To my understanding (and it was my dream!) the wind was the Holy Spirit . The quote from St Peter Julian Eymard confirms this for me; whether the boat is interpreted as the Church or merely the individual person, the message I get is the need for simplicity, humility and, above all, great trust... combined with prayer, the sacraments, etc to keep our sails "unfurled and taut".
These were my thoughts when I read about your dream,..the captain is the new Pope,..the sails,..Our Ladys mantle,..the wind,..the Holy Spirit. Our Pope guided by Our Lady and the Holy Spirit will direct the ship,..the Church in the right direction which will lead to true peace.
Our Lady's mantle... that hadn't occurred to me, but it makes perfect sense; whenever I'm afraid, I always ask Our Lady to protect me with her motherly mantle, so naturally this is what I would have been asking in my dream .
I had another thought on the water part of your dream,..the waves beating up against the ship. You could not see the waves because it was night. To me that represented the dark forces that can't be seen but will be felt in the form of persecutions that will rise up against the Church. Not a very pleasant thought,..I know,..but I think those are the stormy waters we will have to go through before we get to that peace..
Adoremus, usually when one has a dream one has a good instinct of what it actually means. You just have to trust your gut on this. Deep down, you know what this all means.
Thanks Tina! I appreciate your thoughts. Regarding your comments about the first dream: I was leaving Mass this morning and as I was walking out, a couple in back of me was discussing how long the service was. Then they observed that next week is Palm Sunday and the Mass will again be long, so they planned not to go. This is what we deal with today. It is all about convenience. Ugh.
Indeed Thomas but I wonder these people would maybe find no problem watching mind numbing Tv or cinema
An odd thing happened last night/early this morning. I woke up from a disturbing dream that I was in Spain when a incredibly strong earthquake hit. It was very frightening and the worst part was I was away from home and my son, all I could think was why did I come here (I was on holiday), if I had stayed at home I would be safe. I hid under a table at an outdoor restaurant and as things began to collapse all around me I woke up. It was still dark out. A few minutes later I heard my son (age 9) stirring in his bed (he's in the room beside mine) and then he came into my room saying he had had a nightmare. I didn't ask him what it was about, just let him climb in beside me and go back to sleep. So this morning I asked him about his nightmare. He said that pale creatures like demons with red stripes running down their faces were coming up out of cracks in the ground, along with hot lava. He climbed to the top of a tower to escape. While he was on the tower an earthquake came and the tower crumbled to the ground and he woke up. YIKES!
I had a very dream last year, I posted about it at the time. I can only remember waking up with a start because a huge meteor burst through the atmosphere. I was jolted awake so hard it hurt and my heart was racing. Almost simultaneously my 6 year old was at the door telling me who had bad dreams. I have since decided Mothers are hardwired to their sons.
Here it is, posted April 30 2012. I can only remember 1 comet now but at the time I thought it was 2... "However, I must say a strange experience of my own comes to mind but I have no idea whether it was a good thing or a bad thing. I'm trying to think about what precipitated it now but honestly I can't. I think it may have been when I had been reading about The 3 days of darkness but I can't remember if this was before my conversion of heart/supernatural experience or later. I have a feeling it was before because for some reason it marks my new-found spirituality. Sorry if this doesn't make sense, it's hard to explain. Anyway, one night I must have been sleeping soundly because I cannot remember anything else about that night. Except that suddenly I saw two comets crash in the sky, they shot towards me as if they were being hurled and straight into me. They slammed into me so hard that I awoke with a start as if I'd been shocked, and it shook my body so intensely that for a split second it hurt. I was startled although not afraid. I looked over at my husband and he was breathing quickly as if he was running but when I shook him he simply turned over and returned to restful sleep. I was not surprised that my small son then knocked on my door saying he was having bad dreams, I'll often wake as one of the children does. He went back to bed easily and so did I but that experience stayed with me for a while afterwards because it was so intense." Bizarre
This is exactly how Conchita described the Warning in Garabandal. Very striking. Just like the comet due to hit Mars....in October 2014
Okay, so I posted the above about a scary dream I had a couple of months ago. Then a couple of weeks ago a friend asked me to come to Spain for a few days because she's renting an apartment there for a week and I jumped at the opportunity and booked my flights. Then I remembered the dream... My flight leaves first thing in the morning. I have tried to put it out of my mind but could you all maybe send a few prayers my way, just in case! And if an earthquake hits Spain in the next couple of days, well...
This reminds me of something from Locutions to the World: March 4, 2013 Mary Do not be surprised that I have prepared my priest son for this great task. Immediately, his papacy will be immersed in the greatest darkness. The forces of hell will realize what I have done. They will see, better than others, the full gift. They will realize what I have accomplished. These forces were poised to destroy the Church. They were lurking along the path, ready to steal and even to destroy. Suddenly, the Church is no longer on that path. All of their plans will come to nothing. My pope will lead the Church on a new path. He will say to all, “This is the way we must walk”. Even though he is the pope, many will not agree. Many, and I stress this, many will oppose him and even threaten him. However, this new pope is like a little child who knows only the voice of his mother. He will respond to all of his critics, “This is the way my heavenly mother wants me to lead the Church. Is she not the mother of the Church?”
