I had this dream just before I got up this morning. In the first scene of the dream, I was in a car in a parking lot with my husband. He got out of the vehicle and went somewhere. As I was waiting, I thought he was going to be late. Then I saw him walking back to the car with a bottle of vodka in his hand. I was thinking if he messes with that stuff it will make him late. Then the scene switched. I was standing at an area that felt like my mother's house in heaven. (she is saved and passed last year) I was looking at a table that was square in size with a white tablecloth on it. On top of the table were white-size boxes about 1 1/2' square. Each box had a large white envelope on top. I sensed my mother telling me these boxes were Easter gifts for us. I took the "for us" as me and my brothers.

Then suddenly I was standing at this entrance where thousands of people were standing. I felt if I wanted to, I could enter that area and head toward the front. I couldn't see what was going on, but I knew up ahead...maybe 1000 ft. or more was the main focus of activity. I knew it had to do with a job I had to do. This area of people seemed extremely busy.

Again the scene switched, and I felt like I was in the house I grew up in. A male friend I know in real life was in the house. We were talking about whether we should notify work, because we would probably not make it to work. In the dream, I was thinking about that area where all the people were. That event going on there was why we thought we would miss work.

...And then I woke up due to my cell phone beeping. My concerns for my husband not drinking were shown in the first part of the dream. The 2nd part of the dream felt like I was in heaven. The light was very bright and white. The first thing I thought about after waking was my mother gave me an easter greeting, and tell my brothers about the dream. I felt like the large gathering of people was a heavenly event of some sort. From other dreams I have had of heaven...just seems like an instant knowing. What's interesting is the last time I had a dream of heaven, it occurred 2 days before a holiday. This also happened to my sister-in-law 2 days before christmas. Her son called her in her dream to wish her a merry christmas and say he loved her. He was saved and passed last year as well.

If the rapture happens before this coming Monday, I won't be able to call in to work...and I hope it does. In the meantime, occupy whether it happens or not. God Bless, Jan

dear jan, thanks for uplifting dream. also had dreams about my mother and grandmother (passed on) preparing dresses for the children... some big occasion. roll on ! My (scoffing) husband dreamt of new very large restaurant coming to town. we both heard 2 trumpet sounds in kitchen yesterday - quite clearly, out of the blue.

last night felt as if was being transformed ... hoped for rapture... then it stopped. could not sleep.

am full of anxiety. in real life, my father shouted at me 'dont be going to those stupid aa meetings when your sister is here'. she is coming with kids tomorrow. she is chronically alcoholic but in denial. and my dad is kind of enabling her. my mother died from this when i was 16. and no-one seems to support me in my attempt to stay in recovery - thank God. am feeling abandoned. cannot cope with the imminent drinking ahead of me, it is so hard to stay loving. i am on my knees. i have nothing left. but the grace of Jesus. this site is greatly encouarging, as i am seriously running out of .... strenght. although i would never want to take my own life, as i see the void it leaves... I yearn to go home . Even so, come quickly Lord jesus.

"But now be strong, O Zerubbabel," declares the Lord. "Be strong, O Joshua son of Jehozadak, the high priest. Be strong, all you people of the land," declares the Lord, "and work. For I am with you," declares the Lord Almighty. "This is what I covenanted with you when you came out of Egypt. And My Spirit remains among you. Do not fear" (Haggai 2:4-5).

Folvier, Welcome to RITAN, and thank you for sharing. I hope the rapture is soon. The dream was an answer to pray. I had been asking the Lord to just let me see how my mother is doing in heaven. She is fine...and the dream showed they are very busy. I am sure your mother is very happy in heaven, and thinking about you often. The love never stops. God Bless, Jan

Teen Queen, and thank you for your response back to me. Every believer has battles to deal with. For me, I was at war so to speak regarding the people in my life. I am just starting to experience some peace the past couple of months after a couple of years of trouble. My husband and I have a roommate that shares our house. The roommate is saved but soooo worldly with not wanting to give up the partying. My brother separated from his wife a few months before his son (my nephew) and our mother passed. They passed 3 weeks apart...tough grieving period for him...for me I was at total peace. The Lord gave me immediate dreams they were in heaven. Hard to grieve when peace is overriding it. For a time, My brother stayed with us and brought bad elements of people over. The chaos was crazy...not enough space to explain all of it! Anyways, I stood my ground and got really bold in Christ. I told all involved that I had claimed this house for Christ, and would not allow anyone to practice sin on the property. I blessed the house with oil and walked up and down the driveway when no one was home...praying outloud and rebuking the enemy. I asked for angelic protection. I did this continually any chance I got. What a battle...but one by one events would occur that resulted in my brother leaving...and all the bad company that came with him never came back. The roommate is slowly waking up to living for Christ....a work in progress. Husband is saved but not even a milk christian...more like a pacifier binky christian., but I see signs of growth. I had to get a healthy anger toward things and the exposure to evil. I thought of Jesus driving the money changers out of the temple, thought of Him casting out demons, and many other examples in the bible. The Lord is our example...fight the good fight of faith...one victory at a time. Prayer is good. I called different ministries asking them to pray and be in agreement with me about my concerns..All I can say is the Lord does hear and answer prayer. His answers and how they transpire may differ from our thoughts on matters...His are the best. I think of this...the word says...Judgement is mine sayeth the Lord, I will repay...the Lord knows how to handle all situations...in perfect timing. Well, this is a little long-winded...just wanted you to know you are not alone...and we all have struggles....Talk to Jesus often....about everything...God Bless, Jan

folvier, I think our loved ones in heaven have all sorts of things they do. They do the will of the Father I believe. Whatever that will is, I am sure they serve with much happiness. I would like to think our loved ones know that Jesus will return soon to rapture us, and they will be with Him when He comes as they too get their new bodies. The dead in Christ rise first in this process. It will happen in the twinkling of an eye...I take that to mean very fast.

One of my brothers had a dream about my mother after she passed. In the dream, he said he was just suddenly standing in a room that seemed to be her apartment or dwelling in heaven. He said she was preparing tea and talking to another man that he did not recognize. He said she seemed extremely at peace and happy. He said me and one of my other brothers were with him. He said as we stood there looking at my mother, he nudged my other brother with extreme excitement and said, "Look at Mom, she looks so young! Of course I had all sorts of questions for him about the dream. We both pondered the thoughts of...could it be that the Lord allowed the 3 of us to have a glimpse?..I believe so. If I was there in his dream or short visit to heaven with him...I do not recall, but I believe it happened.

Last year after she passed, I had a brief dream about her. I was standing in a room that seemed like a bedroom. The bed had all sorts of silks drapped around it. My mother was sleeping on the bed. As I stood there she woke up. She just started talking and talking. In the dream I heard her clearly. I was so excited that I felt like I had my cell phone with me. If I actually did I do not recall. But I said, "I have to record your voice so they can hear it to prove I was here." She immediately said, "Put that down...or turn that off...I don't recall exactly....and then she said that doesn't work here." Then I woke up. How much they are allowed to do as far as talking with us here on earth I do not know..I speculate the Lord perhaps gives us brief glimpses with love sent thru dreams or visions for comfort and healing...to ease us from grieving. When we do meet again, our questions will be answered I am sure. For know, I can only say the peace I have of knowing I have at least 4 family members there is extreme comfort. I say 4 because I have had dreams of my mother, nephew, my dad and his dad..my grandfather. Many dreams....they gave me comfort of not to worry. They are all ok and happy. I remember all the dreams fairly clear and never write them down. The are pure memories that stay clear in my mind. It all points to the awesome love and power that encompasses our Lord and Savior. It it without question how much Jesus loves us...right down to knowing we need His comfort. He is real..heaven is real..and Jesus will come to rapture us. When it happens...it will be in His perfect timing. In the meantime, we have a job to do for the Lord while we are here...to spread the news He is coming...that Jesus is the only way to heaven...John 3:16 is the gospel in a nutshell. We represent Christ..it is awesome to believe without seeing..we just know that we know..Praises to the Lord!! God Bless, Jan
