Did It Happen In A Dream?

Have you had dreams that seem very real and wake to realize you were dreaming?

One such dream had entered my mind as I entered deep sleep. The thought was that we could actually see events before they had occurred or stop them beforehand. The dream that pushed me to this thought woke me from very deep sleep, I was sobbing in real life.

A man living next door to a two story house with an extravagant front entrance, garden and coy fish pond was about to be broken into and the family murdered. The man who resided next door had dreamt of this event. As he awoke throughout the night in terror, he shrugged it off. When awaken by sirens the next morning, he became ill. Was this the dream he had abruptly awaken from throughout the night?

The man stands in his robe as he had obviously rushed out of his home. The police created a barrier and told him it has become a crime scene. This man, collapsed to his knees and sobbed. Hours later, he seemingly recovered blaming the events on coincidence.

Fast forward to the night after the murder. The man dreamt again. This time intervening, preventing the murder. Astonishingly he awakens the next morning, rushes down the stairs and… The neighbors who were murdered the night before were watering their flowers. The man sits on the steps of the entrance of his home and looks puzzled. Peering over to his neighbors and closing his eyes. “This is not real”, he says to himself. “How could they be alive? Am I still dreaming?” The man lived out his days in that home next to the same neighbors. They never died. Instead, he had died only remembering the dream that changed his neighbors fate.

Back to business: This is one dream that had occurred to me in late 2018. I tried to revive my parents and subsequently failed, insinuating that they were meant to die.

My Testimony:

About ten years old, after my father had gotten out of lockup I had dreamt that our house had gotten broken into and our guns and other household items had been stolen, I told him the location of the guns. The dream occurred only five miles from the house and I had woken up just as we pulled onto the gravel road. After waking, I explained to my father what I had dreamt and he shrugged it off as if I was making it up. Upon arriving at our home, the front door was open and two windows broken. The safe had been broken into and all of the guns were gone. He turned to me and said “ where did you say they were?”

We found the guns and all that had been stolen. Shortly after, the merchandise had been seized by the authorities.

If we see the pattern for what it is, I am sure we would be more understanding the situation.

Why would I know this? Why did I know this?

The gift is handed to but only a few, realize who you are. Connect the dots. You are not alone.

Be Safe, Be Kind. We Are Just HUMANS.
