Why is it that we have terrible dreams in the middle of the night? What causes them? Is there some psychological trigger that brings the unthinkable into quasi-reality?
My wife awoke me last night at 3:30. I had my head in my hands and I was crying uncontrollably. I had experienced a dream that was so real that I was visably shaken.
The dream concerned the future death of my mother. I cannot tell you how or why she died, nor did I see her dead body, for the dream itself consisted of the interaction between me and my siblings as we went about the process of planning her funeral. When I awoke I was overcome by grief and felt a terrible emptiness within myself. My mother raised me to respect other people so I strongly resisted the urge I had to telephone her and make sure she was alright.
My mother is a lovely person. She is totally selfless, loving, kind, and encouraging. It is my prayer, that God blesses her with many, many enjoyable days to come.
Go in peace...serve the Lord!
