Readers -
Today is June 5, 2012.
I had another very long and complicated dream, which appears to be from God. It was in three parts, but I am only going to post two of the parts right now, and not all of the details of that even. Some of which I'm still mulling over.
I got up at 2:23 am, and wrote it all down quickly.
Here is a small amount of background the reader should know first though.
In 2002, two brothers were killed in a terrible car accident in our community. Both the parents and the boys were good friends of ours. All Christians. The boys were really good friends of my kids. It was devastating to all concerned, even the community. I still go to their graves every year.
The Dream:
The second part of the dream started and I was in an area, not unlike the area I found myself in in the Dream of the Atrium. It was a large open space, carpeted, with dark gray carpet and walls. depressing actually. In the middle of the area, though, was a rectangular room that had glass walls. It was really like an oasis in that it was full of a wide variety of green plants growing, like in a terrarium, only full size. Inside this room (that had no ceiling on it) were also lounge chairs that people could sit in and talk. In fact, there were people that were conversing in there. Amidst all this greenery, I noticed one plant that stood out, with a silver leaf. It is actually called "Dusty Miller". Quite beautiful. (I wrote down "Foxglove" in my notes, but it wasn't). I was in this "room" for a short amount of time, just long enough to get my bearings, when I noticed a man, outside the "room" in the gray area, reclining in a brown chair. Suddenly, as has happened many times in these dreams, I "understood" something; namely this - this man, who was a stranger to me, was going to go to Heaven and come back and bring with him one of the two brothers that had died as children in the car accident. I didn't know which boy it was going to be, but I was confident this would happen, and soon.
The third part of the dream occurred in a residence, an older home like a turn of the century home, full of antiques and gorgeous woodwork. I immediately found myself in this house, standing at the bottom of a wooden staircase that went up and to the right in front of me. There were about two steps, a small landing, and then the stairs turned at a 90 degree angle and went up to the right. The stairwell area, floors and bannister were all made out of some beautiful dark wood, maybe cherry. There were stain glass windows in the walls of the stairwell.
Coming down the stairs were several children of different ages, but all seemed less than ten years old. The first child was a boy. It was one of the brothers that had died in the accident, and I was overjoyed to see him, and called his name! He was probably the age that he was the last time I saw him, which was several years before the accident. He was the youngest brother. I knelt down on the floor at the bottom of the stairs and we hugged. He had a body just like a normal kid has, and in the dream, I felt his body against mine as we hugged. We recognized each other immediately. He was dressed nicely with a white polo shirt on, looked healthy and tan. He had a sweet smile, hugged me quickly, and then went off to the right as if he had something to do! I stood up and looked to my left and standing there was a very tall man, Caucasian, with brown hair, white shirt and a pleasant face. About 30-35 years old. It was the man who was in the chair in the other place! I told him, "I thought you were going to go and bring one of the brothers back, but I didn't know which one!" He replied, "really!"
My attention then went back to the activity on the staircase. There was a woman about six steps up on the staircase taking with someone on the small landing. They were talking and there were several kids in front of her coming down. All the kids were dressed nicely. Then, again, I "understood" what was happening. This woman had ALSO been to Heaven and come back with all these kids! Like the brother who died, who had come back with his own "companion" (the tall man), all these children had ALSO died as kids and had come back to earth accompanied by this woman. She was a Caucasian, short, brown hair, with a very pleasant face, like the tall man. She had a light jacket draped over her left arm, and a purse on her shoulder. I felt that both of these people were human (in the body), not angels.
I overheard the short conversation that the woman who had paused on the stairs was having with the other person (female) on the landing. The other person asked the woman:
"Did you see my mother?"
"Yes, I did!" she enthusiastically replied.
"Are her fingernails better?"
"Yes! They're healing up nicely!"
... and with this last statement the woman on the stairs, behind the kids, made a gesture with her right hand, and looked at her own nails while speaking.
Before I woke up, I "understood" something else. This was very clear. The OTHER brother who had died in the car accident was ALSO slated to come back, and had already been "assigned" a companion to go get him at some point, and then return with him.
I was that companion!
Hard as it is to believe, I was the one assigned to go up to Heaven and return with him.
There were a few other details, that I won't mention in this post, but I then woke up in almost a state of shock at what I had seen and heard. I reviewed the dream details in my mind with my mouth wide open in awe, and then got up and wrote them down.
********
Here are my observations and some notes about the spiritual "sense" of the dream.
1) The stairs lead up to heaven. It was clear that the woman on the stairs, standing behind the kids, was coming down from there, as were all the kids. Up and to the right was Heaven. The tall man had come down first, then the brother, then the other kids (girls and boys), then the woman.
2) The whole event was very very relaxed and had a very everyday feeling about it. It was clear to me in the dream that was was happening was NORMAL, and that it was happening elsewhere on the earth! This was a NORMAL occurrence, not a phenom. The woman was dressed like someone who would step out for a quick errand on an afternoon. Also, I thought the tall man, who I saw earlier in the dream, would only be gone a short while. I thought he'd be back the same day. That was my sense about it, that it all happened in a very short amount of time.
3) The conversation between the two adults about the "mother" (or possibly Aunt?) was so very everyday. It was like Heaven was a place of easy access, at least to this group. The "mother" who was asked about, was in heaven, had had a health problem that was serious, involving her fingernails (while on earth), and that she was healed or healing (in Heaven). This was obviously a concern to the woman who asked. So, even in that sense, there was communication back and forth. News traveled back and forth between the people on earth and the people in Heaven. It was like, no big deal. It was fine, a part of everyday life.
4) All the kids had what appeared to be normal human bodies, wearing normal human clothes. They seemed to be all around eight years old. They were all happy and very normal, talking like kids talk, and anxious to do kid things like normal kids do. It's possible that they came back the ages they were when they had died and gone up to Jesus. this was not the case with the brother I knew, I don't believe.
5) It's possible that this is what life in the Millennial Reign of the Lord Jesus will be like. It's also reasonable to think that these kids might return to earth accompanied by someone they knew in life before. For what purpose, I have no idea (today).
If this email is posted on June 6, 2012, then it will be 10 years to the day that the car accident happened, and the boys went up to Jesus.
This did not occur to me until much later today. So, I was not predisposed to thinking about the boys at all.

and scroll down to the White Rooms Dream, then you will read about another amazing dream the Lord gave me, that also involved children. The date of the dream is incorrect on that post, though. it occurred March 23, 2010.
Jesus is Lord.
