  • 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.

About half a year ago I had a dream during college that began the driving force that pushed and continues to push my faith to new heights. I remember every moment as if it happened to me in real life yesterday. On the surface the dream is not extraordinary but it was the experience, feeling, and power I felt what changed me.
This is how it started.......

All I could hear was a deep rumbling and all I can see was darkness. And then I began to open my eyes. It was as if I was sleeping but was just wakening. I woke to see the sky and it was early morning before you could see the sun. My vision was blurry but I could feel plastic around me. After fumbling around I realized they were trash bags and sat up and realized I was riding a garbage truck! Now I have no idea why I was on this truck but I assumed I was on my way to class (dream logic I guess haha). My surroundings were a blend of my neighborhood back home and my university campus. The truck was heading parallel to a reservoir that resembled one by my house back home. I then saw a shade of orange appear and yelled at the truck to stop.

The truck pulled to a halt and I jumped off. I walked towards the water and began to watch as the sun began to rise. Now this is where my very soul to shake! All of a sudden these vibrant colors began to bleed across the sky as this sun began to rose. I was in such awe because my spirit was in shock. And then suddenly these 3 doves flew across the sky. I fell to my knees and cry erupted from my mouth. Tears began to stream from my eyes and I began to shout!

"HE IS COMING SOON!
YES, HE IS COMING SOON!"
Now part of me had no idea what I was saying but another part of me knew very well what this meant. The weight of these words rested on my very spirit. As the feeling began to dissipate these men rose out of the water. They were all dressed in black and white suits. One of them pointed to me and they began chasing me. a terrible fear shook my heart and I ran with all my might. I ran and ran until I came across a crowd of people. These people were dressed in multiple beautiful colors and were like hippies in a way. They were all enjoying life and kissing each other and being very open. They opened up to me and embraced me. As I embraced one of them I awoke in my bed.

Now about this time it was about 5:30 AM and I didn't have class until 10:00 AM but I was not tired at all. This part is always the hardest to explain. But I felt lighter than ever. All of my worries and fears seemed to be gone. I felt as if I was like a CHILD. I felt what can only be described as LOVE! I saw the world in wonder and had no other urge than to spread this love to others. The feeling lasted all day.

I looked up the symbolic meanings of things indreams using this site and found it to be interesting.
http://www.dreammoods.com/
Garbage: To see piles of garbage in your dream represent rejected or unwanted aspects of yourself.
Garbage Truck: To see or drive a garbage truck in your dream indicates that you need to rid yourself of your old habits. You are carrying around too much negativity.
Sunrise:To see the sunrise in your dream represents new beginnings, renewal of life and energy, and fulfillment of your goals and purpose. You are about to embark on a new adventure in your personal life.
Doves:To see a dove in your dream symbolizes peace, tranquility, harmony, affection and innocence. In particular, to see a white dove in your dream represents loyalty, love, simplicity, gentleness and friendships. It may also signify a message and blessing from the Holy Spirit. You have let go of your thoughts of hate and revenge. If you dream that Jesus releases a white dove, then it refers to spreading the word of God.

Sorry this post is very long but this moment is what pushed me to fully commiting to God and I hope it could help or spark anything with you. ny comments would be helpful! God bless and love to you all!

Hey chasechrist,

Very interesting dream! I know exactly what you meant when you said "dream logic" lol. Maybe you should pray about this dream and voice your interest in it to God- perhaps He wanted to tell you something (or perhaps not I suppose), so it never hurts to ask Him! Have a great night.
