What I surmised about the dream:
I was alone and trusted a group of people I did not know.
I assumed that they were Christians.
I did not know what was in their hearts and minds.
I was not mentally prepared to face death.
I thought and prayed about this dream after I suddenly woke up.
My main prayer is to have the Lord’s wisdom and not follow my ideas or feelings about a situation.
I thought about how it might have ended and what I could have done better…
The dream:
I was in a neighborhood and met a person who invited me into their house. I knew that more of the people had come in a van and were attending a meeting in a different house or building very close by.
There was a young girl, maybe 8, a man who was in his 20s and a lady, a bit older. I began to explain to them that I knew about another person who had been stabbed in the head in a similar situation.
The man smothered my face with a pillow. He had put a sleeping or a drowsy agent on the pillow and I was laying on their couch for a while.
I kept trying to wake up and I would ask the Lord for help out loud. Finally, I was able to stand. The little girl was very persistent in trying to get me to stay there. I finally pushed her outside and told her to stay there until this was over.
I felt bad for her, but she was trying to detain me.
Then the man walked up to me and the woman. They were simply not wanting me to pass them and get out of the door.
The entire time, I knew that when the meeting was over, the rest of the people would come to this house and they would kill me.
I woke up pondering this, a bit frightened.
I know that people who say that they are Christians in the end will turn us in for many reasons.The main one is that they do not have love in their hearts and are unregenerated in the Lord.
I confess to the Lord if I ever have a negative thought that is unwarranted toward someone. We can all be tempted by negative thoughts and emotions. We need to love others with the love God gives to us!!
I realize, soon, we need to stay away from people we do not know and not to trust them.
This reminds me of the neighborhood networking groups that we get letters from.
And also nonprofits that send data about people into networks for response teams and various other purposes appearing beneficial.
Thinking maybe the girl might reflect school connections with families. Appearing to be necessary, or trying to connect families to keep them involved; but info also getting sent elsewhere.
(WWII regime boosted loyalty with kids, so they could later turn in their parents. Tactic also used by militant groups.)
The head is decision-making center, rationale. People trying to take away that ability.
(Coincidentally, talk show on popular meds said one type worked mostly in the brain, dulled reward system...that societal pressure to take it, might lead masses to have no ambition, lose interest in life. -not professional advice-)
