I wouldn't call myself a religious man; some would call me an atheist, but I feel I just have a spiritual understanding in a more poetic sense. I don't subscribe to the notion of there being a big bearded white guy in charge up in the clouds, this topic isn't about that; well it is but it isn't, I would just rather keep this from being about the existence of the judeo-christian diety. I feel, however, that a bit of an understanding of my understanding would be helpful for the direction of this post, which is unclear to me at this point.
In the interest of progressing, I shall give a over simplified label and call myself an existentialist christian. It's a lot more complicated then that, but just to give a basic idea.
Now to the point: (if there even is one besides killing time as my hangover subsides) recently, and frequently, my dreams have revolved around religion in a variety of ways. From something as simple as my cell phone oddly turning into a glowing rectangle of religious symbolism; hell, heaven, crosses (though they looked more like medical crosses then crucifix), and so on. It would be different everytime I looked at it, and was no longer functionable as a phone, but it was always religious, and always conveyed a different emotion: Love, Fear, Hate, Sickness, etc.
I had one that depicted the decapation of Jesus Christ. Followed by a framed picture of the headless messaih surrounded by the most delapidated and morose candles (if any candles could cry, these would be the candles to do it.)
There have been a lot more, in between these sides of the spectrum from silly to scary, but these stand out the most and now it is the time for me to pose this question to you: To the devout-what do you make of this dreamtime divine intervention?
To the nonbelievers-ever have dreams as twistedly disturbed as this?
