> I saw Jesus in the sky in New Mexico after a dessert storm, standing in the clouds. The light shone softly and brilliantly, like it only can in New Mexico, in streams onto the red earth.
Wow. Not to be weird, but, what did Jesus look like? And were you 'on' anything at the time? How could you tell it was Jesus?
In my dream, when I was 10, I couldn't see God's face, but he sat on a throne, and had dark-haired men standing to the left and right of him.
When I was 7, and saw an angel, it was in the middle of the night at home. I opened the door to my parent's bedroom, wanting to go down the hall and use the bathroom. The light from my door swung out and hit my parents' open bedroom door. I tall man (like 7 feet tall, or more) leaned under the door jamb. He was white, made out of a bluish-white light. Like a pencil drawing. I looked into his face; even his pupils were a shade of white. He smiled and held out his hand. Terrified, I ran back into my bedroom and jumped onto my twin sister's bed.

I guess I want to believe that in the long run there's a meaning to all this.bookgurl99
