The dreams
“But just when he had resolved to do this, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, 'Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary as your wife, for the child conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit.' ”
Matthew 1:20

2 - Reflect
We must not underestimate the symbolic value of dreams: we often wake up confused, maybe even believing that we are dreaming. We may receive news, hug someone we miss a lot, or see someone we lost again. Also, in that limbic zone we can have conversations, act in a way that we did not expect, commit sin. The truth is that we rarely stop to meditate on what we dream, or even to pay more attention and change our behavior.
One day I had got up really upset, someone in my dream had told me that my grandmother would die that week, but I did not give it any importance. The strange thing was that days later she was hospitalized and then died, as it happened in the dream and I, stubbornly did not go to see her. I tried to talk to about it at Mass and tried to find a logical explanation for it but I never found it. Yes, I began to be more attentive, just as the angel had spoken to Joseph, I believe that an angel also told me what was coming. We must trust in God the Father's designs, because He will set our path and that of our brethren according to His divine grace. We may not find answers today or we may be lost, but He will guide us and provide our souls with love and peace.
