REOCCURING BAD DREAMS

Can you recall a bad dream or nightmare you have dreamed over and over again....In my young life, about 6 or 7 years old. I began having a dream. It woke me up shaking and disturbed. I had this dream over and over again. I remember it because it made such an impact on me...looking back it was more of a warning than anything else. I would not have been able to understand this dream being so young. But, now I can understand the reasons behind it!!!...I can share this dream with you now however, I will not reveal the reasons behind it until later on in my blog world...The dream started the day of a wedding. The wedding was mine! Being only 6 or 7 years old it seemed to be a weird dream for a young girl...Anyway, dressed in a sparkling, white, shimmering wedding gown. I was all grown up and had a wonderful man waiting at the altar for me. He was the man I loved and was going to be the man I would spend my life with. The veil sparkling with sequins and shiny lace covered my face. In my dream, I looked like a princess. It was a wonderful day, a day I waited for and was so happy...As I walked toward my waiting husband the music played. The other people in the wedding party had already gone down the aisle. The flower girl dropped red rose petals on the aisle and the music, played louder and louder. Everyone turned to watch me in my beautiful dress come down the aisle toward my waiting wedding party....As I came down slowly, stepping with the music playing, I noticed out of the side of my eye, a person dressed all in black. A mean face with a witch like look. Now, half way down the aisle this person jumped out and grabbed me. She laughed a horrid laugh and dragged me out of the back of the church. Through the door! Everyone just stood and watched!!..I screamed, and screamed again and again..HELP ME!! NO, NO, NO, SOMEBODY HELP ME....She was dragging me away from my most happy day, my wedding day!!...As I screamed and squirmed to try to get away, My screams made it through my bedroom and into the quiet night air. Twisting and turning and screaming HELP ME...HELP ME!! My mother came in and said, "Lois, what is wrong?" "You are having a bad dream.." I was sweating, crying, and so afraid that it was true...but after waking, I found it was just that a bad dream...Rolling over and going back to sleep..the nightmare was over. FOR TONIGHT!! However, this dream would play over and over in the stillness of many nights ahead!!..There are only about three dreams, total, I can recall ..and I can still remember. Dreams.. that are burned into your minds eye to remember the rest of your life!!.........We all can recall such dreams...But, this dream was different, this dream was a warning. A warning, I didn't heed!!! Looking back, had I been able to understand this dream and heed it's warning, my life would have taken on a different turn..But, this life is the life I chose. Choices in life are the things that determine our future!!!...Good and Bad, but God is still on the throne and hears and answers prayer. When the choices we choose have proven to be disasterous!! When we could have depended on God to lead us in our choices and prayed for His guidance in everything we do!! Today as well as into tomorrow. We would know, without a shadow of a doubt..We are in God's will for our life and if we just step back and depend on Him to help us make the right choices...Life would have NO REGRETS!!
