A vision of the future or an over active imagination?

I was a child living in Wisconsin when I had a dream (?) that has haunted me throughout my life. Did you notice the question mark next to the word dream? I placed it there because I am not sure if it was a dream or a vision or if it was nothing more then the wild imagination of a child.


Before I continue, let's define the words dream and vision. The following definitions have been copied and pasted from the American Heritage Dictionary as listed in Yahoos Education database at the corresponding web addresses:

Dream
NOUN:
A series of images, ideas, emotions, and sensations occurring involuntarily in the mind during certain stages of sleep.
A daydream; a reverie.
A state of abstraction; a trance.
A wild fancy or hope.
A condition or achievement that is longed for; an aspiration: a dream of owning their own business.
One that is exceptionally gratifying, excellent, or beautiful: Our new car runs like a dream.

Vision
NOUN:
The faculty of sight; eyesight: poor vision.
Something that is or has been seen.
Unusual competence in discernment or perception; intelligent foresight: a leader of vision.
The manner in which one sees or conceives of something.
A mental image produced by the imagination.
The mystical experience of seeing as if with the eyes the supernatural or a
supernatural being.
A person or thing of extraordinary beauty.


With that said, please allow me to explain the occurance before you make a judgment as to it's designation.

For the record...I've written it off as the outcome of a childs imagination.

I'm a skeptic by nature, regardless of the fact that I'm aware that I may have extraperephrial capabilities; the concept offends my scientific mind, but stimulates my metaphysical soul.



"It was well past dark and everyone was asleep in our home. I couldn't have been older then ten at the time, and I was laying in bed; staring at the open doorway."

"I may have been waking from a dream, or my father was standing in the threshold of the door while I was open eyed and fast asleep. Maybe I was in a trance like state and I experienced a vision...but being a skeptic I can't see how."

"In what ever state I was in, I saw the siloet of a man, and upon closer inspection...that wasn't a man but a demon with a red glow about it."

"As I tried to focus on the creature it's shape changed to a different demonic form that glowed white. Again I tried to focus and sit up and the shape shifted again."

"This time a third demonic form appeared and it's glow was blue."

"I don't remember what happened next, but this dream has plagued me ever since."



Here's another dream in desperate need of interpretation. At face value one could theorize that the three colors red, white, and blue are the colors of the United States flag.

One could also speculate that the three demons represent a Satanic trinity: The Prince of Darkness: The Anti-Christ; and the Unholy Spirit.

The conspiracy theorist might further propose that this dream alluded to a future America that submits to evil and ushers in a New World Order as a predecessor of Armageddon.

Do you see how dangerous conspiracy theories are? It's so very easy to project fear onto a subject that might be nothing more than a young boys nightmare.

Let's see what the Metaphysical Sciences have to say about the dream as found at: http://www.dreammoods.com/

Demons

To see demons in your dream, represent ignorance, negativity, distress or your shadow self. It also forewarns of overindulgence and letting lust give way to your better judgment. As a result, your physical and mental health may suffer.

Door

To see an opened door in your dream, symbolizes your receptiveness and willingness to accept new ideas/concepts. In particular, to see a light behind the door, suggests that you are moving toward greater enlightenment/spirituality.

Colors

Colors in dreams represent energy, emotions, and vibes. First consider what that single color in your dream means to you and your own personal associations and relationship with that color.�In general, pale pastel colors indicate weakness or subtlety. Dark colors represent passion and intensity. Bright colors mean awareness.

Red

Red is an indication of raw energy, force, vigor, intense passion, aggression, power, courage, impulsiveness and passion. The color red has deep emotional and spiritual connotations. Consider the phrase "seeing red" to denote anger. Alternatively, the color red in your dream indicates a lack of energy. You are feeling tired or lethargic.

Red is also the color of danger, violence, blood, shame, rejection, sexual impulses and urges. Perhaps you need to stop and think about your actions.

White

White represents purity, perfection, peace, innocence, dignity, cleanliness, awareness, and new beginnings. You may be experiencing a reawakening or have a fresh outlook on life. Alternatively, white refers to a clean, blank slate. Or it may refer to a cover-up. In Eastern cultures, white is associated with death and mourning.

Blue

Blue represents truth, wisdom, heaven, eternity, devotion, tranquility, loyalty and openness. Perhaps you are expressing a desire to get away. The presence of this color in your dream, may symbolize your spiritual guide and your optimism of the future. You have clarity of mind. Alternatively, the color blue may also be a metaphor for "being blue" and feeling sad.
