This dream is up for interpretation. However, it is my belief that the Lord can reveal himself to us through nature, dreams, everyday occurrences. Please, read with an open mind and heart. I just hope you enjoy!

“My Rapture: a dream”, written by Nathan L. Moon

I started having this dream sporadically for two years:

I am sitting in my English class listening to my professor. I can’t hear him. Whatever he says is muffled, and my classmates are blurred out, but they’re obviously monotonously copying what he says into their notebooks. But I know what he is saying doesn’t matter because I have an unexplainable knowledge and assurance that, ultimately, I don’t need it and will not need it.

I look out the tall window, and through the blinds I can see cars in the lot on fire, papers rolling like tumble weeds across the campus grounds.

Suddenly sound returns and there are explosions, gunshots. My classmates jump to their feet and shriek, running for the door.

Before I know it I’m outside, running to my car. The only thought in my mind is, “I have to get home. I hope everyone’s okay.”

I arrive home. I run inside, looking for my parents but they’re gone. My siblings are down in the basement—Zachary, Lucas, Maximus, Bryana. I gather them and we leave for my girlfriend’s house, hoping she’s okay, that I can reach her in time. 

To my joy she is unscathed, but a little confused. All I can think to say is, “We must get to my dad’s house. My grandparents will be there and everything. We’ll all be safe.” When I am asked where mommy is I have the feeling in my stomach that either mommy is fine, or she ... won’t be coming … I want so bad to wake up but I am unable to. I don't like saying that. 

I’m belted in, heading north, going up to see my family. I look around and all I feel is incredible, overwhelming love. I can’t describe the comfort, but I know it’s not a product of the moving, aluminum vehicle, and I know it’s not my companions; it’s something more, and I can sense that those in the car with me feel it too. I don’t turn back; I just drive.
