Far-off topic but I'll write anyway

I do not dream frequently. If I do, I'll most probably forget them too. Sometimes, I just remember the general theme, like what I felt, it it was a happy or sad dream. Sometimes, I don't remember anything except the people in it. But, I do have a few memorable dreams.
Last Saturday night (to be more accurate Sunday 12mn or 1am), I slept really late and I had 2 dreams. I was lucid dreaming because I was aware of my dream and I couldn't move.
In my first dream, I was in my room, sleeping. It is the same setting as in reality. As I lay in my bed, I knew there was a blazing ball of fire at my left side. I didn't see it but I know it was there just like we know we are facing the sun or a strong light even if we close our eyes. I wanted to confirm it so I opened my eyes (in the reality, not just in my dream). But there was nothing. There were just my windows and the soft light from our neighbor's house.
So I went back to sleep and I've dreamed again. In it, I was in one of the highest floors of a tall, elegant building. Its walls and tiles are orange. It had an oval shape from the top view. I was up high because of the dizzying number of the spiral of stairs. There were frail, black stairs railing. I doubt it could really prevent anyone from falling to the ground. They are just there for decoration.
In it, I was not alone. I was wrestling with a woman. She was decapitated but I know she was a woman because she wore a black, stencil skirt. I forgot her upper clothes. She looked like a Barbie doll with no head. There was no blood on her neck.
So there I was up there, wrestling with this woman. We were really near the edge. Whoever loses would fall to the ground and die. She was gripping me and putting a lot of pressure on my left hip.
And I grew scared and I really tried hard to move my toes to wake up. When I did, there was a slight discomfort on that area where this lady grappled with me. Mhm,strange.
I pray that I won't have scary dreams next time. I was mulling on the possibility that it is just the caffeine. I don't normally drink caffeine except when I really need to. For the whole week last week, I had been. I was super tired too because the caffeine made me alert all the time.
God can speak to us through dreams and visions but it is not always the case. I have been asking Lord Jesus to reveal if they really contain a message but if they are not, I pray that my heart would let go of anxiety and fear. To be honest, I haven't figured it out yet. But in God's time, I will understand. #GodisFaithful
My only regret was on my 2nd dream. When I was wrestling with the headless lady, I didn't call on to Jesus for help. I called on to God but, of course, no one knows the Father except through His son, Jesus Christ. It is the name above all names. I feel bad for my little faith during that time.
I talked to my best friend, Brian, right after these 2 dreams. And He reminded me of one of his favorite verses: 2 Timothy 1:7.
We shouldn't be scared because God is with us. He never wants us to feel anxious or scared. There is comfort in His presence. I guess it was a great reminder for me to practice what I preach: to trust God. He is the same before, today and forever. #GodisFaithful #GlorytoGod
