i woke up this morning at around 3 pm[needed to pee], but i have been having premonitional dreams these days and what i see scares me. so after using the bathroom,i laid on my bed and started praying,and asking God for guidance because i'm lacking in my faith[not my faith in religion but my faith in Jesus], dont ask me why because i really dont know why and this bothers me so much because i do beleive,but in the back of my head there is a voice talking saying "what if".i never had the problem when i was a kid [23 now], i dont understand why i have it now. after saying that prayer i went to bed and had the msot terrible dream, there were 3 men:one said he was Jewish, the other Muslim and the last one Christian; all 3 of them were trying to convince me to go with them, what i remember afterwards was crawling into my mother and grandmother's bed. I woke up so tired this morning but in the dream i was so disoriented. Any passages, prayers, anytihng i can do to get back on track?i do pray.

Hey Tiger!
Don't freak out, you will be fine. You wanted a Catholic but you got a Baptist. Let me try and help. We are human and we do have dout at times. You are going through many changes in your life right now and new thoughts and ideas at your age.There are many historical facts about Jesus, that what happened really happened and the Bible just tells us why it happened. Believe sister, there is proof all around you , every day . (look around you and start to see again) Andy

I think your dream simply reflects the anxiety you are having. If you are having anxieties about your belief in Jesus, a dream in which people proselytizing a different point of view is simply a reflection of those very things you have been mulling over during your conscious life - making this a classic Jungian dream.
If there is a message to take away from the dream - the message your own subconcious is trying to tell you: draw your faith from your own life, not stuff you're reading online or stuff from books. That's why your dream-you was drawn to your mother and grandmother - in the face of uncertainty, you are craving the comforts you have already known, the places where you have already known spiritual assurance.
You should probably take your dream-you's advice. Find a way to metaphorically climb into your mother's and grandmother's bed. Why don't you talk to them about your spiritual crisis, and just see where it leads you?

Sounds to me as if the spiritual element in your life is slowly awakening. It has probably been festering in the back of your mind for quite some time now; a passing thought about God here and there, only to become more frequent; only to require more and more conscious and deliberate thought and consideration as time goes by.
Evidently, based on the fact you are now dreaming about these things, this inderlying (and of inexplicable origin?) inclination that is pointing you towards God is now too strong to ignore or overlook.
Put simply, God is trying to get your attention.
This can be a scary time because, down deep, you know that if you begin to invest in your spiritual (which is what you should do), you know your life is about to change dramatically. I mean that in a good way, a very Good Way.
Putting God first in your life is a process that will probably take, a few years at least. Be patient with yourself and with God. Let Him do His work on you.

You are feeling pulled in different directions concerning your faith. All three faiths are of those who follow God. You need to read up on our Catholic faith, read the others too if you feel so called. Pray, meditate and relax. We all go through periods of growth and trial. 3:00 pm by the way is the Divine Mercy Hour. Pray the Chaplet. You will know what you should do soon enough.
Go With God,
Debra

All people have tests of faith. If you are struggling in your spirit, then turn to Him who repleninshes you. God is willing even now to guide you to Him, but you have to be willing to walk that road. I would recommend reading the word, maybe a little more than usual. I will be praying for you, remember Proverbs 3:5-6. God Bless.

Unfortunately, you are at the life stage where you begin to question all the things you believed automatically before now. You will have to find your own answers to your questions, and when you do, the dreams and anxiety will stop, whichever way you decide. Now it is your decision instead of your upbringing. I could tell you to say a novena or a rosary every day or any number of other rituals, but that won't stop the problem until you answer your own questions.

Read a few books at the library on each of the differing religions you dreamt about. Learn what beliefs are required by them. Simply compare them without trying to keep choosing one. This may help.
The dream is not particularly important. Just live your daily life and enjoy the seaon.

Quakers and the Savation military do not prepare any "textile" Baptism or Communion. If it incredibly is purely an emblem then why enable it get interior the way,yet while Communion is what jesus teaches in John6 then why not suspect His be conscious on the subject of the genuine presence and do it a minimum of a week?

Shlane, you are in a sort of dark night of the soul of which some saint s speak , that is when they believe againt belief or doubt like Abraham did. Pray to Saint Michael do you know his prayer?, and also repeat to Jesus many times in your heart 'Jesus I trust in you, inspite of everything"
to Saint Michael say "Holy Archangel Saint Michael, prince of the heavenly warriors, come to my aid" also tell God often, "Dear God I love you"
