Actually, I normally have night terrors or nightmares. Rarely do I ever get to experience a nice dream. I don’t know what to call the dream I awoke with this morning. What’s more interesting though is the first verse I read in my bible study for today.
My dreams are always vivid and even include my other senses. In them, I can smell scents, taste things, feel temperature changes, hear sounds (like my heart beating or the wind blowing), and see colors in detail. Even more powerful than those common senses, I pick up on another sense. There is no way to prove what that is, but my guess is it’s spiritual.
In this morning’s episode (which was surprisingly ‘mild’), there was a malicious man determined to do what he could to ruin my life. He tried to intimidate me and upset me by the way he spoke. I could feel murder was in his heart. It was odd that I didn’t run from him. Before I walked away, I calmly told him, “You’re no match for God.” (I wasn’t implying I’m God; I said that because I knew God was protecting me.)
I have had dreams before which contained Christian faith, but usually they were when I was listening to the bible while asleep with headphones on. It’s been a long while since I’ve done that though. Besides that change, my insomnia¹ is slowly fading away!
Anyhow, the interesting coincidence this morning was when I opened up my bible shortly after awakening and read Psalm 140:1-3,
Deliver me, O LORD, from the evil man: preserve me from the violent man;
Which imagine mischiefs in their heart; continually are they gathered together for war.
They have sharpened their tongues like a serpent; adders’ poison is under their lips.
Verse 12,
I know that the LORD will maintain the cause of the afflicted, and the right of the poor.
must have already been established in my heart (by the grace of God) to cause a new and improved dream compared to what I’m used to having. Who knows?… maybe there’s hope for me to finally have restful sleep. I can dream, can’t I?
¹That has now lasted approximately ¼th of a century.
