and jesus said...

ok, so here's a little background info: growing up, i had no religion, no spirituality. just over a year ago i quit drinking and went into a 12-step program, which i am still involved in. along the way in my recovery, i discovered the need for a "higher power" (as they say). having tried to let the christian god into my life for some time, with no real feelings of spirituality, or connection, i realized that what i was all along was pagan. still today i follow the pagan path. now, on to the dream. in this dream, i am facing jesus. i cannot see myself, i dont know where we are, indoors, outside, there is no background, only jesus and i, about 5 feet apart and facing each other. he is wearing a suit and tie (i dont recall any colors), his hair is just below shoulder length and wavy, his facial hair neat and trimmed. he is cradling a swaddled infant in his arms, then he says to me "call me dad". and thats that. this dream confuses me because i am not christian, and dont worship god or jesus. i am very happy with my spiritual path and have absolutely no regrets. anyone have any suggestions as to what this may mean for me?

There are several possibilities: 1. This is just a random dream spit out by your subconscious and the subject matter is what it is because you are a "pagan" living in a Christian-dominated society and perhaps you feel a pressure to conform. 2. This is your subconscious telling you that you really ought to be a Christian. 3. This is a rare dream of divine communication in which God is telling you that you ought to be a Christian. In the end you have to answer that yourself. I incline toward either 2 or 3 because I am a Catholic and I believe that that is where the truth lies. But, I think you should really think about, maybe pray about it, and figure out where this is really coming from. Maybe try to remember how you felt during and after the dream--that might give you some indication as well. On a side note: I am a little curious what you mean by "pagan".

It doesn't have to mean anything, just a random dream. I'm glad that dreams don't always have to mean something, cuz my dreams can be pretty phucked up. don't want to thing about what the dreams of me making out with boys mean! XD

How did you know he was Jesus? Cham

he looked the way he does in all the pictures (aside from the suit and tie). in the dream i simply knew who it was.
