dream, but only saying Jesus brought me back from wherever I was going.

( Was God trying to show me the power of the Name Jesus ?)

I could not help thinking about your dual Earth and the New Jerusalem.

Honestly I have no clue, but like under the ocean I was an onlooker.

Poor John Bosco was afraid to go-to sleep at night because of his dreams.

Ok almost forgot about this one, two brothers who passed away tragically one year apart from each-other, I knew them personally, one died on Christmas day, the other the following Christmas hit by a vehicle while leaving a local bar. (it’s about 7 years since the first brother passed away)

Well a few months later I dreamt about them, they were in a grey misty place, also and I don’t know why, but there was a Priest with them, he still had his collar on.
I don’t remember any conversation, they looked so sad, the priest looked sad as well.

It was a grey misty place and I only saw those three people, when I awoke I tried to think what could this all mean ?
I could have been influenced in this dream because I’ve read numerous books on Purgatory.
But one thing those books always pointed to anyone seeing this place was that they were looking for prayer, and that is what I did, even though one of them did a dirty deed to me while he was alive, but I learned to forgive him and prayed for him.
Anyway the description of the place is like you are out on a moonlit night in heavy fog and you can only see for about two yards in front of you.

Well Like I said, I knew the brothers, can’t post their names in-case someone from here recognizes them, in Irish communities here everybody knows everybody, and I don’t want to cause distress.
Although I saw the Priest in my dream, for the life of me I can’t get his face back in my head, that’s all the dreams I can recall, only God knows when the next one will be.

It happen the night before Ash Wednesday. Part of my lenten disapline is praying the rosary everynight. I find it very odd that I had that awful dream right before Ash Wednesday. Maybe it means something…maybe it doesn’t. I just don’t know.

thank you for the advice about Michael the Archangel, I am afraid to say I don’t know that prayer. I will look it up.

It surely means something. You have been given a difficult lenten meditation. If during your meditation, you re-enter the dream, and experience the symbols and the feelings, then ask God to reveal it’s meaning to you, you will surely unwrap the gift!

I think you are right and it would be wise for all of us to memorize this Psalm. Its been 3 1/2 years now , but when I was in my 13th week of chemotherapy for cancer, I was in bad shape. I was having reactions to my chemo and had lost about 45#'s. One night I had severe bone swelling in my collarbones and shoulders. I was taken alot of painkillers to stop the pain. After a couple of hours , I passed out. I had a “dream” I was falling in a tunnel, spinning in vertigo. Something told me to wake up. I tried with all my strength to wake up. When I did, I still had the vertigo and had tunnelvision for about an hour after. I immediately went into a panic attack. For months, I was so afraid to fall asleep my body would convulse to stay awake. I have since been diagnosed with PTSD with depression and anxiety. This lead to a conversion experience in 2005 and me coming back to the Church. I didn’t get to complete my chemo because I was so close to death. Following this my blood markers went down to normal by themself (by the grace of God). I was in the process of getting ready for High dose chemo with autologus stem cell transplant when my markers went normal. I would not have survived high dose. I went into remission on Oct. 31st 2003. To this day I still don’t think it was a dream brought on by the painkillers. I think I was spared and my family’s prayers were answered. I’ve read into NDE’s to see if anyone else has had the same experience. Only a few negitive NDE’s are discribed like this. But a change in lifestyle always results, as in my case. Tim

I don’t doubth your tunell experience one litle bit, I was travelling down it, at great speed, and only saying Jesus repeatedly brought me back.

Did you hear wind in your ears ? well I did, I’ve had lots of weird dreams like I said from my childhood, but they’re so vague and to describe them wouldn’t be wise as I might introduce things that were not there. ( it was like driving your car at speed with all the windows open)

Well I know up above I described two earths, well tonight Feb: 3rd–2007 I was standing outside my house and saw a full moon.
I took a picture of it and went back in to watch TV as I was recovering from the flu, and Friday night I sweat- ed buckets.( was watching EWTN and some music channels)

At 10 pm, I went outside again, I looked up and there was an eclipse of the moon, I hadn’t heard about the eclipse on the news, and those that had heard forgot to look, something just made me go out and look.

(Please Note: This uploaded content is no longer available.)

At around 10.40 it was a total eclipse, I don’t know, I definately saw two earths in my dream, and I was right up beside them , anyway enjoy the pic.

Ok while watching TV about 20 years ago, there was a woman on it from the USA, she was diagnosed with cancer.
As if that wasn’t bad enough she had four small children, well she went through the tunnel too and saw a light at the end.
She said it was Jesus, He told her it wasn’t her time, and she went back into her body and was completely cured.

I hope your doing good, and my brother had Hodgkin’s disease 25 years ago, so I know the heart-break of that news, he’s still alive, working away and leading a full life, thanks be to God.

God Bless,

Very strange dream indeed, I can’t interpret dreams but have my own thoughts.

Maybe it’s been on your mind, and you may have been shown how bad it could get in the future with religious oppression coming in from all sides, who knows. (maybe we will be arrested for our faith, and put in prison)
I had a terrifying dream as a child of my family being captured by soldiers, don’t know if that was influenced by the presence of British troops on the streets here at the time.

Eireann, I have no doubt growing up in N. Ireland made a huge impression on you as a child. I work with childern kinder through the 3rd grade. I can’t begin to tell you how affected they can become when life goes wrong in thier little world.

May God’s peace, love and mercy be with you all!

In my sleep, I have experienced being oppressed by the evil presence, I would feel this force weighing down my entire body that I couldn’t move. So, what I do is I call the names of Jesus and Mary. I also ask the help of St. Michael the Archangel, the saints and the poor souls in Purgatory. Then I would feel the presence of Our Good Lord Jesus or our Blessed Mother and the evil presence is driven away and I just have a sense of peace then I am able to move and sprinkle holy water. Sometimes Our Good Lord or Our Blessed Mother do not come immediately that very second I call out their names but they do come. I just persevere and trust knowing that they would come to help me.

What I do before I go to sleep is I sprinkle holy water or use an olive oil blessed by the priest and trace the sign of the cross on my forehead. The oppression usually happens when I take a nap or fall asleep without using the holy water or blessed oil.

At other times, when I am awake (reading a book etc.), I would also feel an evil presence standing right next to me. So, what I do if I don’t have any holy water, blessed oil or blessed crucifix is I just cast them out in the name of Jesus, and say blessed be Jesus and Mary and the evil presence goes away.

Usually when it happens, I only sense one evil presence but at other times there were more than one but at one point in time there was a multitude of them like the entire damned souls in hell were pulling, overwhelming me and weighing me down. I usually don’t get scared because I’m so used to it I just know God will always be there to help me but that one was the most frightful because there were a lot of them it was so overwhelming.

There was one time during my sleep wherein the evil one was roaring loudly behind me and partially invading me so I called out the names of Jesus and Mary then Our Blessed Mother appeared (just like the statue that I have at home) and the evil one kept roaring but it was roaring in desperation for it was distressed and finally it disappeared. After that happened, I didn’t get the holy water but continued to go to sleep so after a couple of minutes, it returned again to oppress me. So, after I asked Our Blessed Mother’s help again, it finally disappeared so I made sure this time to sprinkle holy water so it didn’t bother me again and was left in peace.

In the recent experience that I had in my sleep, not only is my physical body being weighed down that I can’t move but even the act of calling out the names of Jesus and Mary was very very difficult that I was unable to do so despite my repeated attempts. So, what I did instead was to think about Our good Lord Jesus and Our blessed Mother and that helped.

I had a friend who had trouble and was very afraid to sleep because in the middle of the night my friend would get nightmares so I made sure that my friend had holy water, blessed oil, blessed crucifix and that statue of Our Blessed Mother in the room. Those have helped a lot and my friend now is sleeping very soundly at night.

I should also point out though that the frequent reception of the Sacraments of Holy Eucharist and Confession are a must in overcoming such evil presence lurking around. Let us be careful not to get involved in any occult practices, tarot card readings, ouija for it opens up our souls to the evil one without us knowing it. Let us instead continuously open our hearts to God’s love that we may do only His Most Holy Will with the intention to do good and only to please Him. God bless!

Blessed be Jesus and Mary!
