Oh Cosmodreamer I had absolutely no motivation at first because I was not busy with things like this at the time. It wasn't cool at all, and I didn't even know there were books dealing with the subject. So when a woman I had never seen before in my life until then#, gave me a New Testament with the message: "you should write down your dreams because wise people want to send you messages" I couldn't do anything with it but I did take it as an announcement. A few months later it seemed to me a good idea to start writing down my dreams (So in retrospect that announcement was my motivation) .... And how I got to that woman, although it is important for the complete story, I leave that for another time.
But, Cosmodreamer, what a coincidence! A few days ago I already lifted a corner of the veil in my answer to the dream "In my dream I saw my body, and a mysterious person reading a book" published by Euriks under The General Dream Discussion. Read that before you continue!
But there is still a small story that took place before the event I described in my answer, my commentary on Eurik's dream.
As I already announced, it will be 40 years ago since the event I described there took place on the night of Saturday on Sunday December 22, 1985. But 3 days earlier, on the night from Wednesday to Thursday, I had also experienced two separate 'dreams', which in hindsight was a preparation for what was to come:
1. A very scary out of the body experience;
at a certain moment during my sleep I became aware that I layed with full (day) consciousness in a chest, a coffin!!!¿. That is to say with the same consciousness with which I now write this down and whitin I am experiencing it again somehow, and where I, lets say, I look just 10 cm above my eyes upon the wood of the lid of that chest !!! The panic thought occurred to me: "they have buried me alive !!!!!" and at the same time I was wide awake in bed with a racing heart! I was 23 years old and had no idea what this meant, but of course I rejected the idea that it heralded my coming death. I think it was around 3 a.m., but because I was very tired from the work I had done in preparation for a move that would take place next Saturday, I fell asleep pretty quickly and about two hours later, so around five o'clock, I had a dream.
2. I had adream where my youngest brother stood in front of me and asked me the meaning of something. It is a bit difficult to describe, but in that dream I made a certain movement with my head that you can best imagine by keeping in mind a mother pigeon with her cub in front of her which she is feeding ,... just that movement while that baby pigeon is being fed! And with that reciprocating movement my head going somewhat up and down I ended up, looking into my belly and saw a stone there, like a book and I 'read what was on it, and then came out with the same movement and answered my brother what the meaning was. I have never forgotten that short dream, that image. And over the years I always had to think about it. But only about ten years ago when I was already an experienced dream interpreter, God brought me, in flashback thought, back to that short dream for the umpteenth time and made me intuitively connect with other events around the time of seeing that monster, that devil, described in the commentary on Eurik's dream: and eureka, I "saw" that it expresses what I'm doing now:
You my brothers, the dreamers present me with a dream and I process the data in my inner self (I look in, via 'The Book', The Stone They Rejected in my belly) and then come back to you my brothers with an answer! My younger brother, who unfortunately died 3 years ago, functioned in the dream merely as a symbol for all my brothers!
And, ... concerning (the movement of) the Dove? What does that refer to? That has only been revealed to me in the past 10 years. That is, I only saw that connection in the past 10 years:
In my account, my comment to Euriks, I promised to come back later to an event that I had also experienced shortly after what I experienced (afterwards) as my rebirth:
Shortly after that confrontation with That Devil that I went after after screaming Jesus, I had a very short dream, more like a night vision:
I saw, I experienced a white pigeon landing on my head, only that! ... and a moment later I was wide awake in bed. Impressive but back then I didn't know what it meant. As I said, in my unconscious quest for The Truth (one of the names, titles of The Creator, Our Father), after reading Mathew, Mark, Luke, I ended up with John
, and to my great surprise I read for the first time that, when John had baptized Jesus, a white dove landed on his head! Just like I had experienced though I read it there in John for the first time. But still the true meaning had not yet dawned on me. I only realized that the 10 years ago when My Soul / The Lord brought me back to all those events from around December 1985. And I at last 'saw" it, eureka: God made me realize that I was born again when I called Him by His Name in my death! At that moment The Real Human Soul, The Real Man in me, The Child of God, as described in Genesis, made in His image and likeness, has returned to me. He made it cleat that the holy spirit, Symbolized by a wihite dove, landed on my head. Yes at that time, the moment I called His name and Not when I had that vision of the dove (symbol of the holy spirit / The Spirit of God) that landed on my head. The result was that I was launched from the victim of the Devil by the Lord as a fighter chasing him!
Long story eh, but it had to be so because everthing discribed is interconnected to each other. This is my answer to your question in a nutshell. There are still a few things to add; but that may be for the next time.
