Background

I’ve gotten behind in publishing some of my dreams because I have been dumb and unproductive, but I guess I will start with at least this last night. I pray that I can stop being dumb.

Here are some things of which I have recently reflected:

• A general rule of thumb is to never allow yourself to do things that you would advise others not to do.
• Being depressed or giving into temptation is low intelligence.
• There is a certain hypnosis induced when we think things and let that transform into small actions, and similarly there is a certain hypnosis in deciding not to do something and then convincing yourself there must have been a reason to not do it.
• Usually, the only way to end the spell is to just do whatever it is you are procrastinating, because anything else – such as doing nothing or distracting yourself with a neutral activity – ends up just being a waiting game for your subconscious to play until it lulls you back into the temptation.
• It’s really hard for me to mentally deal with repeated failures or with fearing potential bad news, and I don’t really have any solution for this.
• I have a persistent feeling that I am doing something wrong and I can’t tell what it is. Unfortunately, I usually get the balance between planning and dreaming (on one side) versus action (on the other side) really skewed towards planning and dreaming.

A New Age; Becoming Kings and Queens

I dreamt that I was in this medieval looking world, staying in an Airbnb on the top of a large tower. In the field outside the tower, people were competing in games to receive keys, and I felt like I needed to win one of these games to be able to get a key to my room. After giving up on this, I then just went up the tower in I think an elevator and found my key at the top as if I had just left my key on a small table or something near the door to my room.

In my room, I saw my dad and brother were also inside, but I felt my booking was expiring and I needed to leave to my new room. Unfortunately, it was now very late in the day (I had lost time trying to get a key when it was at the top the whole time), and I felt my plans were going wrong because it was too late to move to the new place. However, serendipitously, the owner of the tower we were presently in (who was a woman) had been sitting outside of my room and overhearing my conversation with my dad about how I was out of time to leave (apparently my dad and brother weren’t going to go with me to this new place). She happened to also be the owner of the other tower I to which I would be moving, and so once I left my room she gave me the key to my new room in the new place. However, it didn’t look like a key – it looked like a small compass – but I think it somehow functioned as a key, and I think it also always pointed to the new place at which I would be staying.

I then started descending the tower to get to the new tower in which I would stay. This journey now was much further than before however: instead of the bottom of the tower opening out into a field, now it was as if the tower was built upon the top of a mountain, and I had to take a gondola down the mountain to leave.

As I rode down the gondola, I started to worry that my new key wouldn’t take me anywhere and I was uncertain about my future or if I would find my new place. I then received an important message – and this message is why I decided this dream was sufficiently not random for it to be worth sharing here:

I was told that the new age was coming in a like manner to how a new day gradually dawns as the morning light intensifies. Specifically, as the sun rises, you don’t really know how long it will take for it to completely rise, or if the sun really will rise fully on your schedule. But you can still see that the sun is indeed rising, and so you can still have a sure hope that the new day is coming regardless of the exact timing.

As I was told this, I could see that it looked like it was early in the morning just as the sky was getting brighter – a contradiction to before, in which I felt like it was already night and seemingly too late to switch to staying at a new place. Thus, it was as if I didn’t need to intensely worry about the future, because I could be just as sure that everything would eventually be OK as I was sure that it would soon become daytime.

At the bottom, using the compass I came to the (nearby) new medieval looking massive stone castle tower I would be staying at. I climbed up a staircase going along the outside of the tower, and I was able to hold the compass to the door to unlock the door to enter the tower. I then passed through what seemed to be an airport security line before entering the interior of the tower. After entering a courtyard, for some reason I had a needle in my lips that I put next to a pile of other needles from other people on the railing. There then was a girl who asked for my help in opening her room: apparently people received different classes according to what object they had received – I was somehow grouped with the people who had received compasses, but other people had received different objects to enter the tower. The girl had a different object than mine, and beyond just her own object she also needed someone else with a different object than her to be able to unlock her room. This part sounds strange and like a dream, but to be complete I will add: there was a specific object people could be assigned to that she needed, and my compass was not it, but if I was strongly magical my compass would still somehow be sufficient. And it was: we opened the door to her room, and then I felt like I should stay in her room, and we somehow became kings and queens.

Discussion

A few weeks ago, I thought the three days of darkness was going to happen during Christmas time because of interesting things people had dreamt of online. Now that this hasn’t happened, I’m realizing the 3dod is less imminent and I probably will have to wait for a while – which is actually a blessing because I have been sinful and this gives me more time to get myself right.

The main message of the dream is that I shouldn’t lose hope and stop waiting for the three days of darkness and tribulation. Although I might not completely know of the timing of this, I can be just as certain that it comes as one can be sure that the day is coming when you can see the dawn. Indeed, to me it appears that if you look around at the events in the world today, everything is aligning correctly, though it can be hard to be objective given how the news changes so slowly – just as the new day’s light brightens ever so gradually.

Here are some other relevant parts:

• The games out in the field outside the tower represent the games people play in the world to be successful which ultimately don’t matter.
• The tower I started in represents getting to be in the secret place with God right now in the world we presently live in.
• The tower I was going to represents finally getting to heaven / joining the 144,000 / truly making it to God.
• The girl and I becoming queens and kings represents glory being added upon the saints in the world to come, and our needing to enter the room together represents how the covenant of eternal marriage is necessary to fully achieve said glory (as is taught in Mormon doctrine)(also, I am not married as I am still young).
• I think the compass represents spiritual gifts, and the owner of the towers represents God.
• Me leaving my dad and brother behind represents how we must leave loved ones behind as we come to God’s sanctuary.
• My leaving the first tower at night represents how the end comes at the “midnight hour” (Matthew 25:6, 1 Thessalonians 5:2–6).
• I’m not sure what the needles represent.

A Black Coin

The dream I had after this I thought was random when I woke up, but looking back at my notes I think it might not be.

In the dream, I was still in the quasi medieval setting as before, but I was trying to find food, so I first went to what seemed sort of like a McDonald’s. However, I wasn’t able to pay: weirdly, we each had one of these things that seemed sort of like coins, but were actually wafers – and these wafers I think had designs stamped into them similar to how oreos have designs stamped into them. We used the wafers to pay – we would like scan the wafer to be able to see our charge on the screen of like a tablet and then we could approve the charge. Nevertheless, my wafer wouldn’t scan, thus stopping me from paying. Eventually I got help from the employees, who spray painted my waiter black – which apparently helped with the reading technology – and indeed it apparently worked. I then saw that my charge was very high – over $40 for just a hamburger and maybe some fries – and that I had also incurred charges for my previous waffling around trying to get it to scan correctly.

Thus, I decided to just not pay and instead I walked out of the restaurant – intending to go to a more old fashioned restaurant I had remembered being to which had rice and meat. On my way there, I interacted with a friend who was about to put on a performance as a sort of bard in the street. He was amidst a crowd of performers and people, and they were in this sectioned off spot of the road intended for (I guess) performers. However, I didn’t wait to watch his performance and kept going on my way.

Discussion

I believe the new coin represents a monetary change coming to the world, and the coin being spray painted black represents something relating to the beast system / mark of the beast.

The wafer coin being a coin perhaps represents crypto – seeing how most cryptocurrencies are spoken of as “coins” and their logos show symbols inside of coins.

It being a wafer represents how it doesn’t have any intrinsic value: the wafer in (for example) an oreo seems very much like a coin – in that it has the same shape and also has designs stamped into it. However, it easily crumbles and doesn’t have any lasting value – just like how this new currency (I believe) will also not fundamentally have a lasting value.

* it seems obvious to me that silver should be the world’s currency, but that is a different discussion.

The old fashioned restaurant represents alternatives to the beast system – and I will note: having lived in Brazil for a year, I can say that I don’t really like rice, so the point of the food at this new restaurant was that it (to me) wasn’t very good, but was still sufficient and what I needed.

Thus (I suppose), the bard represents the distractions from the world preventing us from getting to where we need to go, and the crowd of people around him represents how many people have been distracted by a multitude of professional distractors.
