Dreams

I've just been thinking about the power of dreams and the revelation that you sometimes get through them. A good example of this is Lehi's dream to leave Jerusalem or else they would be destroyed with the people there. Now let's say that you're a bishop or a stake president living in New York City and you dream that you and everyone else needs to leave because the city's going to be destroyed. Would you brush it off and just think of it as a dream the next day? I'm sure when Lehi thought about his dream, the impression continued to come to him, and he thought about this revelation for a few days. Would you tell the church members there that they need to leave their jobs and their homes to move to, let's say, Canada? I don't think I would be able to do that. Preparing in your home is one thing, but moving to a different place with only a revelation and no other purpose behind that would need a great deal of faith.

I don't know if I'd be able to follow a prompting like that, but I do believe I've been warned or told things in my dreams. It is a form of revelation after all.

This wasn't told to me in a dream, but I have the feeling that something good, something wonderful, is going to happen to me in the spring here at school. I don't know if it's ward related, or work related, or whatever, but there's a reason I'm supposed to be here spring semester and I'm excited to find out what it is. So, I'll let you know when I find out. And you're in suspense? Imagine how I feel.
