I used to get weird vivid visions right before I would fall asleep; lucid dreams; that would involve people being held against their will, looking to me for help, but there was nothing that I could do to help them.
These visions creeped me out. I talked to my very religious sister-in-law about them and told her that I didn't know what to and I wondered if they were signs from God.
She said, no. If these visions were scaring me then they were not signs from God bc God is not a God of fear.
So when I would start to get one of these visions after that, I would just pray to God to take them away. Now I very rarely get them anymore, and if I do, I just start praying.
