Experience Description

In a dream vision, I stood in an open area with a group of indistinct people, all aware that we were waiting for God.

God appeared as a man in modern clothing, wearing a light blue shirt and trousers. He sat, and though the lower part of the scene was blurred, I felt He was sitting on a tree trunk. The setting felt like an open forest, though no trees were visible.

God appeared as a man in His late thirties, with distinct Middle Eastern features, styled dark hair, deep eyes, and a well-groomed beard. Tall and slender, His warm, radiant skin and luminous, unwavering smile radiated pure love and acceptance. Looking back, I realize He appeared in the most personally captivating form of masculine beauty to me.

Contrary to what I’d been taught, meeting God felt completely natural and logical. There was no shock or doubt; just absolute certainty that the man before me was God.

The meeting began with a clear purpose: God was there to answer our deepest questions. It felt like a classroom without a physical space. Though I wasn’t allowed to remember the questions or answers, I recall the process. God guided us with hints and riddles to figure it out ourselves, never giving direct answers. Each time, the truth felt simple and obvious, as if it had been within me all along.

With each revelation, awe washed over me. God’s intelligence was profound yet simple, and He clearly enjoyed the process. Each time I got it right, His joy radiated—He was truly thrilled.

While learning in this divine classroom, I was also baking flatbread unlike anything in this world, using a circular oven about the size of a small room. One of my sisters, who is still living, stood behind my right shoulder, helping as I carefully flipped each piece to golden perfection. As I finished the last batch, I realized our time with God was nearly over. I rushed to catch Him before He left. I had one urgent question I couldn’t miss the chance to ask.

Interestingly, this was the only question I was actually allowed to remember along with the answer. I was now standing at my closest point to God, who stood before me, giving extra attention to answer my question.

I asked, strangely in Arabic: "Is a human being predestined or free to choose?" ("هل الإنسان مُسير أم مُخير؟"). I immediately felt it was a cliché and regretted wasting such a precious moment by asking an overanalyzed question. God replied in pure Egyptian Arabic: "What does it mean?" ("يعني أية؟"). I understood He wanted to know what the question meant to me, so I clarified in English: "Do I have free will, or is everything set in stone?" He answered, "You always have free will!"

Interestingly, the last message I received from God was "free will."

Two years after the vision, during a family gathering, my nieces asked me the very same question: "Are we destined or free to choose?" I felt deeply honored to share with them the answer I had once received from the Source.

When the class began, I was filled with awe at the divine intelligence—each answer stirred a new sense of wonder.

God, Spiritual and Religion:

What was your religion prior to your experience? Liberal
Spiritual

Have your religious practices changed? Yes
This dream has undoubtedly become the cornerstone of my spiritual journey. The awakening, in general, has profoundly impacted every aspect of my life. It’s an ongoing journey—one that will continue until my very last breath. I will keep striving to evolve spiritually and to leave behind the best legacy I can. My spiritual path is not just a personal quest; it is my vocation and my daily work.

What is your religion now? Liberal

Did your experience include features consistent with your earthly beliefs? Absolutely—the encounter was all about knowledge and understanding. I received universal wisdom and answers during the dream, directly from the Source. While I may not recall it in this physical reality, I’m certain it resides within me.

Did you have a change in your values and beliefs because of your experience? Yes
I had gone through my spiritual awakening a year before this dream. I don’t know— I feel that this encounter holds effects beyond what I can comprehend at this earthly level of awareness. But what I do know for certain that this dream has become a place of inner refuge—a sacred space I return to again and again, to remind me of those profound moments with God—the Source.
