A Interesting Dream

I have to put this down to try to understand it. Most dreams I have that I remember have to do with my military career and things I had to do. This dream I had last night is causing me to think. Here is what I dreamt.

I was in a big room filled with people in kind of a revival setting. There were people speaking and talking about Christ and coming to him. I remember I had to get up and go over to another location because I had left my bible there. I had to get it because they were talking about the book of Exodus. I then found myself in the midst of them with a sword in my hand. It was still in the scabbard. This is a sword I know very well as it is hanging on my wall. It is a family heirloom. I slowly walked back towards the exit. I remember seeing a lady who just watched me but did not try to stop me. I remember seeing people I know there. As I walked farther and farther back I found it harder to go on. I soon found myself in the back and by the exit. But something in me told me not to leave. SO I turned around and sat in the third row from the exit. That lady who was watching me smiled and turned back towards the front. She was sitting about halfway to the center and was assisting new members and children. As the revival ended, I can not really call it a revival as it seemed to be soo much more, they were passing out welcome information to those who were new to them. I remember being approached by two of the members. They started to talk but I told them to shut up. When persisted I remember drawing the sword about half way out and then slamming it back home. I turned to him and stated "I will read the material and study it but if you persist I will leave and leave this material where it sits." Now the material was on a round table next to me. The two did not say anything else but they did not leave. As more and more people came and went I just sat there. Finally I stood up and was reaching for the material. A couple ladies were dancing about and they came up and hugged me. As I took hold of the material in a shopping style bag I woke up. I have not had this vivid of a dream for a long time that did not have to do with my military. I can say it was in color and I was at peace with myself through it all.

That is an interesting dream KNtoran.

First off, do you attend church regularly. You use the term, 'revival', which I am not familiar with, and this term leads me to believe that you are Christian. If so then the setting of the dream, though uncommon for you is drawing from your natural experiences. If not, then the setting is key in interpreting the dream.

I am not one to extract esoteric meanings from symbols in a pagan fashion, so I would say your sword is something that provides you security. It makes you feel grounded. For some reason your subconscious felt it necessary to implement this image in a setting which really isn't that hostile. I believe that's what you have to address. Why would you feel it necessary to carry your sword into the setting of a peaceful ritual?

I am sure there are probably several theories explaining the 'vividness' of your dream. Do portions of your dreams ever come to pass? I ask this because when I have vivid dreams, very often a few weeks or a month down the road they come true. It is an absolute useless and I stress, useless, phenomena as what comes to pass is just a mundane event. Very often, however, these events are linked to a change or a revelation in my life, or something significant occurs in the life of someone close to me. I guess, you could also say it is an 'omen' if your beliefs swing that way. More commonly, such a dramatic recollection just means there is something big on your mind, it might be something that you feel is insignificant, but in truth it weighs heavily on your consciousness.

I attend church at times. I am one who believes in christ but I do not put a name to myself as I am always seeking truth of all things and ways of thinking.

I have always been one to enforce peace. I think that is what the sword represents. I am not one to start a conflict but I will be one of the first to step in to achieve peace. I am a peacekeeper.

Most of my dreams do not come true. many would call what I have most of the time Nightmares. I do not have many nice dreams. This is why this one interests me so much.

Indeed, if you are prone to nightmares and are not a devout church goer, then the setting and very nature of the dream is quite significant. Is there anything else, besides the sword, that is personal to you in the dream? Is there anything that is occurring in your life that is being forced upon you? Something that would make you seek comfort in the your past?

The only other thing was going to get my bible. BUt I did not have it when I was sitting.

No nothing is being forced upon me right now that I know of.
