Do dreams of God provide evidence of his existence?
Are they a revelation of a higher truth?

There are those who say this is so. They may say these dreams provide insight into what may be less clear among the concerns and distractions of the waking world.

I ask, of course, because I just woke from dreaming of God. Not a fatherly figure with a white beard or anything. Not George Burns with a cigar. More a presence.. something off to stage left. I was dreaming of an afterlife more forgiving than Christianity envisions, since I wasn't surrounded by fiery brimstone. In fact, I was with someone I cared for deeply.

There are those who would jump up and say this is heaven. Perhaps it is a vision of heaven. Perhaps then this presence off to stage left was God. Has my dream revealed something to me?

Has my dream revealed that I will be blessed by his presence in the afterlife? That I will come to understand and accept his existence?

Again, many would say this is the truth revealed by my dream. And perhaps this dream has revealed to me the truth of my future. This isn't so hard to accept. The leap of faith to believe in God can/would explain his truth being revealed in dreams as well. The images revealed no clear details that would even prohibit the salvation of those who had yet to believe at their passing. He revealed himself to us on our deaths.

Again, a kinder gentler version compared to Christianity, and most other religions as well.

So, a great truth seems to have been revealed to me, and I guess I should act accordingly. It is truly these simple things that can alter a life forever. To bring new, more profound meaning to it. God truly works in mysterious ways. His truth, revealed in my dream, is profound.

Oh, did I mention I was overthrowing God in this dream?

His will be done. Who am I to argue?
