Hello Everyone,
  I am new to these forums and have been drawn in by your insight and support of each other.  Bless you all on your path to enlightenment.  May I start by telling a little about myself and where I'm at in life.  I know it's lengthy, but I just think it would help if you know more about who I am.  Maybe you all can help.
  My name is Matt.  I am a 20 year old resident of the mountains of North Carolina, USA.  My whole life, I have known that I am here for a specific purpose.  I have always had a deep interest in the paranormal, supernatural, and spiritual.  I grew up going to church and striving to be a good person.  But no matter how hard I tried to be satisfied in my spiritual walk, I could not shake the deep knowledge that there is much more than what I had settled for.  I won't go into detail but after a series of catastrophic events in my life, including very young and sudden deaths of my brother and my closest friends, I began to question life and my idea of what comes afterwards.
  I decided to put aside all of my preconceived ideas of God and spirituality for awhile and start from scratch...with new eyes.  I was rejected by the Church for this and I stopped going.  After finally shaking off the brainwashing that I had succumbed to, I had a year or two of quick spiritual advancement.  In this time period I was also attacked heavily.  Drugs...alcohol...bitterness... But I could not forget who I really was.  I just KNEW that I was here for a specific and important purpose.  I learned much about the nature of the spirit through strict meditation, some psychedelic drug use, prayer, astral projection, and near death experiences.  The main thing I notice though is how fast this information comes to me.  When I ponder the nature of the soul, it's like BAM! All at once...not as though I am learning these things for the first time, but more as though I am REMEMBERING them.  I can discern truth from lie...sometimes I wonder "Is that the way it works?", but when truth comes to me, I know beyond a shadow of a doubt because I've been there...I’m remembering it.  I have dreams, visions, and memories of higher planes.  In this town, I am known to some as a spiritual leader...and to most as a lunatic.
  I can pinpoint several times in my life where I was ready to give up...to just move on to the next life and leave these people to die.  But every time I got to that point, something would happen.  Sometimes it would be an encouraging dream.  Sometimes, an undeniable voice from within telling me to hold on...that my time will come and I will know what I came here to do, and until then, grow and become strong for my task.  There have been several times when a perfect stranger would encourage me to keep going, just at the right time.  One time, an older friend of mine pulled me aside, and told me that God had spoken to her and she had to tell me.  She prophesied that I was meant for great things for God.  That I will know when the time comes.  That I was going to be with only one woman, and there will be children.  She told me to hold on and follow the path of truth, and I would know what I’m supposed to do when the time comes.
  I moved to Asheville, NC awhile back by myself and I got to a point where I felt lonely, and worthless.  I was ready to stop trying again...  One day, I was sitting on a bench downtown playing my guitar...many people stopped to listen in wonder as I was accustomed to... Then a little girl stopped and watched.  I wondered where her parents were. (She had to be only 5 years old)  She just smiled peacefully, and said, "You're doing good, Matt."  Somehow I knew she wasn’t referring to my guitar playing.
  I was shocked that she knew my name and I stopped playing to look up.  I looked in her eyes and was rendered speechless.  She was an older soul...wise.  I could see it.  I couldn’t say a word.  She just smiled at me and skipped off around the corner.  I sat there confused for a second and then looked around the corner where she had skipped off to, but she was nowhere in sight.  No parents or adult guardian...
  These are just a few of the experiences that I've had in my short lifetime.  I am an old soul.  I truly believe that I am here at this specific time in history to teach truth, or to help people.  I’m just not sure of my specific purpose yet.  I feel that I am in a strengthening, and waiting period in life.

THE DREAM…

One night, after a troubling evening, I was crying out to God for some guidance… To show me why I am here.  Just to give me something so that I’ll know who I really am and why I am here.

I was dreaming normally, when I suddenly woke up… but I wasn’t in my bed.  It was more of a lucid dream.  It wasn’t like most dreams, where you are being “told a story”, it was more like I was conscious and fully aware of my feelings and intentions.  And it didn’t “start” somewhere…it was more like I was entering a story that was already in progress…
  I was standing in darkness…not focused on my surroundings, but on a doorway (more of a portal to the physical realm) that was directly in front of me.  A tall man, who I seemed to know as an elder to me: a spiritual guide that I respected, was standing to the left of the doorway facing me.  He had a serious face.  I was holding a sword in front of me, not for battle, but my palms up, sword laying long-ways across my hands… I was waiting for a signal to begin.  I knew that I was chosen for an important mission.  The man looked at me and nodded once, but did not say anything.  I immediately ran for the portal, sword cradled to my chest, and crossed into another realm.  I was in a hallway, poorly lit, with dirt floors.  It almost seemed to be a war zone…the walls were concrete and there were some small holes in the ceiling where sunlight was pouring through.  I focused my vision and I could see through the walls, where I saw (more like “sensed”) dark spirits tormenting and attacking people in rooms ahead of me.  Somehow, I understood that they were desperately looking for something.  I had to hurry before they got to me.  I could hear the screams and cries for help of tortured humans.  I ran straight down the hallway looking in each room, trying to find the right one, although I wasn’t entirely sure what I was looking for.  I came across a small square room…empty with concrete walls and a dirt floor.  It had one small barred window on the right wall (the door was on the left side of the room.)  I knew this was the one.  I hurried inside and searched the floor until I found the right spot.  I knelt down and began digging furiously with my hands and made a hole that was about 6 inches deep, and 3 ½’x6”.  I gently laid the sword in the trench, and pushed dirt over top of it and packed it down.  Almost immediately the freshly buried hole burst with blinding white and blue light, shining brightly as if the sword had burst into intense flames.  I was surprised and had not expected this… I looked curiously at the light, wondering what would become of it, when suddenly my awareness shifted to all the dark spirits of the earth.  All at once, they had angrily turned their gaze upon me and let out a roar, and left alone the people that they were torturing.  I receive a psychic message from the man that was beside the doorway saying, “HURRY.  YOURE DONE NOW GET OUT OF THERE.  THEY WANT YOU.”
  I scrambled to my feet and ran as fast as I could out of the room, down the hallway towards the portal.  They were gaining on me.  I could feel them touching my back as I took a final leap for the gateway and barely escaped with my soul.

 My eyes sprung open and I awoke in my bed.  I thought deeply about what I had just experienced, trying to make sense of it.  I laid there wide eyed, thinking about it for hours until the sun came up…  It has been on my mind ever since, and have been through several conclusions.  I can’t seem to settle on something specific though… maybe I’m not supposed to know yet.  All I’m sure of is that it refers to a specific mission that I came here to do… I’m just not sure of all the symbolism.
  Is there anyone that is gifted in dream interpretation that can help me with this?

Thank you all for reading, and I wish you well on you’re journey.

Dear Matthew,

Whether I am gifted or not, is not for me to judge, but I will attempt to lay out your dream for you:

You wrote:

One night, after a troubling evening, I was crying out to God for some guidance… To show me why I am here.  Just to give me something so that I’ll know who I really am and why I am here.

If you cried out with complete faith, your answer did come from Creator...

I was dreaming normally, when I suddenly woke up… but I wasn’t in my bed.  It was more of a lucid dream.  It wasn’t like most dreams, where you are being “told a story”, it was more like I was conscious and fully aware of my feelings and intentions.  And it didn’t “start” somewhere…it was more like I was entering a story that was already in progress…

From an eternal perspective...time doesn't exist.  Things happen because we contemplate them, and we are only able to contemplate these things  because they have already happened...Souls like ours live in multple dimensions, and our dreams are the gateways between these worlds where we effect change simultaneously.  Our dimension in eternity is considered just another dreamscape...  We are able to be in this 'reality' in our beds, and our awareness could have bridged the time space continuum and entered another paralel world.  (I have come back from worlds like these and had physical manifestations of battle scars on my body).  (I also don't take any mind altering substances because it actually weakens the soul and makes it more vulnerable...my blessing is that I am always fetched by guardians, I never go alone like you did).

I was standing in darkness…not focused on my surroundings, but on a doorway (more of a portal to the physical realm) that was directly in front of me.

I rest my case on my previous statement....you have just confirmed it with your own words and you see it as a 'physical' realm... (much as I do).

A tall man, who I seemed to know as an elder to me: a spiritual guide that I respected, was standing to the left of the doorway facing me.  He had a serious face.  

He is the Gatekeeper...  Every portal has one and you know them....

I was holding a sword in front of me, not for battle, but my palms up, sword laying long-ways across my hands… I was waiting for a signal to begin.  I knew that I was chosen for an important mission.  The man looked at me and nodded once, but did not say anything.  

The sword you are holding is the sword of justice the Sword of Light...a two edged sword but it has power of its own...a sacred and holy object and since your background is Christian you will be familiar with the comparison of a two edged sword and the Word of Creator.  This sword brings truth and cuts through lies and deceit...in essence you have brought the Word of Creator through this portal.

I immediately ran for the portal, sword cradled to my chest, and crossed into another realm.  I was in a hallway, poorly lit, with dirt floors.  It almost seemed to be a war zone…the walls were concrete and there were some small holes in the ceiling where sunlight was pouring through.  

You ran because you instinctively knew that you had little time in order to bring your message to the dimension you are visiting.  

The sword is cradled to your chest since it is precious to your own heart too.  The hallway you found yourself in was limiting your options...and yet directing you.  You had no choice but to go down the corridor.

The poor light means a situation "not well lit", you were on a need to know basis and there are some things you didn't need to know, therefore your "light" was adquate to perform your task but not revealing all.  Dirt floors means that your feet touched soil.  

This is very important since you needed to be grounded while doing this, or else you would panic and fail in your mission.  The structure reminds me of some bunker.  The walls were a shell of protection for you with light filtering from above, Divine Light to show you the way...yet not reveal all...just enough for you to find your way in doing what you came to do. You sensed the danger behind the walls though...

I focused my vision and I could see through the walls, where I saw (more like “sensed”) dark spirits tormenting and attacking people in rooms ahead of me.  Somehow, I understood that they were desperately looking for something.  I had to hurry before they got to me.  I could hear the screams and cries for help of tortured humans.

Dark spirits were tormenting the people in this realm because they lost the "Word of Creator" the sword you were carrying.  And they were desperate, since the dark forces were gaining on them.  They were powerless without the sword... the Word of Creator".

I ran straight down the hallway looking in each room, trying to find the right one, although I wasn’t entirely sure what I was looking for.  I came across a small square room…empty with concrete walls and a dirt floor.  It had one small barred window on the right wall (the door was on the left side of the room.)  I knew this was the one.

The room you came to was small, square and empty with concrete walls and a dirt floor.

Rooms are areas in the mind of a person(s), in this case it is a place in the collective consciousness of these people, a small room, since to the collective consciousness it was not an important room in their collective minds.  

It was Square...symbolic of the Balance of the Universe and it was empty, because no one gave it enough importance in their minds to visit.  Concrete walls made it protected and strong and the dirt floor provided grounding for whoever would visit.  

The small barred window shows that in the minds of these people the Divine Light which would normally light up this room was "barred" from their existence...probably the reason they were now in trouble with Darkness.  

Right side symbolises the side of Power...where the window is and from where Divine Light should enter.   Left side symbolises the side of submission...to enter one needs to be humble and submissive...

You instinctively knew that this was the place where these people would find the solution to their dilemma.  A small Sacred space in their minds they have been ignoring.

I hurried inside and searched the floor until I found the right spot.  I knelt down and began digging furiously with my hands and made a hole that was about 6 inches deep, and 3 ½’x6”.  I gently laid the sword in the trench, and pushed dirt over top of it and packed it down.

You placed the sword the 'Word of Creator" back into this barren and void room and returned to the people the base of their Power against Darkness.  They would normally have had Divine Light shining through the window, but since they barred the window, they shut out the Light of Creator.

Now you came and placed it smack in the middle of their consciousness, never to be excluded again, since it is buried in their minds as part of their basic consciousness.  You brought back the Light of the Word to them and rekindled their connection to Creator.

Almost immediately the freshly buried hole burst with blinding white and blue light, shining brightly as if the sword had burst into intense flames.  I was surprised and had not expected this… I looked curiously at the light, wondering what would become of it, when suddenly my awareness shifted to all the dark spirits of the earth.  All at once, they had angrily turned their gaze upon me and let out a roar, and left alone the people that they were torturing.  I receive a psychic message from the man that was beside the doorway saying, “HURRY.  YOURE DONE NOW GET OUT OF THERE.  THEY WANT YOU.”

I think this speaks for itself....you made enemies with the dark forces by doing this.  You have brought back to the people the Light of the Word of Creator and the Dark forces are not happy...  

The people you have brought the sword to, has now become 'enlightened' again and can battle the Darkness and overcome it. Your work was done and you had to leave immediately.

 I scrambled to my feet and ran as fast as I could out of the room, down the hallway towards the portal.  They were gaining on me.  I could feel them touching my back as I took a final leap for the gateway and barely escaped with my soul.

After leaving the sword there, you were weakened since you brought no protection of your own...(this is a warning not to go on your mission without your own Source of Divine Light to protect you), yet the Gatekeeper warned you to get out of there and you just managed to scrape through. (next time you visit another dimension, take protection for yourself too...it's very important).  

My eyes sprung open and I awoke in my bed.  I thought deeply about what I had just experienced, trying to make sense of it.  I laid there wide eyed, thinking about it for hours until the sun came up…  It has been on my mind ever since, and have been through several conclusions.  I can’t seem to settle on something specific though… maybe I’m not supposed to know yet.  All I’m sure of is that it refers to a specific mission that I came here to do… I’m just not sure of all the symbolism.
 Is there anyone that is gifted in dream interpretation that can help me with this?

Welcome home.... Your mission did not pertain to this world, because if it did you would not have gone through a Portal.  You have actually already started fulfilling your mission, and you can expect more dreams like this.

 As you will see under my Avatar, I am a "Traveller between worlds"....I believe I have just met another one....  We are instruments of Creator....and we work on a need to know basis, there are things we don't need to know, but we operate in absolute faith.  

And this is our mission.  We effect changes in different dimensions and Paralel worlds...  We are warriors of Light and it's a Dark Multiverse out there.  Read my story under Pandora's box (in the blog section), and you will find that we have much in common.

As an afterthought...it is interesting to note that you are an Earth Sign too.  Perhaps Creator uses us because we tend to be more grounded than other signs,...and therefore less vulnerable against psychic attacks.

Thank you all for reading, and I wish you well on you’re journey.

Now these are prophetic words...your words...  and I wish you well on yours too...  Interesting that you chose this name for yourself on this forum...

Thank you so much Raka.  Your reply is just what I have been looking for.  You have told me many things today that I've been hinting at for awhile but just couldn't put my finger on it.  When I was a child, I was talking to an elder about my life's mission.  I thought I was here to help people...to lead people...  I kept going on and on about how I wanted to save the world and show the truth to everyone...  He then pointed out that It's possible that I'm here to touch only one that no one else could.  I have always remembered that.  And in this "dream", I did feel as if this room represented a single person.  And believe it or not...it's pretty clear to me who it is.  My soon-to-be wife.

  I stayed a virgin and pure no matter who pushed me or insulted me growing up... I didn't date (once or twice but nothing came of it) and I just KNEW, same as I KNEW that I was here for a specific purpose, that I was to be with one woman and I needed to find the right one.  Even in my life story up there, I tell about the woman who prophesied that I would be with one woman... Well, she had elaborated on that.  She asked me if I was still a virgin (with a desperate look in her eyes).  I felt a little uncomfortable, and told her yes.  She burst into tears, raised her arms to heaven and said "THANK YOU thank you thank you father. . yes yes yes..."  Then she told me to stay that way and I'll know when the time is right.  ...And I did.

  I had gotten very lonely at many points in my life and desired companionship, and many times I decided to go find someone... but it could never go further than that.  Each time I even took interest in a girl I felt as though I was betraying a close friend.
  At a very unexpected and non-ideal time in my life, I met her.  I won't bore you with the details, but it was simply astounding in the way everything just came together... I wasn't looking for someone, it just all fell into place as if I didn't even have a choice.  I knew she was the one I was waiting for.  We have much in common, and she had strong faith (or acted like she did) and we were having a grand time...couldn't be more perfect.
 
  I soon began to realize that this was going to be difficult... She has some serious emotional and spiritual wounds that haven't been healed.  I love her very much, and I'm not at all saying that there's something wrong with her.  But she has needed some help (emotionally and spiritually) for a long time, that she just wasn't getting.  Fights would get bad... She would say things that really hurt... etc etc...  There were several times when I was ready to leave.  But again, the same feeling.  I KNEW I was in the right place.

  My role in her life became obvious when she broke down one day and told me she doesn't believe in a God or any sort of afterlife.  She went on about how horrible the world is and how she doesn't want to live here.  "How can there be a God if..."  Which, didn't make any sense to me because I KNOW there is a God.  I have been in his presence.  I KNOW there are higher realms...It is my home.  I KNOW that we can visit them now, but we are just heavily restricted by our ego.  I have done it on numerous occasions.  But the more we talked about it, the more I realized how hard this was going to be.  I don't try to push any belief on her, I just try to encourage her to seek truth for herself.  If she asks what I have seen and experienced I don't hesitate to share with her (which usually does not end up well...)  I count three specific times where I have stayed up through the night with her helping her with this.  I know for a fact that if I had not been there at those times, she would have taken her own life.  After seeing my faith, not just hearing the things I say, but seeing who I am and the way I live, she has regained her faith.  Now, she doesn't really have many specific beliefs, but she believes in God and Heaven and strives to be there.  That's definitely a start.  Seek and you shall find.  And I know she will.  I know that I have shown her things, and touched a part of her soul that no one else could.

  She is in an Ivy league school... Made it on her own steam.  She had an abusive and neglectful childhood, but she worked hard and made it 100% on scholarships and grants.  After this, she is going to Medical School and will become a doctor.  She is a truly caring and nurturing person, and I know that she will do great things for this world.

  I had suspected that this "dream" was about her since the minute I awoke...  I just didn't want to believe it.  Now it's all well and good... I help her when no one else could... She is enlightened alive again...  But the ending.... "HURRY! YOU'RE DONE, NOW GET OUT OF THERE.  THEY WANT YOU."
  It hasn't been easy at all... I have been spiritually attacked many times because of it... I've stayed up all night while she spat in the face of my faith.  over and over...  I've wanted to give up.
  "GET OUT OF THERE" ??  Leave her?  Die?  If I were supposed to return home and leave this realm, wouldn't He have provided a way out?  I mean of course it would not be suicide, because God would not ask that of me.  I can't bear to leave her... I'm afraid of what will happen to her.  And I also don't want to do it if it turns out I was wrong.

  I have prayed and cried out to God, and my spiritual brothers in the energy realms to give me an answer.  In complete faith and humility, I have asked many times over for an answer... Yet I receive none.  It has to be for a reason.  I just can't figure it out... I don't expect you to either, I just thought I'd share this with you.

  You have really helped me understand.  Thank you...  I will read your Blog ;)  I really enjoyed hearing from a fellow "traveler"...Someone who understands.  I do not know any others like me, and I keep pressing on in faith even though I am labeled a mad man.  A time will come on this earth when all will see the truth.  When those who just tried to believe will finally see God and creation for what it is and will not have to wonder anymore.  There are those of us who have ventured far enough to see the truth, against the wills of men.  But the time is coming when all will know.  I believe that time is upon us...Beginning withing the next few years...

No wonder I was dragged in here lol!  Welcome  to MB Matthew

And.... although I do not necessarily agree with the interpretation you have been given I can see that is has done you good. So I will say very little except that your energy is overwhelming and shines out even from just seeing your name. You are not alone there are many like you, but few dare to say or share much after having been struck down so many times...

Peace on your path and swiftness in your remembering xxxx

Dear Matthew,

Thank you so much for your feedback.  Even though it seems my interpretation was talking about something entirely different...lol, it seemed to bring what was in your subconscious forward.  In the end only you could really interpret your dream, and what I told you perhaps just allowed you to pass a few obstacles in doing so.  You are focusing on one aspect of your life and that is the woman who has entered it, and you base all which you dreamed as having to do with her.   Personally I feel there is much more to your dream....but so be it....(smiles).

Just remember that dreams are like the skins of an onion, and I would ask you to meditate on your dream and see if there is not something deeper.  Perhaps what I have told you sounds too far fetched for you to absorb, (I don't blame you...lol), but I feel you have only uncovered the top layer of this dream by attaching the meaning of it solely to your lovely lady.

In the mean time...it seems I will remain the only "traveller between worlds" whom I know....

Go with Blessings from Creator.....
