| Allow me to tell you what the significance of my dream was in my opinion. In my dream I saw this two huge mountains, each facing each other. They both were at the same height and both were the same size. One curious thing about this mountain was, every time I looked at it, I wondered how can I go to the other one. So, I gathered the courage and determination that I have to go across to other side. What I had to do was not easy. I had to climb down from this one big mountain but along the way I just have to make my own way because there was no pathway nor even an animal track. But I didn�t see any point in going back for I already started descending and making my way down. The forest was very thick with vegetation. The under growth was very thick, I could hardly get through it, but I kept on going. I suffered scrapes but I didn�t care. My aim was to reach the other end, which was always beckoning me to come. I always felt that every time I looked at this other mountain which was opposite of where I come from. As if something is telling me to go and someone is saying that I have to go there, which I did. Well I am starting to go down from where I was and on the way to reach the other one. But I tell you it wasn't easy. While I am making my way down, I felt that it is taking me a very long time to reach the bottom and I am starting to wonder if I did the right thing. But can't get back up, I must follow through. So I crept my way down, and just kept on going. I also noticed that the closer to the bottom of the mountain I got, the darker it was getting. And I didn�t have anything to use as a light so I can see my way. I just felt my way down and finally I reached the bottom, but there was a river. Not too deep but I have this phobia of being sucked down in the bottom and having the fear of getting eaten by crocodiles. So I looked around and there it was, this huge tree had fallen over and the trunk was perfect for crossing the river as it reached the other side. I climbed up onto it but the trunk was very slippery, so I had to be really careful and at the same time praying. All the time, sort of scolding myself on how truly stupid this whole idea was. I asked myself why do I have to go to this other mountain and what is in there that calls me so. I am starting to doubt myself but there is no way that I can go back up. I stoodd up on the trunk and started crossing, praying for courage. And after I prayed I just took one step after another. I keep on doing this until I am in the very middle of the tree which is like a bridge. I told myself not to look down but keep my eyes on the other side and I will get there. So that is exactly what I did till I reached the other side, the bottom of the other parallel mountain. By this time, it is getting even darker. I said to myself, �I must hurry if I want to reach the top while there is still light to see my way up.� But as I am climbing upwards, I find myself in the middle of this place which seems like a garden. The plants there are so green. Big leaves and healthy, the place has been abandoned and natural but yet so beautiful. I can see plants that have flowers. Also I saw pebble pathways. They�re smooth as if they had been used but there is no one around. Also, I saw a spring well with water coming up and out of it. The water is very clear and very clean. The well having a big stone beside it and stones around it, as if someone had build it to protect the water. I thought that must be the reason why the plants here, were so healthy because of this water from the well. I thought that�s nice at least they can survive during the summer. I could have stayed there longer thinking about this well, how it came about, who built it, who were the people that lived there and why was no one around. I had so many questions, but no one was going to tell me the answers for there was no one there. So I decided that I must hurry if I wanted to reach the top. but along the way, there again, I can see the path the same as the other one. I thought that would be nice just to follow that path but then again I thought that might lead me around which might take too long to reach my goal. And along the way I saw some more flowers, this time I can feel that there must be someone living there. I would like to follow the path but decided not to, so I climbed up the hill further.When I can feel what I thought must be the very top of the mountain. But before I can swing myself up, I looked up, and there was this beautiful lady and her companion gentleman. They were both dressed as if just coming from the Victorian Age. She is a long flowing dress, he is a beautifully tailored suit. She looked down to where I was and said to me, "There you are, why did it take you so long to come, We have been waiting for you forso long, come join us." This time I hauled myself up and brushed the dirt off my clothes and kind of tidied up my hair. But they seemed not to care how I was dressed, but were just so glad to finally see me. I looked around and there were more people to my right all partying and having a good time. And to my left, I saw this long and beautiful vine bridge connected to the other mountain where I just come form. But my side was perfectly flat and circular, it was a small plateau right on top of the mountain. Looking back to the middle, there was a short hip high erection of stones built into an altar. But before it was an lattice archway. The archway having the same type of vine intertwined into it as the thicker one that served as the vine bridge to the other world. It climbed up and around the archway, and the color of the flower on the vine was the same flower as on the bridge. The people were so happy, they had this peace about them and I can just feel it. They seemed so contented and peaceful as everything and everyone seemed to have their place. But I noticed some the them were going back and forth between these two mountains. They went two by two, male with a female. I thought that it was nice, but I was wondering why they have to go back to that other one side which wasn�t such a nice place. This was heaven but back there was the cold hard unloving world. But that is exactly what they were doing. The thing is, I did not see the connecting bridge before when I was over there, but now I could see it.It is suspended in the air as if just floating between the two clouds. It only supported by this two mountains. I watched the people when they walked on the vine bridge to see if it moved or swayed but I could see NO movement,. not a wiggle at all. It was so solid, so stationary. But it was then my turn to go back and over to the other side, for I and they knew it was not time for me to stay. I had to leave and had to cross over this deep abyss to the other side. I didn�t hesitate but just walked like every body else, full of faith and with total confidence. The vine bridge looked shaky, but I realized that when I put my feet down, the bridge became like a very solid concrete bridge. I�m amazed at how strong it is. And the smell of the beautiful purple flowers on the bridge was so enticing as if you are in paradise. Eventually I reached the other side, there being another archway acting as a gate at that end as well. But people on that worldly mountain weren�t andb couldn�t walk on the bridge. Surely like me they couldn�t see it from their end, and from their mountain. No one only those that are belong to the heavenly side could walk on the vine bridge and I can still see them walking two by two back and forth across. They seemed to know what they�re doing and where they were going. But I kept thinking, why didn�t those on this side see the bridge which connected to other heavenly side. But surely, only those that are called or belong can walk on the vine bride,. And then the dream ended. |
