My Two Recent Deaths

I have interesting dreams. Some of my dreams come true. In retrospect, most of what happens in my dreams are metaphorical.

I have not published most of my dreams on this site, for various reasons. But since I had two dreams of events that would result in a human body dying, I figured I'd type them up.

The reason I say they were "events that would result in a human body dying," instead of saying "I died," is because I didn't really die, they were dreams after all. :-)

God of the Living, For All Are Alive to Him

So before I describe the dreams I'll open with an interesting line from Yeshua/Jesus that I may have had some insight in to. A bunch of religious leaders and teachers questioned Yeshua about marriage, death, and heaven. One of the things Jesus said about God was, "he is not the God of the dead, but of the living, for all are alive to him." [Luke 20:38]

That is how it was for me in my dreams.

2008-11-02 - Crushed by a Huge Object

I was with a college roommate in a large open-space building. It was like an airplane hanger, but not, it was more rectangular. My roommate was using the computer and I was on another computer, trying to watch some Jimi Hendrix.

Then a rocket took off someplace in the room we were in! It went up through the roof, there wasn't much (or any) fire or smoke, but a large and round piece of metal either fell off the rocket, or was knocked off the sides of the building's walls.

I watched that large, round, metal object fall straight towards me, I watched it fall right on me! It fell exactly where I was standing, but bounced up as soon as it hit the ground. I must have been in the spirit. If was standing there as a human, I'd have been squashed flat. If it is prophetic, all I can say is my consciousness didn't skip a beat.

My other recent death was similar. I died, but I didn't really die.

2008-11-07 - Shot in the Chest at Close Range

There was someone to my immediate left. It seemed like we were in a school, maybe a science lab. It was a bit hard to notice since I could see so far in the distance.

It was like I could see through many walls, and could see a crowd coming to us. There were a few people in front, and many following behind them.

They came right up to us and shot us, at close range, just one or two arm lengths away. I guess the bullet missed my heart, but I recall slumping to the ground in slow motion, and even laying there for a while, playing dead. Then I stood back up.

The dream continues, but I'm not going to include it here.

So in both dreams I died, but I didn't really die. Curious.
