A Dream I Had...

[thunderbyrd]

i believe this will probably be a good place to share a dream i had about 5 yrs ago...

it was night, and i was flying thru the sky! i was absolutely free in the Holy Spirit and full of profound joy...i looked up at the sky above me and it was unbelieveably beautiful! Night is not evil in and of itself, our God created night so it is good - and if you could only have seen it as i did, i saw the nighttime as God Himself must see it, the most glorius deep dark blue-purple...and lights like lightening shot all thru it, and all ALIVE! with the joy of the Lord...and i was going higher above the night even..

...then i felt a pull on me! something was holding me back, and man, i didn't like that at all. i looked down...and i know it don't make no sense, but i had a bruce springsteen song chained to my ankle! how does one chain a song to an ankle? i don't know i just know nothing shall be impossible with God.

anyhow, i couldn't get free from it and it held me back from rising up and being as free in the Spirit as i wanted to be...and then i woke up, still seeing in my mind's eye that beautiful deep color...


...and i knew without a doubt then and now that it was from the Lord: 1st of all, nothing in my natural mind is that beautiful! 2d: I did NOT wake up feeling condemned and as if i had been warned never to listen to rock n roll, there was none of that attitude in it, it was just an insight for me to use: The lord was saying: i know you like that, but look at what i've got, isn't it a whole lot better? (and oh yes, He was for sure right about that!)

so anyway, i'm glad this forum is here because i love to tell those kind of things...please tell about dreams the Lord has given you.

Wow!

When I first read your request for others to share similar things with the membership here, I backed-out and decided not to post. But I suppose I've changed my mind. I had a vision which the Lord gave me quite a few years ago, but I've only shared it with a couple of people besides my wife, and never on-line. Here goes:

My wife and I were involved in a worship service some years ago during which I had this vision. I'd never had such an experience previously, and I've never been in such a service before where it seems that no one and nothing else but Jesus was on the minds and in the hearts of everyone there. That's what I perceived anyway. I began to see a scene superimposed in front of me with my eyes wide open (I was not imagining this in my mind). In this vision I began walking through this stream (I say stream but it could have been a river, but I was not sinking), and as I walked forward hands began to reach out from under the water; and as I progressed forward I was grabbing the hands and pulling people out from under the water. This lasted for several minutes. That's the extent of it.

As I said, I've never had anything like this happen since, but I can tell you that what I saw and experienced before me was as real as the computer I'm now typing on. I told a pastor about this one time and he gave me what he said was an interpretation of that vision. I'll keep that private; but I believe I know what it was the Lord was telling me prior to his interpretation.

Yeah, those dreams and visions are great to hear about. I'd love to see night from God's point of view.

A few months after my dad died I had this dream that I was walking across this park. I came to this scene where a man was turned away from me, and he was leading a group of kids who were facing me, singing on risers. I knew it was heaven, and these were kids that were there. Now, in real life my dad led a kids' choir, and so I wondered if it could be him leading them. I went around to see his face, and it was a healthy version of my dad. Didn't look the same but I knew it was him.

In the dream I was focused on finding out if the man was my dad, but ever since then I've been haunted by the music. It was eerie in a non-scary way. Lots of harmonies. Like the scale there goes way beyond the eight-note scale we know, so there can be more notes in a chord, and so there's way more harmony. It doesn't make sense, but that's just how I remember it. Every now and then I'll hear something that reminds me of that music--a snatch of a song, and I'll say, "That's it! It was like that!" There's this little village in Madagascar where they sing acapella and the music there is a little bit like what I heard. One night my praise band was singing along with a Revival in Belfast song, trying to learn it, and the harmony was like that dream.

Very cool, guys.

I was in a prayer session several years ago. A woman was divorcing her husband. She believed he had cheated on her, and was spitefully doing things to him that no Christian should ever do.

As I prayed, in my own room, I "saw" a dogfight, spirits like old WWII fighters buzzing, dipping and swirling. They reminded me of wasps in a frenzy. I suddenly realized the woman was in a spiritual battle, not just a legal one. I cried as I prayed, begging the Lord to help her fight.

As months and years went by, though, her behavior only got worse. I understand she's since had some real emotional problems, and wonder if she chose to not fight that battle but give in. Or maybe the emotional problems had already started. I don't know but I wonder and still pray for her.

STeelstrum, i've heard that music too. i've also had the experience of the fragrance of the Lord. my wife and i both smelled it in 1995. beautiful and i don't know how to describe it except it comes from a better place.

Wow, I've never been to this part of the forum before. Very interesting stuff.

The dream about the hands in the water could be a calling on your life to preach or be a missionary, to save people that are drowning in their sins. Very interesting though. ;)
