Not a dream

[WHO ME]

I imagine that a few people have had what some call night terror type dreams, where you cant move and/or your trying to say Jesus and maybe only the Je Je can you get out.... I dont think those are dreams case in point....

So I'm really sleeping on my couch laying on my back (really).... and this happened around 6am or there abouts....

So at the far end of the couch I see this black figure with little yellow eyes that didnt have a neck or arms which resembled the shape of an unsidedown letter u rise slowy up to about a foot and a half taller than the arm of the couch... then it came down the side of the couch bent over looking me right in the face and then cocked its head to the right rather quickly and it was gone... now I could see my hands on my chest during this which I think took less than 15 seconds.... so then Im laying there with my eyes still closed a few mintues later and I think to myself - "well I know Im awake now" so when I open my eyes my hands are in the same position as they were during this event which made me believe it was not a dream....

Certainly was creepy thou.....

I know personally of what you speak and have heard testimonies of many others in my life. A life consisting of both 'before and after' becoming born again believer.

I have been taught and believe, that we are triparte human beings. We are spirit, soul and body. And dreams can come from any one of those three sources. Spiritual dreams from the spiritual realm of either good or evil. Soulish dreams come from what your mind, will, emotions (soul) has been dwelling upon while conscious, whether good or bad 'conscious thoughts'. And lastly, you can have fleshly/bodily dreams.....because you ate too much pizza.

I believe your dream does fit in the "spirit" realm.

@WHO ME I answered your post today after quickly reading it yesterday. But since doing so, I've been having second 'feelings' since that posting. And having just got home and reading it again, I do agree with you it wasn't a dream. I believe that what you experienced is called an open vision. That comes from the book of Acts 2 where it talks about young men having visions and old men dreaming dreams. You don't really fit the under 40 definition of that Greek word for "young men", but your experience sure does fit the definition IMO. It still doesn't sound like it was an open vision from God though. Oh well, maybe someone else will jump in with a teaching or testimony. But I am curious, has anything 'fearful' happened recently to you?
