Tell me what you think

[Preppermomma64]

Last night I had a very clear dream. So clear I can tell you the color of people's clothes, describe their faces, and even how many if I had counted. Tell me what you think about this dream. My 3 kids and I were in a tent in the woods. I saw 2 men running into the woods. By the morning after we packed everything up and started off in a direction, there was a group of people running towards us. Our Sheppard came back wagging his tail so my son said they must be friendly. We changed directions and ran into another panic-stricken group of people even bigger running in the same direction. None of them had any gear just the clothes they were wearing stampeding like a herd. I was in the wild not knowing where to take my kids. Long story short I decided we needed to not go in the direction they were running from and to get away from the group since we were the only people with food. The funny thing is in the dream my hair was long and I just cut it short. Hmm, might be a timing clue. I'm interested in thoughts on this...

I have had dreams/nightmares of the future since childhood (dreams that came true) and they always feel different than a regular dream. I am guessing from the vividness of it and your ability to recall, this one felt different to you as well.

My NA father's side called it dream walking (which in their belief system included being able to walk into alternative realities). The Christian side sometimes called those things prophetic; coming as a warning from God. Some people claim neither exists except as a figment of your overactive imagination or paranoia and some claim it is only the expression of the subconscious, putting together clues that your conscious mind missed.

My take is heed it as a caution. Think it through to the end as to what you might do if it came to pass...if it never does, then at least you have had an exercise of mental preparedness. If it does...well then you have a logically formed, best judgement plan to go with.

It probably means your instincts are good. Don't be a sheep.

My grandfather was full Cherokee Indian and I guess I got some sort of gift from him as I have had others like this that have come to pass. I guess what really disturbed me is the feeling I had of being out in the middle of nowhere not know where to take my kids to survive.

Perhaps you were in a place you are normally not in.
Camping out is different from your home.
You were not in a camp ground but in isolation, alone.

First you saw two men.
Perhaps two systems or
the way it was and the way that may be coming (whatever that is).

Your dog sensed no danger or threat from the equipped group.
You sensed danger from the unequipped group.

You have been a dreamer and sensitive to the dreams important to you; you know the difference.
You recognize this as a message to you.

You are new to this Prepper site.
You already know what the dream means. Resolve your problem and get some sleep.

I don't feel the hair is a signal but rather a tag for you to remember the dream upon awakening.
It jolted your memory to remember it.


Best of luck to you and your family.

P.S. Before you sleep again ask for verification of your translation of the dream.
You will get it.

I rarely recall dreams but in the last 2 months I've dreamed a cple times that I do recall the dreams after waking up. I'm in situations involving being trapped and surrounded by snakes and alligators! Lol! Next thing, I'm safe n sound and no idea what happened in between to get me safe. What the heck does that mean???
Who knows??? As rare as it is for me to recall dreaming at all, I recognize them as dreams and don't read anything into them other than possibly symbols of stress, worry, or whatever has been on forefront of my mind lately, and subconsciously, I'm trying to deal with it...or my mind is helping me work it out. That is why I think I recalled this dream and have had it twice and recalled it each time after awakening.

I personally don't believe in foreseeing future, etc... I do believe one can interpret and make a dream situation "fit" into whatever comes about, sometimes very convincingly. As for my recent dreams: I was up to my arse in alligators at work, seemingly surrounded by evil opposition but I will overcome (and I have in reality). It's my mind and (subconscious) "working things out"...I haven't thought another thing about it after the next day after from simply recalling it, til this post.

Our minds are great things of beauty. Predicting the future? I'm not yet convinced...I feel the same about gut feelings...Go with it..."its your experience talking to ya!"
I'm going with PP on this one, ....it's likely "your instincts are good".
Adding in: Based on whatever it is you are wrestling with in your mind/life right now.

Note: I fully respect others right to disagree, as I am aware there are plenty who believe strongly in having ability/gift to prophetize via dreams.

My question would be to others..why would someone ONLY recall dreams very rarely (I.e. Me)? Does that mean it means something when I do remember? So far, I really don't think so.

Goodnight all

My entire family has always been connected to each other, calling at the right time to ask what is wrong and such. I dreamed my brother and I were talking and he was leaning on his car. (me in Germany and him in the US). I saw a large cut up his left arm from wrist to elbow and maggots were literally DRIPPING out of his arm onto the ground.
I immediately got up and called my mother in Houston, asking what is wrong with him. She said it was not him but my littlest cousin. She said she was going to call me in the morning "her time" and inform me, but since I had already felt the bad news she would tell me. (it was 3am my time).
Since I was closer to my brother than my cousin, my dream was super-imposed on him to impact me more. It turns out that my cousin had taken the "golden shot" with a mixture of cocaine and heroin ----in her left arm....and died within minutes of 2am my time...
My MIL had dreams of a black horse drawn carriage and immediately would call back to Serbia to ask who was sick or dying...every time!!!! she called and asked, one of her brothers died within the next three days, giving her enough time to get a bus and get down there to be there to say goodbye and go to the funeral. ALL FIVE BROTHERS!!!
You must just want to get into contact with the so-called "universal knowledge" that is out there and be on the right frequency to receive the info and be quiet enough to hear the voices who love you and want to warn you. Do not be afraid of what you may hear, just be thankful for the help. It is there.

Last night I had a very clear dream.

Listen to your dream, especially if it does not go against anything that you believe in or wish for. Your mind is an open computer, faster than you believe. Some say, the universe is open and the past and the future are all here at the "present time" ALL AT THE SAME TIME! Our mind is so complex and perfectly built that it slows down the information down to a tempo or speed which we can comprehend the past and the future at the same time without going crazy. You can feel or see what is happening in the "deep sleep" mode better than when you are being kept "confused" by the daily stress and the work needing your attention. This is also why we are told by Christ to go into our "quiet chamber" to pray and be quiet while speaking to God "one-on-one" so as to be able to hear the answers we look for. If you are looking for answers, ask just before going to bed as to what is interesting you or bothering you at the moment and keep these thoughts till you finally get to sleep.
Believe!! Only your faith can get your answers.
God bless, Gary

@Cindy

My question would be to others..why would someone ONLY recall dreams very rarely (I.e. Me)? Does that mean it means something when I do remember? So far, I really don't think so.

We all have psychic abilities including the ability to receive premonitions, usually from dreams.

We are all walking around with information coming at us but most of us have tuned it out as just noise.
It's as if we all have radios but most are not tuned in properly and thus it just sounds like noise.
To tune in, first you need to decide that it is more than noise if you listen closely. Then you can easily train yourself to listen and focus.

Once you are tuned in does that make you special? Of course not. You are just a normal person that pays attention.

The past year Chris Rock got rocked by Will Smith at the Academy Awards ceremony.
Two months ago Dr. Phil was discussing body language and used that slap-down as an example.

He pointed out when Smith approached Rock, his arms were stretched out from his waist to appear big.
His shoulders were raised to appear taller. He made long steps to appear faster.

After the slap, he turned and retreated (defensive).
He then quickly looked back to see if he was being attacked.

Dr. Phil pointed out that these were biological responses and could not be faked by an actor, thus the attack was real and not faked.

Now I ask you, is Dr. Phil magical, mystical or special to god because he saw what everyone else saw, but he got the message?
No. He just trained himself to slow down and observe what others do not observe. It's as simple as that.

So in answer to your question, slow down and begin paying attention to your dreams. It is easy to learn and can be a powerful tool.

 

[Cindyd]

Yeah, I agree that makes sense..
(Even though I never liked Dr. Phil).. I understand what you're saying

I also have no problem with people who disagree...Both of my parents were scientists...I cut my teeth on the scientific method. Which is why I thought I was going crazy when I was very young.

When I was 17 I had a nightmare of my father's death. Another one of those "impossible" dreams. So, as usual, I said nothing. (that is another story as to why).

Four days later he was dead, decapitated because he ran a stop sign on a very foggy morning ran his station wagon under a tractor trailer.

It happened exactly as I dreamed, at the exact intersection. That was the last time I said nothing when I had one of "those" dreams.

Over the years it has happened many times to "save" the people I love or sometimes just to help them through a difficult time. Not every time, just sometimes. I did not dream of my mother's death...I wasn't supposed to know I guess.

Those dreams you have to "fit" nothing. They happen exactly, right down to the last detail, like what someone says...does, the expressions on their face...

I have no control over what information comes and what does not. What I am supposed to know, is revealed. What is not, isn't.

This is not something I ever sought out or asked for, it just is the way I was born to be.

IT is part of the reason I have absolutely no doubt that there is a God.

IT is also part of why I have always been a survivalist.

 

[Mountain trapper]

I seldom ever dream. Don't know why. I never get more than an hour sleep at a stretch either.

 

[DrHenley]

I seldom ever dream. Don't know why. I never get more than an hour sleep at a stretch either.

Nightmares and vividly remembered dreams occur mostly during phase 4 REM sleep which occurs at least an hour and a half after you fall asleep. You have dreams earlier but they are mostly forgotten.

RCandD....I am sorry to hear of your dad....I do believe what you say to be true..it is amazing to me! I do believe in God...I don't have answers for any of this sort of thing. I will say, I do recall having a dream before my POS dad died that was "weird"...I did see him dead...and I don't recall now the details of my dream...but a couple weeks afterward, my mother came home from work and found him lying on floor....dead of heart attack...age 52. Was best thing that ever happened to our family...terrible to say, but true. I never thought much about associating the dream with the event..but I do recall I dreamt him dying. Always brushed it off as wishful thinking and tried not to dwell on the dream due to it brought on guilt feelings for wishing him dead...so I consciously chose to avoid thinking about it. He was physically, and mentally abusive, especially to my mother...I was adult, married and just had my second child...I couldnt be there to protect my mom...so, I felt guilty for leaving her and always wished him dead as it was only safety I could imagine that would free her from his wrath...I never saw it as a gift or premonition, but felt both guilt and thankfulness my fears were over and mother was finally safe. I have had no other incidents of such dreams I could remotely associate with any other type events...good or bad. I would not judge anyone else for making associations of events that come to pass pursuant to dreams one has had but I do think my situation was likely coincidence because I consciously wished him dead for a long time (while awake), so it would make sense to me such thoughts would invade my sleep. At same time, maybe God was blessing us and my mother mostly, by removing evil from our lives, primarily hers..for whatever reason. This is likely too much info..sorry! I guess we can try and justify anything.

Mother remarried at age 58 to a man who she went to high school with and reunited, and he was good to her but became severely physically ill and blew his brains out while I was on phone with her 2 yrs. Ago. (He was Viet Nam army vet). She worked til she was 80 and turned 83 this Sept. 24th. And is doing just fine...I moved her down to Fl. With me this year. I walked with her this evening 15 laps around her circled driveway. She went in to cook some dinner and my sorry arse is whooped! Thank you Lord! Keep dreaming all of you! As for me, I prefer to sleep in oblivion (peaceful slumber)

 

[Survivor_316]

RC&D, I'm so sorry that happened to you. That's awful.

 

[rainingcatzanddogs]

RC&D, I'm so sorry that happened to you. That's awful.

It's okay. Thank-you but, these things happen. Life does not come without pain and heartache. You have two choices. Get busy livin' or get busy dyin'. Too many people would rather dwell and wallow in the pain than find a way to get past it and enjoy every moment they have been given.

I'm sorry your sperm donor was such a bad man and glad you and your mother get to spend some good time together! She sounds like a strong woman, and it seems, you take after her.

You just keep doing for your special momma, Girl. This is a very special time you have with her. I totally enjoyed the time we had with my MIL, aka Granny.

 

[GaRp58]

I am a bit jealous of you all being to talk about your family and what happened. I left home at 17, landed in Germany at 19 and never had a family after that. Phone calls and letters with my mom was all, stationed back for a short while but only saw my grandmother and the rest were just busy with their own lives. Never attended single funeral except for grandmother. Only celebrated a single Christmas and one birthday in over 45 years with family...being abroad has its advantages since you learn to understand the "rest" of the world, but you lose contact with all your childhood friends and family. I am the only world wanderer in the family.

Gary, something tells me you find "family" everywhere you go!

Gary, something tells me you find "family" everywhere you go!

There is absolutely no doubt about that Cindy!!! The man has a heart of gold and able to do about anything he wants to!!

 

[Mountain Dragon]

For me there are two kinds of family: The one with same blood and the family with persons choosen by yourself.

 

[GaRp58]

Gary, something tells me you find "family" everywhere you go!

There is absolutely no doubt about that Cindy!!!

Thank you both. My wife and I said we wanted 12 children and ended up having 2 and adopting 17 other persons eventually and letting them live with us for as little as a few months to over 3 years till they got back on their feet. My orphaned gypsy neighbor says good nite DADDY now and his orphaned wife says MOM to Helena also and the son calls us G-mom and G-dad. We do have a knack for finding family if you look at it that way I guess.
Love back to you both, Gary
