Thou annointest my head with oil, my cup runneth over.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life
And I shall dwell in the House of the Lord forever

And might I add, may the good Lord bless and keep all of you safe and secure.

Thank you bcdreamer and JMR. You are both living angels sent by God to guide me. I will read them properly, also i will read my bible. I feel that this is really good in the preface of my book for it is more in my life experiences whic is full of sufferings/chain of tragedies. I will post it here if decided to part of my preface. Again thank you both of you and God Bless.

I abbreviated and kept applicable parts of the Quote. I have had this same very similar dream lately. Very recently actually, and the ocean was upon us and I was trying to save animals and gather supplies. I dont get to the top of the hill I see right away - but there is no fear of impending doom, only action. The entire dream I am acting and gathering fresh water, pets, kittens, dogs, and trying to get food in a bag and then I am outside and floating in the water - my head above the water but it is not clear if I am swimming although the water seems deeper than my heighth. I am going with the current...and I wake up. Have had this dream about 2 weeks ago..

Whenever I have very disturbing dreams, where evil is present of obliteration of some sense - cant see it but can feel it. I have programmed myself to pray. I will start praying during the most terrifying moment of the dream when there is a definite feeling of impending doom or sure defeat (death or harm) and nothing happens, I wake up usually or on occasion the dream will just end and I will continue sleeping.

Prayer - however I look at Spirituality, Religion, God and what higher power may or may not be - is a strong force. I believe in it - and while death may surely be upon me in dreams or life - I will not be afraid as I have my prayers, come what may.

By Helen Flores (The Philippine Star) Updated October 14, 2009 12:00 AM

MANILA, Philippines - The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) yesterday warned residents in the Visayas and Mindanao against possible flash floods and landslides due to frequent rains triggered by a low-pressure area (LPA).

Pagasa, in an advisory, said that the LPA was expected to bring occasional to frequent rains in the Visayas and Mindanao, particularly the eastern sections, in the next two to three days.

“Residents in these areas are advised to take all the necessary precautionary measures,” Pagasa said.

As of 2 p.m. yesterday, the LPA was spotted some 220 kilometers east-southeast of Guiuan, Eastern Samar.

Weathermen said the LPA was unlikely to develop into a tropical cyclone.
