Now a great sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet, and on her head a garland of twelve stars. 2 Then being with child, she cried out in labor and in pain to give birth.
3 And another sign appeared in heaven: behold, a great, fiery red dragon having seven heads and ten horns, and seven diadems on his heads. 4 His tail drew a third of the stars of heaven and threw them to the earth. And the dragon stood before the woman who was ready to give birth, to devour her Child as soon as it was born. 5 She bore a male Child who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron. And her Child was caught up to God and His throne. 6 Then the woman fled into the wilderness, where she has a place prepared by God, that they should feed her there one thousand two hundred and sixty days.
The point of my post is this: the following day, on September 24, 2017, I napped for a couple hours in the afternoon, and had a dream sequence I wish to share that pertains to the above. The below is from what I wrote in my journal that day:
I woke up feeling quite sad. I'll have to punt on the exact details of the earlier dreams in the sequence, but I remember there was some kind of event -- perhaps a large outdoor gathering -- one that also required some shepherding/chaperoning, not unlike when I'm performing for my main job as a pianist at the senior care centers I go to).
The part of the dream that is significant is what came afterward. The gathering which seemed to have lasted most of the day, had moved to a field, and it was now late-afternoon. The last couple hours before sundown, for sure. I'll first record the things that happened, to the best of my memory a full five hours after I woke up.
I first participated in a rock-throwing contest. One other person threw a rock that went up into the east sky, opposite from where the sun was, and where possibly the moon was. This rock that he threw went up, up, and out until it appeared to turn to the right and cross right in front of the moon. The rock still never came down. It kept going to the right. I then attempted to throw my rock. I think I decided to throw it westward, in the direction of the sun. It went up and went back down and hit the ground. I was disappointed of course, but it was close to how far I can throw in reality.
After this, my dream went to the next sequence, but before it did I saw a sign with writing that said something along the lines of: "next scene red scene."
In the next scene the sunlight was in fact not red, but I know that we were later in the afternoon than previously. But the remainder of the gathering of people I was with had moved away from the more-open part of the field to kind of a corner of the field, near some building and some trees with red leaves. (So the scene was slightly red but not red like I was expecting.) In this scene we were all to take stock of our lives with some random equipment provided, either by whoever was hosting this day-long event, or by whoever owned the park. So I stumbled across a very strange sort-of puzzle of the United States. It seemed each "piece" had a few of the states on them, but they were all out of order.
Bottom line, as I went through the United States I put a check next to each state I had been to, and an X next to each state I had not been to. Then I woke up. I was very sad.
What I gathered from this dream:
1.) A sense of not having much time left
2.) take stock of what I've done and what I haven't done (hence the US map/puzzle)
3.) there was to be more to the dream but then I woke up
Wow!!!
