M,

Thank you for the email.  I am a little confused.  I am extremely healthy.  I have not had any symptoms of ill health for almost four years and prior just sporatically for three years.  I was blessed with spiritual direction to my recovery from FMS prior to 2000.  That is why I had the book published.

The 'man of my dreams' has nothing to do with my healing physically. Do you mean spiritually, if I am not healed of the dreams? Yes, I have had several spiritual unions with my friend in my dreams, not to mention flying with him above mountains, an overnight stay at the ocean, a 50th birthday celebration complete with lace tablecloths and pot-luck, dangling by a rope over a bridge whereas Jesus steps into his body and tells me to trust him and let go of the rope and a camping fiasco where a dam breaks flooding the campground.  I understand your reference to principalities of darkness and deception.  I thank you for your advice regarding prayer and discernment of these spiritual unions. The discernment and the 'little voice' within has been relaying a truth that has nothing to do with the spirit of this man, but a process that I've needed to grow through spiritually. I believe my relationship with him (because he appears to be me in masculine form and because I've never met anyone even remotely similar to me, from my perspective) has been astute in my understanding, acceptance and validation of myself, my ability to handle adversity and my ability to trust in faith and let go of control. My friend has no ulterior motive or intention of harming me.  I know this to be true.  I know I am also a reflection for him and have aided him in a better understanding of himself.  He has never mislead, has always been compassionate, but has made it blatantly clear he is not in love with me.  That was the reason for the plea for help. I can block out the longing consciously by convincing my mind and keeping it occupied, and I've prayed for the dreams to cease, but they have continued. They are not as frequent these past two weeks.  I have a theory that as I'm able to move forward spiritually they will eventually cease.  I can't remember ever going to sleep without first praying. I like your idea of the recorder though.  I will do that.

Thank you for your time.  I am learning from your posts.

I have heard the recorded prayer suggested.
A man who 'died' in a 'fatal' car accident, pronounced dead on the scene and 're-birthed' after twenty minutes, visited heaven and spoke with Jesus.  He has written of his account and now has the book published.  I seen him during a recent interview.  It was extremely spirit-moving and moved me to tears because of his description of Jesus.  I have also been blessed to be in his presence. His 'Arabic-Jewish' appearance (olive-skin) would be rather obvious to anyone, but the description of his 'cobalt-blue' eyes was synonomous. (The color of the oceans at plane level). He also has beautiful, pearly-white teeth that shine and his smile is beyond description.  But when I was blessed with his presence, he had jaw-length hair that was black with brown & auburn and also strands of graying.  His beard was short and clean-cut, but also of the same tones with graying.  When this man was in his presence, he said he had a flowing, white beard.  I thought that was interesting. The point..................Jesus instructed him to always say in prayer, "As it is written."  That was extrememly exciting and significant for me!  Thank you for this post.
