  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

Hello everyone, I had a dream about a week ago, and I wasn't going to post, but it is the first dream I've had in a while and it has been nagging at me. So here it goes, in my dream I was standing on the bank of a river where I had recently been fishing in real life. It was dusk, the sky was a greenish shade, across the river there was a bright light, a spotlight (like you see outside movie theaters for big premiers) that was aimed at me. At times the light was up in the air pointing down at the river, but the reflection of light off the water was still shining on me, and other times the light was shining straight across and hitting me directly. I was never scared or nervous, I was just trying to figure out what it meant, I was trying to discern a meaning about the dream while dreaming it, which was a first for me. At first I thought maybe it meant nothing, because as I said I had been there in real life fishing at night and there were people across the river using flashlights, but nothing this big or bright, and the fact that I kept asking in my dream "God, is that you? What does this mean? Am I supposed to go towards the light?" Anyways like I said I was not scared or nervous, just confused as to what it meant. Any thoughts? I have my ideas, but I'm curious to hear what you have to say, I'll post my thoughts after I hear some of yours whom seem to have a gift for this.

Thanks-

It's time for the sun to shine again, the moon to reflect it's light again, and the stars to twinkle again!

It would seem a dream of encouragment, the light shinning being the light of Christ shining upon you, and the water-river being Gods Word, which is our river of water of life. The Word of God. It would seem that you may just be in a little need as we all are for a little edification knowing you are standing in the light and beside the river.

Thank you for posting ForZion and millerrod, I appreciate you both sharing your thoughts on this, I have my thoughts on what it could mean, and I hope you'll give me your feedback on these as well. I was thinking that either I need to get baptized again ( I was raised Catholic, so I was baptized as an infant) the light hovering in the air shining down on the water casting the reflection on to me, almost as to say the way to the light is IN the water. Or, I thought it could mean that like Moses and the Israelites, I have not yet crossed the river, I was on one side and God was on the other. Maybe there is something I am not doing yet that God wants me to do, and it is keeping me from the promised land. I have not been blessed with the gift of dream interpretation, so that is why I came here seeking guidance from those that are, and at the same time I am a bit of a pessimist, always doubting my salvation. I know I am not worthy, and I am trying every day to please the lord. Any thoughts, please let me know. Thanks
