An amazing and unusual dream about the song, "Let It Be," in 2012
We were discussing dreams last night in the chat room, and it reminded me to write about this unusual dream 5 years ago, while living in Seattle Washington for a couple years. I was reluctant to share it without permisson, but, I don't have Mr. McCartney on my cell phone, since he was in the dream, believe it or not-- out of nowhere this dream happened one morning shortly before I woke up, and has many symbolic meanings.
This is the dream as far as I can remember it, these years later.
In the dream, I was in a hospital bed in an emergency room, which has happened a few times in my life, luckily for usually non life-threatening situations, sometimes involving PTSD stress, or wanting relief from depression.
As I lay in the hospital bed, I was trying to reach a beer on the stand next to the bed, and was not able to reach it (keep in mind this was only one beer). Just then, Sir Paul walked in with a calm, commanding presence, and slid the beer over to me within reach as he walked by towards other patients, and began to chat with the staff and patients there.
As he was doing so, a nurse with blonde hair walked in, who I perceived to be his dearly loved wife of his life and music career with his band "Wings," Linda McCartney. She held out a tray for Sir Paul, as everyone looked on. On the tray were padlocks, the same kind that couples often put on bridges to symbolize their eternal relationship.
As the dream progressed, I chatted briefly with the music legend and mentioned that in high school, and a while after, my brother and I and some friends had a band. (In the band, I only sang once--it was a Beatles song where we all sang harmony, and they needed me to sing).
Since then, I've learned guitar and "Let It Be," is one of the songs that I play on guitar.
As the dream progressed, I asked Mr. McCartney for a ride home to my hometown, which he gave me. On the radio was the song "Let It Be."
This dream is rich in symbolism. For me, the name Paul is synonymous with the Biblical Paul, who taught about the bridge to Heaven, and God's eternal love. Also, I think the phrase "Let It Be," also means "So Be It," which also means, "Amen."
Another connection is that Mr. McCartney had a vision of Mary, I believe, which inspired him to write the song, "Let It Be," but, I don't have the entire story available, and want to post this. A family member also took my brother and I downtown to catch a glimpse of the Beatles back in 1964 or so, about the time of the 1964 Alaska Good Friday 9.2 earthquake, after which, I also had a religious vision, of Jesus, at school in the halls during the Christmas holiday in 1965. If I'm not mistaken, the band stayed at a hotel near Holy Family Cathedral downtown, which is where I attended church for a while, and worked nearby, before returning to the Russian Orthodox Church, as a born-again Christian, in the spirit of the Gospel writings of St. Paul of Tarsus, namesake of "Sir Paul McCartney." The Russian Church also has painting portrayals of Mary holding Jesus. **See Note
The Bible is supposed to stand alone with greater authority than dreams or visions, but these experiences can be reassuring signs from God of His enduring love and mercy.
**I know that this is a born-again Protestant chat room and forum, but, I hope this mention of Mary, something that Protestants do not agree with, will be allowed in the interest of international peace.
