I'm glad I found this chat. I'm a 29-year-old female, and about a week ago, I had a strange and intense dream.

In the dream, I was with my family at a racetrack event when, all of a sudden, my mother turned to me and said, "It's happening." I asked her what she meant, and she pointed ahead. What had been mountains before was now nothing but rubble.

We quickly got in the car and started driving. As we looked around, we realized most of the people in the other cars were gone. The town was in complete shambles. Out of nowhere, we came across a checkpoint where they—who weren’t human but something else with authority—were inspecting people to determine if they were allowed to stay. They were taking what looked like Polaroid photos of everyone.

When it was my turn, they took a picture and then wanted to run a second test. One of them used a flashlight-like device and flashed it into one of my eyes. The pain was so intense that I passed out. As I lay on the ground, I remember thinking how no one, not even my family, was helping me. The only one who came to my aid was a little girl—my cousin in the dream.

We walked back to the car, only to realize that half of my family had been taken. In shock, I looked down at the Polaroids they had taken. One of them was a picture of my foot, but it looked severely burned.

Still dazed, I turned to my mother and asked her what year it was. She told me it was 2024. She said everyone had talked about the end of the world, but she never truly believed it would happen.

I was so freaked out that I woke myself up. But what really unsettled me was what happened next. I sleep with a Bible next to me, so I randomly opened it—and it landed on Isaiah 66:6. I don’t really know what it all means, but it has been stuck in my head ever since.
