He'll save me from my fear

Well, I did not know there was a dream section on this forum, but I am excited to share this one with everyone, and to get some input; although He has already shown the meaning unto me.

I had this dream a number of months ago when I was questioning back and forth with myself whether or not Christ would take His Own before The time of God's Wrath.

God knew that I was afraid, terrified, that if I would have to go through that frightful period, that I would be deceived away from Him. Some background knowledge on me: About two years ago I was heavily involved in psychadelic usage(marijuana and shrooms) and this was also the time I was beginning to believe in God. I started digging into some conspiracy theories and began questioning everything around me. God started showing me Truth, what had happened to the world, and how evil had it's teeth tightly clenched on every aspect of the life I knew.
Basically, I began to see evil, for what it really was. He was showing me the way He sees things. Everything from tv, to money, to cars, to houses, to governments. Everything. Sometimes it would be so overwhelming the depth of the evil I would be able to percieve that it would literally take effort to keep from breaking down and freaking out when in public places exposed to this reality.
I bring this up to point out this; before coming into the strong relationship I now have with God, evil terrified me. I wanted nothing to do with it, and I knew and could percieve how real God and how real the devil are.
Ultimately this turned me to God, but even after I came to trust that He will always be with me and that I would go be with Him when I died, tribulation still scared me. The persecution of the saints, having to run from the military, having to live in a place where satan is present really uneased me.
Before this dream, I did some research on pre-trib rapture, but still was not convinced and still had an internal fear of the forces of evil and one day being taken by them or deceived by them.

Then one night, God sent me this:

I was on this wide expanse of land, with beautiful perfectly cut grass and trees, rivers and streams. (I live in a retirement community of mainly golfcourses and lakes) I was with my friend and some of her friends, we were swimming in one of the streams. When the dream began, I immediately had the foreknowledge that there were evil beings present respresented by red auras that, when it became dark, would lead all people they caught, to the same destruction they were headed to. I knew these were evil spirits. In my dream it was getting dark, and I hearkened unto my friends that we HAD to leave, that evil would come and lead us to destruction if we didn't. They didn't listen to me, my friend was indifferent and wanted to swim more than she wanted to listen. I kept trying but they were deaf and blind to the words I said. I finally had to leave them to head home. When I was probably about 100ft away from them, all the sudden, I was caught up into the sky. (For the past couple years I have mastered the art of flying in my dreams, no joke, anytime, any given dream, I can fly.) In my previous dreams, I would exert too much effort and it would inturn fling me wayyy up high, which would terrify me, I would start falling, and the rollercoaster effect would follow. This dream was different. I went higher than I have ever gone even to this day in this dream, which had I been alone, I would have been HORRIFIED of the height I was flying. But I wasn't alone. I was holding on to what seemed like my dad, but wasn't my earthly dad; it was a Father figure and feeling. He was infront of me on what seemed to be this train, that we were ontop of that he was flying. As we went up into the sky I looked down, and saw the red auras go where my friends were. They took them, but I was safe. I didn't fear anything at all, I felt a calm.

After I woke up, I knew what He had told me. Prior to this dream for about a year, I was coming into God and warning all my friends that tribulation was coming, that God was real. They never listened, and have now faded from my life. They don't believe in God, and do drugs and party, like I use to and we really have nothing in common anymore. Just last week, I decided to leave the last 2 friends I had from my old life behind.
He told me that they would be blind, they would not believe me, and that I would have to leave them. But He took away my fear, because He will take the One's He knows and the One's who love Him before this evil falls upon the world. The train I was on represents my walk, my journey. Of course, the red auras represent demons of satan who tempt mankind and lead them to the same fate they will have; seperation from God.

The loss of your friends is very similar to that insecurity of flying. You saw that clinging to the Father was all you needed to be yourself and keep moving above the situation.

Many people who dream of flying love the experience, so it was unusual to hear you frightened by not having your feet on the ground. But it makes total sense, that you chose to leave some of your securities behind and it was disarming.

May God bring you some great supportive friends! Ones who can pray with you and rise above too.

The red auras reminded me of the gift of discerning spirits, and I wonder if God is showing you more than the average observation in this. Some people, when allowing God to work through them, can sense the nature of a spirit -- both human and supernatural. Keep an eye out for what God might be doing through you.

I went through a similar experience. Once I decided to obey God as best as I could. I quit drinking, quit smoking, quit partying, I even refused to take drugs you could buy off the shelf. But praying and reading was all I did. I didn't have a life at all. I didn't go to church because by now I read too much and didn't trust any church at all.

Well I am just starting to go to church again because I came to the same realization. God knows who's are His and the majority of the World and every church may be corrupt but He is God and He knows who's are His and He will Save his own. I just pray that I am not deluding myself if I think I belong to Him. Tribulation is God's way of spanking his children when they're bad. If I go through it, I'll just have to remember my sins. I have to learn to just Trust God.

I am a very independent person, and leaving my friends was no problem, the only thing that was hard about it was that I still do care about them. I am a stronger, happier and more confident person without them. So, I can't agree with your statement of flying being scary because of no friends.
I did however twist it to exactly what I now know it means: When I could not fly, my spirituality was dead. As I began to start to fly, and be able to control it, I was coming into my spirituality. When I am conscience and walking closely to God and staying away from sin, I always fear that I will lose my standing and fall. This mirrors over to my dreams, I get reall high up and fear falling; but these were dreams from months upon months ago. I can now fly in my dreams, and as long as I don't look down, I can go as high as I want, without being afraid. In my dream last night, I flew everywhere, with no fear. And also, it's not the flying I am afraid of, the flying is my favorite and best part of my dreams, I was afraid of falling.

So, I somewhat agree, I largely disagree. The dream was about saving me before evil is allowed to truly manifest on earth, The Wrath; I stand on that solid without doubt. If the red auras were discerning spirits, why was I T E R R I F I E D of them, and why did I KNOW they would lead all who came in contact with them straight to destruction?

I will share another dream I had the other day. So, I was around this beautiful pine forest and this old old wooden church building on a hill. Secluded, nobody was there, but there was absolute peace, I was not afraid. The pine trees were I would say over 200ft tall and the pines and greenery were only at the very top, the entire 200ft bottom trunk was just smooth. Anyway, I was 'control flying' literally slowly gliding by my own power up and up the trunks, going all the way until I got to the greenery at the top. In this dream, as well as all dreams I have nowdays, I looked down, but instead of freaking out and actually falling, although I was HIGH HIGH HIGH, I had faith and believed in my ability to fly so strongly that I stayed up. And then slowly glided back down as before.

What God has been telling me in these dreams is that, when I am 'high' with Him, now that He has made me stronger, I am less worried about falling and my trust and faith is more secure on Him keeping me up, or keeping me safe even if I do fall.

About 3 or 4 years ago, I drew a pencil picture in a notebook, based on the song by Tom Petty, and when I saw it last week behind another picture on my wall, it shocked me how true it really is to my life, and how I drew that and wrote this on it before I even began seeking or wanting to know God.

I'm learing to fly

I agree jonahthesign. That is where I am at now, I see people regularly, but my main activities are, meditating on God, reading about God, praying to God. At first I was a bit lonely or bummed that my life was so, at the time 'boring', but now, I honestly could not be happier. I have two great friends, who have a real connection with Him, that I can call throughout the week, or meet up with when needed. Church provides a comfort, mainly just a place with other Christians, althought there are tares, when I can shine the light God gives. And, I am a BIGGG stranger-talker. I love all people, and try to communicate with and make smile everyone I meet. I love making people laugh or smile.
When you have friends like that who are still in the past and not moving foward, you have to leave them behind. I have to agree with my dad; I would have gotten nowhere had I stayed with them doing the same things I was.

You're the one discerning, not the spirits -- the gift is the ability to sense whether they (human or not) are dangerous or beneficial. In your dream, you knew they were dangerous.
Of course, the red auras represent demons of satan who tempt mankin
