Last night I had a dream where I went to my real biological Father and I asked him If I made it in, I felt as if I was watching over myself in the dream yet still feeling and interacting like I was myself in the dream, but I knew and understood everything that was happening even though I was like I was watching myself ask and do these things but still understanding why i was. The best way I can describe it was like being thrown in half way through a movie but still understanding what's happening and why the actors are doing and saying what they are. So I went and walked up to my dad and asked him "did I made it in?" I knew what I was talking about, I was asking him if I made it into the Kingdom of God, Heaven and he gave me a paper or a book and once I read whatever was on the paper or book I instantly began to cry and realize I knew nothing I did on earth was worth it and I began to feel helpless and I felt a fear and a regret so strong, the feelings are describable but I'm never able to describe the level of fear and crying and screaming. then I woke up. I am a christian, I do pray and I do repent, I do devote my life to him, I like to think of myself as a real christian, I do not just pray and repent once or twice and go on and live my life, I studied the bible so much and I have spent countless hours trying to follow Jesus Christ best I could, If I was actually to be dead and go to hell I don't know why I would. I'm not new or unclear about Christ, I know what path I need to be on and I know being lukewarm is not right, but I feel like maybe I am being lukewarm without knowing it? maybe there is something that is holding me back right now in life from the lord and being in the book of life? I know I struggle with sin but lord knows in my heart I try my best everyday to never fall into it, and Lord also knows I hate sin. What could this be?

There is no limit to Gods grace. His mercies are new every morning.

Lamentations 3:22-24New King James Version (NKJV)
22 Through the Lord’s mercies we are not consumed,
Because His compassions fail not.
23 They are new every morning;
Great is Your faithfulness.
24 “The Lord is my portion,” says my soul,
“Therefore I hope in Him!”

Here's all you need to do.
Matthew chapter 25 verses 31-46
When the Son of Man comes" in his glory, and all the angels with him, he will sit on his throne in heavenly glory. All the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate the people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. he will put the sheep on his right and the goats on his left. Then the King will say to those on his right, Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me. then the righteous will answer him, Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? When did we see you sick or in prison and got visit you? The King will reply, I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me. Then he will say to those on his left, Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. For I was hungry and you gave me nothing to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink, I was a stranger and you did not invite me in, I needed clothes and you did not clothe me, I was sick and in prison and you did not look after me.They also will answer, Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or needing clothes or sick or in prison, and did not help you? He will reply, I tell you the truth, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me. Then they will go away to eternal punishment, but the righteous to eternal life.

It was a dream, probably reflecting your anxiety about possibly going to hell. Anybody as concerned about going to hell as you ... ain't going ...

Listen to your God ...

John 10

27 “My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me; 28 and I give them eternal life, and they will never perish; and no one will snatch them out of My hand. 29 “My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of My Father’s hand.

I knew what I was talking about, I was asking him if I made it into the Kingdom of God, Heaven and he gave me a paper or a book and once I read whatever was on the paper or book I instantly began to cry and realize I knew nothing I did on earth was worth it
.
GALATIANS.2: = 15 We who are Jews by nature, and not sinners of the Gentiles, 16 knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law but by faith in Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Christ Jesus, that we might be justified by faith in Christ and not by the works of the law; for by the works of the law no flesh shall be justified.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _

We do not make it to the kingdom of God by what we do or did, but by what we believe/trust/have faith in what was done for our salvation by Jesus Christ on the Cross.

As per MATTHEW.5:17-48, the keeping of the Law(= works or deeds) by the Jews and Pharisees would not save them from hell when they die, eg did not commit murder, adultery, stealing, cheating/lying, idolatry, etc, even though such do-gooders could gain a good and long life on earth. To be saved from hell or make it to the kingdom of God, they needed to accept Jesus as their Messiah/Christ/Savior.
... Jesus told them that if they continued to reject Him as their Christ/Messiah but still wanted to be saved from hell, then they would have to pluck out their eyes and chop off their limbs, love their enemies, turn the other cheek, walk the extra mile and lend to all who ask. IOW, if they accepted Him, they would not have to do these "silly" deeds, in order to be saved.
... In effect, any tinge of immoral hate, anger, lust, greed, selfishness, jealousy and baseless fears/worries and doubts in their hearts would result in them being bound for hell = all humans are bound for hell because all of them have been born with Adam's Original Sin. Only the blood of Jesus could atone for this inborn Original Sin and save them from hell, as per ROMANS.5:12, LEV.17:11, HEBREWS.9:22, JOHN.1:29.

P S - Your biological father in the dream represents God the Father who art in heaven. The book likely refers to the Bible or Law/Word of God. You cried like a baby likely because you have yet to fully understand the salvation message of the Bible, like the babe in Christ of 1CORINTHIANS.3 who needed to feed on the Word.

Don't judge by how you are now. Look to God and how He can bring us to all His good. Keep on seeking God for Himself and for His correction which brings His love's perfection.

"Love has been perfected among us in this: that we may have boldness in the day of judgment; because as He is, so are we in this world." (1 John 4:17)

So, as we become corrected, we have assurance because we see how God is our Father truly and deeply correcting us > this is included in the assurance of our salvation, according to what I see in Hebrews 12:4-11. So, this is not only about how we try to do things with our own selves.

And as He perfects us in His love, this gives us "boldness in the day of judgment" > in 1 John 4:17. So, trust God for all He is able to do in us.

How we are now is not going. Who we become in Jesus is going :) So, make sure you have trusted in Christ > Ephesians 2:2 > and seek God for Himself > Hebrews 11:6 > and trust Him with all your concern (1 Peter 5:7), knowing He is guaranteed to succeed in all He means by all He says in His word (Isaiah 55:11).

he gave me a paper or a book and once I read whatever was on the paper or book I instantly began to cry and realize I knew nothing I did on earth was worth it
Well, if you were to go to hell, after all you did on this earth, then what you did would not be worth it. But >

I do pray and I do repent, I do devote my life to him, I like to think of myself as a real christian, I do not just pray and repent once or twice and go on and live my life, I studied the bible so much and I have spent countless hours trying to follow Jesus Christ best I could,
As much as God knows you have been honest with Him, what you have done is worth it, but now you need to go on to all His word says to do, now. And know God is the One who has us doing His word the way He means His word. We are not on our own. God is committed, more than we are; so we are depending on Him. And He does not fail; He will do His word in us, better than we have tried :)

Have you considered asking the LORD Himself? You could even use the part I quoted here, and turn it into a prayer. He's the One Who knows the answer and loves you the most! :)
