I have not personally, however if you read some of the religious texts from various religions and traditions over the ages, it seems highly likely that various experiences and visions occurred within dreaming. "Truth" or just imagination is another question though. I personally 'believe' that dreaming is a gateway, although it's just a belief with very little personal proof |

b12 I believe that we can meet the real God in dreams, but what I will see is my ideea of how he'll look like. I mean I would see Him as a cloud of light in cosmos, others might see Him as an old guy, others as Morgan Freeman, but the real entity is God Himself. I think it's a form a telepathy, just like shared dreaming.. after all "we are one"... |

Unless you mean God as in a Dream Character made of your expectations of what God should be like, then this thread belongs in Beyond Dreaming |

We all live in a kind of continuous dream. When we wake, it is because something,
some event, some pinprick even, disturbs the edges of what we have taken as reality.

One of God's own prototypes. A high-powered mutant of some kind never even considered for mass production. Too weird to live, and too rare to die.
Yes years ago I was in Heaven but it was totaly not like I expected it (yeah I know it was just a dream). God had this red ugly brickstone castle, and there were pits before the castle. I asked God why these people are stuck in those pits when they should enjoy Heaven. He told me he didn't liked them... And thus they shall forever do the work no Angel or Demon is willing to do. He was guiding me around and he was more like Satan then God. Heck, He even controlled Satan and Hell. There was a long dark redish atmospheric stair way down that he told me was the entering of Hell thru Heaven. And said "Only if I like you, you will live a decent life here". So I asked "Do you like me?" and He said "Yes, you are an ok kid" |

Whatever happens~
i didnt meet god but i meet the devil |
|
I have met "my interpretation of God" in two dreams. I believe in the Christian protestant God. I was in heaven and everything was covered in clouds. A man I assumed to be jesus handed me a purple card, I then looked to my left to see a man being thrown into a fiery pit I assumed to be hell. This was years ago so sorry for lack of detail. |

I'm always happy.
It seems that that for some of my deeper dreams, the content is foreign to my experience and usual way of thinking, so that I don't know how to make sounds and pictures out of it, or to think about it very clearly. I think that if I were to dream of God, I wouldn't remember anything. Maybe I'm dreaming of God right now. |

hi again,my dream where ive met god started like this: |

Yaweh, Jesus, Buddha, Shiva, Zeus, Chronos, Aphrodite, Cupid, Morpheus, Michael, Pan, Kanaloa, Kamapua'a, Pueo, and The Devil are all "known" gods I have dreamt of. They are all weird, and all cool as fuck. |

ya gwan fok wid de Baron? ye gotta nodda ting comin. (Formerly known as Baking Nomad.)
'cause gods of interwebs didn't allow you. Someone might offer you perfectly rationalistic agnostic answer, but maybe the gods of interwebs blinked an eye to you. Talk to Legba, Jane, Flying Spaghetti Monster, Hermes, Iris, Ceiling Cat, mr Norris and Grandmother Spider if you want to complain |

I'm not claiming that there's the God, but if [beyond genders]e exists it could help to seperate the God from gods. If the [won't say the name of consept, 'cause it might mislead] [beyond genders]e is off course part of all gods and in deep mystical connection with them. Just nitpicking 'cause I use big capitals for the [enter aum-letter here] and small letters for other ones. |

I met God in a few dreams... |

This might go towars philosophieic section and not beyond dreaming (lolz) but why are you referring this phenomion with gender tied pronoun? I'm just asking, not intending to offend, but I feel that if we are to refer to this big mystery that is unspeakable (maybe most adressable with mysteries, personal spiritual experiences and, yes, dreams) we shouldn't use defining terms. Maybe you have some belief system that ties with judeochristislamity (not to say that truth can't be acquired from them) or maybe you're just used to using word 'he'. I like to use 'she' instead of 'he'. Because pronoun 'he' is overused these days. I bring this up (into surface) just 'cause, if we talk about 'the God' or anyones relationship with it (like, is it separate from us or do we find a gate towards =£# within ourselfs) we are in a territory where defining words deceive us. If we want to talk this as a bridge between belief systems and religions we should be carefull with words. This thing called 'the God' could suit better in beyond dreaming than in it's right section in this forum because some darn crusader atheists with the power of reason and name of Athe hamper the conversation. I also apologise if I have offended your faith by suggesting that he doesn't refer to 'the God'. Just in case it happened 'cause I don't know you. |

If you consider God an unknowable then maybe you shouldn't use a gender-based pronoun at all - male or female. Unfortunately in English that would be It, which carries a dehumanizing/negative connotation, at least when applied to people - the reason it can be so difficult to talk about people on the board who haven't revealed their gender (Mayflow, I'm lookin' at YOU! ) - though I suppose God wouldn't get angry over being called It. It just seems somehow disingenuous to apply feminism to concepts of God - seems to drag the whole idea down to less than grandiose levels (though I do get the point - it demonstrates that Judeo-Christianity and other religions have always done exactly that). |

My response was really directed at labyrint who, if I understand correctly, says he prefers to address God in the feminine while at the same time saying "we are in a territory where defining words deceive us. If we want to talk this as a bridge between belief systems and religions we should be carefull with words." |

I'm just picking my nose on on this. Because I thought that this could be great forum (not referring to whole forum but this beyond section) for this. To me this is talking about great mystery of all and beautifull thing about this is that it can't be tied with words. This's personal mystical experience and even thou it takes personified forms it's great mystery. Great thing is border between us and it (thank u darkmatters for bringing out that it wouldn't be offended, who wants to think reality as offended type anyway) where it lies, how can we study it. Only non-gnostic christians, non-cabbalistic jews and non-sufic muslims and offended by notion that we are in fact the God. Atleast as far as we know the mystery. OK, couple of other religions are also offended. But let me say: funk them. Also small letter gods are important, they are real as in matter of dreams, archetypes and magic. They have subjectivly revealed aspects of their personalities and it's easier on personal level to get to know them. But the big mystery remains |
