Short Dream of the Apocalypse

Date: 2/24/2021

-The apocalypse had occured. The world as we knew it was no more. So many buildings and other man-made things were gone; sand covered so much of at least the land that I could see, that I could almost mistake myself for being in a desert. I was standing just outside a ruined church (2 1/2 walls were still standing; you cd see parts of the stained glass all about, and the huge cross, yellowish gold and bright & completely unharmed, still stood at the top); one of only 3 or 4 buildings as far as the eye could see. Jesus stood beside me as I bawled & explained to my mother (who was sitting beside me) that I felt too dirty to share His love w/ others the past however many years. His love for me shown through in His gentle smile. He still loved me, no matter what sins I had committed. -My mother, between my sobs, reminded me of something I had told her in a phone call. I told her that I was told somehow (I dont know how, by another person, in a vision or a dream perhaps, an anonymous phone call..it seems I was told mysteriously but Idk how I know this) that I had "12 days to get out of the north". They knew that I was a "traitor" (a believer in Christ) and on the 12th day they wd come after me and kill me. I obviously made it out of the north bc I was back in my hometown in the southern part of the U.S. -Shortly after that, I went riding off w/ a small group of other ppl, and we were each on a lion. I was going the wrong way though, I was going to the side of evil. I was frantically thinking, "No! This isnt right! I want to be good!" And Jesus spoke to me saying, "Your time on this road is almost over. Just a little longer and you'll be on the right road again." I knew there was a purpose to me being where I was and with Jesus' words, I was at peace about it (even though I was riding off to infiltrate the bad guys camp, more or less, lol).

AI generated interpretation This dream appears to be a powerful and symbolic representation of inner conflict and spiritual revelation. The apocalyptic setting signifies a significant transformation or end of a familiar way of life. The destruction of man-made structures and the desert landscape can represent a sense of desolation and loss. The remaining church and presence of Jesus suggest a spiritual theme, with the church symbolizing faith and the cross representing redemption and salvation. Your emotional reaction in the dream, particularly your feelings of guilt and unworthiness in the presence of Jesus, may point to feelings of inadequacy or self-judgment in your waking life. The concept of feeling "dirty" and unable to share love may reflect deep-seated beliefs about your own worthiness or past actions. However, the unconditional love and acceptance shown by Jesus serve as a reminder that forgiveness and grace are always available, regardless of perceived faults or shortcomings. The warning about the 12-day deadline and the need to leave the north, where you are labeled a "traitor," could symbolize a fear of persecution or rejection for your beliefs or values. The shift to the southern U.S., your hometown and a more familiar environment, may represent a return to a sense of safety, comfort, and belonging after facing adversity or persecution elsewhere. The imagery of riding on lions with a group may signify a sense of power, courage, or leadership. However, going in the wrong direction towards evil suggests a struggle between conflicting impulses or intentions. Jesus' reassurance that your time on the wrong road is temporary and that you will soon find your way back to the right path implies a message of guidance, hope, and eventual redemption. Overall, this dream appears to reflect a journey of self-reflection, repentance, forgiveness, and ultimately, a reaffirmation of faith and purpose. It may be addressing deep-seated fears, doubts, or conflicts within yourself and offering a message of resilience, growth, and spiritual renewal. Consider exploring these themes further in your waking life to gain deeper insights and understanding.
