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?

Well while I was Away from a godly life, I never had those... episodes.... because to me why would a devil want to do anything to rock the boat since your away from God, it wasnt until I repented and came back to a life pleasing to God that it occured.,.. ive had a few where you cant move and I had no idea weither dream or what it was... I knew while it was going on It.... couldnt hurt me but I didnt like that I couldnt say Jesus but only Je..... this was the first time I ever saw something..... only because I could see my hands in the exact position before and after did I know it wasnt a dream.... it was only about 4 foot tall..... never been any sound other than me trying to say Jesus.... now most dreams Ive had are more like watching a movie but when your trying to say Jesus during it, it's more like your having input into it from reality.... my interpetation is simple, the devil doesnt like the direction Im heading

A few weeks back I did have another one happen, I think a few mintues at most.

I was in a room like a basement no windows and what I took as devils looked like avg everyday people, I dont remember their mouths moving not sure but they were trying to convice me either Jesus wasnt real or He couldnt help me.. I replied something like "thats not gonna work here you try that on someone else" and they stoped trying it, not because I gave an order or anything but they knew it was a waste of time... then I was saying stuff that Ive said while awake before and one was, "you all hate eachother and you and satan hate eachother" and Id mention the "lake of fire". knowing its a sore issue with devils.... then some fat guy had a needle and my thought was it was to kill me but the thought I had was "only fear God who can kill the body and the soul" it ended when I was going up a tunnel thru I think cardboard and the packing thats in boxes when you buy stuff and that was it.... so I could do what I wanted during it with only maybe what seemed like 10 or so seconds where I couldnt move my jaw right to talk... that only annoyd me really and I said something to the effect you have to do that to shut me up...

What I believe I learned from it... I thought of paul and how I doubt they ever tried to get at him like that cause thru the Holy Spirit he cast them out face to face and made me think that as I get stronger in the Lord giving myself over to His will more and more they became less effective it their attempts...

I would think anyone who has this happen thats as you grow stronger in Gods will for your life the Holy spirit allows less and less on their part but I think its also that you know if your growing stronger in the Lord or not that helps...
