I don't know if this was a dream from the Lord for me, or if it was for my friend, but Melia's daughters dream/vision had something similar to mine about Jesus coming from the east the clouds orange and gold.
The context of what was going on in my life was that a close friend had invited our children to come to a seminar called "mighty Young Warriors" where children get caught up in the spirit and have visions of hell and then get transported to heaven.  I didn't know anything about the seminar, it was run by the David and Kathie Walter's, so I tried to find out more.  The sense I had in my spirit was immediately "don't go", at the time I didn't have any real concrete reasons for not going other than I thought it silly to go seeking after this sort of thing and especially becuase the conference was aimed at children I wanted to be sure it was o.k.  I think anything like that from the Lord is totally his soveriegn doing in his sovereign way in His sovereign timing, if that is His will for a person.  I felt that being shown how to see all these dreams in a seminar context, could possibly be counterfiet, like astral travel.  I still am not sure, but that is what I thought at the time, and this is what I interpreted the dream to be and I told my friend what I thought it meant, and the concern I had about not taking the children.  I don't mean to pick on these people, it is just I felt not to go, o.k.?  I shared this dream with my friend, but she didn't believe that what she was taking her kids to what counterfiet, and so dismissed my dream and took her kids along anyway and they did have visions of hell and heaven (We are talking kids inder 10).  My friend is into a ecumenical healing ministry led by a charasmatic catholic, just so that gives you a bit of context surrounding my cautiousness of her invitation, she is pentecostal, and I am spirit filled, so I am not discounting every supernatural thing.
 
 
I have had a really vivid OOB vision/experience (i'm not sure what) a number of years ago and was escorted in the spirit by an angel or the Lord and was healed from a major anxiety of death and leaving my children without me, so I know it can happen, but it is not something that has happened since. It is not something I seek after and try to get into, although I can tell you it was a wonderful experience that changed my entire circumstances.  If the Lord chose to do something like that again I would be open, but again, only if He does it out of the blue.
 
I had this dream between 4 and 5 am this was in April 2005, when I awoke I was really disturbed, it was so vivid yet so surreal, but seemed so real.  I wondered if perhaps I had been getting too obsesssed with the return of Messiah, this might be totally just my own muddled mental processes, so I'm only sending it here and if anyone can help me understand it it would be helpful. Just so I can understand if it was totally human, or if it does have further significance. We have been studying astronomy this year, and with prophbuff's celestial signs post from last year it might have got askew in my mind.  I do not usually have such vivid dreams like this sort, usually of more mundane family variety. Lately I have been having more dreams about saving the lost and wake up praying for certain people who I dream about witnessing to.  This dream that I submit to you might be nothing, it may have been just for me  just for my friend, or totally just a strange dream.  It is set in a place i have not been before, only similar to a place we drive through on the way to my mother in law's house.  We live in the mountains and not by the sea.
 
The Dream:
 
My 7 yold daughter and I were going for an evening walk just after sunset, it was warm and so I think it was a summer evening.  We were walking down towards a calm bay along a road that separated two headlands.  As we were walking we were looking up at the sky and stars and noticed how large and bright Jupiter was, became "pixelised" and digistised, if you understand what I mean.  The stars took on a somewhat distorted view , and were not so clear, like looking through a clear noncoloured kaleidescope.  In the east the sky got brighter and clearer and and beautiful glorious clouds lit up gold, orange and  sliver and then i noticed a host of thousands upon thousands of angelic white wings, then I noticed they were actually angels.  Everyone stopped where they were and looked and they all crowded around us.  As we were watching the host of angels got closer until it filled the sky infront of us, filling up the whole bay area.  Someone from behind me on my left called out "It's Jesus", and other person  beside me  to my right called out "Jesus is coming".  The excitment was captivating i was getting swept up in it too.  This Jesus came into view he was at the centre of the host of angels at the lowest point of the host with golden/silver clouds about his feet, but he did not appear as I thought Jesus would (You know hair white as wool, white robes golden sash etc) but he looked more like a "greenie" wearing alternative clothes and a sort of green/olive cheesecloth loose turban type cloth around his head, he had an olive complexion, but he was caucasian.  I was swept up in excitment like everyone else.  His hands were outstretched he we floating closer towards me above the bay.  I was excited, the crowd was excited.  Finally he was right before me, but still not touching the ground, I reached out to touch his hand, instantly I knew he was not Jesus and I quickly drew back my hand and pulled my daughter away from him, and I awoke.
 
 
Obviously I know the scriptures If somebody say "Here is the Christ, do not believe them", but I was horrified that even I could be deceived even if it was just for a moment and I repented of my own spiritual pride and blindness.  I don't remember any sounds other than the lapping of the water on the shore and a wooshing sound in the sky. I shared it with a couple of other people including my parents who pastor our church and they didn't have any idea either, and I thought perhaps it was Maitreya?
