I had a very troubling dream.
I've never really felt anything like it. I mean it was a normal dream I guess except the emotions I felt were so real. I would even say more than real.... it was deeper Spiritual emotion if thats possible.
Anyways I woke up and was VERY VERY disturbed. Not one of those wake up from a nightmare and then you tell yourself it was nightmare and go back to sleep no problem. More like I woke up and knew that it was more that just a dream. I felt the Spirit trying to tell me something, not in the quiet still way but in the desperate sorrowful DO SOMETHING NOW way.
In my dream....well I don't remember much of it but there were some parts that I remember very strongly... it was so real. As I'm starting to write things are coming into my head about the setting of the world that I dreamed about.
I was in a world where there was an enormous line. Everyone would follow whoever was in front of them in this line. The line would pass by various attractions and places of entertainment. Everyone in the line would be brought to the same places of attraction and forced to stay there...except they didn't know they were being forced. The shows never changed at these various places but those running it would put on the same show again and again continuously on loop. The people in the line didn't look to see what was ahead of them but only kept waiting to get to the next show. It was what they lived for. The snaked throughout the whole world but the part of the line I was in went through a giant concert hall like the skydome. It was underground. Throughout the dream there was a deep sense of URGENCY. So strong that when I think about it now it makes me want to barf.
I don't remember dreaming about this but I think in my head I got bored of waiting in line and went to wander off on my own. I met two friends Michelle and Arnold. I was very excited to see them cuz they were like me and I remember hugging Michelle and Arnold and somehow there was this deep spiritual connection between us. We found a sewer/tunnel that connects the building we were in to the outside world.
OK this is the part I actually remember dreaming about.
I was an outsider, an intruder in the world. My appearance in the world was against it. Suddenly I was forced to play a cruel game where the world was the playing ground. The point of the game was to run like hell away from it. We started to play this game that people heard about but never took interest in participating in.
The rules were simple: If the darkness overtook me I lost, but if I was able to run away and stay away from it for a certain amount of time and bring this object to some location SOMEWHERE then I won and lived. I had taken almost stolen something very precious and the darkness wanted to get it back. I think the thing I stole was myself. It owned me and wanted me back. Throughout the dream I didn't know where exactly I was supposed to go but I sorta knew where I had to go next in order to get there.
We got out of the of tunnel into the outside world. Everything around me was a tinge of grey....there wasn't much colour or life. There was a sense of joy and intimacy like we had just gotten out of something very dark together. We talked and joked for a bit. I suggested that we go somewhere to hangout, to be together. I don't remember where. Michelle started to act differently. She said she would go with us but I knew she didn't really want to. She just sorta wanted to stay behind where she was. The bus came. Arnold and I got on but she didn't. As the bus left. I felt worse than sad like I had lost a part of myself. I knew I was never going to see her again. However, the URGENCY pushed me to keep moving because the darkness was coming to swallow up where I was if I didn't keep running away. It was relentless, always right behind me ready to take me if I fell for even a second. Arnold told me "I'll get with you a little bit of the way and see how it goes"
The odds were against me it VERY FEW people had ever escaped this darkness before. In the world that I was in no one had EVER fought against this darkness and won, but somehow I was on my way to defeating it. It felt good.
Next scene: I am at a subway station the train is about to leave. I get in just as the doors close. Arnold was right behind me but doesn't make it in. I yell at him "Get on the next train as soon as possible I'll meet up with you later on." He tells me "Its ok I don't want to go its too hard I'm going to go back home." Another deep sense of loss. The scene fades into blackness.
Final scene: People were cheering me on, encouraging me. They were excited at what I was about to do because no one had ever done it. I was told to GO to some place to reach my destination. In front of me was a huge escalator. I decided that I was going to run up it and get to the end ASAP. As a got ready to run, for some reason I couldn't move anymore. I was paralyzed. My friend Justin appeared. He said to me "Do you have faith?, take hold of me." I took hold of his arm and he ran like superman and brought me to a street close to the place where I was supposed to be. He said in a very excited voice "Do you get what you have? If we do this, we get the Spirit prize." I didn't know what it was but by the way he talked about it, it sounded pretty awesome to me. It was something that everyone wanted but didn't have the courage to take for themselves. The darkness was coming I had to face it this time and trust that something was going to happen.
I woke up. Very disturbed. I knew God was trying to tell me something throughout the dream. I sat there praying asking God to tell me ....and then I understood.
People are dying
There isn't much time left
Keep moving or you'll get owned by Satan
Make sure you support your fellow believers so they don't fall
The prize at the end is beyond anything you can imagine.
