Dreams

Perhaps I had done a little too much heavy reading but I have always been a heavy reader and have read heavy every night since before that dream months ago and haven't had another powerful dream since.  Any thoughts about that dream or any thought on how to get a good nights sleep (lol) is greatly appreciated.

I am a heavy reader, as well, sawdy--maybe another commonality with déjà vu?  Books are better than candy to me, and my husband and I often read to one another while one or the other of us is working on a project around the house.

My thought about your dream is that the Lord may be encouraging you with an assurance that those you love will be provided for even in frightening times.  I'm certainly no dream interpreter in any way, shape, or form, so that's just my speculation. 

I had a dream this week that I've been debating whether to post, but it keeps coming to mind, so I'd like to see what you think.  Have I just been so wrapped up in thoughts of eclipses and earthquakes that this is what came of it?  I don't know what to think.

In the dream, I was on the grounds of a lighthouse. It seemed the lighthouse was inside my city, as it feels like I recognize the location being downtown--but my city is not on the coast. For some reason the lighthouse was right in the middle of downtown, yet it didn't seem strange for it to be there at all in the dream.

There were many people on the grounds with me, some shopping, some sight-seeing, some getting a bite to eat--just normal downtown activity. But as I looked out the lighthouse's ground-level window, I saw what looked like a lovely tidepool such as would be on the coast. There was lovely sand beneath clear, shallow water, which seemed to stretch quite a little ways. While I watched it, I saw a straight line begin to form in the sand starting at the end closest to the lighthouse and moving outward away from the lighthouse. My gut feeling after the dream is that the line was moving west to east, but I do not know for sure, as I didn't contemplate the direction during the dream.  It just seems from my recognition of what the downtown area looks like that it might have been heading east. 

Anyway, as the line formed, the sand began to be swallowed up by it, as if the sand was sinking into a crack.  I thought that was odd, though I wasn't at first frightened by it.  I pointed it out to some people that were nearby, and they looked at it curiously until I asked, "Do you think we had an earthquake?" 

We'd felt nothing--no ground tremors at all.  But when I asked that, it set in motion a flurry of activity.  There seemed to be a panic as people began to consider there might be a tsunami.  I heard one woman calling for those of us in the ground-level to grab everything we could and head to the top of the lighthouse.  She was concerned that we might be up there awhile and need some food and things.  People around me were carrying up boxes and bags of food, clothing, personal belongings.  I remember there was a large box of batteries or flashlights or something that I was trying to carry up the spiraling stairs, but had to put it down on a side platform when others were in the way of going any further with it. 

And then I saw cats--lots and lots of cats on the ground level.  I wanted to rescue them so badly, and others were trying to grab them to bring them up into the top of the lighthouse.  I saw my cat, Lily, and ran back down to get her.  Then I started to run back up the stairway with her in my arms.  Again I looked out a window, and this time I saw the ocean and a lovely beach.  The ocean waters were moving quickly backwards, leaving bare sand.  I shouted to the others that the tsunami was coming and it was going to be very big.  We were afraid it would be strong enough to break out the windows and flood the lighthouse, and so we had to go up as high as we could climb.  

There was a man in shock at the window beside me, looking out at what was happening.  I tried to get him to come with me, but he was so immobile with fear, he could barely speak.  I heard him say in hoarse voice, "We don't have time."  I grabbed his arm and tried to force him to move and come with me.  I told him, "Yes, we do have time, but you have to come now!"  Thankfully, he did so, and though he was moving slowly upward, still in shock, we did manage to get to the top--with Lily too--where the others were gathered for safety.

Wow. Just wow.

Did you get a feeling from God that this was specifically prophetic, or do you think it was a normal dream composed of all the things you've been thinking about running around in your head?

I know it can be hard to tell sometimes, but do you have a sense?

Honestly, I'm not sure and it's scaring me a little wondering, but there was a very strange thing that happened afterwards.  The dream occurred on 20 July 2017 in the daytime while I was taking a nap before my husband got home.  Unfortunately, I didn't follow my own advice about recording the time of the dream, as I got busy when he arrived.  However, the same day, sometime afterwards, I saw your post in the "Healthcare" thread where you mentioned the Virtue Solution website.  I was looking through the website, and I saw its page on creating a "micro-hub lighthouse," and my brain just about exploded.  It's certainly sticking with me as a dream I'm constantly thinking about.
