Religious rants

As for what I personally took from that dream of mine was this. A) I came with good faith to learn from another's perspective of the Word of God. I didn't bring my personal Bible because I was attempting to see other's point of view. Having had my own Bible would have evoked bias. B) The Baptist preacher wasn't focused on the scripture as he merely spoke boisterous about the fall of other "wrong" Christians. The others were distrusting of outsiders because of this. Thus they couldn't connect with me on a personal level with Scripture since the reverend commanded them to be on guard or dismissive of anyone not already them. C) Fractures in their own foundation had formed which they were blind to. As their own personal view of God's word were antiquated and heavily focused upon the preacher himself and his opinions. Both of these failed to hold up with the modern needs of their people. The people's focus was transfixed on the preacher's word over God's, meaning they couldn't see clearly the fall of their own faith. D) My trust in them was not reciprocated. As I attempted to bring them round, I too was caught in fallout of the collapse and parished with them.

I feel like many people look at things from one angle and point down at those who arent on their side. I think the true answer is to look for the answer yourself. While i know the bible says to go to church and all that. I feel like you are supposed to be going to explore differing opinions and ideas. Everyone believes differently, but Some people tend to shut themselves off to discourse. Me myself i am still searching. While i read the bible i am exploring topics such as why was God only showing favoritism toward the israelites. I actually found my answer. God was merely using the children of Israel to save the other nations. However the other nations did not wish to obey his orders. But when the children of Israel did not do as God commanded he allowed them to fall treating them the same as the other nations. I found this answer by searching the differences between the Hebrews and Christians. Exploring why the Gods of both testaments are different. I feel the answer is not to remain closed up in one section of faith but explore them all. Unfortunately in an age of deception and wickedness the paranoid person in me questions whether i follow the correct faith. I wish to follow God's true words and im willing to go looking for it. I feel all my other questions will be answered. Some people tend to hit a road block and stop believing. God will reveal himself to me if i seek him out. But if i quit i wont find him.

My best interpretation of Panda's dream would be this: A) He was in pajamas because he's been asleep in his faith up until now. Having recently awoken he was observing a crisis that most certainly needed him and the other people's help. B) Panda-kun attempted from this recently awoken state to interpret the needs of the others, but failed to properly address the situation or understand what was being asked of him. In frustration he quit helping and became defensive and self protective. Putting blame on those around him for the tragedy rather than understanding why they're the victims. C) The point of the dream seemed to be guiding him to do better with assessing a crisis for what it is rather than what it could be. Casting stones at those already dying won't right the wrongs of those afflicted with tragedy. True faith and leadership isn't about being frustrated that one's views are being attacked, but rather what they're still willing to do in God's name under duress.

Ah, dream interpretation is a fascinating subject. They really could mean anything. It sounds to me like Panda's dream was a manifestation of some of his fears. How he sees other religions and how they can be scary. Then the explosion is a manifestation of his anger at other faiths thinking they are demonic. Then the confusion with people having different views and trying to understand other points of view but he has difficultly doing so. The pajamas were a symbol of vulnerability.

Yes i do have a tendency to not see the views of others. I cannot precieve anything from a point of view outside myself, so certain emotions, fears, experiences others have dont resonate with me. In my attempt to understand others i try to branch out and see why people do this and why they do that. When i experience what they experience, my point of view may either change or be reinforced. The last thing I like is being called a hypocrite. I would not ask of others to do something I wont do myself. That being said, my dream imo could be taken as me trying to help people. I have a strong urge and willingness to help. I often times say i wish i didnt care so much about people because it hurts me more often than it helps. But regardless i do it. Even when i know those people are bad people. I think i try to get a better understanding and figure out what causes people to be the way they are and think the way they do. Hence me being in the church, however, i am quick to lash out at those hurting others with their wrongful ways. I dont often take time to see why people do what they do or have the full story. The pajamas could show me being awoken to what i feel are wrong doings. The latin signified i knew what they were saying but i couldnt comprehend it. As i could only understand bits and pieces. The man talking to me showed my interest in what they have to say but me not understanding it yet again.

Most dreams are garbage information the mind is just sorting through. Then there are dreams that are quite specific and deal with things in ways maybe you wouldn't have thought about while awake, in other words that's when the subconscious is at the forefront. I couldn't begin to say if there are or aren't spiritual things in dreams and I'm not so close minded as to say that's impossible either. I remember a dream (I've briefly mentioned it on this site before.) years back that still strikes me as odd. In the dream it was an absolutely beautiful day. I was in the middle of a field of golden wheat and in the middle of the field was an enormous and gorgeous oak. What I remember most was the feeling of peace, the feeling of home. But, then I woke up gasping for air... Pretty sure it was lack of oxygen brought on by sleep apnea.lol But,for how real that dream felt, my mind would've chosen to stay if it could.

seems people are statistically happier with religious, but religion falling off has been a historical trend, nothing modern,, thats why nietzsche did an existential nihilism, it to point out that if you have no religion to explain your lifes purpose or give you step stones in how to live your life, you then must answer these questions yourself, which can be hard and often times depressing. religion gives comfort and fills in the gaps in our understanding, gives us something to fall back on when wer sad or depressed or scared. a big guy always got your back and will always be there to forgive your misdeeds. life is harder to live without god it seems, but not to say that existence isnt worth living either. just have to stand on both your legs through that churning water of life i guess. big surprise, but theres merits to both paths of belief.

I had a dream once where I had no pants while walking in a mall. I had all my other clothes just no pants. I kept trying to hide myself and was self conscious about it but no one noticed. I read that can be interpreted about me being anxious about something and thinking everyone notices when it really was nothing to worry about. At the time I was anxious about something but it turned out to not be a very big deal.

I never had religion-based dreams, they were more like spiritual dreams (a reflection of your recent state of mind, future possibilities, and changes that you have experienced.
