healing dream with Jesus

[soarin12]

A few months ago my beloved pet cat was hit by a car.  There was a lot of blood and she suffered a long time.  I was there by her side and tried to comfort her with my voice.  When she heard my voice she meowed in response and tried to drag herself to me but I couldn't help her...  I've lost people and pets from my life before but this incident triggered in me a deep grieving and sadness not only for the loss of my pet, but also about how life can be so cruel and full of suffering.

I reached out to Jesus as I always do in the bad times.  I asked him to come to me--to meet with me some how.  Two days later my prayer had not been answered and my grief and depression were the same.  Then on the third day (night actually) I had a dream.  I was sitting at a desk in a classroom.  I was supposed to be studying but I didn't want to be there.  I didn't care about the class or the homework.  Nothing really mattered...Then the teacher walked into the room.  I never got a real clear look at his face but as he started to teach the class, I realized I was actually interested in what he was teaching.  In fact i was becoming totally inspired.  I started participating in the discussion and caring about learning again.  The teacher was so alive, caring and encouraging!  Then he paused and his attention came to rest on me personally.  He walked over to me and held my head in his hands.  An amazingly powerful deep love began to flow from him into me.  Then he held me fully in his arms and the love continued to flow.  I could feel it flowing from him into me and from me back to him.  For about 15 minutes I stayed in his arms and just basked in this powerful love.  The next morning when I woke up I remembered everything and was filled with joy!  I still missed my cat from time to time but the deep sadness and grieving were totally healed.  I'm so grateful for the amazing gift of this dream!

* The only thing i couldn't remember from the dream the next morning was what the subject matter of the class was.  I'm sure i wasn't supposed to remember that, though, because the whole classroom thing was  symbolic for "life".

That was really such an amazing dream. You are very lucky that you get love from Jesus.

This experience really helped your perspective on life itself. Being shown pure unconditional love in this way helped you to see through the emotional side.

A light in a dark place when you needed it.

Very nice dream, and good to know that even Christians like yourself can be spiritual and allowed to pursue other ways of knowing, such as AP/OOBE...I really wish I knew more Christians in real life who were like you, because most of the ones I met think anything spiritual, or even any religion that isn't evangelical, non-denominational Protestantism, is false and of the Devil. They were the ones who gave me that constant, cancerous, nagging fear. But I won't cover that here because it's not positive at all.

Anyways, you aren't the only one whose prayers are answered through a dream. That has happened to me at least twice before, though I mostly just pray for having epic, awesome dreams that affirm my faith in the spirit world. Actually, my second or third "real" AP experience (back in late April) occurred after I said a prayer to one of my deities that I would enter the spirit world in my dream. That night I was suffering fairly intensely from my fear of damnation, and I wanted to experience an OOBE to get even one step closer to realizing that the spirit world is not as I fear, and so sure enough I experienced just that.

That amazing, healing love you felt...I want to someday experience that in a dream. And I know, if I persist with my AP/OOBE practices, I probably will someday. And I know your cat is in a better place now. Maybe you'll even see her in future dreams and AP sessions, the same way I tend to have recurring dreams about my beloved dad, who passed away in early 2009, but in the dreams he is alive and well.

I'm sorry to hear about your cat. For those of us who cherish all life, this can be as difficult as losing a loved person.

What about the dream made you think the teacher was Jesus? Was it when he held you and you felt the love?

Thank you for your kind words, everyone.

its all bad--Yes, it was when i felt the love that I knew it was him.  Although as soon as he entered the room and began to teach I became aware that I was in the presence of a most special and beautiful spirit.  Because the dream wasn't lucid, I actually had no memory of praying to meet with Jesus at all.

DASH-- I'm glad you mentioned that because I actually did see my cat "The Mewer" in two APs.  In the first, before bed I phased directly to seeing her in the room.  I was overjoyed to see her and began petting her and checking her body to make sure there was no more injury.  She was in perfect shape, just like her old self.  After we visited a while she disappeared into thin air.  I then heard happy sounds coming from my daughter's room.  I could hear my daughter talking to The Mewer and visiting with her.  I was happy that she had gone to visit my daughter too. The next morning I asked my daughter if she had dreamed about the Mewer that night but unfortunately she said that she couldn't remember any of her dreams.  I noted, though, that after that night her spirits lifted and she stopped her daily bouts of crying over the loss. Maybe she did dream about her?? It made me wonder about how dreams affect us even if we don't remember them.

In the second AP, I was walking in a very pretty wooded area when I saw the Mewer walking toward me.  She was very happy to see me and purred and rubbed against my legs.  The visit was really a beautiful one in which our spirits really bonded.  I was also glad to see her in such a beautiful place.  It struck me later that this was the only AP I've ever had where I actually walked somewhere.  Flying (soarin') has always been my only mode of transportation.  I guess I needed to walk because cats aren't really into flying lol!

That's wonderful that you managed to see her in your APs...I have had only two or three fully-successful or memorable OOBEs to this day, so I have not encountered any deceased loved ones or pets just yet, unlike my normal dreams where my dad and sometimes my stepmom frequently appear. I guess the fact that you've seen The Mewer twice in your OOBEs is proof that she is in a better place.

With regards to your Jesus dream, I'm glad I am not the only one who has a dream about a person or a place or a thing, where even though the dream doesn't explicitly introduce them to you and they are never referred to in name, you just know who or what they are. I find that in the world of dreams and OOBEs, you do not need to be "introduced" to a person or concept, you just know deeply in yourself who they are.
