The Virgin Mary - A Dream

[Roopy]

Hi everyone

My second post on this forum, my first being in the meet and greet section.

I joined this forum because of a dream I had on Sunday which I really can’t get out of my mind since.

I am not Christian, I am from a Sikh family - although I have never really immersed myself as to a full pledging Sikh. I’ve always been open to other religions and their views on God and life. I find it all quite intriguing.

I’ll get right down to business then

In this dream, I was standing in a large field - an open field, just land, nothing else around me like mountains etc. Just land.

In the distance I saw this bright purple light and noticed that it was coming towards me - and I kept my focus on it thinking what is it? The light got closer and closer. As it was around 10-15 meters away from me I realised that it was not just a light, it was a person - and this person was the Virgin Mary!

I cannot describe the feeling I experienced at the exact moment I realised who it was. It was some kind of blend between fear and euphoria.

As the Virgin Mary got to about 5 meters in front of me, I dropped to my knees and put my hands in front of me and begged for her acceptance.

I said to Her, “I’m not Christian, but I do believe in a God, and I beg you to accept me”.

Without any hesitance Her reply was “I accept you”.

She had a smile on her face the entire time, even before I was spoke. She had this sense of calm and peace about her. So full of love. When Mary said she accepted me, she began to show affection and hugged me as a mother would hug her young child.

This dream left me quite shocked, and I spoke to my best mates who are Roman Catholics. I spoke to them separately and everyone of them said the same thing. That it was a sign, and that there was a reason to as why Mary visited me in a dream. They said that it’s unbelievable that I had a dream like that and that most Catholics would give anything to experience such a dream in their lifetime.

I’ve never ever had a religious-related dream, and I find myself seeking answers as to why I had that dream, what was the purpose of her visiting me?

I’ve contemplated perhaps becoming a Catholic, however, I did say that I was not Christian and she still said she accepted me.

I would love to hear your opinions on this, and thanks in advance.

Cheers, Roopy.

It could have been that she wants you to enter the Catholic church. You said you were thinking about it anyway, so why not just do it? She came from a distance, and approached you. Maybe it’s like you’re still far from God, and she wants you to draw nearer. Perhaps even walk with her as you meet her Son, Jesus.

But this is only guess work. I’ve never heard of a vision of Mary with her being surrounded by a purple light. Maybe you could talk with a priest about it. Or someone else who knows more about this sort of thing.

I said I was thinking entering the Catholic church as a result of having this dream… but I’m not sure if that’s what I’m meant to do. Like I said, I told Mary that I’m not Christian and she said she accepted me. That’s why I’m confused, I’m not sure what the purpose/meaning of this dream was.

And yeah a mate of mine also suggested talking to a Priest for more clarification, and I might do so on the weekend.

Cheers

Whether you are a Christian or not, God loves all of His children passsionately, as does His Mother. From a Catholic perspective, you already believe in Him and thus have some knowledge of the Truth, although not in it’s fullness. Perhaps Christ is sending His Mother(who, by the way, is human, not divine) to bring you to the fullness of the Truth in Jesus Christ. This is not unusual to Catholics. We believe that Mary always points the way to, and leads us to Jesus. If this is an authentic message from God, remember that Mary is the messenger, not the message, and was sent by the Will of God in your dream.

God can and does speak to us in dreams occasionally, there is precedent for this in the Bible and our tradition, but we do not go around interpreting every dream as meaning something significant, or live our lives by interpretation of our dreams. However, as I said before, sometimes God does speak to us in this manner, and that is something we have to discern.

I suggest you pray about this, perhaps ask one of your Catholic friends to show you how to pray the Rosary, which is a Marian devotion, and see what speaks to your heart. Also, if you have not already, start to study the Catholic faith and the Bible, and listen carefully with your mind and heart. God bless you.

Hello, I also have this kind of dream one time in my life:

I will not tell you my life, but I have a very difficult part in my life, I had to stop school, and I didn’t know if I can go again. I was desperate, and to pray was the only thing i could do.

I took drugs, at this moment, and i think i was so miserable i think even Gode have mercy on me.

I don’t know if my brain produce a beautiful dream, or if it is really a sign, because even if i have a catholic education, i question myself about God, I have not a 100% faith.

At this sad times, I had a dream:
<<I was in a kind of church, a place to pray, and on a table there was a little statue of virgin mary, whose size was about this of a baby or 2 years old little girl. The eyes of the statue begin to move, there were blue, like you can see the earth in, like pure sky, and i was afraid, because on these times people were a lot against me, and i was afraid the statue wants to hurt me.
After moving eyes, the statue quickly became a beautiful baby 2 years old girl, with kind of clean tissues like clothes, and she smile to me, i soon realized she will not hurt me, i don’t remember exactly the face, but i remember she has a right and a long nose, blue eyes, blond hair, she looks very young like a child, and in the dream i began to cry, because after all the things that happened to me, there was a person who was there for me.
I cried because it was like love and affection passes through her body, through her face like radiations, and each pulse of it tightens your heart, I take the girl below the arms, and i gave her a hug, like she was my daughter (I am a young boy though), and what I remember well is that she rested her forehead on my chest during the hug, to reconfort me.
To give an idea, I cried, in the dream, because the love in this dream it’s 10 to 100 times the love of your own parents or of your wife, and I think we can say it was the most beautiful woman who ever walk on earth, not only because of beautiful face, but a lot because of beautiful soul/heart.>>

I talk to it to a catholic man, a man of church who is also doctor, he said to me my brain probably makes a reassuring picture, but what I felt in this dream, I don’t think it’s only due to drugs, who were not hyper heavy by the way.

When i talk to it to a friend of my parents who is a grandmother now, she said the statue of Bechua of the virgin mary in Liban sometimes move her eyes towards people who prays, she said some says she has blue-green eyes.

I’m a bit ashame to tell you this because if I was a real christian, or just a real man full of faith, I would not talk to people to have proofs of God. My mother said one day it is bad to ask God proofs of him, and when he does, it hurts. If i can i will choose a picture who describes her well.
