electricdisk Posted March 10, 2004 Share Posted March 10, 2004 This morning, when I woke up, I felt like I had a dream about God, but I cannot remember it. I should have gotten up in the middle of the night and wrote it down when or after it happened. *** Anyway, the point of this thread is to post dreams about God/Angels/Saints etc.. (not dreams about winning the lottery) *** Who was there? What were the circumstances? I have dreams about the eucharist quite often, I guess I will post them here now that there is a place. **** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nikkan_hanil Posted March 10, 2004 Share Posted March 10, 2004 I actually had a dream about Satan last night. Kept me up, it felt so real... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marielapin Posted March 10, 2004 Share Posted March 10, 2004 Well the most vivid dream about God that I can remember went like this: Satan and his demons were surrounding me, chasing me. So I run to the Church, and one of the priests was there waiting. He was holding a Ciborium filled with the Eucharist. He told me to follow him outside where there was a huge picture of the Sacred Heart painted on the pavement. He told me to stand with him on the painting and he held up the Ciborium; he told me that Satan hated the Sacred Heart and he hated the Eucharist. A powerful bright light started shining from the Ciborium and the demons and Satan flinched away in disgust. It was a pretty powerful dream. I also have other dreams about Satan but I haven't had one that I can clearly remember in a while. The above dream occured before I even went through RCIA, I was still learning about Catholicism and I was ready to join the Church. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lounge Daddy Posted March 10, 2004 Share Posted March 10, 2004 I often have very freighting dreams involving Satan – or some evil presence, and I sometimes wake up screaming (a few times with tears) – for real. It’s strange I am posting this on the Internet, when I have not shared this with anyone before (except my wife). Hmmmmm… I really think this is one reason I sleep during the day and stay awake all night. I really don’t like waking up screaming and in cold sweat – and I am afraid it will trouble my children. What would you do? Should I talk to a priest? Not worry about it? I can always stand to pray more (tee-hee). But I have chosen to sleep during the daylight hours, I do not have these dreams so often, and when I do they are almost always less intense… maybe because I sleep a bit lighter with sunshine on my face. So, now that this is in the open - I welcome all and any thoughts the same way I try to welcome everything in life... with a smile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Getting this off your chest is a good start and should help a lot. If you have a trusted priest friend I might mention it to him. Since you've already talked about it with your wife and with your pham, it should be easier in telling him. I've had these same sort of dreams, and usually forcing myself to tell my husband is the first step in getting over them. For some reason after you've had the dream and you feel scared and unsettled - somehow you don't want to share, as if sharing the dream will make it come true. But I've found that once I tell someone - which is always my husband - the fears and doubts fly away. If these dreams are extremely intense, I would also talk to a priest. He might know something you could do to ward off these demons. Exorcism and demons are real and are not anything to mess with. There have been some pretty scary stories told here about them.

I was asleep (for real) and I heard a crowd saying "Hail Mary Full of Grace, the Lord is with thee" outside my window. They all had candles and were saying the rosary. Like you mention, it was sooo real, it scared me. It was so loud, that it woke me up, and it feel so real I went to my window to look out (I was on the 2nd floor). No one was outside on the ground, so I went back to sleep, but it happened again. The force of the voices woke me up again. After the 2nd time (my heart was beating really fast, like when you are afraid) so I stayed up and prayed instead of going back to sleep right away.

pegger Posted March 10, 2004 Share Posted March 10, 2004 Some one asked for Eucharistic Dreams....Well this one fits in. It happened about a month ago. A Priest had died, and I was debating going to the funeral. There would be alot of people there, and I thought that some people would need to be there more then me so I decided just to stay in since I had already taken the afternoon off. I instantly was overcome with the urge to sleep, so thats what I did. While I was sleeping I had a dream that I was celebrating Adoration of the Blessed Sacrement and Benediction. It seemed so real. In the Dream Fr. Driscol was also there, as well as many people whom I knew were praying for him. I may not of spent the time at his funeral, but we were definatly praying together.

Rebirth flame Posted March 10, 2004 Share Posted March 10, 2004 i had a funky dream once upon a time... it was kinda weird, so bear with me... alright, it started out with being able to see a bunch of weird indestinguishable figures with a red tint to them. Slowly you could start to see the actual figures, and it was pretty bad stuff. things like murder or theivery or abuse, that kinda stuff. then, it started shifting to stuff that had happened to me in my life, both good and bad. things that either made me really grateful to God, and things that made me question my faith. then, the red tint and all the figures inside of it just plopped apart, and you could tell that they were all in a drop of blood. the blood landed on some dirt and dead grass, and then my mind looked upward, and i was staring at Jesus hanging on the cross. the whole dream was from a third person kinda viewpoint until that blood splattered to the ground. then, it was suddenly just me staring up at Him... then, everything just went bright (not white, there's a difference ), and i woke up. it was really freaky cuz that was the first time that i had ever had a dream like that...

Colleen Posted March 10, 2004 Share Posted March 10, 2004 One time when I was a very little kid I had a very powerful dream. I dreamed that i was riding in this car alongside this lake. I looked out at the lake and there was Mother Mary beckoning to me. Then I think I walked over to her (on the water!). I don't remember what happened after that. But I've never forgotten it, which is strange because I rarely remember my dreams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jude Posted March 11, 2004 Share Posted March 11, 2004 I had a couple of weird religious dreams. The first is that I walked into a church, and there was Jesus, and he traced a cross on my forehead with the blood from his wounds. I woke up feeling very peaceful. The other was more demonic. I was walking into St. Paul's, and there was a mass going on. Instead of a priest, there was a shapeless, terrifying shadow performing the mass. The thing I remember the most about the shadow is what it looked like when it elevated the host. I looked down, and i was cradling a small dog in my arms. I put my fingers in my mouth, and traced a cross on the dog's forehead with my saliva. I woke up feeling empty, prayed a rosary, and went back to sleep. Anyway those are my two dreams with religious themes. The thing that concerns me the most is why these things are appearing in my dreams. Do I just have that much psychological baggage? Is anyone else going through RCIA, and having intense dreams, or has that happened to anyone here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
