Same.

Not a dream; more of a "snatching away" to hyper-reality.

(This is just one of several similar encounters over my life)

I was enjoying a particular amount of success that was bringing me attention from a powerful/wealthy segment of society. Not a life goal or anything, just a side project that unexpectedly took off and in very short time had me standing (by invitation) on one of the world's most famous performance stages.

One evening shortly thereafter, I was "snatched away".

An underling/rank&file brought me before what I can only describe as a high-ranking officer or "General" of a Principality/Realm of Influence (think Entertainment Industry as a Principality). The General was a final contract maker/negotiator; had the authority (from Satan) to grant earthly wealth/desires, etc., under binding contract. Stacks of paranormal contracts all around him for any level of negotiable indulgence desired. Underling was looking for promotion or something and took a chance with bringing me before the General. (There is definitely hierarchy) I was already marked by Christ at that point and we both knew it was definitive in MY heart. General took about a 2 second look at me, scoffed and told the underling "soldier" to take me away. I snapped back to this "duller side of the veil", if that makes sense.

The side project has since consistently presented me with moral challenges that make it difficult to continue involvement. It isn't all bad, but there are forces wanting to use it for malevolent purposes, and I'm not fully in charge as the project is a collaboration of successful individuals.

Anyways. Satan is real.
