Hi Maureen,
 
In reply to your 12/08 post at http://www.fivedoves.com/letters/dec2004/maureent128.htm I think that the person having the dream believes that the Eucharist became the actual flesh and blood of Jesus Christ, and in the dream she marked the forehead of other Catholics with this blood.  However, we know from reading Luke 22:19-20, Jesus said to do this in remembrance of him, and the bread and wine of the Eucharist are not his actual body and blood.
 
You will also note that the man that refused to be marked with the blood on the forehead ending up dying after the woman said to him "Then surely before this day is over, you will die." This dream left me wondering if being marked on the forehead with the alleged blood of Jesus from the Roman Catholic Eucharist in this dream and the man in this dream not wanting to be marked who ends up dying for not taking the mark of the blood would have anything to do with a Christian becoming a martyr who does not want to receive the mark of the beast in the forehead, and would the dream signify that the Roman Catholic Church is the one to help implement the mark since the Eucharist is not the actual blood of Jesus and in the dream it was. That is what I thought when I read the dream.
 
Someone also sent me an article from  http://www.madredelleucaristia.it/eng/jan15.htm and the article shows a Eucharist host (wafer) stuck to the bleeding forehead head of a woman, and we are told in the article that the blood of Jesus also came out of the host which cannot be true since the Eucharist host (bread) is not the actual body of Jesus Christ, and we Christians are to eat it in remembrance of Jesus' death and pure sacrifice on the cross for our sins.
 
We are also told in this article called The Church During The Dark Ages-- Part I at http://home.att.net/~jackthompson/page177.htm that the Lord's Supper during this time was changed from a memorial to a sacrifice by the Roman Catholic Church, and according to this article called The Church During the Dark Ages -- Part II at http://home.att.net/~jackthompson/page178.htm at the Council of Trent (1215 A.D.) Pope Innocent III assembled 412 bishops. Among other cannons drawn up, the doctrineof transubstantiation was given a legal position in the Catholic Church. The council declared, "If any one shall deny that in the sacrament of the most holy eucharist, there is contained really, truly, and substantially, the body and the blood together with the soul and divinity, of our Lord Jesus Christ, and so whole Christ, but shall say he is only in it in sign, or figure, or power, let him be accursed." So as you can see, the Eucharist bread and wine is a symbol of Jesus' body and blood; and Jesus told us to take it in remembrance of him.

God bless,
Donna
