I dream about religious orders....and phatmassers. Strange combination. At least everyone's speaking English, because the day that French starts coming out of every phatmassers mouth in my dreams will be too wierd. :nun:

When I was 11 or 12 I had a dream where Mary came and walked with me on a trail through a forest. We had a conversation. She told me that someday when I was ready, I would remember it. I woke up with the most profound sense of peace. When I was 16, I dreamed I was present at the Crucifixion. I also dreamed that I was representing Jesus before Pilate. That dream occurred when I was in law school and was actually sort of amusing. I was freaking out because I couldn't remember the Federal Rules of Evidence and then I realized that the Romans weren't bound by 20th century US law and then I realized I was dreaming and woke up.

Funny, I never have. So many unexpected people show up in my dreams, I'm surprised in a way that Jesus or Mary have never shown up. I certainly think about them enough.

However, earlier this year, the night before I was to have a difficult dental procedure, I felt the presence of Mary and (I think) an angel in my bedroom. It was just a feeling--I didn't see or hear anything. But, I felt Mary saying that she and the angel would stay with me the whole time, and very unusually for me, instead of being panicked, I was very calm both the night before and the day of the procedure. It didn't make the procedure less awful--afterwards I felt as if I had undergone major surgery, not simply having a tooth pulled, and I was essentially bedridden for a week afterwards. But, not to feel panicked beforehand was wonderful.

I had hoped this was the beginning of a major change and a growth in faith and trust for me, but it was a one-time thing.

Still, it DID happen--nothing like that has ever happened before, and I have never had visual or aural hallucinations in the past, so it was not a sign of psychosis. And, I KNOW it was not a product of my imagination.

I don't think I have had any dreams with Jesus and Mary actually in them, but I have had dreams and visions of a religious nature:

-- When I was discerning with the Carmelite Sisters of the Divine Heart of Jesus and had applied to enter, I had a dream that I was walking down the street from my house to the Church. I was visiting home for a week and was in the full Carmelite habit and veil of the order. That was neat.

--When I was suffering from depression, I had some really bad instances with what I believe were demonic spirits threatening me and I kept seeing distorted white faces all around me. They were horrible. I was coming off a medication that I had a bad reaction to and I might have been hallucinating, I don't know, but that is not like me. I've never experienced hallucinations before or since. Anyway, there was one particularly bad night when I was praying with my mom for the faces to go away. I looked over and saw this vision of an angel all in white. It was so peaceful. The angel had a harp and played music until I went to sleep. My mom said she felt something, but when I described it to her, she said she felt peace, but she didn't see what it was.

I've had some stuff like that happen but I don't really pay much attention to it anymore unless for some reason it's just kind of stuck in my train of thought for the rest of the day.

There was a really wierd one once about St. Padre Pio going to a pizzeria with a chainsaw in his hands and screaming that I had to go to Confession.

The night Saint Pio was first exhumed he was in one of my dreams. He told me to pray more. I have also woken up praying my old eucharistic routine and could tastse the eucharist in my mouth. My mom was visitted by St. Anthony of Padua in the night once. She levatated and my dad on the other side of the bed having satanic nightmares.

When I was in college, I had a dream where I was an angel in heaven. I'm sure the dream had some sort of plot (there was something I was supposed to do, etc), but the only part I really remember was when I had the opportunity to be in God's presence, and I freaked out and woke up ;).

Guess I'm not ready for heaven yet!

Though now that I think about it, that's not the only dream I've had where someone looked at me and I woke up. It's just unique as to...why...I panicked, I guess. I felt like the consequences would be...real, and that particular dream is unique in other ways.

But as for the run-of-the-mill type of dream, this morning, I was having a long and complicated dream that involved family politics and murder. By the end, I was standing on a plot of land between a woods and a lake that was where we'd buried the bodies, but it had obviously been dug up, and three skeletons (completely articulated, I might add) were visible in their shallow graves. I wasn't the murderer, and I don't think I'd had much part in burying the bodies, but I was thinking I should move them before anyone else saw them (I guess I was going to dump them in the lake), when I heard music. I looked up, and saw a man playing an accordian walking along the edge of the woods. I realized that I was standing alone next to three dead bodies, and it looked [i]really[/i] bad, but I couldn't think of any way to quickly hide that fact. So, I just looked at him, and he looked up at me...and then down at the skeleton in the grave, and he looked up really scared/horrified. I remember thinking, 'How am I going to stop him from calling the police?' and then startling awake.

I really hope that particular dream doesn't have any significance or meaning beyond watching too many crime shows on TV!

I don't know that I've had dreams where I've seen/met any Saints or God, but I've had dreams where I start praying, usualy the Hail Mary. In high school, when we were watching "The Patriot" I dreamed I was a colonial soldier and that we were hiding in piles of leaves in the forest and the British were coming through and stabbing the piles with bayonets, and I started praying that they wouldn't find me. I've also dreamed (in a totally unrelated dream) that I was dying, because I had been shot in the back of the head, and I remember thinking, "It will be okay, the ambulance will be here, soon. I don't want to go to Heaven, because they'll just bring me back when the ambulance gets here...but if I go to Heaven I can come back and tell [specific friend] what it's like!" :crazy:

[i]One of my most favourite dreams:[/i]
I and the Lord were hiking up a huge rocky hill, behind me where other young men, in the dream the Lord wore his white cloak, <not sure if this is the proper term) but it was old and somewhat almost dirty.
He held his staff in his right hand, hiking up with the Lord was difficult, but in the dream I experienced such extreme over the top joy, that words aren't made to discribe such an event. I was so happy that I remember in the dream thinking
can someone help? or teach me as to how to live with such joy?! it was almost difficult to breath experiencing it. When I woke up I thought that the greatest worldly joy needs to be multiplied by x10 000 000 to experience this.
I dreamed this about 4 years ago, and remember this as if it really happened.

My roommate told me that the other night, I was sleep talking, and said something along the lines of "Okay, Jesus." and was just talking to him. I don't remember it though.
