I found this dream: http://all-things-new.net/index.php?showtopic=758

I was shocked to read it. I thought that I was reading my own dream at first. The similarities are striking. Here it is:

<<<<Sudden Destruction of New Orleans - April 2004

(I copied this from a dream site where I posted it several years ago. Take note that this dream was before the Hurricane Katrina disaster.)

This morning I woke up from the most realistic nightmare I have ever had in my life. It may just be emotional, I understand that there are "signatures" to look for in a God inspired dream. But this dream has affected my whole day today, with me thinking of it constantly, so I decided to go ahead and share it with the group.

I live in the New Orleans area of Louisiana. There is a large lake North of the City called Lake Pontchartrain. This lake is crossed by two long bridges. The one the goes across the middle of the Lake is called the Causeway, and is 27 miles long, the longest bridge in the world. The Bridge that crosses the Eastern part of the lake is called the Twin Span. It is 5 miles long. The communities and cities all around The lake are part of the New Orleans Metro area and are intertwined culturally and economically.

In my Dream, My family and I were sitting on the south end of the twin span bridge. There were other people in their cars just sitting there with us, like a traffic jam, buses, trucks, campers, etc... There seemed to be a toll gate type of structure in the down position blocking our way from crossing the bridge. There is no such structure in real life. We were actually out of the cars milling around and talking with the other people when suddenly, KABOOM! I looked southwest toward a city called Metairie, which is actually the bedroom community to New Orleans, I saw fire in the heavens in the shape of a burning ball. A pillar of smoke like the Hiroshima and Nagasaki A-bombs, ascended into the Atmosphere. We were all stunned into silence and Horror. Metairie and half of New Orleans was gone. The fireball settled into a reddish ball of churning fire, that looked almost like the setting sun which was a few degrees to the north of the fire ball. I began to think of the intense heat that was going on and how my in-laws, many of whom live there, were faring. I realized they were probably dead. As I was gazing into this hellish sight, KABOOM!, due west another Bomb went off. In my mind I knew it was the Russians and they had planned this. They had destroyed the Causeway to cut off any travel by civilians and Military. By this time I, my stomach began to get upset at the finality of all I was seeing. Within seconds, KABOOM! another Bomb hit Slidell on the North Shore, another bedroom community where more of our relatives lived and now had perished. KABOOM, Another went off directly north of us destroying a major interstate junction. I-10 and I-12 join at this point. I realized I was witnessing not just a random dropping of bombs, but a calculated and Strategic Strike. The Bombs were not huge H-bombs but more like Tactical nukes. When the one north of us hit people began to panic and jumped into their cars and actually drive North toward the destruction, where their families had just perished. We warned them not to go but many did not listen and drove off breaking through the lowered toll gate. When I figured they were near the end of the bridge on the opposite side, KABOOM! One Hit Five miles away on the North Shore of the bridge. I ran in terror back to my family and told them to get down, because I knew the Shock wave was coming. No sooner when I turned to yell at them, KABOOM, another one hit to the south of us in a town called Chalmette, the Historic Site of the Battle of New Orleans, and a place loaded with Oil refineries. We were totally cut off and surrounded by these weapons of Destruction. I could see the shock
wave coming toward us like a boiling black cloud of debris.

At this point all was lost. I thought of my Internet friends who live in other countries, and wondered if they would see this in the news because I knew it was probably happening all over the USA. I couldn't believe the attack I had read about so much on the Internet prophecies had just happened. It was so sudden! So unexpected! We always in our minds think Oh this stuff is "a few years away". Well it just happened! I was
caught totally off guard.

I dove toward the deck of the bridge and prayed to God, and asked forgiveness of every sin I could think of especially my complacency. I also realized that most didn't have this last minute chance at prayer. They were taken into eternity in a fiery instant. I looked at my little boy and
cried as I saw two shock waves approaching from the north and south. I yelled to him to get down low, and thinking how everything we knew was gone in a matter of a few minutes.

When the Shock wave Hit me, I woke up in a sweat, shaking in fear! Thanking God I had a second chance. It was so real. The sharpness of the explosions and the colors, the emotions, sounds, etc.... In fact I was thinking that I wished it was a dream, but knew it couldn't be.

That's it.

(NOW, let me tell you this, Today the scene at the begining of the Dream now makes sense. There are inumerable cars and campers and trailers here. And the Twin Span is being worked on. Its very conjested as only on span is open for traffic. The Scenario for this dream matches reality now. I feel it will happen. I think it is not far away but, I dont know specifically. I pray that we are all ready when it happens. Let's not bury our heads in the Sands. We Serve a MIGHTY GOD!!!! Follow Him and Hide in Him!!! There is no other way except destruction!)

I've included my dream in the following post. David

Here's the dream that I had 9 days before Katrina struck: http://www.christian-forum.net/index.php?showtopic=1581 I posted it on August 21st.

" On or about Thursday, Aug 18th, I dreamt that I was north of New Orleans approximately 25-50 miles (somewhere above Lake Pontchartrain). I had 2 or 3 people with me, and we were in a house, or motel room with a southern view through some sliding glass doors. I don't remember what drew my attention to the city, but I looked and saw a hydrogen bomb cloud developing over the city. I grabbed the people with me, and had them run out of the room, across the hall to a bedroom, and had all of us lay facedown on the floor in order to protect us from the shock wave and whatever else might accompany it. One wall wasn't much protection, but there was no time for anything else. I was concerned about a blinding flash and radiation, but realized that we were already exposed, though there was some distance to the blast. I remember thinking that I was grateful to be witnessing it at a distance. At that time I awoke.

I tried to forget the dream as naturally I was somewhat shaken, as I live in New Orleans, as do my parents, church family, etc.

I have had other dreams of judgement on this city, including foreign invasion, but never total destruction. I see it as a warning as to what could happen if the people remain unrepentent and the church unsucessful in its mission.

This is my best guess, but I would like to hear if anyone has an intepretation."

I haven't heard of This other fellow but since he lives here maybe I can find him. It was erie reading his dream.

I really believe God gives warnings and there is proof here. I cant forget because all night all when the hurricane hit all I could think of was your dream here one the forum. I couldnt sleep for thinking about it. I finally got up around 4 in the morning and posted something. Other people here on the forum was thinking the same thing also. I feel God had you to to deliver the message and it was up to us to grab the message.
Even today I still have to go back about once a month and read it again just to see how God works.
I want to thank you so much for sharing this with us because when I am down I will go back and read about your dream and it has lifted me up so many times when I have been down. The thought of how it all came about still blows me away with your dream. You know, we hear about stuff like this happening but this time we got to experence it for ourselves and as for me, my faith took a gaint leap.
Kim

I don't know about where you all live, but when the hurricane hit the news channels in Washington were saying that it "looked neuclear" even though it was a hurricane.

I remember not being able to sleep too. i remember praying for David , his family and others. I remember the pit in my stomach. I remember my husband and I praying and trying to help David after it hit ......

just curious David, do you think that the dreams have been fulfilled? Or is there more destruction coming?

God forbid.

You know I woke my husband up also and had him to read about the dream. I felt so emtpy inside from it all. I prayed for him and the area so much. David was new to the forum and yet he felt like family.
I wonder also if you think another or another something will happen.
Kim

Kim, thank you for saying that, I'm glad to know that it has helped build your faith. I thought a lot about the difference in the type of destruction, and wondered why it was so different. Had what I saw occured, there would be tremendous loss of life, worldwide economic collapse, and WW3. It is the grace of God that it was only a destructive hurricane. I say that comparitvely speaking. Here we still date things as pre K or post K. That is huge considering our history of hurricanes.

Miche, I've wondered the same thing myself. If you compare the dreams, He saw a series of small nukes, and specifically said it was not the larger h-bomb. I saw the h-bomb. I would deduce from that that both dreams were from the same source, though different in that important detail. Therefore, in my thinking, they must be symbolic.

However, we found in the aftermath of the storm that oil prices skyrocketed because 25% of the nation's oil is handled here. New Orleans would be a strategic target in the event of a war, and a nuke would prevent us from rebuilding the infrastructure in time. We saw what happened to Hitler's army when we destroyed their oil refining and delivery capacity. Also there are so many refineries around here that they truly dot the landscape, not to mention the strategic petroleum reserve is nearby.

Were these dreams fulfilled? I'd say (due to the timing of my dream) that they were fulfilled, at least in part. I and my family were safely away in reality as in the dream. God forbid that the dreams be fulfilled literally.
