I had this dream on 4/6/25
In the dream, I felt I was the prophet moses during his time on earth thousands of years ago. I stood on a grassy hill and a great white tree was in front of me (I was not in a forest though, there was mostly just grass around me). A branch went from the tree to waist level right before me. A glowing white girl stood in the tree and invited me to follow her onto the tree, so I climbed onto the branch. On the tree, I noticed that the branches split, and I decided to take the left route. Suddenly, the tree plunged downward deep into water. Then a glowing white vine found me and pulled me out. This vine was from God saving me, I asked God why he didn’t save the girl too. He basically told me that the girl was evil.
Second part of the dream:
I was in a Church building in Germany, and there was a mix up of scriptures. Somehow I lost mine and got someone else’s scriptures. I eventually found my scriptures but had to spend a lot of time returning scriptures to various people who had lost theirs. There also was this ward activity they were planning that was going to be fun (so not spiritual). I also was working at a store (looked like Walmart; I was restocking shelves) somehow at the same time/place as the scripture mix up.
Interpretation of first part:
This dream is about how organized religions will trick their followers in the last day. That includes my own religion (Mormonism) – which likely will be tricked in some form (I have had many dreams of this).
For the reader to fully understand my interpretation, I will have to reference a part of the book of Mormon. I understand 99% of people don’t believe in these scriptures – that is why I have tried to only use bible verses on this website thus far. However, this dream simply won’t make sense without referencing a very small part of the Book of Mormon; if you don’t believe in the book of Mormon, understand that God sometimes uses worldly sources to send messages so that people understand (Jesus even compares himself to an unjust judge in the parables to help the people understand here). So anyway: here I reference 1 Nephi 8 and 1 Nephi 11. Lehi and Nephi both have a dream where they are in a field following an iron rod (which represents the scriptures and god’s commandments) towards a tree with glowing white fruit (which represents the peace of God). Mists of darkness cover the field, causing multitudes of people who seek the tree to get lost. There also is a river of dirty water – representing sin – and on the other side of the river a great and spacious building full of people in the attitude of mocking the saints trying to find the tree (this represents worldly institutions mocking religion).
So, in my dream, a prophet was called on to a white tree from my field; likewise in the book of Mormon, the prophets are called towards a tree with white fruit from a field. Moreover, the waters in my dream were bad, just as the river of filthy waters in the Book of Mormon dream were bad.
However, in my dream, the white tree didn’t actually represent the peace of God coming from true religion – it described a deception, pretending to be religion. Those who embarked onto it were immediately plunged into the waters – representing sin and calamity (I think), but also representing how this religion ultimately betrays them. Therefore, this dream warns us to avoid such deceptions that have the appearance of Christianity but are not.
In the dream, I also remember the tree had forks and different routes you could take. In my view, that represents how there isn’t one specific institution deceiving the world – but many; you feel you are given a choice in which institution to go on, but actually they all lead to destruction.
It’s also worth noting the symbolism of the glowing white vines that save me: In retrospect, I think these actually were roots, seeing they had no leaves. These roots represent the teachings, covenants, and gospel truths that have been taught for millennia, but are slowly lost (Jacob 5). Therefore, when we are faced by the deceptions of false religion, according to the dream we can be saved by the very roots of our faith – the scriptures. So read the scriptures!
Interpretation of second part:
I believe the mix-up of scriptures represents how people have swapped basing their beliefs on the scriptures to basing their beliefs on the teachings of others (which are supposedly based on the scriptures).
I once saw a youtube video interviewing a woman on her spiritual journey. She mentioned how in college she had a friend who was supposedly also Christian and they would read the scriptures together frequently (which was necessary because she didn’t own her own Bible at the time). At the time the person interviewed didn’t know premarital sex was forbidden in the Bible, and her friend had not been following this teaching. She recalls how her friend had been skipping chapters. After she had bought her own Bible, she discovered that her friend had been skipping all verses referencing the law of Chastity!
This story struck me: She thought she was a faithful Christian reading the scriptures, but actually was being deceived into accepting a false version of Christianity. Have I done that too! Have you! The only way she escaped was by reading the scriptures herself. By then, unfortunately, she had suffered much for not following the Law of Chastity (she had at least three kids who were all taken away by child protective services following her boyfriends engaging in bad activities, which is just crazy to me). So, this part of the dream once again reemphasizes the need to trust no one (not even me) and base your deepest beliefs on the scriptures.
Back to the dream: people had left behind their scriptures and were planning a fun non spiritual activity. This represents how religions have started to abandon the scriptures and their true purpose (to encourage people to repent and return to God), to instead have a good time.
Likewise, in the dream I somehow was simultaneously at Church and also working at a store that looked like Walmart. This represents how religions have become more worldly – overly focused on personal enjoyment and making money.
Personal Notes
I understand it’s very unlikely anyone will believe me; my dreams have basically insulted all groups of people at this point. It’s very lonely. But what am I supposed to do? These are my actual experiences… It’s just as lonely to pretend like everything is OK when my dreams indicate it is not.
