Twilight

Webster defines Twilight as an intermediate state that is not clearly defined or the light from the sky between full night and sunrise or from full light and sunset. And I bet you guys thought I was talking about Vampires. Nevertheless it is a time where strange things happen. In our household we call it twilight sleep and we have always known in our family even from children what Twilight sleep means but most of all what happens during this state.

Strange things happen during Twilight sleep I remember watching the Famous show called “the Twilight Zone” (the old version not the new) and there was an episode about a little girl who had slipped into another dimension in her bedroom; it was a good show but I believe art imitates life and I’m quite sure this has happened to someone, this has happened to us. I’m going to tell you a few stories in our household about what happened during Twilight.

The Angels

My first experience with twilight sleep was when I was about the age of 5 and a Angel was standing over me it’s hard to explain it, is was like viewing something 3 dimensionally you feel it and you see it from multiple vantage points, your own, the Angels and from a third vantage point outside of yourself . It took me years to describe this episode I only knew at the age of 5 it was the best feeling in the world I did not want to open my eyes because in doing so I would become fully awake and the angel would go away although my eyes were closed I could see and feel the angel starring down directly at me with a smile I could literally feel the smile. I was smiling too it felt like euphoria I have never felt like that since. And I knew the Angel was my angel and she was there to experience the wonder of me maybe the innocence of me and I have never experienced them like that ever since. Most importantly this happened within a space of seconds before you become fully awake from completely asleep. This is the Twilight.

My Mother experienced Twilight in the evening she was babysitting my then 5 and 6 year old niece and nephew and had fallen asleep. And yet again upon her semi awake state she saw with her spiritual eyes because her physical eyes were still closed a women in her home she could describe her very accurately she had a scarf on her head and she had on a simple dress she was looking at the children very sternly as if she was serious about watching the children as if she was there to babysit and fill in for a sleeping grandmother. My mother had not intended on falling asleep during babysitting but had been exhausted. Is was as if the Angel knew this and was there to help’ upon seeing her she became completely awake and with a start quickly called to my 6 year old nephew and said “who have you guys let in the house!” and my nephew looking at her confused and said “we haven’t let anyone in Grandma” My mother knew then what she had seen

The 4th dimension

My Sister Valerie had an experience during Twilight that disturbed her she actually woke up in the 4th dimension this is a place that looks like the place your from but is not, everything was turned inside out and upside down she distinctly knew this was not right and prayed that she would go back to sleep and wake up in the correct place in the known dimensional world we all are familiar with.

I vaguely remember waking up as a child on the other side of my wall I knew I was not in the right place everything appeared as though it was backwards and inside out you are completely paralyzed so you cannot move, it very scary and eerily quiet in this place. You pray to go back asleep and you do and are relieved when you’re back in the correct place.

There is a reason why we say prayers before we go to bed in the night we are vulnerable in every way we need G-d to protect us as we sleep there’s a dark side of sleeping and dreaming that I have only touched the tip of the iceberg on. But I know that I have G-ds protection. During the day and at night.

G-d Reveals Secrets to his Servants

If you have had a dream and it’s boggling you send it to me and maybe I can interpret what G-d has revealed to you in the night sleep.

Secrets Revealed and the Power of Prayer

I call these types of dreams” secrets revealed” , Many of my dreams are dreams of secrets being revealed, meaning that something is being revealed in the dream about a situation, a person, a place, or the country; specifically a truth being revealed that was not readily known just upon surface observation or conscious thought. This particular dream I believe is something being revealed about a place, but also about the Country. I will also stress how important it is to pray after dreaming,

The Fire, Was it a Cover-up?

I walked into the a Grocery Store and after attaining my goods proceeded to the checkout, in this dream I remember pulling out my credit card to use, I opened my wallet and the cashier pulled out of my wallet a credit card, surprised! I told her to put it back, she did, but after a while I decide to look through my wallet and to my surprise the cashier had not put my credit card back, but instead had replaced it with a card that looked like a credit card but was not. It was one of those fake cards, you know; the type that comes in a wallet when you buy it new. I was livid I went back to the counter to complain” what had happened to my card! Just then as I was standing in line I started to hear popping noises, I than realized a fire had started in one of the isles. And as everyone piled out of the store the fire seem to almost engulf the store with billows of black smoke and flames. I then woke up

Now to my surprise the very next morning there was a report on the news about a Popular Grocery Store in Chicago that had caught fire, as I listened to the report, and as the story unfolded they reported that the fire had started from the inside they even showed a video that was the exact replica of the billows of black smoke and flames I had seen in my dream, but they were somewhat unclear as to why the fire started.

I have never heard anything more about this fire. Was it a cover up for something more? But I have observed after having this dream there were many more reports of identity theft and credit card fraud even to this day. Just recently there was a report on the news about individuals who after their cards were taken by the Patron for processing the card was then switched and the Victim had no idea of the switch until weeks and months later because the fake cards were similar they never bothered to look closely at the card they just put it inside their wallets and went home, by the time they discovered the switch the damage was already done.

After having a dream where secrets are revealed, as a believer I take it as a queue to pray, whether it’s good or bad, I cannot always determine any outcome of the dream but I do believe if G-d has shown it to me than he has given me the ability to pray concerning it, and maybe just maybe the outcome would be better, so for anyone who has night visions, prayer is key, without it, what good is it. It’s surely not to heap any glory upon ourselves as if any of these night visions are any of our own doing and not to pray would be a disservice to the gifts that God has instilled within me and my family.

“Prayer Changes Things”

I remember when I was in my early 20’s I worked for a Telemarketing firm near O’Hare Airport it was quite a drive but when you’re young you don’t think about long drives and since I believed I was a safe driver I never gave it a second thought, until one morning as I was getting ready to leave and my mother looked at me with that look and said “you’re going to work today Rachel?, now it was obvious that I was going to work but the look on her face told me there was more behind that question, so I answered yes’ Why? And I could tell she didn’t want to go into detail about the dream so she just said “drive carefully”. And for a minute I became a little irritated, as if my mother would interrupt my peace of mind with her dream at the last minute on purpose,. So I just said “ok I will” and I left for work.

Of course I drove carefully all the way and arriving at work without incident. As I drove into my employer’s parking lot I felt relieved even letting out a sigh of relief. Through the course of my work day I thought no more about it, it didn’t even occur to me to think about the drive home.

As I left the building it had only been snowing for about 10 minutes the first snow is always the most dangerous especially in Chicago. But even then my Mothers warnings seemed to have eluded me, not until I rounded that bin, it was like going down a hill at Cumberland avenue, in the distance I could see the utility truck parked to the right side of the entrance ramp, you know the kind of truck with the big lighted arrow at the back pointing left. But there was still plenty of room for me to maneuver to the left,

My car must have missed that bulletin; it started to skid anyway but directly to the right! toward the back of the truck! I had totally lost control I knew it would hit, and I yelled “Oh my God! And just at that moment my car did a quick jerk to the left, I totally slid off of the median into the grassy area. I can’t hardly remember what happened but my car had done a 180 degree turn, and I was now facing the opposite direction in which I was driving my heart was beating out of my chest now, I thought surely this would cause more accidents. But to my surprise the line of cars behind me had all come to a complete stop, all waiting for me to slowly maneuver my car back unto the expressways entrance, and I did so slowly and carefully no one blew their horns no one was impatient, I could only describe as an audience watching the show unfold I knew at that moment even they were surprised that I had escaped damage, not even a scratch to the car. I then slowly drove the hours drive to my house.

All the way home my mother’s warnings were in my head but most of all at that moment I knew when my mother told me to drive carefully that she would be praying, I took no comfort in the dream but I did take comfort in the prayers, the prayers that warded off disaster, how else could I explain the turn of the car at the last minute, the line of cars coming to a complete stop without sliding themselves, it was the prayer that changed the situation the dreams only warned but the prayer warded off danger. As the scripture says the effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much. (James 5-16)

The Coming Storm

Whenever a Natural Disaster has occurred in the land the first question we ask as a family of dreamers is who dreamed about it, and most of the time we don’t have to ask that question because the answer is someone already has.

I call my sister Valerie my dream buddy because whenever either one of us has a dream we call each other to get their take on it or to help with interpretations as well as with other family members who have had dreams , it’s funny how usually she can interpret mine and I hers. But as we both begin to recite them to each other the interpretation becomes clear to both of us.

Storm dreams could represent a personal storm in your life, but there’s no way of telling whether it’s your own personal storm or a literal storm to come; until after. And when both I and my sister had dreams about this coming storm we knew it was going to be something big.

The first dream is my Sister Valerie’s and her dreams are usually chocked full of animated symbolisms, I call it “Righteous Rain”,

In this dream I’m outside with my children and I appear up into the sky and it starts to rain but as the rain pour down and just before the rain hit the ground the raindrops transform into men and they are dressed in old fashioned tunics like in the ancient days and carried swords and as they dropped out of the sky and their feet hit the ground they started running immediately with swords in hand and they spread out everywhere like a Andromeda strain of men across the land, I screamed to my children get inside!! Everybody Get inside!! And we all ran inside! It rained all night and the next morning I looked outside and I could see the residual effects of a new day and everything was washed clean.

When my sister recited this dream to me I got a picture in my head of an old Movie called the “The Scorpion King’ it was part of ‘The Mummy trilogy. When she told me about the men spreading everywhere I thought of this movie with the Black creatures half man half beast that spread over the desert moving fast as water. When I told my sister about this picture she said that was exactly how the men looked as they spread over the ground.

In my dream there’s not so many symbolism I call it “the Power of Three”

In my dream I psychically hear the rain pouring against the shutters of the house so loud I could hardly stand it, and then the dream shifts I’m now at my church and I see people pouring into the building, they all have their hands up, almost as in surrender. I awake from this immediately. This doesn’t seem like much of a dream except the fact that I had it three nights in a row. I had never had a dream 3 nights in a row before and on the third night as I awoke I actually sat up in bed and said” My God what is this.

”Some of you may have already guessed what happened next, and if you haven’t here it is

Exactly three weeks after my dream Hurricane Katrina descended upon the Gulf Coast of America with New Orleans getting the worst of it because of the levee breaks the death toll stood at around 1800 but the residual aftermath death toll could have been somewhere around 5,000 or more even the experts were unsure of the final death count.

In my sisters dream the men with swords symbolized the deaths that would follow this storm which is still one of the deadliest storms on record, ironically the name Katrina means Purity or Purify which is what my sister saw the following day. A new day washed clean.

Anything is established in two or three’s it also represents the divine establishment. In my dream the hard rain represented the hurricane storm. It also represented three in a way to say it would be established, it would be eminent maybe even a type of judgment to come, also I noticed church attendance spiked shortly after Hurricane Katrina this also happened right after 9/11. I’m not sure why people enduring difficulties tend to cause them to seek after God.

I and my sister also knew that this was a time to pray. It’s not a time to point fingers and say this is why that happened because this is what they have done. We all sin and fall short of the grace of G-d. It was another opportunity to show people we see and we care enough to help and pray.

If you have a dream that has boggled you, email me and find out what G-d has revealed to you in the night sleep.

"No Mediums"

Joseph of the Bible dreamed many dreams {Genesis 37}
No wonder the book of Genesis is my favorite book of the Bible and as a Christian I always shied away from things that seemed as though it may be attached to the Occult like Witches, Warlocks, Necromancers, and Mediums

Mediums, what does that mean? I didn’t know and didn’t want to find out, but lately I had become an Avid Watcher of the Show ‘Medium’, the name alone was almost enough to keep me away, and I had successfully done so but one day as I was scanning through channels trying to find something to watch this show called” Medium” caught my attention and although I was a little leery of the name I decided to put my fears aside and watch. By the time I had finished watching the series my mouth was open with shock, Although a lot of the show was embellished for dramatic effect I knew that the person behind this material knew a little something about dreaming and coming from a family of Dreamers or in our case Night Visionaries I could so relate and it was the closes thing to watching my family on screen.

My Mother was the first Dreamer of the Family and As far back as I could remember I my three sisters and brother would all take Notice when my Mother would have a dream, now you may say a dream is just a dream, but when my Mother would dream it was not just a dream, and as she would recite them back to us there was something in her voice that would let us know that this was different This was no laughing matter, I’m not sure if we always took our Mother’s dreams seriously but when I was sixteen years old my Mother had a dream and after that I started paying closer attention, I will tell you about it later.

I could always remember having dreams but after I become a born again believer my dreams took on a less Carnel meaning and a more spiritual meaning, almost prophetic in nature this happened with my sister as well. I always believed my Mother’s dreams were a spiritual gift from G-d and I still do, but I also believe that dreaming can also be passed down almost like a Dream Gene or Vision Gene, whatever you want to call it but as we grew older and started having children of our own and they too started dreaming I knew it was more to it than that.

I begin taking mental notes of the Johnson Family dreams, mostly my Mothers my Sisters and Myself, but I hadn’t realized I had so much in my head until I started trying to write them down. I first tried to facebook them then I tried to twitter them, but they were too long, too involved and so much more to recite than I could possibly squeeze into such a small forum, but with an Article I could share with you the World of Night Visions and everything it entails according to my experiences, so I share with you “Here Comes this Dreamer Now”.

I hope you will be intrigued, Maybe even become a little more spiritual, you may laugh you may cry but most of all you will gain knowledge. G-d reveals secrets to his servants, and I hope to reveal a little bit about the spiritual World as G-d has revealed to us through dreams. Now for that dreamed I promised; this first dream is dedicated to my late Mother Dorothy Johnson June-(1936—Nov 2009) it is also her dream

My mother was sitting in church waiting for the services to start and the Pastor of The church at the time says over the loud speaker “ everyone please kneel down and pray something is about to happen” Something about the urgency in his voice caused my mother alarm to the point that she ferverently went into prayer, and while she was praying suddenly someone interrupted her prayer with a tap on the shoulder and she turned and looked up to a tall dark skinned man and he said to her “you can stop praying now it has happened.” She immediately woke up.I recall my mother being worried and in prayer for days behind these types of dreams, but more importantly I recalled when one week later my mother received the call from my Aunt who lived in Memphis that their sister My Aunt Jo’s son had died suddenly in a car Accident.

Later my mother recalled in that same dream the tall man who tapped her on the shoulder in church was her nephew Joe Andrew whom had died.

I don’t know about you but it made my hair stand on end…

I call these types of dreams “death dreams”; they are very sobering, even for the whole family. Talk about a way to keep your kids in line. Although I’m quite sure my mother wasn’t dreaming to keep her kids in line but after having 5 kids this kind of gift sure gave her a lot of leverage. But I still prayed to G-d that I would never have such dreams, although I have had what I call ‘death comfort dreams’ (dreams of comfort following the death of a loved one or close friend}
After my Mother died I was somewhat disappointed that I had not had a death comfort dream but my niece Cari had, I realized that she needed it more since my Mother had raised her and her sister from babies she took her death very hard so after she recited this dream to the family it was very comforting to everyone, I will end my Blog on a happy note by reciting her dream:

In this dream my niece is in a room and she’s waiting to get married and in walks my mother She’s beautiful, not sick like we last saw her My mother is wearing a white dress her makeup and hair is immaculate she looks healthy and happy, my niece exclaims ‘Grandma “She says to my niece “don’t worry about a thing baby this was meant to be” my niece than says” I love you grandma and my Mother says I love you Cari and she then hugs and kisses her and hands my niece a white flower.

In later Blogs I will talk about the different types of dreams, interpretation of dreams, symbols in dreams and gifts that follow dreams, mission dreams and many more, I hope you will eventually trust me enough to tell me some of your night visions. Of course I will give you examples of the never-ending dream sequences of the Johnson Family. I will recite the dreams of myself my mother sisters, nieces, nephews and my son. And hope you follow me as I also learn and gain knowledge in the Secret world of Dreams
