Angels in Formation

15 February 2015. I dreamed I was in a house with other family, including one sister and my mother, Julie, who now lives in Heaven. I was looking out a big picture window and a figure became visible in front of me. It was a warrior angel, appearing like a large man, wearing war paint and vestiges, but in a sophisticated way.
I called out to my sister and mother excitedly to come and look. My sister came and looked very interested, although she didn't say anything, but my mother glanced out the window and just said something like, "Oh, yes, I know," very matter-of-factly, as though she was used to it. Since she lives in Heaven, I guess she sees them all the time.
As I looked, many more angels appeared around the warrior angel, oblivious to gravity apparently, as some were upside down and some were forming circular patterns around the big angel. "There are lots of them!" I exclaimed, in excitement.
As we watched, the angels became upright and formed a big group, facing us. They then walked towards us, coming right through the walls as though the walls weren't there and walked on by, as though going somewhere with a purpose. I wasn't scared at all. I was interested and excited.
It occurred to me that I should "test the spirit" so I asked one going by me, "Are you of Jesus?" He didn't answer, so I asked another, "Are you of Jesus?" This one turned and looked at me with what can only be described as a wry, tolerant, yet kind expression that clearly said, "Do you really need to ask?" But he smiled at me beautifully and lovingly and said, "Yes."
The dream changed to another scene and then I woke up, in a state of delicious, peaceful and happy drowsiness, with a song going around in my head: "Let the blind man say, 'I can see again'." (From Integrity Music, Let the River Flow.)

God's School & the Abyss

When I was 5 or 6, I dreamed I was walking up a hill with many other people, of different ages and ethnicities. All of us were intent on hurrying towards our goal, a cheerful-looking, large building with many windows up a hill. Instinctively, I understood it to be "God's School of Learning". About halfway up the hill, we all had to stop, because we came to a narrow abyss. It stretched out to our left and to our right as far as the eye could see. Looking down into it, I could only see blackness. Just to my left was the only way across. It was a bridge, roughly hewn out of rock, about the width of a car, but plenty wide enough for everyone to walk across comfortably.

I stopped for a moment to watch the other people. Some were sliding down into the abyss. Some were trying to jump across, but not quite making it. Some were jumping straight into the abyss. I recall my mind trying to control what the people were doing, but I don't know if that affected the dream or not.

Some were walking across the bridge. I decided that was the sensible option, and I, too, would walk across the bridge. I began to walk across it. About halfway across, I suddenly found myself right on the edge, on one knee with the other leg dangling over into the abyss. In fright I began to cry and call out for my mother. I woke up to find her at my side, comforting me over the "nightmare".

Hole in the Sky

30 May 2011. I dreamed that former husband and I were each driving our respective vehicles somewhere. I went a different route, and when I stopped at the other end to try and find him, in some kind of supermarket/built up area, it was to find hundreds of people standing around gazing up at the sky. I looked up to see what the attraction was and saw that a large hole had been torn in the atmosphere - not round and tidy like the ozone hole - but raggedy, and it was peeling further and further away, getting larger and larger by the minute. Beyond the hole was deep, dark space with the odd pinpoint of a star here and there. Everyone around me was standing staring at it in fascination.

A Tapestry of People

May 2012. I dreamed I was at a public meeting. The speaker was sharing about God. In the audience there was an elderly man, who was working on a huge tapestry, which was hanging on some kind of frame. It was a work in progress. On one side there were hundreds of threads hanging loose,but on the other side was a beautiful and intricate pattern, made up of different ethnic colours. The man laughed at the speaker and mocked God, saying that the world was a mess and why if God was there, why wasn't He able to fix it?
As I pondered what he was saying, wondering how to respond, I was given a word for him. I walked up to him and said, "Do you see your tapestry? The side with all the threads is like the people of the world. They appear untidy and chaotic. But on the other side is God's finished product - a beautiful work of art - that is what they will become."
The man looked at his tapestry in surprise, and did not have a response.

Hovering Bibles on Chest

11 February 2007. I dreamed I was with a lot of people at a church service. I was jostled around at the front with some of the worship team. I was trying to stay out of their way, and as I did, I noticed something peculiar but lovely. On my chest there was a little white Bible with the words "Holy Bible" written clearly on the front. It was closed and seemed to be held by light, hovering on my chest and yet permanently connected to me. It was like a little hologram. I looked around. The other people around me had them, too! They weren't all in the same place on our chests, but all were the same, little white Bibles hovering somewhere in the area of the chest of each believer.
I found myself on the other side of the room with people unfamiliar to me, and wondered if they were church folk. Then I looked at the lady next to me, and saw that she too had a little Bible on her, so I knew she was a believer. When she moved, it moved with her, sometimes disappearing momentarily, but always coming back when she stayed still. I was quite thrilled with this discovery.

Warning about Film

When I was 13 I went to see the film Jaws. I had grown up with the sea and had no fear of it. But after watching that film, I did! I used to be terrified that there would be a tidal wave, and the water would cover my house, a shark might come in my window and ... you get the picture.
Then the film Grizzly came out. My friends were all going to see it. I wanted to as well, but I thought about the fear I now had of the sea, and I didn't want to be afraid of forest! So I asked God to show me if it was okay that I went to see Grizzly. A couple of nights later, I dreamed that I was running through a dense forest with a huge bear after me. I ran and ran. Just as I came to a shallow stream, the bear caught up and I felt its claws rake down my back. I did not feel any pain, but I did feel tremendous fear - then I awoke. I knew I was not to see the film. I was very glad, because when a friend later talked about the scenes, it was apparent to me that it would have scared me a lot.

The Department Store of Gifts

I was in a big department store with other family. As I was walking a voice came over the loudspeaker. "Come to (such and such a place)." This was followed with instructions that when I got there, I was to give away as much as I could of what I found there for a certain amount of time. It was a reasonable length time.
I went to the place and found it was a HUGE display stand, set up for me, covered in lots of exciting things - most of which seemed to be children-related, but there were some others that weren't. Books, jigsaws, toys, kitchen things and so on. And there was a BIG Lego set, with a great big box. The Lego had been taken out of it and made up into its display. I immediately thought of my son who is very involved with Lego, and called out to him to come.
The children were excitedly looking around the stand. I began giving them things as fast as I could. A niece was there. Somehow I knew her favourite author and pointed out some books by the author that she could choose from if she wanted. Her mother was sitting on the floor, just outside the stall area, with a little boy on her lap of about 2 years old. I found a wooden jigsaw suitable for that age and went over and offered it to her for the little boy. She decided no, so I just said she was welcome to have a look and find something she wanted for him.
Meanwhile, my son had shown up and I led him to the Lego box. He was thrilled. Someone had knocked the Lego thing over with all the excitement of looking around the toys, so I told him he was welcome to pick up everything he could find in the way of Lego, which he was more than happy to do and got stuck into it.
Then it occurred to me that there was far too much stuff just for my family. I began looking for stuff to give to others in the store. I realized that the whole idea was to give away to all and sundry, as much as possible. The first things I grabbed were two battery torches, and handed them to a couple of adults seated nearby. They were surprised but very pleased. I looked back at the stand to continue, and that's where the dream ended and moved onto other things.

Angelic Rider on Horse

14 November 2014. Coming on tail end of a previous dream: I was in a room facing a big window. Apparently the whole wall was made of glass and was quite high up. The pastor of my church was standing in front of me talking to me, but my attention was caught by a cloud just outside the window to my right. As I looked, the cloud appeared to be the shape of a horse! I said to the pastor, "Hey look at that cloud." He carried on talking, but I was no longer listening because my attention was riveted by the cloud which became clearer and clearer.
Finally I realized it was not a cloud, but a horse and rider! Then the rider moved his horse in one swift movement and come to stand right in front of me outside the window. I said, "that's no cloud". My first thought was that it was one of the Lord's angels riding on a horse. It got clearer and clearer until it was extremely clear. When I saw the rider properly I got nervous and wondered if he really was one of the Lord's ones.
But there was no doubt about the horse. It was magnificent! A very large horse with a beautiful body, chocolate brown with a very smooth hide. Big nostrils. He moved forward right close to the glass in front of me. At which point I was not too sure about the rider and commanded them to go in Jesus' name and shut my eyes. I was conscious that the glass was gently dissolving and there was nothing to stop them getting to me even though there was now no barrier between them and me. However, nothing happened and I woke up.
Then I remembered a public ministry figure who says she has been shown Michael, chief of the warring angels, and his army of the Lord's angels. She said that the warring angels do not look like namby pamby angels as we might expect. She said that they are fearsome looking beings, many very large with weapons actually built into them with which to fight the devil on our behalf. So when I remembered that, I realized the being I saw was quite mild, really, when compared with some of the ones she was shown. The one I saw appeared to have some kind of green and black armor, head to toe - whether that was part of him or just something he wore, I don't know. His eyes were slanted like Spiderman's. Anyway, when I woke up I felt bad for telling him and his horse to go in Jesus' name, and I prayed and said, Lord Jesus, if that was really an angel from Your own army, then please pass on my apologies for telling them to go away! Because that horse was truly magnificent. I thought about my love of animals and how it came up right close, as though it wanted to.
