First post here.

Over on TM I posted the dream that I had several months ago- involving falling stars becoming missiles - followed by an enormous (and incredibly beautiful) aurora that filled 2/3 of the night sky.




About 3 months ago, my son was dropping me off in Harrisburg. He was headed out to school, and I was going to spend the day touring the Capital and accessing the internet from the State Library.

Before he had to leave for school, we were trying to find the State Library building.

We were walking from Strawberry Square, and located what looked to be the library, on a map. We entered a large building called "The Forum". It was a Sunday.

Neither of us had ever been there before.

The Forum appeared to be of Roman design. Ornate,heavy doors- rams heads or the like for door handles. Inside- ornate depictions of various Roman scenes.

Absolutely empty.

We could hear organ music.

We opened another door, and peered inside a large auditorium (empty)- where a lone individual was playing the organ.

The immediate impression was that of the ending of an Empire.

I don't know why- perhaps it was the emptiness of the place, the music, the Romanesque surroundings, the columns and rams heads and the like....

It felt surreal - and mournful.

Both son and I reacted the same way-- the end of an Empire.

Not Rome this time, but the United States.



Location was Harrisburg, PA.

FWIW

Thank you for sharing. I have goose bumps. We have got to get real close to GOD right now so we can here the truth from him. It is so great you do this with your son. YOU are a GREAT MOM:)

I know the Forum well...I was a legislative lobby chair for the HEC committee on a 2002 state education bill...we had a panel of national figures (HSLDA & NHERI etc) and state home education leaders present our side to the education sub committee there and the place was packed with homeschoolers. The architecture is wonderful and the kids relished the experience!

By the way when the lights are turned on in the Forum the dome ceiling is a classical planetarium !
