3.2 Revelation

Article 78 - Dream

Canon 3988 (link)

Dream Revelation is the belief that the Divine Creator by a messenger of some form of communication with one or more supernatural entities may provide content and message to the prophet when they are asleep in the form of vivid and extraordinary visionary dreams during which the prophet may challenge or question the content and have it verified as proof of its authenticity.

Canon 3989 (link)

A Dream does not have to be predictive in terms of clairvoyance of future events to be Divine Revelation. Instead, there are four specific criteria for a dream to be considered Divinely inspired: (1) presence of one or more supernatural entities; (2) lucid validation; (3) vivid, detailed and extraordinary surroundings and sensations; and (4) clear and unmistakable message.

Canon 3990 (link)

The first necessary criteria of a divinely inspired dream are the presence of one or more supernatural entities such as people who in reality are deceased. A supernatural entity does not have to present itself in human form, but may take some other form to enhance the visual significance of the dream.

Canon 3991 (link)

The second necessary criteria of a divinely inspired dream is a clear and unmistakable lucid validation through the conscious questioning of the dreamer as to what they are seeing and experiencing is real or a dream and the clear and unmistakable confirmation within the dream that it is real. For example, clearly questioning a person present in your dream you know is dead that you know they are dead and a confirmation from them that they say they are not because they are in front of you is a clear example of lucid validation.

Canon 3992 (link)

The third necessary criteria of a divinely inspired dream are vivid, detailed and extraordinary surroundings and sensations that have never been experienced by the dreamer before, or are exceptional compared to any other dreams by its detail and setting.

Canon 3993 (link)

The fourth necessary criteria of a divinely inspired dream is the presence of a clear and unmistakable message including the possibility of several deeper symbolic meanings within the same message and the context of the dream.

Canon 3994 (link)

In accordance with these canons and the most sacred Covenant Pactum De Singularis Caelum, all men and women have the capacity to receive divinely inspired Dream Revelations.
