Devil

Date: 4/16/2018

This wasn’t a recent dream. It happened over 6 years ago. It was more of a nightmare. A very vivid nightmare that I will never forget. Please keep in mind that although I was born and raised Catholic, I am NOT practicing. It started out with 4 people being able to go to heaven just to experience what it was like. I was of course was one of those 4 people (i did not know who the other 3 were). In heaven, I saw so many people dressed in white but there was a particular article of clothing that stood out in a different colour to represent who that person was (something they’d frequently wear when they were alive). There was a guy wearing a blue hat and a girl wearing a pink scarf, etc. I was not allowed to see their faces. They were blurred. Everyone up there seemed to be having such a great time. Being there just felt so calm. Like nothing could go wrong anymore. Anyway, fast forward a little and I end up in this hot, dark place with glows of red in the background. I remember being so confused, feeling disoriented because I thought I was supposed to be in heaven. I was sweating profusely and I realized must have fallen into Hell. Looking around, I could see my entire family just staring at me with blank cold faces. No emotion. Watching me with this emptiness in their eyes- like I was nothing. I see a bald, drastically pale man with a white suit approach me. He said, “i dont believe introductions are needed. I think you know exactly who I am.” He was holding a cane in both hands in front of him and said to me “now that you’ve gotten a taste of heaven, you can experience what it’s like down here with me and your family and your friends.” He asked me to pick and choose where I would rather go. “In Heaven where I will know no one, or join him and my family/friends in Hell where I can spend the rest of eternity with them.” I remember feeling trapped in this nightmare. I didn’t know what I wanted. I didnt want to go somewhere where none of my friends and family would be. But at the same time, i didnt want to be in the mercy of this evil man. Looking behind him, I saw my family and friends with tears running down their faces, silently shaking their heads at me to not choose to be with them. It was their message to me that no matter what, i should always choose the good. So i did. I said to him, “i love my family and friends very much but i will not be tricked by your wicked mind into making me believe that they will all be here waiting for me. And even if they were here, they wouldn’t want the same fate for me.” He had this crazed demonic look on his face before he said, “this isn’t over.” And i woke up.
