I really do not understand what a placebo is either, but I believe you .
As for me... I have had several dreams that were intense and some very soothing...but I have also had many encounters, both good and bad.
The bad ones, are always scary, but the Holy Spirit always wakes me up, its so weird but there is a nudge in my spirit, as though He gives me a warning or a shake in my dream..like Get Up NOW and fight! So of course I do, I begin to pray and rebuke and pray and rebuke...until yokes are broken and then I fall back to sleep and wake up refreshed and empowered...sometimes forgetting the warfare of the night...Thanks for Your Grace Lord!
The most memorable moment was when I prayed one evening. I just asked the Lord to help me in 2 areas of my life and told Him that I was seeking Him, that I needed Him. So I went to sleep, strangly, in the middle of the night, I kept hearing this loud noise. My cousin was sleeping next to me on the floor, so I assumed it was her snoring, and I went back to sleep. But the noice grew louder and louder, and I started to get annoyed but I was too sleepy to turn over and nudge her. Then it was just way to much for me to handle, and I started to realize that the sound was not so much snoring, but more like a bird. Eventually, I realized that it was the sound of a hawk or something, maybe a dove...very sharp..like cah cah cah. So this time instead of ignoring it...I grabbed a pillow and as I began to hit my cousin with it (because I still thought it was her) I saw a presence standing over me, and as soon as I realized who it was, the loud noise stopped... boy oh boy...was I suprised!
I did not see Him with my natural eyes but with my Spiritual eyes... I could feel His Glory on me... .at that moment when I realized who it was, I was instantly calmed, comforted, and at peace... I felt so warm and safe. All I could say at that moment was "thank you Lord, thank you, I love you so much"...i just kept saying thankyou, You are worthy and things like that. And I realized that it is true...Every knee shall bow and Every tongue shall confess that Jesus Christ is Lord...of ALL! It was so amazing and frieghtening at the same time... but I was just amazed. It was such a powerful presence in the room... I am still amazed till this day. There have been times when I could feel the Lord hovering over me or breathing on me as I slepted, which was always so welcoming... but this TIME was the first that I felt Him Whole. It was awesome.
The 2 things that I asked the Lord about... was confirmed by my mother...who called me in the morning from another country... Now that is GOD!!!
Now that I think about it, this is not so much a dream but an experience... but I still hope it comforted you. Remember, never let anyone diminish your experience with the Lord, because the Lord does not come to everyone the same way. Just like my experience from you was different, yours will also be different from theres. It is up to you to establish what it meant! Hope this helps as well. And when I figure out what a placebo affect is...I will let you know..lol
Thanks so much for such a wonderful blog, I really enjoyed it
