There are moments in my life where I have felt strongly that I have received direction from Heavenly Father. One way I personally receive revelation is through dreams. When I have a dream that involves revelation, there is a different feeling than my normal dreams.
Often, the dreams that involve revelation also involve metaphors. Sometimes, the dreams are a little more direct. Several years ago, I had a dream. I was in a large city, and there were multiple monsters attacking the city. They were ultimately coming for me. I ran away, and hid. I was far away, in a different city, watching the monsters destroy lives, and ruin the city. They didn't know where I was, but then I realized I couldn't run forever, and they would eventually find me. I stood tall, and let them know where I was, and they all came to me. I let them attack me, I didn't fight back. They brought me to their leader, who brought me to one of our LDS temples. We were a bit of a distance off, but could clearly see it. The leader of the monsters was loudly proclaiming all of my sins to the group, telling them all why I deserved to die. Suddenly, the clouds around the temple parted, and it was bathed in light. I felt a strong impression that I needed to pray for forgiveness and help. I feel to my knees, and prayed. After I prayed, I stood up, broke my bounds, and faced the leader of the monsters. He attacked me, but it no longer had an effect on me. The clouds over me parted, the sun came through, my words destroyed the leader, and the monsters fled from me, terrified.
At this time, there were several things I was struggling with. However, I felt that if I would attend the temple frequently, I would be given greater power. Looking back, it truly did. I testify that God gives us revealed truth in many ways. He will help us understand what He needs us to do, and will bless us as we follow Him. I say this in the name of Jesus Christ, amen.
