this dream began at my job. I was walking around looking for my class. my friend who works here was in it as well however i cant remember his role in this one. other people were going from class to class, staff, students the usual. then the dream switched to me at home sitting. someone was holding me from behind but I knew it was a male. I felt like it was a make energy. as I was sitting i noticed some black ball on the floor starting on fire. I saw smoke and thought it was going to burn the room up. I also smelled smoke when this happened and still did when i awakened. going on the burn turned into a hand sized burning cross with jesus on it. then i saw a few others to the left and right side about a foot apart from the first one. the one cross became clearer and turned into a cartoon jesus on the cross with people at his feet grabbing at him while he burned. while this burning was happening I was screaming jesus and the person that held me held tighter everytime i yelled jesus. when the person got too tight on my left hand i started trying to get away from his grip and calling out jesus as well. but he got tighter. he had his hands in my hands. at one point he kissed me on the forehead. I was able to get loose of his hands and turn his hands around and for some reason I blew in them. his hands were not like mine. they both had 6 fingers instead of five. on his right hand index finger he had two rings, one on the upper part of the finger and the other on the lower part. and a ring on his thumb. i calmed down at that point started to wake up. i smelled smoke but it was no smoke in my house. Now what was this dream about?

I hope you'll understand that I will reserve my line-by-line dream interps for articles as the forum postings can get quite long.

Let me ask you this: Do you feel that, in your waking life, there is someone is trying to impose his ideas or beliefs upon you? This would be a male with some sort of authority in your family, usually a father figure but not always.

This is indicated by the following symbols: male energy, being held by him, your hand being held by his, kissing you on the forehead, six fingers not five, rings on index finger, ring on thumb.

Calling out to Jesus reveals that you are desperate to "be saved" and freed from this oppressive influence in your life.

Also, a black ball that catches on fire and smokes, to me, indicates that you might feel impassioned by some spiritual idea but it could lead to some confusion.

The multiple images of Jesus: Perhaps, there is a church philosophy that is teaching you about Jesus but there are several interpretations of the doctrine or gospel that can be confusing.
Cartoon Jesus: Some people might not take Jesus seriously or with reverence.

well, my dad passed over 3 years ago. and i have no living uncles. so the only man it could be is maybe my ex-boyfriend. i finally dont have feelings for him anymore.

It could be the influence you feel from your upbringing.

my church is an awesome church that gives greatly to the community as well as have miracle healings, etc. However, what the say sometimes and how the treat people dont always match up. so that sounds about right. eventhough, out of all the churches ive been to, they weigh better by far

uhm. im not sure if it would come out now. but now that you're saying its dealing with family it could be somethin else that its saying. I was one of the main persons for the last 4 years taking care of my sickly parents. it was a strain, i had health issues myself. my dad passed and lifted some of the burden, however, my sister and I still take care of my mom. still very stressful. thank you for your help on this. its clearer now to me.
