Ten years ago, on the night before Easter Sunday 2002, I had a seemingly silly dream which came true the very next day. I have included a description of this dream on my website for some time now (http://cottingham.us). Until yesterday afternoon, when I received a "word of wisdom" from the Lord, I had no clue of the significance or purpose of the dream or the actual event.

In my dream, the seating in our church worship area was rearranged to be in the "round", and the pastor was playing a tuba! On the way to church that Sunday morning, I told my wife all about this "crazy" dream . When we arrived, "Lo and Behold!" the church was rearranged with the altar in the middle and the seats surrounding it. And Pastor David Vallelunga was outside rehearsing on a tuba! We had heard him play a flute and an accordion in church before, but had no idea that he could play or owned a tuba.

Yesterday afternoon, the message I received was "On the Day of Resurrection, who was playing a tuba? Vallelunga! (Day of Resurrection: Tu B'Av! Alleluia!)".

Also, for the first five days of Av, I was awakened at exactly 5:55 am. (On three of these days, I overslept past my normal alarm time of 5:20 am!)  5+5+5= 15th of Av
