Mystical Vision

It was a temple of some sort with lots of non Christian faces and symbols
There was an electric key board in the far left hand corner and a sacred 
Envoy in white at the front of this monumental space. 
Some lady robed in black came up to me and handed me 
a red ribbon covered in scribbles peoples names  
She told me it was the cross of Jesus and that I had to wear it 
on my right shoulder.  So I lay it there and then started to pray 
I suddenly felt all the pain and merciful emotions Christ was feeling 
at the loss of all his people ; 
Preferentially loaded with sorrow, outnumbered by the mass,   
I knew that I was in the right place so I stayed
until the end of the Sabbatical;  
It was only when I woke up that I realized that all the names etched 
on that silk red ribbon were names of people who had died.  
Where did I spend the night, how did I get there, Christ was visiting where ?

it didn't matter, I just knew...

Dreams a mystery. Sometimes Gods presence.

This reads like a mystery....Were you dreaming or were you visited by some extraterrestrial being or apparition or did you have a vision ?? This is quite intriguing and I feel being haunted ! You could bring in a very eerie feeling Rose~

Dear Valsa it was intriguing to me too. Not sure where this dream came from it was 4:30 am, when I awoke, and couldn't go back to sleep, either way the part about Christ felt real.
