The night before Easter I had a really crazy dream. I really feel it was telling me something (because I remember it in detail), but I'm not quite sure what.<p>It was about my husband and me and a group of other people (who in the dream we knew but I can't recall any faces or names). We were following clues to something. When we got to a certain point my husband had to go to work, but it wasn't his job he really has. He was doing woodworking. He was in the process of making a very detailed elaborate wooden table. There were also some people after us trying to hurt or kill us. These people were moving in so me and the others ran off to get my husband, warn him and get him to move on with us in this clue gathering. After we got to my husband the group started ahead of us. My husband and I were ready to leave when we heard the men who were after us. We hid and jumped them enabling them long enough for us to take off. Our last stop was a church. Beautiful brick church with high towers. We went inside and knew somehow that we were supposed to light a candle. Not just any candle though, we had to light just the right candle to make it to the last part of our adventure. So as we were all discussing which candle to light, or to light all of them, I jumped in and said no, no, we are supposed to light the this one from this scripture (it was the third candle down one over -> [img]images/icons/wink.gif" border="0[/img] . I'm not sure what scripture I was talking about, but I was right because a new room opened up. We had to fill out a paper that told about us, name, address, single/married, etc. We were all afraid to do this because we thought it was a trick by the men who were after us. However, we were also afraid to lie. Then, after filling these out, we had to go back into another room in groups. My husband was in the first group, I was in the second. A little time passed and one of our friends come running out of the room up to me telling me that I needed to go back there. He explained that once back there they are asked questions and if they lie they will perish. My husband was being asked who he loves and he refused to answer the question out of fear the the one he loves would then be subject to perish. I finally realized what was going on. It was a test of faith and God was helping each of us to see certain things more clearly. I went back there and pleaded with my husband to answer the question - honestly. With tears in his eyes he said no, I will die for you to protect you. I began to cry and tried to explain that it was safe to tell (I knew I wasn't to explain what exactly was the purpose here). He still refused. So, with tears in my eyes I told him either you tell the truth or I will lie and perish with you. We both told the truth - that we love eachother - and were allowed to leave. Then we left the church and were standing on the front porch of my mothers house (our first residence - while we were waiting for our house purchase to close). Then I woke up, remembering the whole thing, and I shared it with my husband.<p>When we left for mass on Easter Sunday I was compelled to light that candle. I felt that I really needed to. That I was being told to. Well, our church didn't have any candles up. So, after mass we were heading over to my parent's house, and I asked my husband to stop at the church over in their neighborhood so I can light the candle. (Note: this church is the church we were married in.) I ran inside just after their mass had ended and the candles were right inside the door. The third candle down, one over was sitting there, dark, like it was waiting for me to light it. I lit it and said a little prayer.<p>Now, I am currently in the process of reading a book called Healing for Damaged Emotions, by David A. Seamands. I don't know many scriptures, but I have been thinking and wondering what scripture my dream was referring to. So, in this book I came across a reference to
"Consider the incredible love that the Father has shown us in allowing us to be called 'children of God'" (1 John 3:1, PH). So, I wondered, is this what my dream was referring to? Is it coincidence? If it is, what is it trying to tell me? <p>Thanks to anyone who has read all of this. I could just use some help analyzing this. I am really drawn by this dream, and honestly feel there was a real message that I haven't quite found yet. This has never happened to me before, but some how I know it's real.
