I can't remember the whole dream..but I remember this part: I was awake in my bed facing my closet. Somehow the curtains weren't closed (and I always close them) and there was a storm outside. Suddenly, the was this flash of lightening that came right into my room through the window and onto my radio clock and as far as I could tell that was the only lightening that happened throught most of the storm.
I don't know that there's any deep meaning in it, but it sounds like it was a sleep paralysis experience. How old were you when it happened? A lot of children have SP (I did several times). It begins with you in bed and you could SWEAR you're wide awake, but then things are a little different than they usually are, and something weird happens. Did you try to move during it that you can remember?
This dream happened last night (and I'm in my 20s). I know I was dreaming..for one thing the curtains were OPEN and I ALWAYS CLOSE my curtains before getting into my bed. I think its my God's response for asking him if its alright for me to go into the program I want and move into residence.
