Dreams

[Joelk]

Hello ALL.
I have a question that doesn't really have anything to do with Christianity. I'm asking it here because I don't want to sound like a wuss in front of my friends.
Every once and a while over the past two years I have a dream about a girl. In the dream nothing sexual happens. But I feel deep love for this "person" and I never get to see her face. The weird thing is, is I feel this love for "her" for few days after the I have had the dream.
I've dated some girls but I've never actully been in love.
The question is, does anyone else know if this is normal, or if it happens to anyone else too?....Joel

It's normal. I new a guy who would dream these very logically plotted stories about him marrying this one girl he knows, and he's not in love with her or anything, but he keeps dreaming these dreams.

I have dreamped non-sexual dreams where I am living in perfect bliss with my future husband, I take care of an old man who's always complaining, to earn my living, he was a wood ranger to earn his living. The whole story was about me preparing berry Jell-o for supper, feeding it to the old man in my care and thinking he'd complain about it, saying he wanted cherry Jell-o, but he didn't, he just made an ungreatful face. For my husband, I knew almost by intuition, that berry jell-o is exactly what he wants when he comes back. It was like a telepathic knowledge. And I was right. he came home smelled the Jell-o and told me that that's exactly what he felt like eating. We sat down at the table and told each other the events of the day. We loved each other. We respected each other above all things, we accepted each other just as we were and the thing is there wasn't the smallest kiss in that dream.

It's perfectly normal. I know another story about someone else, but I hesatate to tell it, because of the way the dream came true...

Do you know the girl? Or is this a girl you've made up in your head?.....just curious. Either way, I think what you're experiencing is normal.

 

[Joelk]

No I don't know "her". I don't even know what "she" looks like.

Actually the third example, but don't take this to be the case in your dreams, was a man who kept dreaming of this girl he didn't know, all he knew was what her preasence was like, her blond hair and the exact crookedness of her teeth. The one day he met such a woman. The exact same crooked teeth. To make the story short, he ended up marrying her. The parents were opposed, he was 15 years older than her, but they turned outto be one of those perfect partners.

I kinda didn't want to write this story because of it's implictions.

Its normal. I had such dreams when I was younger and always enjoyed the lingering residual the feelings.

I have a dream frequently when I am at my wedding. Everything is perfect, and I know I am marring the man who is perfect for me, the one that God chose for me, but I never can see his face. It's very simmalar to your dream.

The timing of this thread is hilarious. I had a dream a couple of nights ago that a girl kissed me on the neck. I have no clue who it was, though.

I have these vivid, lucid dreams. One in particular dream I met this girl and her family. I still remember each of them. Something had happened to me and I had passed out in the parking lot of a store that they owned/ran. I awakened (in my dream) to find myself on the couch in their living room. The mom had been caring for me overnight. The daughter helped her. Her three younger brothers were just curious as to where I came from.

I have lots of dreams like that...so many that I started an online portfolio of them awhile back.

Okay - interpret this one however you wish!

When I was younger (about age 16-22), I had a recurring sexual dream, in which I would be making love with someone, and suddenly realise that I was the man! Or I would dream that I had a p*n*s, and it would seem absolutely normal, until I woke up.

I used to wake up and feel terrible for days about it.

Hello ALL.

Well even though you can't see her face you feel like you love her. This could maybe be God's way of showing you there is someone out there just for you all you have to do is wait on Him and on His timing to bring this girl into your life. Cause like you said you have dated other girls but never really loved them you will just have to be patient!

Well, one time I had a dream that I met Satan, and had daily meetings with him. Now that was weird. Another time, last night actually, I had a dream that I was meeting Jesus. A lot of religious dreams, huh?

He was just like I thought He would be...

 

[hotarugari]

I don't think I've had anything so weird as of late. I'm glad my dream life is normal. Now, if only my real life was...

I do remember as a kid having this reoccuring dream that I was chased by vampires. Really it was everyone becoming vampires until I was the last one.

After several instances, near the end of the dream, when they were about to get me, I backed out of the scene into a living room watching the prior scene on TV and changed the channel. I don't think I was ever so happy to hear the white noise from a TV set.

It's pretty cool what you can do in dreams.

​

This is actually a vision that I had one day at work. The image still haunts me to this very day. I had gotten out of the church at this point due to some run ins and differences in views on some activities that I was partaking in. I fell back into the same routines that I had practiced years before I met God or got involved in the church. The vision occurred as I went to the restroom. Looking down into the sink, I washed and rinsed my hands. As I straightened up to grab the paper towel dispenser, I caught my reflection in the mirror. I stepped back in shock. As the realization of what I was seeing overtook me, the shock wore off and fascination set in. Before me in the mirror was me. But the head looked like it had passed through fire. There was not a single hair that had not been burned off. The entire bald head was a mass of scar tissue. The ears had been melted and had dripped down to the neck where they dried into place. The nose as well was non-existent. It melded in with the upper lip as the fire had consumed the soft flesh. Where there used to be eyes, the lids had been closed shut and were covered with large mounds of scar tissue. The lips had been welded shut from the intense flame. The head shook back and forth, as if it were trying to shake loose the morbid bonds that imprisoned it. Like a wave, the meaning of this vision overtook me, crashed down into my soul and made my heart skip a beat. The head I was seeing was the condition of my very soul. The ears had been burned from the off-color jokes that I liked to listen to now. The mouth, from telling them. The eyes had been burned shut from the countless things that I had witnessed that I shouldn't have. The entire head had passed through a holy Godly fire of refining and had failed miserably. It reminded me that while I might think that some of these things didn't affect me, they affected me inside, they affected the person that I was and was to be in the future.

Goodness, I think I'd faint from terror if I was presented with such a vision....

Once I dreamped that I was seeing a guy on whom I had a cruch, projected on a screen before me, filmed like some magnificent monument-statue would be filmed, with the clouds in the sky in an amazing pattern and the sun shining through brightly. The screen was framed with these rainbow colors that swished all around. There was a strange writing that I couldn't read printed above. Then I heared another part of me reading the writing saying: "I know you love him... But he's not... You will see... Don't worry, don't worry!" The frase about "He is not..." seems to me to have been something that hinted my not being ment for him, and the thought, back then, scared me completely, so much that I surpressed the words and can't remember them any more, and even the words "Don't worry" didn't calm me down. Perhaps I was afraid of those words, and therefore didn't listen. Too bad.

I've had dreams about girls. Last year, I had a "sequence" about different ones. The one I remember (well....fondly remember) most was of a girl that I used to like who kept on looking at me in a classroom but quickly turned away when I looked back at her. When I finally got the picture, I didn't approach her or anything. I just moved to the seat in front of her so she could get a better look without being interrupted.

Another dream I had last year:


I was in the law school's chapel and I saw Jesus. Things were flying around all around him in the chapel (heavy things like statues and such) like they were twigs, but His presence was so calm and welcoming. Despite everything that was going on, I wasn't afraid at all and He was the only thing I cared about focusing on.

 

[Brooke]

That's how I felt when I met Jesus in my dream too!

It was real nice. I wonder if the Lord sometimes makes dreams.
