My son died from a car accident. He came to my husband in a dream and told him about Heaven. Soon after my husband joined RCIA and became Catholic. 💙

If you wake up at 3 am- just say a divine mercy chaplet! It’ll put ya back at ease and sleep! I’ve also heard if you wake unexpectedly, you should pray for poor souls, or whomever pops into your head. Glory Be’s and Gregorian chant music put me to sleep every time!

[@itziahurtado]

I believe our Lord wakes us up to pray as well.

[@ratatoskr9366]

That's a great idea! I've been having trouble sleeping lately and actually have been listening to gregorian chants and listening to the rosary in latin. But I'll try a divine mercy chaplet if I can't sleep tonight haha thanks!

So true, offer the Divine Mercy to our Lord to use how he sees fit

I've had 2 dreams in my life that were clearly spiritual. The first one happened when I was a young child about 6 and was so real I didn't think for a second it was a dream and maybe it wasn't but I laid in my bed trying to go to sleep and I was facing my closet door. I hadn't gone to sleep yet and my room was very dark when all of a sudden a bright warm light shown inside my closet then I watched it dim down to no light again then the door opens and out walked a beautiful lady dressed in a long white dress with blond hair and her skin was smooth an perfect. I wasn't afraid at all and just curious but I stayed in my bed. She walked over to me and reached down and picked me up out of my bed and held me tight and spun me around slowly and I remember feeling her dress on my hands and it felt like silk material it was lovely and I had this overwhelming sense of peace. She smiled like she was happy to see me but places me back into my bed gently and placed her hand on my shoulder and bent down and whispered something into my ear before going back into my closet and closing the door behind her. The light got very bright again and then went out quickly and it was all dark in my room again. I jumped up out of bed and ran and opened my closet door again to find her but when I did there was nothing but my clothes in there. I immediately ran into my parents room all excited and told them what had happened but of course they didn't believe me and thought I'd just had a dream and out me back to bed. To this day I cannot remember what she whispered in my ear. It's silent. Everything was so silent. She didn't even make noise when she moved. I am now in RCIA classes to become Catholic btw 😊

I had a dream that I confessed my sins to Padre Pio before I ever knew who he was. When I woke up I turned on EWTN and there was a cartoon playing that was all about Padre Pio and it talked about how he spent hours each day listening to confessions. I went to confession as fast as possible after that dream and have been going regularly ever since! I ask for Padre Pio's intercession often.

[@tinakathleen8571]

Saint Padre Pio has a habit of doing this. I had a similar experience but in my dream he appeared to me giving me a parcel of lamb to eat. I had been vegan 10 years and very ill and knew nothing of this saint before this. Since then I changed my diet and realised heaven helps us when we are lost and trying. Now I know we are called to fast twice a week and refrain from meat on Fridays b7t that meat is an important part of our diet. Symbolically also it seems like he was offering me the lamb of God to accept. Which I did and my prayer life improved then on. Months later he appeared again offering me fish.

I don’t want to share too much but I “dreamed” of Marie Rose Theron and Jesus was there. It was the most amazing dream. I also went to hell in a “dream”. I promise you, you don’t want to go there. Both changed my life.

[@irisyoung690]

Age 6-7 I prayed to God that if he was real to reveal himself in a dream. I was walking in a valley with bones littering the floor, it was very dry and brittle but the sky had dark clouds. Behind me there was a raging storm and in front was a large cemetery with a temple that stood on the highest part. So I went up the many stairs and walked inside to see Jesus, Mary and 12 men in white robes. I was amazed to see them and for whatever reason turned my head away to look outside and saw what was once a dessert was now a lush garden. The sun was up and from the temple sprang out a waterfall that flowed down into the valley. So I left the temple and followed it. It eventually split into two rivers that pass through 2 villages. Now the villages had the same amount of people and the same number of huts. The sun had set and the moon came out and it was full, both the inhabitants went to draw water from their respective river. Then the moon turned red, one of the rivers turned to red as well. And the people of that river drank from it and wrenched while their mouth and eyes turned red.

My daughter has always had nightmares since she was 2 or 3 years old and she would dream some terrible things that would happen to her father and maybe once to me. She never had seen any horror movies or anything like that and my husband and I always became frightened by those dreams since she was so little. She has since has had visions of bad things and shadows but she has prayed for it to go and it stops but when she is stressed it seems to happen. She recently got her new place and is pregnant and saw a shadow of like a man looking away from her towards the wall with his hands together like praying. She was frightened and had like a panic attack but I told her maybe it’s a soul needing prayers or God sending you a sign to get closer to him. She believes in God but questions his word(bible). I pray for her full conversion. 🙏🏻

My great grandfather came to me when he passed. He sat on the end of my bed. He said I have to leave now. I love you take care of your grandma she's going to need you now. I swear I felt his hand pat my leg. Then he was gone. I was 11. I had been suffering from guilt. I was spending the night with them and my mother came in the middle of the night to get me. He fell and my grandmother need me to help her pick him up. I wasn't there. He went to the hospital. Riddled with cancer in his stomach and on his mouth where he held his pipe. He passed right after midnight. October 31/ November 1.

[@raywest7222]

I had a dream Christ was speaking to me and said "you see the door? It is open and I know that you will walk through it but not today." I came to find out later that Christ is known as the open door. I'm currently in RCIA. But have been studying the faith for about 2-3 years now even though I've just now gotten into RCA I know a lot about what's going on was all spurred on by Christ himself in a dream

[@ashlings390]

When my mother was dying of cancer in 2011 I had a dream that my brother was looking down at her from heaven and waiting for her. He was only 3 months old when he died but in the dream he was a grown man. The dream played on my mind all day. Three days after that dream my mam passed away.

[@TheDove212]

I need this episode really bad. I don't dream because I don't sleep. On the flip side of that, some crazy things are happening to me during the cover of the night but never in the day. It's gotten so bad that I put a call in to a priest today. Fr. Rich, I sure could use your help too.💜🕊

[@justj2729]

While a priest is your best option, Holy water sprinkled throughout the house would be helpful. Putting up pictures of Mary/Jesus/Joseph in your rooms and burning a blessed candle are good too.

[@valentinafyorh7749]

When we were arranging our house I fell asleep on the sofa for a bit and I saw my grandpa with a red jumper (he loved bright coloured clothing) and I saw him standing outside my house and he smiled at me. For a moment I forgot that he passed away a couple of months before. On the same day my cousin also had a dream of our grandpa wearing a red jumper too. Thank God for that consolation

[@outofoblivionproductions4015]

He was showing you that he lives on. Amen.

I so enjoy your program. I was instantly looking for more programming. I have a lot of insomnia and in 2016 I started to say the rosary. I allowed myself imperfections, but I had to persevere. Now I sleep with rosary beads in my hand every night. Thank you Evelyn

[@Navygrl58]

For over 25 years I have suffered from nightmares to the point I dread going to sleep at night. Sometimes they are so hideous I’m grateful I eventually can’t remember them after awhile, but mostly in the midst of these nightmares it’s a battle of good vs evil with me screaming at the top of my lungs Our Fathers and Hail Mary’s and holding a crucifix or screaming the name of Jesus at these demonic apparitions. It’s horrifying and I wake up exhausted and in a terrible mood. I told my priest and he suggested using holy water in my bedroom and praying to my guardian Angel before bed which I’ve been doing. I always say my rosary before bed also. I can understand nightmares can be caused from stress overload, which I’ve had most of my life, and if you surround yourself with watching twisted movies, etc, but I don’t do those things. It’s driving me crazy. I’m 63 years old and 25 of those years and counting are nights consumed with these nightmares. Can someone please help me , does this mean something spiritual that I need help from a priest with or do I just resign myself to live like this? God, help me and anyone else who suffers with this.

[@paulmartinez2480]

My wife had a dream she was in an unfamiliar chapel. She was sitting in front of the Blessed Sacrament. She said the monstirence was simple but beautiful. It was soiled gold and had Lapis then gold around the glass that encircled our Lord in the Eucharist. Then she saw the Host starting to bleed. So much so she thought it would run out. Then all of a sudden there were many people around her. But they were standing and not adoring. She kept telling them to kneel this is a MERICAL! Then the crowd of people started to crowd her out of the room. She said as she was leaving the blood inside the glass started to recede. As she looked back as she was at the door the blood was gone. She wonders what this means.

[@outofoblivionproductions4015]

Many Catholics do not believe in or do not know of the real presence of Jesus in the Eucharist. Your wife was being shown Jesus' real presence in the Eucharist- body, soul, blood and divinity.

St. Michael, the Rosary, and the Blood of Jesus Christ saved me from a demonic possession dream I had. This happened very early in my conversion to Catholicism. I had no idea what I was saying when I yelled in my dream that I had been saved by the blood of Jesus Christ. I hadn’t even been baptized yet… some dreams are very prophetic.

Many years ago and I forget the year but it was just before the major tsunamis. 3 days in a row I dreamt I was seeking higher ground around the beach here. I knew something was going to happen but I also knew that in my dream the water and waves never came so we would be ok. Low and behold 3 major tsunamis hit other countries nearby and we had warnings that we could have high waves but we never did.

A family friends mother come.to my dreams 3 days in a row and I asked my husband to email his friend and ask how his mum is because I had a strong feeling she had died. He forgot but they emailed him to say their mother passed over from stomach cancer. I dreamt we at local fruit shop and their were tables to eat at and every one was ready to feast but she told me she can't eat anymore. The second night I saw her son's dressed in suits standing to greet us. I thought it was a restaurant but 40 days later we did go to to memorial.Mass for her and her son's were standing bynthe entrance of Church dressed in same suits. The other dream was if her over the fence and as I peered over she was smiling and showing me she was looking after the children there. A few years later we had another baby boy and my brother had a baby girl. Each time she would come again in dream to let me know when a child was coming over. Very special dreams.

[@davidwilkes2100]

I had a dream, I looked down as I was laying and my chest was opened and my heart had been replaced with that of the sacred heart of Jesus & the immaculate heart of Mary. Three saints were vocally present St Vincent,St Louise & St Catherine who’s minor 1st class relics I had been holding on my chest in a requiem prior to going to sleep)asking to light a candle and turn to my right whilst another darker presence was trying to distract /wake me. I felt a heavy pressure on my chest as I woke and immediately thought am I having a heart attack. ( it remain for a few days & went to doctors had ECG my heart was perfect and pains stopped ) It lead me to see if any of the Saints presented or I had a devotion to the heavenly hearts, yes they did and in my case it turned out I was born on the feast of the Immaculate heart of Mary. ( I though ok that’s what the dream was about) Ezekiel 36:26 …I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you and remove your stony stubborn … Fr mark Goring & Scott Hann both came up on KZbin’s as I had the bible verse open one evening explaining the dream to my wife. Ok so I thought that was why I had the dream but 3a few months later I take a picture of a cloud formation above our church after mass as it looked like a face as I looked at it , it looked like a pope holding a papal ferula(rod). Then a notice what looked to be Padre Pio laying in state & possible a large Arch Angel and when turned a dessert landscape with a city or town. Ok hold on, bare with me just a bit. So I had no plans to travel my wife was constantly asking I just wanted to save money. Then an invitation come from a friend in the USA and within 4 days we had a trip planned to Italy holy sites, Medjugorie and Paris. We went to Rome and went to Vatican and saw the Pope For Wednesday audience. Giovanni Rotondo to see St Pio’s basilica but as we were walking down to it our guide explained it was a modern design and the interior is made to look like ribs coming down onto the tabernacle & altar the heart of the church. I nearly fell to the ground as it was “ my dream” I teared up and was quite taken back. We then visited St Michael’s cave. On reflection Giovanni Rotondo was the land scape in the picture. In Paris we revisited Rue de Bac and the Convent of the Daughters of charity were St Catherine had her apparition of our Lady & the asked to have the “Miraculous medal”as it’s know today made. In also has St Catherine’s incorrupt body and St Louise de Merrillac’s remains along with St Vincent de Paul’s heart in a requiem above a side altar. So a few weeks on the 3rd of Oct 2020 I went to 6pm mass and later my life at our Lord Jesus Feet and surrendered my life to him .. for I could no longer do anything without his help. I for my part would go to confession, start trying to attend daily mass and pray more .. read the bible but most of all I would trust. After the dream , from that day I was given a respite from a terrible addiction that plagued me for 40 years …the desire just vanished. I say respite as temptations came back but it gave me time to grow in spiritual strength to not succumb to it anymore. My relationship changed with the Lord like scales being lifted of my eyes and Like the old tv antenna you had to adjust to get a clear picture and I see how He is working in my life . I stopped praying for my needs and trust in Him to Provide and He has. So do I think god speaks to us in our dreams Oh Yes! Ps.I just unpause the show and you go on to talk about St Raphael the arch Angel, because of a seperate cloud pic I took before mass 23/12/20 above our church again it lead me to study the book of Tobit and I believe has captured st Raphael as his image includes a fish and pole. This one includes a second Angel and our Lady & a priest…black clothing before our lady but reaching above her to the sun. (Son) Now you probably think I’m nuts but like the other it linked me to Medjugorie. God Bless

[@piratesapper]

I’ve found that if I have an image in my mind that doesn’t need to be there, ESPECIALLY in bedtime prayers, I can stop and say 1 Hail Mary and *poof* they’re gone.

Whenever I would dream of something or someone evil trying to harm me I would pray the Our Father or St. Michael prayers and the evil being would vanish in my dreams. Is it normal to pray in dreams? Also my daughter will be 22 in October, my son is 23. Both my adult children live at home. My daughter has been suffering from insomnia since her childhood. My son has had an autoimmune disease since he was 16. My son does not believe in God, nor any religion which he dislikes. Since being ill he has lost much weight, lost his hearing been in and out of emergency rooms because of his illness. He has had a few surgeries and use to be on very strong medication. He had major surgery this year to help with his illness. My son works, and will finish college in 2 years. My daughter is a college student and believes in God but not organized religion. I keep praying that hopefully soon my children would turn back to the Catholic faith, could you please pray for my children?

[@MeowyMakes]

Everyone in the comments: *has these beautiful, ecstatic, prophetic dreams* Me: I once had a dream I was at mass and Bowser from Mario was the priest. The only time I remember seeing Jesus in a dream was when I was watching The Incredibles 3, and it was about Elastagirl going on a religious journey. On Christmas, Elastagirl took Jack Jack with her and she basically killed themselves in order to be with Jesus. When they were with Jesus, they saw how devastated the rest of the family was, especially Violet. Jesus told Helen that she was selfish for doing this to her family. Helen's response was "But I wanted to be with you!" and Jesus replied, "I am always with you. But you need to be with your family. That's what I called you to do." Jesus then gave Helen another chance, and she and Jack Jack went back to earth. They reunited with their family, and everyone was joyful, and then the camera zoomed out of the house like a typical Christmas movie ending. I'm not completely sure what exactly this dream means, but one thing I do think God was trying to tell me is that it's not our jobs to decide when our time on earth is up, it's His job alone.

Ive had several odd dreams and id like to share one...that has never left mex a.d nd is still clear. This was maybe 13 years ago. In the dream the pope was coming to visit in our town. He was scheduled to show up at large venue in my area., so I went see him. While waiting outside, I was excited to see several priests flying or floating above me in the sky. I told them I wanted to join them and that I could fly too! ..and they said ok come join us. I flew in the sky with the priests for a while, then all of a sudden, I noticed that the pope was no longer there. The pope was gone...and I was upset and then I woke up. Can you tell me what the dream means? Its bothered me for years, especially with all that is happening now at the Vatican. The pope, just a decade or more later. I hope I'm not too late to get an answer. I also have other spiritual things that have happened to me. Thank you

You're kind of lumping Sigmund Freud and Carl Jung together. The way jung interpreted dreams was all together different than how Freud did. Freud interprets dreams very similarly to the way you're describing but Jung not so much. Freud had a lot of weird sexual obsessions and it definitely came out in his work. He was also addicted to cocaine so that might have been part of it

When I was 10 my recently deceased grandfather appeared in a dream to me. He was packing a suitcase and I wanted to go with him. He said, "No, you have to stay here and take care of Grandma". He then pointed to me and said, "YOU have to take care of Grandma." (Like the Uncle Sam posters of WWII). It took 12 years, but my grandmother had fallen and had several injuries. She came home from the hospital expecting to have a live-in nurse, but the nurse left her because she didn't know she was supposed to stay with her. So, of course my great aunt (Grandma's sister) called us and mom took me to their house. I was the only one who could help her and Grandpa knew it.

As a little child I dreamed Jesus showed me heaven, There was an apocolypes and the world was post war. He came through a door and with his hand He gestured for me to go through the door. On the other side was a city of glass with people walking around, living their lives, all dressed in white "robes". From the bottom I could see us standing at the top of a pyramid. I looked to my side and there were waterfalls going down the pyramid. And I saw fish in the water.

I dreamed three months ago that i was flying over the town of Medugorje. It was vivid. A moth after, I had an equally vivid dream that I stood on a path in a field to the left of Apparition Hill. A week ago I fell into a small. Sleep after saying my daily rosary and the face of Our Lady in the most incredible detail I have ever seen on any face in any way ever. This is at about a time in my life where the odds are stacked against me as far as going anywhere are huge. I think there is some calling here. Time will tell!

I had a dream several years ago THS came to me in the form of a dove a few days into The Holy Spirit novena. It was the first novena since the apostles prayed it leading up to Pentecost. I’ve done it every year and will never forget it. I was riding in the back of a truck with my sister and her boyfriend. My sister does not talk to me anymore since I decided not to abort my child, became catholic, and conservative. She is very lost and we used to be close in our teens and twenties. Anyway we saw a dot in the sky and it was coming closer to us. I couldn’t look away and when I saw it was a dove I also felt it was God. I knew I was unworthy and I felt the state of my soul. I could not look at the dove and put my head down and was uncontrollably crying. I could feel the wind from the wings moving my hair and on my face. My sister kept saying I think He wants to land on you. I kept shaking my head because I didn’t want to do it, I felt not worthy. I waited for the dove to go away. It stayed and I felt that He wanted me to put my finger out. Reluctantly I did and I felt the dove land on my finger but still did not look. I knew the Lord loved me in that moment and after a few moments it flew away. My sister and her boyfriend were in awe and then I woke up. I sat straight up and felt a peace I’ve never felt before. Looking back I try to remember this about our Lord. He is so very patient and He loves us so much. I know this logically because of the cross but to feel it like I did is a blessing. To this day I wonder why my sister was in the dream or if there was more to it. I should probably pray for her more.

You are a shepard guiding us to Jesus, just as you were trying to do in the pirate ship. Pirates were demons and your mission was to guide as many souls away from them to God's light. 🙏👍

It happens to me now when I take naps and sleep too long. Also when I’m low on minerals or magnesium. I also think oppression can happen much easier to our mind and body when we are unhealthy. They can go together. So yes pray and fast but also look at how we treat our body.

I had 2 profound dreams one was that I could fly, but I'm leary of heights. I flew up to exactly as high as Jesus face. For some reason in my mind it was as if I knew that it was 20ft. up. I was relieved that I didn't have to go up even higher. I was at His eye level so right next to His face. Looked down and as if in slo-mo watched, followed a single small drop of blood to the point that it hit the dusty parched dirt/sand on the ground beneath the Cross. All i thought as I watched, we watched...Jesus and I looki ed on together was that, although He shed so so so much blood, so beyond human thought or comprehension ìs the redemptive, salvific power of His blood that a single drop no bigger than a cell (like in biology) is enough to save everyone in the entire world a gazillion times over its power and efficacy is that incomprehensibly dynamic, powerful, potent. This being said for tthe e amount He shed every drop must.y must would have to be for SALVATION but I don't believe it stops there. I believe JESUS suffered to the extent HE DID IN ORDER TO PROVIDE FOR HUMANITY, HEALING, PEACE, JOY, PROVISION...EVERYTHING, EVERY GRACE AND GIFT...ALL THE LOVE WE WOULD EVER EVER NEED.

Wow, when you said Saint John Bosco. One of my fiancés best friends recently had an abortion and even though my fiancés HIGH SCHOOL (and Patron Saint of) it never occurred that an abortion is murder and I explained it very quickly and it en what do you know, that night my fiancé has a dream where there’s a pile of dead babies and Saint Bosco is begging my fiancé to save them.). Seriously, within a week of me making it clear that abortion is murder. And to bring that full circle recently this friend she came over sad, list and confused because her sister had just passed very young from a rare disease that came from nowhere and with the help of the Holy Spirit I was able to ensure her that God wasn’t punishing her and that regardless of what anyone tells her NONE of this was “part of God’s plan”. I explained to her the difference between God’s permissive Will and his Perfect Will as well as that God cries at any death and he would never will the death of anything. I don’t know why bad things happen but I know that they come with the package of His Love for us and him granting us free will and with that free will sometimes bad things happen. He does not Will bad things to happen nor does he joy in bad things happening because God is love but what I did know for certain is that God can take the tragedy of a bad thing happening and bring a greater good from it. For many years I lived my life 100% for me and my grandmother lived her life 200% for me and those things often clashed and the last time they did I had decided to be doing something for me instead of visiting her even though she pleaded (I know, I was a horrible person but I rationalized it by saying I would be there in a few days and could spend more time with her). That was the last conversation we ever had and that night she died alone in her sleep. That reality was almost more than I could bare but for some reason I had picked up a book from the bookshelf for some reason and something fell out. The book happened to be a book of common prayer that she’d sent me when I had been deployed with the army to Iraq and she had placed a note inside that I’d never seen (because guess what, I never opened the book). The note was pure love and affection and ended with the words “Remember to love God with all your heart and praise him in everything you do”. Eventually after I began to pick up the pieces of my life that had been shattered instead of letting it break me I made a vow to myself that I would never feel that way again. I lived my family but I’d always kept them at arms length and me being in the military was a good excuse but that tragedy brought me closer to my family than I have ever been in my life and it continues to this day. I told my mom that whenever she wanted to see me all she had to do was say the word. I live in a different country but I will walk through mountains to get to my mother even if all she wants is to see my face. I talk to her more than any other person (next to my fiancé). We text all throughout the day and I’ve embraced my faith so much. The tragic death of my grandmother who’d been my rock started with making me feel alone in this world but changed to bringing me closer to my family and to my faith than ever before. I know that’s a long comment but maybe someone will read it and find hope. I gave my fiancés friend a really nice rosary that I’d bought but never used (I went back to see how much I’d OIF for it and it was $75 😵 but she said no one had ever given her a rosary and that made me feel so good. She’s bilingual but with English as a secondary language sometimes things get lost in translation but thankfully my fiancés English is so much better than my Spanish so I got my message across the way it was intended. I don’t know where she’s at on her faith journey now but I was able to find a video about Fatima in Spanish and shared it on social media tagging her in the video. I’m not sure what the video said but I hope it spoke to her.

March 2022 I woke up praying the Rosary. I had never prayed the Rosary before this and I did not know how to actually pray the Rosary. When I went to bed the next night I asked God to please let me know what that was all about. I received a visit from Jesus dressed in purple wearing a crown of thorns and he spoke directly to me telling me that I needed to pray the Rosary everyday and go to confession. I had no clue what I needed to confess and I said to him what is it I need to confess and I woke up with a list of things to take to the confessional. Over the month I received several messages and the ones I had no knowledge of them came true. When I left the confessional and returned to my car the song "Amazing Grace" was on the 70's channel on Sirus XM. I felt so blessed and whole after that. There is more but there isn't enough room.

It is so disturbing, much of my life I have been afraid to sleep because my whole life I have had (almost completely) nightmares.

[@fp7923]

Offer your lifetime of ‘nightmare’ suffering to the Heavenly Father in ‘Union’ with the suffering of Christ for the conversion of sinners. Pray the Rosary - a powerful prayer against demonic attacks. Before you go to sleep cast away from you and bind all spirits ‘not of the Holy Spirit’ and send them to the foot of the cross to be judged by our Lord in Jesus’s holy name. Ask the Holy Spirit to fill your heart and ask Our Blessed Mother to wrap you in her mantle and your guardian angel to protect you so you may sleep soundly. That’s what I do and it works most of the time unless there is something specific I have to deal with the next day. We are all in a daily spiritual battle and the devil never sleeps. God bless you. I will pray for you.
