Christmas Eve 2018DREAM: I was in an office setting opening a big box, which was a present for me. Inside the box was a fully decorated Christmas Tree -- not just with lights, but with tinsel and beads and ornaments. Others were helping me to open the box, but I had to explain to them how to get the tree out without disturbing the decorations. Once the tree was out, only slight adjustments to the decorations were necessary. I saw my cousin Kyle who is an attorney and she mentioned something about having to hire someone. I looked up and said: I’m looking for a job. She said: That just might work out. The HR representative mentioned that the benefits may not be the same compared to other jobs I’ve held.REFLECTION: Christmas gift from our Lord. Already fully decorated, again, I think I may be more capable than I seem to realize. The job: dreams and spiritual direction. Benefits different than an ordinary job: Back when the extraordinary experiences were more active in my life, Our Lord always seemed to make sure that I would benefit from my “work” in some way. For instance, one man and woman I helped came to my house one day. I had a pool part that needed to be fixed, but I didn’t have the money to have it fixed. The man happened to know how to work on pools and fixed the pool part. Stuff like that happened all the time. Our Lord doesn’t miss a trick!Christmas Day 2018DREAM: I was in a room with Patrick, Germaine, and Jeannette. We were discussing setting up a schedule to talk about the best way to help Veronica. There was an appointment book with two columns. One column was for my appointments, and one was for Jeannette’s. We needed to schedule a total of three hours. Jeannette went first and put Patrick on her schedule for all three hours. I thought to myself, well, that’s okay, as long as we’re working together. But then Jeannette said, okay, Ann, now you can schedule your appointments. I was startled at being shut out because there was no time left within the 3-hour period. It was obvious Jeannette had no intention of working together.REFLECTION: I’d have to say that after my gift yesterday, I did not expect anything further. Today, I am filled with Our Lord to the point that at times I actually have to lay down to share my heart with Him. On and off throughout the day, I have been reflecting on this most incredible gift and I can feel my heart expand as I am brought almost to tears. The emotion is so strong that tears cannot even come, there is just this consuming fire within me. How I love Him!You would think that I would feel discouragement at not being included in the appointment scheduling; but oddly, the opposite was the case. To me, “scheduling” in this dream is a recognition of working with our human abilities, but no room is left for our spiritual needs. I believe Our Lord is telling me that I do not have to “schedule” anything to help Veronica. He will provide the time and the know-how whenever it is needed. This is such a relief and I recognize this as a tremendous grace.12/27/2018DREAM: The only thing I remember about this dream is a voice saying: “Divorce quietly.”REFLECTION: The thought of Joseph and his intention to “divorce” the Blessed Mother quietly came to mind. Quietly so as not to cause her any harm. This definitely is not the route Mark is taking with Veronica. His callous actions are likely to catch up with him 12/29/2018DREAM: I was standing beside a pool that had sudsy water in it. I saw an object floating in the water toward me and said: Is that a ladder? As the object came closer and rose more toward the top of the water, I saw that it was, indeed, a ladder.REFLECTION: I associate ladder with repair work and a climbing up. I believe Our Lord will be sending some “repair” work for Veronica so she can climb out of her dark depths.12/29/20182ND DREAM: A voice said 1997.REFLECTION: I don’t know if the actual “year” is significant. I do understand that Veronica’s “darkness” started many years ago.12/30/2018DREAM: I was going to take Allie to the hospital to have her baby, but I noticed Allie suddenly looked like my granddaughter, Annie.REFLECTION: I hope Our Lord is reassuring me that this baby will be hold off long enough so that the baby will be able to come home with Allie as Annie was able to, and not have to stay in the hospital for weeks as Helena had to due to being premature. Allie has been having so many premature contractions. (NOTE: Baby came early, but not too early. All is good.)01/02/2019DREAM: The voice said: Okay, I guess you can get in some overtime.REFLECTION: Ha! I wonder if this is referring to the fact that today I received an email that I have an interview with the Post Office for assistant rural carrier. Part-time, only Sundays and Federal Holidays. This is the only reply I have had to the resumes I have sent out.01/04/2019DREAM: I saw three green strings. It was almost as if they were planted in the ground about one foot apart, the tops of the strings were floating in the air. The strings floated toward each other then started to tie themselves together.REFLECTION: this reminds me of the dream I had about a year ago. I saw the different colored “strings” that looked like they were in little planters – I felt like they were at loose ends at the time. Interesting to me, that today the “strings” are much longer and coming together.01/05/2019DREAM: (It seemed as if I was watching different scenes of a movie in sequential order.) At the top left of the screen, I saw images and the voice said: He was unfaithful to her. In the middle of the screen to the right, I saw images and the voice said: She and Veronica showed up drunk. Then at the bottom of the screen I saw Veronica frantically looking for her breathalyzer.REFLECTION: This is definitely the scenario of what is happening with Veronica. 01/06/2019DREAM: I had a plate of food which I was going to bring to Veronica. I started down the hallway, but it suddenly turned into more like a cave. I looked cautiously into the cave. The plate of food I was holding turned into a plate of bait. I threw the bait into the cave and saw the nose of a rat poke out. As soon as the rat saw me, he came running at me in an attack.REFLECTION: This makes me believe that the spiritual world surrounding Veronica is likely to become more prominent. I do not underestimate the power of spirits, but I am not afraid of them either. I do believe that our Lord has spent the last 20 years preparing me to help people in dire spiritual straights. 01/08/2019Dream: I was standing on a balcony and someone was standing next to me. I had a concrete block in my hand. I looked below and I saw someone standing in what appeared to be a courtyard. I thought to myself: If I drop the block, someone may get hurt. The person in the courtyard walked out of sight and the person standing next to me said you can drop it now. I let the concrete block go and it fell to the ground and smashed to smithereens. I looked all around and was satisfied that no one was hurt. Reflection: I do believe that the anxiety that has been “holding over my head,“ so to speak, has lost most of its power.01/13/2019Dream: I went to my niece Jessie’s house, for an interview. When I arrived, one of her children pointed a toy gun, like a nerf gun that shoots out play slime, at me. When the child would have shot, Jessie reprimanded the child and said, you don’t shoot at our guests. We went into Jessie’s backyard. I looked around and saw that the lawn was cut and the backyard was cleared of all debris. It must have been very dry out because the lawn was dry and brown. In my mind I pictured how lush it would look if only it were watered. I looked to the right and saw two forts that would be accessed by ladders, one at each end of the yard. The forts were camouflaged with greenery like a jungle. I was hesitant to accept the job because I felt that while I was good at clearing out debris, others would be better at bringing the lawn back to life. I said to Jessie: “I don’t know if I can help you, this yard is already cleared.” Jessie said: “There is always digging to do.” She then took a shovel and went to dig next to her house, but the spot of ground she hit with the shovel was so hard it was like concrete.Reflection: My niece Jessie is truly a good person, but she possesses a family trait of incredible hardness. She has led the charge with my sister Jeanette against Veronica. I just don’t know how else to say it. I wonder if there will be an opportunity for me to help Jesse soften her soil and water her grass.January 15, 2019DREAM: I saw a blanket and on the edges of the blanket I saw beads that I associated as rosary beads. I said to myself: Wow, that’s convenient.REFLECTION: Haha, I feel like this is a light moment with Our Lord. I have recently started to say my rosary every morning when I first wake up because if I don’t, I won’t get it in. 2nd DREAM: I was looking over what could have been a stage with several sections of miniature people. The idea was to get everyone to take a bow at the same time. A voice in the background said: “Good luck with that.”REFLECTION: Boy! Isn’t this how I feel right now. It seems that everyone needs my help, but everybody’s going in different directions. While it’s quite a bit to deal with, I do prefer to be busier than not.January 22, 2019DREAM: I walked into the post office where I was beginning employment. There were a number of people around talking. I heard one woman standing in front of me say: I’m for women, like Hillary women. A man standing next to me responded: I’m like Obama women. Next, I was driving home and I realized that I had a stack of mail that I had not delivered. I noticed Michael in the back seat of the car, sleeping. I figured that I better drop him at home before I continued with the mail.REFLECTION: Who would have ever thought I would be working for the Federal government. While I won’t compromise my beliefs, I will keep my political views to myself and not discuss any such topic at my new job. If I do that, I should work out just fine.January 23, 2019DREAM: I was standing on a bank overlooking a large pond. In the center of the pond were a number of people playing on little surfboards with lifeguards on each side of them so they wouldn’t fall in the water. I was wearing a long dress but stepped into the water. The water felt warm and cozy as my dress clung to my body. I thought to myself oh this is so nice. Next, I was looking to purchase a house. I wanted to make sure that I had enough room for my mom to live with me. I decided that I could have a bedroom in the basement and then that would leave room for my mom.REFLECTION: I am glad I wasn’t one of the people playing it safe on the surfboards. The living Waters are so warm and consoling, but you definitely are taking a risk when you step into them.January 27, 2019DREAM: There was a television screen in front of me. I was watching what looked like a talk show. Veronica was sitting on a couch as one of the guests. She got up from the couch and walked to the front of the screen and said: “Aunt Annie will you help me?” Then she went back and sat down on the couch. Veronica looked overweight and unkempt. Sitting on a couch to the left of Veronica was what appeared to be some type of animal figure which I seemed to recognize. The figure was grayed out, as if it were dormant. Standing to the right was a skinny, scraggly man who jumped up and down gesturing and yelling angrily.REFLECTION: I woke up from this dream at 5:15 AM. I was obviously feeling concern for Veronica and what the dream meant. At 5:30 AM I received a text message from Veronica asking if I could call her when I woke up. I called her right away. Veronica was quite distraught, concerned about evil spirits, and we discussed setting up a meeting with Fr. Ray.January 30, 2019DREAM: I was with Todd and we were delivering an appraisal to a man at his house. The man’s chubby baby crawled up to me. The baby was so hefty that I had to sit down to pick the baby up. I expected the baby to fuss, but the baby cuddled up to me almost melting into my body and laid its head on my shoulder. The man asked me if I could babysit. I told him it would cost him quite a bit since I lived an hour away and I would have to charge for travel time. I looked through a doorway and saw a woman who I thought to be the child’s mother standing with a couple older children. They were standing behind a piano as if ready to sing songs. I wondered why I was needed to babysit.REFLECTION: I sometimes wonder if Our Lord is telling me that I have more ability to help others than I would credit myself. Not of my own ability, of course, but with what Our Lord gives me. I have found that when people are going through trauma, and Our Lord has given me an understanding for them, they express that the comfort I have given them has been invaluable. Well, with the exception of some family members who are not open to my gifts. I must admit that I am still surprised at times that I can even be of help at all.January 31, 2019DREAM: I was working in the office and a woman walked in. She asked me where I was the previous Monday. I said, well, I was in the office. Then I said maybe I had gone out for a short time, but I was in most of the day. She said maybe she had come while I was out. I felt like she was there on behalf of my boss. She handed me a piece of paper which I thought was a review of my work. I took the piece of paper and opened it up. It was a piece of loose-leaf paper with a neatly hand-written paragraph printed on it. Even thought I was looking at it and could see how neatly written it was, I did not actually read the words on the paper.February 3, 2019DREAM: I was in a work setting and had just finished helping someone with their work. I picked up my jacket off the floor and put it on, getting ready to go home. Someone noticed some stink bugs on the back of my coat and started to pick them off and throw them to the ground. I, too, picked one off and I cut the stink bug in half with my finger nail.REFLECTION: I know that when you go into battle with the devil, spirits will attack and try to linger. I also know that Our Lord has made me very spiritually strong and capable of fighting the devil as long as Our Lord is by my side.February 4, 2019DREAM: I was resting and watching my granddaughter waiting for people to get home because I was going to leave on a trip. As I was resting, I ate a couple pieces of candy. I decided to give the baby a bath before everyone got home. After the bath I wrapped her in a towel as people arrived home. Todd and some of the guys were standing in line to take showers. The guy first in line decided he wasn’t going to take a shower and walked away. Todd went in to take a shower. The guy in line behind Todd opened the shower door as Todd was showering and I could see the back of Todd’s head. His body was hidden behind a huge towel. The view of the shower room widened and a couple stalls down I saw a young woman also taking a shower. She was facing my direction and her body was wrapped in a towel as she stood under the shower head. She seemed to be shivering. There was no immodesty in this dream REFLECTION: When people have been open to my help, I have been able to give them very good help, indeed. The sweetness of Our Lord’s touch is so incredible.February 5, 2019DREAM: I was babysitting for my sister Eileen’s children. One of the kids wanted to play a game that I needed the key to open the door to get the game. I went upstairs to find my sister to get the key. She was in the chapel with other family members and a wedding was about to begin. I tapped Eileen on the back of her shoulder and asked for the key. Eileen handed me a box. I opened the box and there were numerous keys, but I knew to look for a key that was an odd shape. I picked out one of the smaller keys and showed it to Eileen for confirmation that it was the correct key. Eileen shook her head, no, and picked out a key that was a similar shape but much larger. My sister Margaret was headed up to the altar to speak in memorial about our mom. I took the key from Eileen and headed back downstairs. Halfway down the steps I turned around and went back up because I wanted to hear the memorial, too.REFLECTION: Today is the anniversary of my Mom’s death. I feel like my Mom has inspired me to talk to Eileen about some of our personal issues in the past that have actually come about. I wrote a letter to Eileen. She did not receive it well. I just have to get it through my head that certain members of my family will have no part of my gifts. It’s funny, because I was thinking how I am actually okay with my family thinking I am “weird.” After all, it is not unusual to think it odd that someone talks to and sees spirits. What is sad is that they are so closed to the idea that it’s even possible. I would rather they joke with me about it than turn to the “your mentally ill” argument.February 6, 2019DREAM: Michael pointed to what appeared to be a long scar across my stomach. He said: It’s really awesome because you can only see it due to the traces of leftover ashes.REFLECTION: Actually, that is true. I realize that I don’t blame my family so much for thinking me odd because my claims have to do with mystical experiences, not “concrete” information. When I think about what my family is doing to Veronica, it seems to much worse to me because they are trying to ruin her in a very concrete way. Opening admitting that they are trying to do their best to break her totally down. How sad!February 7, 2019DREAM: I saw a beautiful diamond ring inside a sparkling little case shaped like the bottom half of an egg. When I was handed the ring, I looked at it closely. It was a huge diamond that was glinting as it reflected in the light. I looked straight down at it and thought I saw a flaw in the diamond. Next, I was handed two fried eggs. Michael came up to me all concerned about what I did with the eggs, like as if I had given them away. I told him I ate them. He said, “That’s okay, then, they’re your baby.”REFLECTION: After the second half of the dream, I am wondering if what I saw in the diamond was not actually a flaw, but a baby encased in the center of the diamond. Is my spiritual life about to go through rebirth?2nd DREAM: I was sitting with some others listening to someone talking about all the nice things another person did. As she was listing out the actions, I realized she was talking about me. I got up to leave feeling self-conscious because I thought she was going to give my name, but then the person smiled at me and said only, “She was a social worker.”February 14, 2019DREAM: I went to my cousin Jimmy’s house. There seemed to be a number of people visiting. I was upset because the people were leaving plates of unfinished food all over the floor. As I started collecting the plates, I noticed that a rubber drain pipe was hanging loose and water was spilling all over the floor. I needed to get Jimmy to figure out how to keep the place from flooding, but his wife, Vivian, said he was sleeping and she pointed to a closed door at the back of the house.REFLECTION: Jim and Viv are the parents of Timmy who was cured of cancer. His was the first “message” that I received from Our Lord about 20 years ago. In the last few months, I had a dream about Jimmy. I think he walked through the living room and then there was a casket and I was told to get tax papers in order. Jimmy helps us with our taxes. Anyway, a month or so ago, Jimmy was diagnosed with prostate cancer. He had to go for testing, but I’m not sure how advanced it is.February 15, 2019DREAM: I saw a number of packages, some big and some small and some tiny next to an elevator shaft. I picked up one of the small packages and tried to throw it down the shaft. My aim was poor and it came right back next to me. I picked up another small one and tried to throw that down the shaft. Again, it came right back next to me. I started throwing the tiny packages one after the other trying to get them down the shaft and I started to laugh as I did it. Actually, I was very joyful to the point of giddiness because it was quite fun. Every single package I threw ricocheted and came right back to me. I was not able to get any thing to go down the elevator shaft.REFLECTION: This dream baffled me. Usually the meaning of baffling dreams come to me during my prayer time or spiritual reading time. This morning, nothing. At Mass, I had the experience of “disappearance” during Gospel again. During Mass I also came to the understanding of the dream. Indeed, over the years I have tried to throw the dreams away over and over again. But it just never worked. And today I am joyful that I have my dreams because they are truly communications from Our Lord. How could I be anything less than joyful? The days of trying to throw my dreams away are now truly gone. I’m not saying that I like be “joyful” about every dream, because some will be quite troublesome. But I am joyful in my relationship with Our Lord.February 16, 2019DREAM: I saw a young boy about 7 or 8 years old. The voice said, he should be in Boy Scouts.REFLECTION: Veronica spent the night at our house last night. She is do so wonderful and it seems that the Courts are leaning in her favor. What she has experienced at the hands of my family is way worse than anything I ever experienced. You can forgive their misunderstandings when it comes to the mystical. But with Veronica, they are trying to unjustly take her children away from her. How horrible! This morning I mentioned my dream about the young boy and the Boy Scouts. I was almost apologetic because I’m wasn’t trying to say that the dream is EXACT. I just felt as if not only would some structured extra-curricular activity be good for her son Thomas who is 8, but also it would be a good strategic move for Veronica because she is the one who is able to get him to his extra-curricular activities. After sharing my dream, Veronica told me how Thomas is so interested in “army” things and outdoor activities. Thomas would love the Boy Scouts and it would indeed be a good strategic move. She said I am playing Chess while the other side is playing checkers. Well, it is Our Lord who is playing the Chess, but I have to agree. There is so much being revealed that brings out how evil and unjust his actions against Veronica are. What a shame the family refuses to acknowledge. At least the Court seems to be seeing through him. If you could just see the transformation coming about in Veronica!
