I had this dream on 3/23:
I was in a large fancy building with a little girl. The little girl was trying to convince me to take a huge tattoo on my arm that I knew somehow was the mark of the beast. The tattoo was apparently seen as something you did to be a fan of a film. Seeing that I have a hard time directly saying no to little girls, instead I ran away from her so I wouldn’t have to take the mark. I ran downstairs and locked myself in a basement room, however somehow I had also locked myself in and couldn’t leave. On realizing that I couldn’t leave, the little girl became excited that she could administer the mark to other people without my preventing her or dissuading people, which she did while I was locked in.
Eventually I was let out, and found the girl had now decided to kill because I hadn’t taken the mark. She chased me down a fancy staircase and suddenly she transformed into a black dragon.
There was an intermediary scene where I was sitting by a campfire with some people trying to convince them not to take the mark. They told me that if it really was the mark, then a whole bunch of people would be opposed to it, because (they thought) everyone is always super worried about the mark and would have noticed it. Then a person who agreed with me said that there had been a similar event in the past – a tattoo you took as a fan of a film (I think the film was Frozen). The tattoo went across your chest all the way to your arms. He had thought this was the mark, therefore he had shown up at some event to dissuade people from taking the tattoo. He expected at least a few people to be there also helping dissuade people, but found that he was the only person there against the mark. Somehow I knew his message was not that he had been wrong in the past so I could be wrong too. Rather, he was saying that it was realistic that exceedingly few people would be against the mark of the beast because such was the case in the past.
But the girl who turned into a black dragon was still trying to kill me. She had a friend that snuck into my house to lie in wait to kill me – which was a town house in the city made completely of glass. Seeing the house directly touched buildings next to it, the friend had snuck into my house through the neighboring houses and was waiting for me. Before entering, somehow I knew what had happened (I still couldn’t actually see the friend though). This was very creepy to me, so I went to a phone booth and called for help (it looked like I was in London here).
Finally, I was in a grocery store with the black dragon, and I was leaping and bounding acrobatically to escape each attack of the dragon. I had the perception that I had super powers allowing me to escape, and I got out of the store to find a group of what appeared to be super heroes organized together waiting for me. They were there to help and took me into their camp to explain. The camp had rows of tents and looked like an army camp, and they took me to their leader. He told me that to save the world from the black dragon, they would need to depopulate the entire world. I imagined teleporting people off of earth, but then he told me the people would be restored to the memory of how they were before they left when they finally were returned to earth. So they weren’t being transported somewhere else, but were to be destroyed and then restored. He showed me a diagram depicting when different groups left; I had the impression that it would start with the oldest people and end with the youngest with many different stages in between, but then saw it was kind of disorganized and not that simple with some groups leaving not when expected.
Interpretation:
If you’ve read the book of revelations, you’ll know this dream represents how the beast will try to force people to take the mark of the beast. This dream gives some insight on how the beast will first be perceived: just as it was difficult to say no to the cute little girl, the beast system will be perceived as good – it will not be obvious that it even is the beast system; even when people realize there is something wrong with the mark, they will feel bad about going against it. We also see this when the person told me that he had opposed a precursor mark of the beast in the past by himself – opposing the beast system will be unpopular and few will dare be watchmen warning against it. This is reminiscent to Noah’s flood and the tower of babel, in which likewise nearly the entire world was deceived.
The glass house was harder to interpret: I believe the glass house represents what people claim to be the house of God, though it actually is constructed by man. To go on a tangent, my lifelong religion (Mormonism) is especially deceived by this: it builds temples in which it claims God dwells. However, they are being fooled – the temples are not of God, I have seen this in a dream (a few months ago) where basically I was in a temple and realized that somehow what I was seeing was an illusion – the temple was a trick and was different from what I thought it was. A church leader then pressured me to get people to go to the temple, and I knew that this was wrong. Back to the dream – in my view a glass house represents a temple, or the house of God. The fact it was squished into a city on a crowded street represents how this glass house takes the world stage – it is seen and popular among man. The entity that snuck into the glass house lying in wait for me represents how our world’s “temples” have been corrupted and are distorting true religion. I was to not enter the glass house because it is no longer safe inside these sanctuaries, instead I went to a phone booth to call for help, which represents prayer – the true route to getting to God in these days.
The group of superheroes initially made me think the dream was random, but now I interpret this group as being the 144,000, sent to save the world from the dragon. The camp we were in alluded to how the 144,000 will function as an organized army, and potentially could also refer to the new Jerusalem that will be established in the last days (though I haven’t dreamed about this). It is tempting to view the depopulation of the earth as the rapture, but they weren’t discussing removing just the believers, but rather everyone from earth – moreover, I got the impression the deaths wouldn’t happen all at once, but it would be a disorganized process, some dying at the very beginning, some in the middle, and some at the end.
It's also worth noting the symbolism of the movie “Frozen” being a precursor to the mark of the beast. Many movies introduce apostasy by including the concept of “good” witchcraft which opposes “bad” witchcraft. Of course this is false – all witchcraft is bad. But frozen takes it further – in its universe there actually isn’t even any type of “bad” magic – rather the magic is only misunderstood by people who are bigoted against magic. It is movies like this that draw people into practicing witchcraft on their own and departing from true religion, which teaches to pray and fast when we are in need of divine help (and to definitely not practice witchcraft). I’m not saying that “frozen” is the worst thing ever, it’s just a movie after all. I just think that it is one small puzzle peace to a larger belief system preparing people to accept the Anti-Christ.
"It’s just a movie after all."
After watching kids grow into adults, I see how they've been strongly influenced by movies. Kids talk amongst friends, find acceptance in knowing, compete over who knows more... and use it for "survival of the fittest."
I watched several become vegans, strongly advocate for people-groups, fight over global warming... after a springboard of movies. The topics aren't getting any safer.
There was a show I'd heard kids watched where protagonist ate others' brains to understand more...."It's okay bc..." at the same time adrenochrome was big in the news.
Adding to glass house...
Glass is transparent. Inside, you can see everything outside while being somewhat sheltered... but being all glass, and people can see you inside, makes you vulnerable.
It might relate to how you are seeing many things differently these days. And writing out observations here, you are transparent to whoever looks in.
Not sure if that fits your dream.
