I am glad to share this experience with you, even though it happened in a dream. Of all the dreams I have ever had, this was the only one that truly frightened both my wife and me, because it felt like a revelation of what was to come in the future. Some people may call it a trance, while others may dismiss it as mere imagination. But to us, it was real.
Even my wife became deeply afraid after hearing this dream. I have always had meaningful dreams, dreams that often seem to open my eyes to the future. Many times, what I dreamt has later happened in ways I could not explain. But this particular birth dream was different. It touched our family directly.
I will be open and sincere as I share this birth dream about our first child.
It all began after my wife took in. We had mated as husband and wife, and soon after, we received the joyful news that she was pregnant. As the months passed, we began to expect the first child of our newly formed family. The excitement in our home was beyond words.
We did everything expectant parents are advised to do. We went for scans, we bought fruits, we did the necessary light exercises, and I ensured she took proper medication for the welfare of the unborn child. We prayed, we prepared, and we dreamed of the future. In fact, in the very first week the pregnancy was confirmed in her womb, we had already chosen a name for the child. That is how much joy and hope filled our hearts.
Pregnancy is never an easy journey. There were obstacles and challenges, as is normal for any pregnant woman and her husband. There were nights of discomfort, mornings of weakness, and days of anxiety. There were hospital visits, dietary restrictions, and emotional moments. But together, we passed through them all with patience and love.
In a nutshell, after we had overcome all those hurdles, the time finally came. We were now expecting to see the face of our child in just two days.
According to the nurses at Obiagu, Uturu, the expected date of delivery was the 24th of May, 2020. She had packed her bags, arranged everything the nurses asked her to bring, and were mentally ready. The atmosphere in our house was a mixture of joy, tension, and holy expectation.
Then, on the night of the 23rd of May, 2020, around 3 o'clock in the morning, while I was in a deep sleep, I had the dream that shook us both.
I had fallen asleep beside my pregnant wife on our bed. In the dream, I noticed that I was still on the bed, yet I was somehow aware of everything around me. Suddenly, in the dream, I opened my eyes and looked toward the backyard door.
To my surprise, I saw my pregnant wife coming out from one of our rooms through the centre door. I looked at her and I was shocked to my bones, because I saw blood. This blood was dropping from her private part, falling onto the cemented floor.
As the blood touched the floor, something strange happened. Though it was still blood, it began to shine like stars. It glittered on the ground.
She kept coming toward me, coming closer and closer. Then I saw something even more startling. I saw the head of a child coming straight out from her. I saw the head so clearly. The child had full, palm-coiled hair, grown long and laying sideways on his cheeks, just like the image of Jesus Christ we often see in calendars.
I became afraid. A deep shock shook my soul. I could not move, I could not speak. I just stared.
And then, I woke up.
Was this a dream? Or was it a trance? Or was it a revelation?
At that moment, as I was still rolling on the bed, trying to find myself and return to reality, my wife moved. She woke me fully and told me her labour had started. Without wasting time, we picked up the bags we had already packed with all the necessary things required by the nurses, and we started going to the health centre for her delivery.
You can imagine our fear. I had just dreamt of her bleeding and delivering, and a few minutes later, she was truly in labour. My heart was pounding. My wife was anxious. We did not know whether to treat the dream as a warning or as a divine preparation.
On our way to the health centre that early morning, I kept replaying the dream in my mind. The blood turning to stars. The child with hair like Jesus. What could it all mean? Was God trying to show me something about the destiny of this child?
When we arrived, the nurses attended to her immediately. I sat outside, praying silently, still trembling from the dream. I had not yet inform my wife the full details of what I saw, because I did not want to increase her fear while she was already in labour pain.
It was later, after she had safely delivered, that I narrated the entire dream to her. As she listened, her face changed. Even my wife became fearful after hearing this birth dream of mine. She held our baby tighter and asked me, "Why did you see blood turning to stars? What does the hair like Jesus mean?"
Till today, we still talk about it. Was it just a coincidence that I dreamt of her delivery on the exact night she went into labour? Or was it a true revelation? The timing was too perfect to ignore. The dream came at 3 a.m., and the real labour started almost immediately after I woke up.
Some elders we told said it was a trance, a spiritual vision given to a father about his incoming child. Others said it was simply the result of my deep anxiety and expectation as a father waiting for his first child. They argued that because I was thinking too much about the delivery date, my mind created the dream.
But I find it difficult to accept the second explanation. How could anxiety create such a vivid and symbolic dream? The blood that shone like stars felt like a sign of glory. The child’s hair, like that of Jesus Christ in calendars, felt like a sign of greatness or divine purpose.
Could this birth dream be a trance, a dream, or a revelation of what is to become in the future? Could it be that God was showing me that this child is destined for something special?
I do not have all the answers. What I know is that this experience has remained fresh in my memory since 2020. It strengthened my belief that dreams are not always ordinary. Sometimes, they are windows into the spiritual realm.
As parents, this dream has made us more prayerful and more careful in raising our child. We believe every child comes with a purpose, but this dream convinced us to pay closer attention to ours.
Now I leave this question for you, my readers.
CAN THIS BIRTH DREAM BE A TRANCE, A DREAM, OR A REVELATION OF WHAT IS TO BECOME IN THE FUTURE?
