I had this dream a few nights ago, but even now, it seems so real, that I can still remember all the details. I dreamt that I was at my own house, at night, outside in our big 1/2 acre front yard. Just laying in the grass, looking up at the heavens. I saw what I recognized in my dream as the “opening to heaven”. It was a circle of white light, but very small. All around me, I felt stars falling, it felt like little bubbles touching me, all over. Tingling and shining. I could see them, but when I would reach out to touch them myself, they would fade away. I could hear sounds of people, babies, talking, crying faintly. I could see visions of people/animals who were dying/or going up into heaven. Specifically I saw horses, and elderly people, and dogs. I couldn’t join them or follow them for very long with my sight as they appeared and faded away. I got the feeling it was because I myself had not been saved. I remember being very sad I was not included, just watching the souls go up to the opening in heaven. I had very powerful feelings of sadness. Even upon waking I felt completely emotional, as if it had really happenend.

This dream just scared me so much, I felt compelled to take some sort of action. The very next morning, I immediately opened my Kings James version of the Bible in my bookshelf, and looked up “stars” in the index. I found references to falling stars in Mark 13:25 “And the stars of heaven shall fall, and the powers that are in heaven shall be shaken”, and the Bible talks about the only way into heaven was through Jesus Christ himself. It was so astonishing that I dreamt of stars, and when I looked it up in the Bible, that it referred to exactly the context of my dream, it really scared me.

Now here is the really scary part for me. I know nothing of the Bible.

I was raised by parents were agnostics and atheists. I never opened a Bible to read until I was well into my 30’s. I have only recently began going to church, with my husband and children. There was no way I could have subconsciously associated going to heaven with stars, yet in my dream it was the immediate message. I have never heard this spoken, or talked about, or even seen anything that would create this image in my dreams. It just floored me.

Yesterday, I visited with a woman from a local mission who read with me the prayer I repeated out loud to ask Jesus to save me. In her words, the woman who spoke with me, told me that I needed to be saved before Christ came to earth again. She said that I was now saved, and I felt overwhelmed with emotion, and a sense of at last I was taking the action that was the purpose of my dream.

I am still chilled by the coincidence/message. But I have a very calm sense right now. I feel a tremendous peace.
