Strange Dreams...

So, I've been dreaming a lot lately. Strange dreams full of weird things.

Latest dream has me laying next to the road in a bank of grass writing a letter to someone I "know" (read know of) on a message board. Someone comes along and I realize that it's the replacement Pastor for this week at Church. (Actually, Pastor IS out of town but our replacement is one of our retired members who is a former Pastor.) Turns out this guy is someone else I know from the same message board. So I take him home with me and try my darnedest to make him comfortable and stuff. Getting him something to drink (he was in a hooded parka while walking along so I offered him cocoa but he turned that down saying it was way too hot for cocoa. Which it is. But then, why the parka? This was never answered.) like kool-aid and trying to get things all ready for him to be up the next day for church. He scoffed at every offer. *roll eyes* (now I know this guy on the message board is a nice guy and wouldn't be a dick...but?)

Anyway, somehow Pastor is there and he yelled at me for being topless (!) in front of the Pastor sub. I have no clue.

Switch the dream to going grocery shopping. People I know from the library, hospital and other places are milling around looking at this billboard and acting all excited. I ask "what's going on?" and someone told me that "Jesus is coming back in the form of the new Pope!!" To which I (rightly) tried to explain that the Pope is NOT Jesus, no matter WHAT he tries to say.

It kept going on like that until I woke up with tears on my face from frustration at trying to get people to listen to me that the Pope is not God...he isn't Jesus. He can't save anyone!

But no one would listen. And then other "savior" types started into the mix...which is when I woke up.


Sometimes I wonder if our dreams ARE like the prophets of old...not all the time but...sometimes...
