I had a crazy dream not too long after I first received the Holy Ghost, and it has stuck with me for a long time. Before I tell you the dream, I feel I must tell you a few things that had been on my mind at the time.
A few days before the dream, I had taken my son to his pediatrician for his checkup. They weigh him, then plot his weight on a chart. I'm sure you parents on here know what I'm talking about.
I also had read an article about a woman who had placed her baby inside of a microwave.
And, I was studying end time prophecy for a while, and people's different interpretations.
Anyway, here's my dream:
I lived inside some kind of institution. There were other people living there also, and we had no choice because we were forced to live there. I was told that the form of Pentecostalism that I believed in wasn't allowed, but there was another kind that was allowed (can't remember the name, started with a Z). I refused, of course.
I don't know where my husband was, but my son was in another part of this place and I wasn't allowed to see him. I was in this area that resembled a classroom, and there were other people in there also.
There were people that watched over us, and I remember one woman taking a girl's newborn baby from her and putting it in a microwave. I wanted to stop her, but I knew I was powerless to do anything. I went into the bathroom, and this woman opened the door in front of everyone and shoved me up against the wall, screaming in my face. I was humiliated.
Throughout this whole dream, I was emotionless. Completely empty inside.
All of a sudden, me and all the other people are sitting outside on some picnic tables. It is night time, and I am talking on a cell phone to my younger sister. This is what she said to me.
"I know you are pregnant, I can tell. You know they don't like that, do you know what they are going to do when they find out?"
All of a sudden I hear a woman's voice scream "Jesus!" (actually it was like a unanimous voice coming from the whole earth) and I looked up in the sky.
The words "Lord Savior" were written in the sky with stars. Next to the words were a bunch of stars patterned to look like my son's weight on his chart.
I felt the Holy Ghost stir up inside of me, and I started to rise in the air. I looked over, and my son was also rising in the air, and I embraced him as we rose up together.
I woke up crying.
What do you think this all means?

I think it means you had a crazy dream... I have had a few myself.

Articles on such subjects as "The New Birth," will be accepted, whether they teach that the new birth takes place before baptism in water and Spirit, or that the new birth consists of baptism of water and Spirit. - THE PENTECOSTAL HERALD Dec. 1945
"It is doubtful if any Trinitarian Pentecostals have ever professed to believe in three gods, and Oneness Pentecostals should not claim that they do." - Daniel Segraves
Sometimes dreams are pretty obvious in what they mean and other times they are difficult to figure out.
I believe that most times dreams are your mind working out stress, worries, problems, issues.,etc. Other times some dreams just seem totally random and without a point.

"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.
"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.
"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."
Quote from Ethel Goss (widow of 1st UPC Gen Supt. Howard Goss) book "The Winds of God"
...and sometimes, God speaks to us thru dreams. (Acts 2:17). Now, I've had my share of dreams that stem from worry and late nite tacos, but sometimes, God speaks to our sub-concious mind things He can't get thru to our concious minds.
I think the sisters dream may not be as insignificant as it might seem. And it certainly itsn't as crazy as she might think. As I read thru it, these verses came to mind...
Rom 8:21 Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God.
Rom 8:22 For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now.
Rom 8:23 And not only [they], but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, [to wit], the redemption of our body.
But what do I know. I'm no Daniel, nor am I a Joseph.
