I had a dream this morning. I went back and forward from thinking it was real, because it was very vivid and detailed to knowing it was a dream. Either way I felt it was important to pay attention.
I was lying on the couch sleeping when I heard a motor. I got up to see what was going on when I spotted a UPS truck coming around the corner of the road. I thought it was a little unusual because I live on a little country road just outside of town and I don't order from somewhere that uses UPS only shipping because they have a hard time finding my house and the packages are left elsewhere.
As I was watching I noticed a rather large package was being carted out and set up on the bank behind my house. When it was opened up there was something along the lines of a large radio. From what I could hear of the conversation of those up there (now it was more than just a single delivery man) I got the impression this radio was something being used to keep track of and spy on people. I heard a mention of the Census people as well. Like the excuse was to keep the Census takers safe when they came back through. (In real life when the Census takers came through there was one that was brutally murdered and strung up somewhere close to my area maybe a state over. The official report was suicide . . . )
Then I noticed two men up there talking with each other. They were almost like parodies of what they were supposed to represent. One was like an old testament prophet complete with long white hair and beard and robes. The other was a modern Christian who looked a little like a hippie. He came off a bit on the ignorant side. Like he didn't really understand spiritual truths and was more parroting things he's heard. They were having a conversation. It was like the prophet was trying to teach things to the Christian, and he was having a hard time understanding. I remember the Christian asking the prophet if he had been baptized at one point. I also remember the prophet looking slightly annoyed, but still patient that he was having a hard time getting this man to understand the things he was trying to tell him. Although I heard the conversation in my dream, I've forgotten much of it. Though at the end they were talking about the cost. How much being a Christian would cost us. The Christian man still wasn't understanding the importance of the conversation. Then I heard a very clear voice-over saying, "It will cost you everything." It then flashed back to an image that was a closeup of this same Christian man's face. I realised that it was his head lying on the ground. He had been beheaded. It wasn't the prophet that had done it through. It was more along the lines of, this is what his future was. At this point I woke up.
