Toolite,
I've had many dreams that have manifest in one way or another--- that is to say, that what was expressed conceptually in the dream came about in a way that remained true to the concept. I share this one particular dream because of the unusual way it manifest.
The dream itself was very simple and it occurred only a month or so, ago. In the dream I was pulled over by a police officer and when approached I was told only this--- "Buckle up." I was not given a ticket, and there was no further dialogue.
I awoke and considered this dream, and in thinking on it, on the concepts expressed it seemed clear enough to me... that the dream was in fact a warning. That I was being told to prepare, to gird myself, to protect myself, to stay safe, etc. -And that is just how I took it--- not in a literal sense, like I should drive more carefully or something as mundane as that, but in a greater sense, that something was coming -on the road ahead that I should brace myself for.
A week or two passed, no more than that, then just three weeks ago now, I was out with my family on our way to a restaurant for a birthday dinner. At a stop light, I was surprised to see the red and blue emergency lights of a police vehicle come on behind me as the traffic light turned green. I immediately pulled over of course, and while trying to figure out what I'd done wrong, I realized that I did not have my seatbelt fastened as the law requires, and that he must have noticed this while behind me at the stop light.
He was a pleasant enough fellow and when he asked if I knew why he'd stopped me, I offered the suggestion that it might have something to do with my seatbelt? "You go it, Sir. That's exactly why I stopped you. License and Registration, please. You wanna tell me why you weren't wearing your seatbelt?" --as he observed that my wife and kids all had theirs on...
"ummmmm..... I forgot? You see, it's my birthday and..."
"Are you kidding me? It's your birthday... today?" He looks at my license and confirms that it truly is my actual birthday and says... "Okay, okay... I'm not going to write you a ticket on your birthday.... I'm not going to do that."
He hands me back my stuff and smiles, and he winks, ---and he says-- "Buckle up."
That's it.
Now was that the true and absolute fulfilment of the dream I'd had only a week or so before? Honestly? I've never had a dream come about in almost "exactly" the way I'd dreamed it before, but I really do not think that is what this is about. I don't think that the warning on my birthday was simply the fruition of my dream, rather I feel like it was an "in my face" confirmation of the warning I also received in dream. One acting as an exclamation point on the other.
Kind of like God asking...
"Can you hear me now?"
