Dream About an Earthquake
Question
A few nights ago, I had a very strange and frightening dream. I dreamt that I was in a high place—it's important to note that I wasn't floating, but I was definitely in a high position, like a mountain or something similar in the northern Galilee. I saw the entire Hula Valley and the Golan Heights, as well as the valleys near Kiryat Shmona. I saw that some strange earthquake was attacking the Golan Heights, with a wave rising from the ground, and the whole Golan was moving like a sea. Meanwhile, in the valleys near Kiryat Shmona, I witnessed a huge burst of fire rising from the ground, hurling a lot of glowing stones and rocks into the air. I also saw crowds of people running, many injured and dead, and rockets being fired from Lebanon. In addition to all this, it was an extremely unpleasant sight. I woke up in fear, and this dream hasn't left me since. I'm curious as to why I had such a dream and what it means, as it keeps coming back to me during the day, and I should mention that I haven't dreamt this again. I would be happy to receive an answer because I am really interested in knowing why I had such a dream.
Answer
Hello and blessings,
Indeed, it is a frightening dream, but for you, observing from above the events occurring below, and not being part of the struggle, indicates that you will be saved and survive the war of Gog and Magog and the earthquake that will occur in the land before the end of days, according to the prophecies of the prophets. It is advisable to strengthen yourself with the matters that our sages said, that anyone who engages in them will be saved from the birth pangs of the Messiah. This is their expression: "His students asked Rabbi Elazar what a person should do to be saved from the birth pangs of the Messiah; he should engage in Torah and acts of kindness."
Furthermore, it is beneficial to maintain the eating of three meals on Shabbat, as through the third meal, we are saved from the birth pangs of the Messiah, as our sages state in Tractate Shabbat. Be strong and courageous, and let not your heart fall, you can already prepare the suitcases there in Amsterdam because the Messiah is about to arrive. Good luck—Menashe Israel. I forgot to mention that according to dream interpretation books, the observer from a high place is granted long life.
