Christina's POV
Therefore, in our household, we make it a point to pay attention to our dreams.
People have a persistent tendency to attribute meaning or significance to their nighttime terrors and dreams. Which of these is correct.
The meanings or interpretations of one person's dream may vary greatly from person to person, and only a select few individuals are capable of understanding the significance of a particular dream.
Only a select few people, including my family and I, are able to comprehend what it means to have a dream. We have always believed that our dreams gave us insight into what the future could hold for us or what was going on in our spiritual life at the time. If we wished to prevent the awful things that were shown in our dreams from really occurring, we would pray against them or rebuke them in the name of God, and it would work!
This is something that I learned from my parents.
A few days ago, I had a dream, but I didn't pay attention to it or tell it to stop. It wasn't until I realized that my mother was no longer my spiritual home that I was reminded of the dream I had, which made me realize that I had already known about it. If I had just told it to stop, mother would still be my spiritual home. I needed her to lead me, to be my spiritual home. I needed her, and I got my strength from her. How was I going to get through life without her? If I'm not very spiritually strong, won't I be attacked mentally and maybe even die?
But maybe she did this on purpose. Maybe she no longer wanted to be my spiritual home. Why are you doing this to me? Wasn't I her daughter? The only girl she ever had? Didn't she know about all the risks I was likely to face? I was only 9 at the time. Too young to be left on their own. I thought about a lot of things and wondered where my life would take me. Maybe my mother didn't want to be my spiritual home anymore because my little brother was only a year old, but that wasn't a good enough reason. I wish I had the courage to ask her what went wrong, what I did wrong to deserve this. Then all of my many questions would be answered.
I had that dream again that night....
