This is my dream, I hope you get something out of it.
First of all - let me tell you a little about myself, I am 48 years old, I got married seven and a half years ago. I started my training as a nurse when I was 18, at 22 I entered the convent, I took my vows after three years, I spent seven years as a nun. One morning in October we were going to visit Knock in county Mayo,Mayo is a place of pilgrimage in the west of Ireland but we never got there. About thirty miles from Knock we were involved in a very bad car accident. I broke my back in five places, both my legs and one arm, I also had severe internal injuries,.I was trapped in the car for a long time, the fire men had to cut me out. A priest was called as the doctor thought I wouldn't make it.The priest gave me the last rites. At that stage I left my body, I could see myself in the car, I was a front seat passenger, I started to rise very high up into a brilliant light, I never saw anything so bright before, then I could hear birds singing, laughter, and a beautiful smell of perfume. I cannot explain this as I never smelt anything like it before.
After some time I awoke to find myself on the road, I was disappointed to be back there, but I guess it was not my time to go.
I didn't walk for some years after the accident and I was very ill on and off. I went into a coma suddenly while talking to my Mom, I was put on life support, and again they didn't expect me to wake up, but on Christmas day I did wake up to the amazement of the doctors, I got well again.
My dream started some years ago, I was soo ill and felt that I couldn't take any more, so I sat in a room, I lit the candles on my alter put on some soft music. I must have fallen into a light sleep, I started to see myself on a narrow country road, the trees were big and meeting from one side of the road to the other, they formed an arch way, through the trees the sun was making a ray, it looked so beautiful; but as I looked up the road, it was a very steep hill;I wanted to see what was at the top, as I didn't want to go back down the road, it held the memories of the years of suffering;I just wanted it all to stop. I continued up the hill, but it was so steep I was finding it very hard to keep going, it seemed a lot easier to go back down. From a distance I could see a white seat at the side of the road, I thought - if I can get that far, I can rest and decide which way I should go.
After I rested for a while I felt fresher, I was looking up an down the hill,but the curiousity got the better of me I wanted to see what was at the top for I already knew what was at the bottom.I started to climb again, I was getting so tired and so hot, my legs were aching, but I was approaching the top of the hill, I was on the verge of collapse,I just wanted to fall down and stay there, but I made it, but just. I lay on my stomach in the sunshine, I was crying, I buried my head in my hands. Suddenly I saw a pair of of feet in sandles, and a white robe to the ground. I lifted my head slightly, and a hand was out to take mine, I looked up - and I saw the most beautiful, kindest face.I gave him my hand, and he spoke softly to me and said:Your climb is over, now I am going to hold you like a child in my arms.
This dream changed my life, it helps me to live my life to the full with complete trust in the Lord. Praise Him forever.A lot of times I get the smell of flowers, I am the only person in our company that can smell them; It is a smell of Holiness as if the Lord Himself is beside me. This can happen for you too, if you are hurting just turn to the lord, He will not forsake you. I promise.
