The following is an actual dream that woke me out of a sound sleep an hour ago.
Warning: Some people might find it disturbing.
I found myself with my kids in a large camp used as a family-friendly retreat center. My wife, for some unknown reason, had not come with us. The place was thronged with people, so much so that the first thing I was aware of was that I had become separated from my kids. I went looking for them, through the outdoor crowds and in the various small houses where guests were also milling about, sometimes engaged in illicit activities. There was a vague sense of fear in the crowds but some distracted themselves with amusements.
I first found my son, and noticed that he had already started to undergo a transformation. Usually clean-cut and extremely health-conscious, I found him with a cigarette hanging down from the corner of his mouth, causing him to look strikingly like a certain cousin of his who had sponged off the family for years due to his inability to keep a steady job. My son thought this was incredibly funny.
This caused my alarm to grow and I set off looking for my daughters with my son in tow. Nineteen and old enough to make his own choices, he chose to come. I next found my youngest daughter in an open area. I suddenly noticed that the man in charge of the island was randomly choosing people and, taking a long rope that was lowered from above, looped it once around a person's neck at which time the rope would pull them up. Looking up to see the end of the rope, I saw that, some six stories above, there was a platform that a henchman was pulling the victim up to. The most diabolical part was that another guest on the ground had to grab the rope and pull it taut, further choking the person in the air, because if not then the rope would loosen and the person would fall to their death. My daughter was next in line for this ordeal. I grabbed her and slipped into the crowd.
After more searching, I found my other two kids and told them we must all flee immediately, but I didn't know how or where. Just as I was despairing --and waking-- a stranger appeared, walking through the crowd inconspicuously, and telling people that if they wanted to leave the camp, they were welcome to board his ship at the eastern dock (the camp was an island!). But they must move quickly, because the ruler of the island would shortly detonate a huge bomb, destroying the island and killing everyone on it. The stranger, who was the island's true owner, was about to unleash his private commando force to prevent this and take his island back, and any who chose to stay could get caught in the crossfire. We had a choice: stay on the island and endure the strange mix of tyranny and amusement, or trust this stranger and board his ship.
I was now completely awake, with a renewed gratitude for Easter.

Hi there,
That was a powerful dream from God. I believe that it is a message for you and your family. As the head of your household it is your responsibility to heed these types of dreams and protect, continually, your family. Teach them Godly things.
May God bless you and guide you.

Nice.
That was a pretty good anology for the world and Salvation.

It reminded me of what Easter is really all about, and how we all can use a good dose of reminding:
HERE
quote:
"CHAPTER ONE
Gethsemane is the place of the Great Crushing. �The word itself signifies oil press. �It was the name given to a lovely garden just across the valley from the Temple in Jerusalem. �It was a closed garden.
There is a place called the Earth. �It is the scene of very grievous crushings. �Outwardly it is a beautiful garden. �It is across from the Temple of GOD; but it is a closed-in place, cut off from heaven by a dark, deep valley. �It is a Gethsemane, and it is full of Gethsemanes. �In this great garden there is hidden a cruel, grinding oil press, and multitudes of men and women are being ruthlessly crushed, in soul as well as in body.
I have known many a shut-in garden, beautiful to look upon. �Riches, comfort, beauty, and happiness adorned its outward appearance. �I said with many of my fellows, "How fortunate are those who dwell in this lovely home!" �But my Elder Brother took me on into the inner secret place of the home. �I found it was not a garden but a Gethsemane; an oil press, a place of crushing. �I could not have gone with Him from the outer court into the inner, from the garden into the "shrine of the oil press," had I not known what it was to be crushed in the oil press of my own Gethsemane. ...........

This Dream appears that you are a Christian. And that Your Son has gone out into the World and He has drifted off into the World. The Christian you once knew now had changed and was not pursuing after GOD.
The Island sounds like the coming Tribulation and The Antichrist.
The Antichrist wants to take over the Whole World. But Jesus is leaving a way out for those who reject The Antichrist and Satan. . . Your children must be saved now to be in The Rapture to escape the coming Tribulation that is up ahead of us.
It is now your Quest to try to help your Children to Stay in the Lord and not become of this World or deceived By Satan’s Trickery. .
The Lord offers that way for us. We must keep reminding our Love ones the importance of Salvation and the times we now Live in. to be ready.
