| Are our dreams of any religious significance? Of what significance
is the interpretation of dreams?
Peace,

753.2 | Hi | DPDMAI::HUDDLESTON | If it is to be, it's up to me | Thu Nov 18 1993 21:45 | 12 |
| What kind of discussion would you like to get into about dreams. I had
a "experience" the other day that has made me happy to have had, but
very sad at the same time. It was a dream, but it wasn't. My
mother-in-law called it a "out of body experience". I know it wasn't
just a dream, it was different and totally out of the blue. Ever had
one of these that makes you want to go to heaven right now. Leave the
unhappiness of ______ behind?
Oh well. Have a good day everyone.

| .2 Donna,
First of all, welcome! From what you've said, your experience
sounds a bit like what I would call a "glimpse." Could you share
a little more about it? What did you see? And what meaning did it
have for you?
Peace,
Richard

| I was suddenly in a room. There were other people there too, just
standing around. Suddenly someone comes into the room that I know....
Thats all I want to share about it. But its made me sad and happy at
the same time. What meaning did it have for me? Thats private and
has me feeling a bit crazy at the moment.

| .4 I won't push it. As it often is with dreams, it sounds perhaps
like your subconscious is trying to work through something. At the
same time, there may be an element of revelation to it.
Shalom,
Richard

753.6 | Hi again Richard! | DPDMAI::HUDDLESTON | If it is to be, it's up to me | Fri Nov 19 1993 19:51 | 6 |
| Well, getting back to dreams. Do you place any value on dream
interpretation? I think those books are bogus. Just seems like
someone's opinion to me. And on the religious topic, how would a
person know if it was " a message from God" like you read in the bible?

| .6 Well, I don't think all the books are bogus. Some definitely are.
I think most dreams are the product of the subconscious mind, which
never sleeps, processing the dreamer's life experiences. Most of my
own dreams are so insignificant to me, I don't remember them.
I think it is possible for dreams to give the dreamer insights, if
the dreamer understands the meaning behind the symbols -- which, I know,
is not as simple as it sounds.
How to tell a prophetic dream from others? Not an easy thing to do, I
imagine. One's playful imagination can create an impression on the
senses indistinguishable from the Divine to the dreamer.
I'm no expert and I would welcome the insights of others in this area.
Peace,
Richard
