Fam I had a dream where I had a vision of the Virgin. I need help interpreting

I was on a college campus and there was a riot. I don't remember what it was about, but the police were everywhere and they nearly arrested me but I lied to get away from them and then escaped down a tunnel. In there I found 3 women doing some kind of Hindu meditation and I sat down to join them, but I told them I would practice Orthodox-style hesychasm. I meditated on the Jesus Prayer in my dream and soon felt myself coming out of my body and almost flying through the air, and suddenly all I could see was a icons of the Blessed Virgin and the Crucified Lord blazing with golden fire.

Then I woke up.

What does it mean?

It means you had a dream, Fam

It means stop eating Indian food before you go to bed.

>had a vision of the Virgin

why do you still call her a virgin?

She was a virgin 2018years ago, but after Jesus was born the scripture says that Josef knew her (had sex) and she even gave birth to other children.

Of course she didn't. Stop reading protestant fanfiction.

He said he had a dream, not a vision. But that doesn't mean the dream had no meaning, or wasn't guided by God for personal encouragement. It is important to keep in mind it might not be from God and the Blessed Virgin, and that if it is divine it must be interpreted according to what we already know God desires for us.

Dream interpretation is very individual, and uses symbolism differently based on one's experiences and concepts.

If I had had this dreaam, I would find it pretty straightforward…

Whether inspired or constructed from previous knowledge, the dream is an allegory of the spiritual life.

The campus riot may seem like a BlackLivesMatter or #NeverTrump newsflash, but that is just the present occasion. It symbolizes the chaos and violence of the world. Christians flee the world for the things of God. Under the earth is often associated with Hell, but here, it is a holy retreat. Like the early Church, you are retreating into the catacombs. From age to age, Christians emerge, and always return to the subterranean silence that is away from the world.

The three women are muses who offer a possible solution, a form of natural peace, which the pagans knew. They are (I suppose) enticing, and sympathetic. In rejecting the trio, you reject their well-meaning, but misleading snares; rejecting women sets you contrary modern wisdom, but perhaps they wish you well as you meditate in Christian form.

In using hesychasm, you ascend to communion with Mary, Mother of God, blessed even among women, and have received a greater good than the earthly women you have surpassed. Through knowing the Virgin, you finally come to know the Son, Jesus the Prince of Peace, and found Light in the Darkness.

Thanks anon.

I feel like I should print this post out and read it over a few more times. I think you really nailed it.

I don't think it was an actual vision "from God" in the strictest sense; I think it was my own personal dream.

But I was acutely aware I was witnessing something amazing when I experienced the shining icons of Mary and Christ. I was almost fully conscious and lucid.

I think your interpretation is correct.
