Had a short dream last night. I saw a big metal tub with children inside covered with leaves. They had their hands high in the air as if to say "Hey, we're here under the leaves." I looked to the right and saw another pile of leaves with children under but not in a tub. They had their hands in the air also. Then I woke up. It sort of reminded me of the pictures you see of people in Hellfire with their hands in the air, screaming to get out and demons around them. But in the dream, all I saw was the hands in the air, couldn't really see faces or anything but just knew they were children. I'm not sure if this has anything to do with the other dream I had about being buried under train rubble but it's just the idea of being under something and not being able to get out. Any interpretation will be helpful. Thank you. I have always had very colorful and vivid dreams, starting when I was in high school. I am now in my 60s. But now all my dreams seem to be so dark and gloomy, greyish. I've had dreams about the rapture, of demons after me, flying, always flying and something trying to grab my feet, even of Jesus and Satan himself! All I had to do was call on Jesus and I was saved from the demons and then wasn't afraid. In one dream, I was surrounded by demonic beings, called on Jesus and turned into superwoman and took them all on. How cool is that. Back in high school days, I had sleep paralysis, very scary. There was always so much demonic activity around growing up. Around the same time, I had an out of body experience where I saw myself lying in bed and I could see my body covered in veins and muscle, like I was seeing right through my skin, very weird. But I also knew someone was with me protecting me from any harm and I wasn't afraid. I told my friend the next day on the way to school and she said I overcame death. Well, I don't know about that but something sure happened. I guess I can end this now so thank you for reading and sharing your thoughts. God bless.

Lena, I have been thinking and praying more about your dream and the possible meaning of the metal tub, and what came to mind was a submarine. For, a submarine is a big metal tub that people are inside of. But, here is the thing about this. "Marine" means " of, found in, or produced by the sea" (Google). It is of the water, produced by the water, which in the Bible water represents the Holy Spirit, eternal life with God, and it also represents the waters of baptism which symbolize us dying with Christ to sin, being buried with him in death to sin, and then being resurrected with him to eternal life.
Yet, "sub" also means "substitute," so this large metal tub these people are inside of while they are still covered with leaves, i.e. covering up their sins with lies, is a substitute for the water, a "sub" "marine." It is a substitute for the Holy Spirit and for death to sin and living to God and for true eternal life with God. And, another thing about this is that the people, while they are inside this huge metal tub, are protected from the water, for the metal tub (the submarine) keeps them from the water touching their lives.
So, what I believe God is showing you (in the west) are people who are still bound in their sins, covering their sins with lies, and their deeds making proclamation of the fact that they are still in bondage to sin, but who are being protected from themselves being immersed in the water by this "substitute" cheap grace gospel which makes no demands to death to sin or living to righteousness, but that "leaves" people still dead in their sins feeling as though they can make sin their practice and still have eternal life with God.
And, it isn't like that in the east (to the right) where they are not inside this metal tub. They are not trusting in a false grace gospel which "leaves" them still bound in their sin, and so there is no hindrance to them blocking them from true faith in Jesus Christ other than their own wills, if they should choose to refuse Jesus.
I hope this helps. It fits with my understanding of the rest of your dream, too. But, again, God has the final word on this, not me. God bless you! Sue
