Dreaming of Jesus

So I said I would blog about this dream that I had about Jesus' return, so here it is! For those who have never heard me say this, I trend to have very vivid dreams. It has to do with the fact that I have narcolepsy. A dream to me is more like a hallucination, seeming very real! Anyhow, I have a lot of spiritual dreams. Last night I had one about the second coming of Jesus. I was in a house. It was my Dad's old house in Mesquite, which is where I lived during high school. Only now it was mine and Leonard's home. We were just at home one day when something told me to quickly get out of the house. So we walked out into the front yard. First I noticed an animal or two in the field next to to the house. I thought nothing of it at first since it was just a couple of dogs. Then a couple of other animals, like a coyote and a cow walked into the field. All four animals took the same position. They put their heads to the ground with their rear in the air like they were bowing. It reminded me of the opening scene to the first Lion King movie. Within , the next few minutes a series of events took place. All animals that were around gathered into one place, all bowing down. Even the birds came to the ground. All of the trees began to move an if their was heavy wind, only it wasn't windy. The sun was shining brighter than I had ever seen, but the weather was nice. It wasn't really hot. Then I heard a series of trumpet calls. And then I looked up and saw Jesus appear in the sky accompanied by a heavenly host of angels. He was just there...walking around in the sky. Not floating or flying, but looked just as if he were walking on solid ground. There were tons of angels. I know angels don't have a gender, but in my dream there were some that appeared more masculine and some that were more feminine. Behind Jesus there was a line of masculine looking angels. They stood strong and tall like warriors and wore armor made from gold. Each one played a trumpet. Scattered through out the sky were more feminine looking angels. They looked like what you would see in a typical picture of an angel. They wore long flowing gowns and were floating in the air. Some of them played harps, and other had bells. I saw one or two angels with huge bells that were swinging in the air like a pendulum on a clock. Then there were some angels dancing and some singing. They all had gorgeous white feathered wings that were enormous when stretched out. A couple of angels were in front of Jesus on their knees with their wings wrapped around them covering their faces. I'd never seen anything so beautiful. The singing angels were singing a song they drew me in. Almost like being under a spell. It just captured my attention. Though I had never heard this song before I knew all of the words and began singing along. The angels were saying, "Sing! Sing! All rise and sing! Today is the day to praise the King! Lift up your hands, Lift up your voice! All God's people now rejoice! No other name than the name of Jesus. Emmanuel! Emmanuel! He died to save us! Jesus, Jesus! On Earth again! Jesus, Jesus, The Beginning and the End!" It was a beautiful song. When they sang "Lift up your hands" my hands shot to the sky uncontrollably. Then I found myself singing loudly and dancing. It was like the Spirit was moving in me and I had no control over my own body. The funny thing is I still remember the words to the song and the melody. I looked around and the animals were all calling out loudly. You would think it would just sound like a zoo gone wild, but it was a very harmonious sound. Two stunning angels came while my hands were lifted and slipped a white gown on to me. My clothes just disappeared off of my body once the gown was on me. Then two large white birds came and tied a shining gold rope around my waist. I felt like I was Cinderella at the beginning of the movie when her bird friends help her get dressed. It was all a little strange, but pleasant, and I was filled with joy like I had never felt before. The whole time all of this was happening Jesus had his eye on me. Watching me and smiling. After being clothed by the angels, Jesus looked down and said, "Come to me!" I started floating into the sky. I got to him and was speechless. I kind of just stood there not knowing what to do or say. I was in awe. I had the whole eyes wide open with my jaw dropped look going on. He took my hand a visions ran through my head. He showed me things that were happening everywhere. Things like the events I had been seeing were taking place everywhere. The animals gathering in groups and bowing and the trees dancing. It was happening all over the world. The mountains lowered themselves so that no mountain was higher than were Jesus stood in the sky. The rivers were flowing wildly. All the lakes looked like oceans with unusual waves. The oceans were crashing in a way that made a beautiful sound. Is was as if all of God's creations were praising Jesus. I wondered if I was the only person experiencing this. I looked around and saw no other people. It was so very personal. Like Jesus had come just for me. Then He took me to this place in the sky where we were joined by millions of other believers who had also been clothes in white robes with gold belts. Everyone had experienced the same thing at the same time, but each person having their own unique experience alone with Jesus. That's when I woke up. The alarm was going off. I rolled over and shook my hubby to turn the alarm off. I was like, "I need more sleep! I need to finish my dream!" Anyway, needless to say it was a great dream! Strange how I dream things like that in such great detail!
