This was new for me - I went to heaven in my dream last night

Yup, caught up in the rapture and went all the way up. I didn’t think I was in any particular state of grace, but apparently God isn’t that fussy after all. I have an extremely vivid dream life, in case you haven’t figured that out. I’ve been killed a few times in my dreams (that’s always weird), been the Queen of the Underworld once, went to many different planets, hit the ground in the falling dream multiple times, watched or been a cast member of unaired episodes of my favourite television shows, you name it, I’ve done it in my dreams, but I’ve never floated up to heaven before. It was cool, but we all seemed to have office jobs in heaven.

Just wanted to share that with all y’all.

:dubious: Somehow that wasn’t my idea of heaven. You sure that was heaven?

I hear your sense of direction gets a bit fuzzy during the apocalypse.

Naw, it was definitely up. I can’t explain it - maybe heaven isn’t so much a good place as it is a… routine place.

Heaven is a place. Where nothing ever happens. They’re playing your favorite song. They’re playing it again.

Aside from the the possiblity of it being your favorite song, sounds very much like an office job.

Interestingly last night I dreamt I went to China.

Well, y’all aren’t making this place sound too enticing. Are you both Christians? People want to get to this place. . .why again?

Am I the only one now hearing this song in his head:

Last night I had the strangest dream
I sailed away to China
In a little rowboat to find ya
And you said you had to get your laundry clean
Didn’t want no one to hold you,
What does that mean?

As for dreaming of the Rapture and being assigned a desk job, well, maybe that fits in with your other dream of being Queen of the Underworld. It’s mainly an administrative thing, you see, and you get to commute to Hell but live in Heaven. (I mean, you wouldn’t trust someone who was actually damned him/herself to run the Underworld, would you? That’d be having the inmates run the asylum.)

I tend to dream about video games. If I’ve been playing something like Diablo or Gears of War, they can be kind of hellish.

I had a rapture dream lately too! Only I was running from the fire. Eep!

So were you eatin’ cars and eatin’ bars, or did you only eat guitars?

In the past week, I’ve had two dreams in which I saw three separate planes crash - 2 jetliners at an air show, we all shrugged. And one little experimental one-man plane, that flipped upside down. The pilot walked away from that one.

Of course Heaven is a bureacracy! Why do you think prayers are answered in such an inefficient manner? :wink:

You mean like this place?

A lot like that, actually. Those episodes are very good - they would make an excellent television show.

I don’t recall any bars or guitars, but it seems there were a few cars involved…:smiley:

begins construction on own Heaven in this corner

Hey, my husband has that Godzilla with the hand that pops off that is the opening cartoon of those videos!

You’re probably not as excited about that as I am.

I’ve dreamed twice in the past week that it’s Christmas and my brother can’t come :frowning: When he called today I told him and he said “what? that would never happen!” :slight_smile:

When you’re an elfkin477, your brother better be there for Christmas! How could you think otherwise? Is he elfkin478?

Traditional Judeo-Christian literature describes heaven as a place where the citizens are in perpetual sabbath, which is also boring. The offices in your dream are just another example of heaven changing with the times.

shudder
Don’t do that again.
