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)
