Okay, I think it's time for me to share this dream I had 14 years ago, I have shared it with a couple folks here in a message.
But first a little background
Back in 1991 my husband and I had purchased some land, which in and of itself had the hand of God all over it, but I will forgo that part to shorten things. I was an interior designer and he an engineer, so we came up with our own plans to build our house ourselves. We had taken our second child to the hospital for minor surgery and as I waited with her to go in to the operating room I was working on the floor plans to our new home. As I was doing so I had what I believe was a vision, on sort of a flat screen TV (though they didn't exist yet) In this vision I saw our completed home, with it's red wood stove and people sleeping in sleeping bags on the living room floor, the time of year was fall and the trees outside were much more mature than they were at that time. I had the distinct impression that our home would be used as some kind of place of refuge during a time of crisis in the future. That was the end. It unnerved me at the time, and back then I wasn't even that close to the Lord, and nothing like that had ever happened to me before, so I brushed it off as an over active imagination and really didn't think about it for a long time after.
Then in 2001 I was infected with human parvo b19 virus also known as fifths disease. Like chicken pox, when a child gets it it is pretty benign, but as an adult it can cause an immune response, which is what happened to me, I was knocked down by it for years but have since recovered, others aren't so lucky. Anyway not long after I got sick I began having dreams that would then actually come true. Usually concerning people I knew dying or becoming ill including both my parents and people I went to church with. I also started having waking premonitions, usually not about anything big, just little things, like knowing someone would call, or seeing animals in nature, or my vacuum clonking out, nothing significant really. One time I was sitting in church and had a picture flash in front of me of the stained glass window next to me breaking and I kid you not, 3 seconds later it cracked!! Presumably from the strong winds, nothing hit it though. This really freaked me out, I even asked my doctor about it and he thought perhaps the virus had activated some latent part of my brain.
The last dream I had, was in 2006 it was a prophetic one and I haven't had any since.
From here I will defer to an excerpt from an email I sent to a friend in 2016 rather than re-write everything down I will just copy the email
The date I sent it to my friend was 12/12/2016, I removed names but the email is verbatim,
I have been wanting to tell you what I believe the Lord has been laying on my heart, so here goes. I know that many years ago I shared with you that vision I had about a coming economic downturn. That vision I had when XXXXX was just 18 months old (1991) while I was waiting with her to go into minor surgery at Children’s hospital and working on the floor plans to our current home. It was like a vivid daydream of a video or something like a power-point presentation on a big flat screen TV, I still remember it so well. Seeing people sleeping around the wood stove in sleeping bags, seeing fall leaves falling from the trees. Mind you the house wasn’t even built yet, and the trees in my vision were much more mature than they were at that time. That vision left me with the distinct feeling that our home would be a place for refuge for others in a coming time of crisis. Then many years later when I was having those dreams that would actually come true, which still kind of freaks me out to think about, I had that dream (2006) where I was standing in an alley of a large city, the streets were completely empty, trash/papers blowing about in the wind. A tall man in a light tan suit, I think it was pin stripped, and wearing a fedora was standing on the street corner reading a paper. I walked up behind him and read over his shoulder the headline: 11-08 in large bold half page print on the page, in the dream I had the distinct feeling that an economic crisis was connected to that date somehow. I know when I had that dream I told you (and others) about it. I had such a feeling of urgency, which I think God put there to cause me to study prophecy, which I pursued in earnest afterward. Thousands of hours of study followed and I finally finished revising that study last year. Every year since 2006 I have waited for November 8th to roll around wondering what if anything would come of it. I was beginning to think that maybe it was nothing but an overactive, ice cream induced dream of my imagination. But this year it’s like it all came into focus, when I realized that election day fell on that day. It was like a light bulb went off in my head, I had always thought that some singular catastrophic event would happen on that day, that would lead to an economic crash. I had never thought that it might represent a starting point to events. Of course I never put all my eggs in that kind of basket, because I do not trust myself, knowing that I might be reading way too much into all of it.
So I shared my thoughts in an email with a lady I met on an online prophecy site, we keep in touch and pray for each other. And she wrote me back telling me that another friend of hers who is in finance, had just got off the phone with her telling her that she felt strongly that the election was tied to an economic crash, coming soon to our country. She shared some inside financial stuff that I don’t quite understand about why she sees really hard times coming. Okay so I thought, well Lord, could this be confirmation? I still had my doubts. Then two days later I received in my inbox an update from another site I sometimes visit. This man shared a vision he had that also showed him that the election of Donald Trump would lead to an economic crash in this country. Now this guy is not necessarily someone I would look to for stuff like that, and I rarely even go to his site or read the updates I get in my inbox. But for some reason I opened it that day. So I asked myself again, okay is this confirmation from the Lord? Now if that wasn’t enough, shortly after that, maybe the following week, I had lunch with XXXXX at her home. We met to talk about a community prayer breakfast in April that I am going to be involved in, playing the part of the woman at the well and singing a song. Pat wanted to give me more information about what is involved. As we were talking she suddenly changed gears, saying that she wanted to share something with me, that the Lord had burdened her with, she said she was a bit reluctant to bring it up but felt strongly that she needed to do so. She said to me that she felt that the election of Donald Trump was going to lead to the fulfillment of my initial vision (which I had shared with her many years ago). I never told her of the subsequent dream, so I proceeded to tell her of it and she was stunned. You can imagine what was going on in my head, I was equally stunned.
So at this point I ask myself, okay how much more confirmation do I need? I still question and doubt myself, not knowing if I am to trust in dreams and visions, even if they are my own. But XXX I have to say that everything I am reading in my research of the economy says that a crash is going to come, the only question in the minds of the experts is when. I am thinking it may come within the next year or two. Perhaps I am wrong, and I am still asking the Lord to show me if I am. However if it does, money will only get us so far and for only a short time. What will matter is what you already have, assets like food, shelter, things you can barter with and above all faith and trust in God to provide. For those of us who believe, it will not be a time to panic, but to be a reservoir of hope for those who will lose hope in the chaos that will ensue. This is why I feel so strongly that we must engage in the spiritual battle that is and will be raging full tilt all around us. I have always thought that the next big economic crash would lead to the fulfillment of end times prophecy. If I am right, I am not sure that I am, but if so, then the forces of darkness will be working overtime knowing that very soon they will be unleashed in a way they have never been allowed to up until that point. I hope I am wrong, I hope that Donald Trump will lead our country to a good place, a place that may lead to national repentance and prosperity. But I am not so sure and he is not president yet either, things can happen that might prevent him from assuming office. I had reservations about voting for him, but I went ahead and did so based on his promises and the people who he might place in important governmental positions, and mostly as a vote against Hillary Clinton who is so obviously the greater evil. Only God knows for sure what is to come, I do not know if my vision and dream mean anything at all, though I have always felt in my spirit that they do, but what they might mean may be different than what I think. Perhaps they were only meant to propel me to study God’s word, which lead to a spiritual revival in my life that I will never for one minute regret.
So there it is, I am not sure myself what to make of it all, or what you might make of it. I would be curious as to your thoughts, if you think I am out in left field, please tell me. I am always doubting myself and looking to God to direct my path. I mean in reality there isn’t much I can do anyway, even if it is all true. I can prepare some, by stocking up on things, but ultimately if it does happen it will be an issue of faith. God’s people will be tested and the question for myself is-will I pass the test? I initially told XXXX about my dream and vision, long ago, but his reaction was that I was a bit off my rocker and he never really supported my study of prophecy. So I have not mentioned any of this to him since, only things I have read that point to where the economy is headed. So It is not like I can work out any kind of strategy with him ahead of time. I just have to trust that when and if it should come that God will have worked through him to prepare us in the way that He wants us to be prepared in order to be a help to others. In other words it all comes down to trusting in God and having faith that stands firm against whatever comes. So I take one day at a time, I would not advocate heading for the hills or any kind of out of the ordinary crazy stuff, just have open eyes and ears, and prepare in whatever way God leads you to if in fact He does. I continue to live life as usual, but always in the back of my mind is the “what if?” It kind of forces me to think about what is really relevant, and about what really matters. Honestly I think that is the way the Lord wants us to live, with His return in mind, asking ourselves “what if” He came today? Would He say “well done good and faithful servant?” Am I ready? Are you ready? Is there something that God is calling you or I to do that we have put off? What exactly should we be doing for Him? That is what is on my mind these days.

I think the city in my dream was NYC, and now I see that the governor may lock it down like San Francisco, I wasn't sure if the dream was to be taken literally or allegorically or even seriously at all, but to think that the streets of NY could be totally deserted is like completely crazy for me, because that was what it looked like in my dream.
Does it mean that prophetic fulfillment will come, I honestly don't know for certain, but I am sure watching.
Make of it what you will
