I Saw Fire In The Sky

This was a very vivid dream. The dream occurred on a bright sunny day.
I was walking along a black-topped road. My mother and sister Rosie were with me. We were in an upscale salt-water community, perhaps along the coast of California or Florida. Along the sides of the road were guardrails made of steel rods and thick beams of wood painted white, in keeping with a nautical theme.
To our right a ramp went down steeply to wooden docks holding a number of small pleasure craft. Due to the steepness of the ramp, I assumed there was an extra low tide and the tide was out. Right ahead of us the road became a bridge across the water. The length of the bridge was perhaps 75-100 feet.
On the other side of the bridge was more land and a new two story white stucco condominium development. The condos were upscale without being “ritzy”. The condominiums were flying a number of colorful pendants in different colors to advertise that the buildings were now open for inspection and purchase.
There were some people present, both around the condominium development and on our side of the bridge, but it was not crowded with pedestrians.
Suddenly I looked up in the sky, which was a beautiful clear robin’s egg blue. I pointed and said, “Look”! There was a very strange cloud formation. It was a “Tic-Tac-Toe”. The “clouds” were strung together in a long tubular fashion and looked like fluffy marshmallows, whipped egg whites or shaving cream foam.
There was one long stringy cloud set slightly apart from the “marshmallow Tic-Tac-Toe.” I estimate the length of this strange Tic-Tac-Toe at approximately 600 x 600 square feet. It was “up in the air”, but not high up.
Suddenly, along the whole length of the cloud, the single separated individual cloud burst into flames The flames were vivid and very colorful, in shades of red, green, orange, etc. I was reminded of a presto log that has had chemicals added to make “pretty colors” as it burned. Soon the “cloud” began to have black edges – like a roasting marshmallow.
Just after the cloud caught fire and looked like it was melting, it suddenly fell to the ground in one long piece. It fell right in front of the new condominium directly across the bridge, in the direction that we were walking.
As the “cloud” hit the ground it seemed to slither, like a snake or two kids playing together, jerking on a long rope. Luckily the force of the fall caused the flames to be immediately extinguished and no people, cars or buildings had been hit.
My mother turned to go down the boat ramp, but we had to keep going straight ahead, as our destination was on the other side of the bridge, beyond where the “cloud” had fallen.
As we continued to look up, one of the clouds in the actual “Tic-Tac-Toe” suddenly burst into flames. I knew if it fell onto one of the condominiums, the building might catch on fire. I said, “They are practicing!”
I knew whoever was behind this project would keep on working until the pseudo chemical clouds could not be extinguished when they fell to the earth, but would keep burning. Soon they would be used to terrorize populations and start very large fires causing huge property damage and killing or maiming many people.
As I was writing the dream down the thought came to me: “A laser is what will be used to ignite the pseudo chemical clouds”.
LOL.
Given the range of attitudes evident on this thread, I'd have thought that the clues to AN answer to your question
were lying around all over the place.
LOL, guess what?
I didn't "identify" with your post because you practiced scriptorture, taking a passage completely out of it's context to abuse as a pretext for attempting to justify and legitimize a subjective experience, whereas I identify with proper exegesis and not the brand of eisegesis employed in your post.
Please excuse me if I don't . . . show the deference you seem to demand. Just doesn't fit my reality.
You seem to be a magnet for these kinds of things. The rest of us go through life, mired in reality, and you get all the good stuff.
You're soooo sweet. Thank you.
Some call it a gift.
LOL.
I knew you were the person who posted this thread, and I didn't need a dream to figure it out.
WOW.
What a surprise!
tee hee.
It's rather difficult to assess your reading of my posts . . . especially with such comments.
I'm quite confident, though, that God knows very well what He wants to do with my prayers--whether you get them remotely accurately, or not.
And, I'm exceedingly comfortable with whatever God does with my prayers.
FYI, I don't "demand" anything, but when I run across the blatant misuse and torture of God's Word exhibited in your eisegetical slight of hand tricks, I am required to confront them.
May have been moldy rye bread.
I don't know.
But twelve igloos times 6 chickens equals something.
And, wet birds fly at night.
Silly me.
I'd always assumed Believers were required to obey God.
Those for whom God intended it will have little trouble with it.
I am a bit saddened that you have not observed God's general tendencies in such matters.
LOL. I didn't really expect you to grasp the context of the 1 Corinthians passage that you slaughtered and abused as a pretext for nonsense.
If you are a believer, then repent of practicing scriptorture, and abusing God's Word to try to legitimize a dream as if it is from God with a snippet of a passage taken completely out of it's context.
Your insults and assaults will not detour me in the least from the path my Lord and Savior has laid out for me.
You may be offended that I don't kiss your fanny and bow down in your presence, but rather challenge the errors I have found on this thread, but that is due to the subjective nature of charismania.
Btw, do you know what Scripture says about "rebuking evil", or how to overcome evil?
It would be much nicer if you were more given to quoting me more accurately.
