Dream

I had a dream that just won't leave me.

God blessed me with wisdom when it comes to other people's dreams.  God will usually give me a very clear and accurate meaning if the dream was meant to convey something.  Sometimes it is just a dream...I believe, though, when we have dreams that plague us, the dream is there for a reason and God can use it to communicate to us.  In the last days, God says, I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your young men will see visions, your old men will dream dreams.  Acts 2:17

I rarely have dreams that I remember and I rarely can find any special meaning in them, but this one won't leave me.  I think I will place it here and pray about any meaning that it might have.

I was at our old house and we left for some reason with the intention of returning.  As we were returning, I remembered that we don't live there anymore and when the tenants found out we had been at the house they were angry with us.  The scene cut to the store parking lot where I found out I was pregnant.  Someone approached me and told me.  I thought, during that time, that being pregnant made sense since my tummy had gotten bigger.  I was not big enough, though, so I knew I wasn't "due" but I didn't know how far along I was.  Right after she told me, I went into pre-term labor and cried because I knew a baby that young would never survive.  The baby was born the size of my hand and grey.  I delivered right there and "caught" the baby myself.  I thought the baby was dead until I was encouraged to bring the baby to my chest and the baby's color began to turn pink and it opened it's eyes.  It began nursing hungrily and became stronger in minutes.  I believe that is when I woke up.
