HOLIDAY TERRORISM -
THE DREAM AND THE PROPHECY
compiled by Dee Finney
3-2-02 - 1:11 a.m. - DREAM - I was in bed - dreaming. In the dream, I was downtown on 12th St.
in the inner city at an intersection. There were a lot of Arab men hanging out on the street. I overheard them
whispering to each other that they were going to be meeting again on the streets when their holiday coincided with
an American Holiday on a Sunday when people would be lining the streets to watch a parade. On that Sunday, a few days later, I was watching from my upstairs window as lots of children lined the street to watch the parade. I saw the parade coming. The Arab men were participating along with the American men and there was lots of joy because everything was peaceful and fun. The Arab men were all carrying stuffed animals to throw to the children. The children were all crowded along the streets, eager to receive new toys. All of a sudden, as the Arab men started throwing the toys to the children, they exploded into huge plumes of fire and black smoke. Children were burning along the streets - clothes and faces blackened. The Arab men kept throwing the toys at closeby houses where windows were open where people were watching the parade. Some toys flew in my direction too. In my horror I started running towards the exploded burning toys, trying to grab flaming toys and clothing with my bare hands and throwing them back out the window and save our home. I woke up screaming. I jumped out of bed and ran screaming into the bedroom where my grown sons were sleeping. Everyone jumped up to see what was wrong with me, and I cryingly told them my dream. They scoffed at me and told me it was 'JUST A DREAM', but there was no way I could go back to sleep. It was too horrible to even speculate on. So I got dressed for the day in a spring outfit of pink and black big checkers - a pleated skirt and suit jacket. It was going to be a beautiful spring day. I planned to be out of town before 11 a.m. - before the parade started. I tried to convince some girlfriends to bring their children and go on a Sunday picnic. I said we could leave by 11 and come back between 3 and 5 p.m. to avoid heavy traffic. But nobody wanted to go with me and I didn't want to scare everyone by telling them my dream about the parade. While I was thinking about how to get my friends out of town, I was up in the attic hanging laundry on the clothesline we had up there. The men in the house had already washed out their own shirts and there were red and black checkered long-sleeved shirts double-hung on the lines. They weren't quite dry - so while I waited for some extra space to hang the children's clothes up, I went over to where my youngest daughter was playing with her stuffed animals in a little wicker baby buggy. I went over to her to see her toy animals. She had the buggy full of all kinds of stuffed bunny rabbits. Some of them felt a little damp from washing - it seemed. So I took them and lay them out in a row by the window to dry - while ominously thinking - "I'm preparing my own children's death by doing this. " I tried to get the dream out of my mind and go take a shower and when I did, someone started spraying me with water through a curtain hanging over the doorway to the next bedroom. I got really mad and went over and pulled the curtain aside. There - on my son Ken's bed, which had a red and black plaid bedspread on it, sat a young woman with dark hair - dressed in black and white checkered clothes. She looked at me defiantly and asked who I was. I said, "The mother of this house and who are you?" She said, "I was told I could sleep here by the people downstairs.!" (She had come in via the balcony door/window) I thought about it a moment and said, "Well, this is my son's room, but he and his brothers went out for the day, so I guess you can sleep here." She sarcastically said, "Well, I saw them leaving the house and I wouldn't want anything to do with any of them." I was too stunned to say anything. My sons were all handsome American men - heroes in my eyes. I went back to my own bedroom and astonished to hear and see her in the hallway, starting a seductive dance to some strange sounding music to attract people to her. I woke up feeling stunned. Here is another dream about Holiday terrorism, also from 2002: http://www.greatdreams.com/wacovst.htm Here is the news from 2002: http://www.greatdreams.com/terrsm.htm Fox news service has this article posted:

In 2009, on Christmas Day, a
terrorist from Nigeria, flew all the way to Detroit, Michigan, going
through two airports, one in Nigeria, and one in Amsterdam, and right
before landing in Detroit, he triggered some kindof device that was
strapped to his leg which burned him badly and threw up smoke into the
airplane cabine, but something must have gone wrong with the device,
because the plane and nobody else got hurt.
On Christmas Eve, the Pope was attacked while walking down the aisle of the church at the Vatican by a mentally ill woman. She was tackled by a large man, and all three of them fell down in the aisle of the church.

A reader responds:
Hi Dee I read your page all through and wanted to try to help out to seek out the correct day your dream showed towards , since we now are past February the year again has begun its cycle of reaching one 66th day in each month , this month has 31 days in it which makes then 3+31 = 34 ( 100 -34 = 66) Now considering that the people in your dream were Muslims I would believe we can follow their minds by their prayers , as the praying necklaces they use , one which is small with ( 11+11+11) = 33 marbels and the other longer one with 33+33+33+1 = 100 . You might ask how this can relate to your dream ? Well this dream said many things I think especially it told you of destruction in a way you might find the day , and if the hijackers of the planes at 911 thought after the same way , then they didn't pick that day by chance but rather, by revelation from God , so that he might receive the Glory so to say , and 11 is the number of God in Islam and as we all noticed , many were inspired to seek out sealed truths because of it being that day . Anyway while reading on your page I looked at the link http://www.jewfaq.org/holidayb.htm which you had placed in May , here it says about Counting of the Omer , i know of this subject to be very important even to me who am not a Jew, as it happend i when baptized into the Mormon church was lucky or meant to be in a strange way baptised exactly on the 7th of april / 14 Nissan last year , this is the day the counting of the Omer stars , so i learned it well , the Jews seek to reach the Kingdom of the Seventh Kingdom , by doing counting , or some at least who really believe , anyway while i saw on the page the section below, I thougt i could find the day in your dream with its help, it was the first time I read about this meaning actually : "The 33rd day of the Omer (the eighteenth of Iyar) is a minor holiday commemorating a break in the plague. The holiday is known as Lag b'Omer. The mourning practices of the Omer period are lifted on that date. The word "Lag" is not really a word; it is the number 33 in Hebrew, as if you were to call the Fourth of July "Iv July" (IV being 4 in Roman numerals). " Lag B'Omer will "http://www.jewfaq.org/defs/begin.htm"occur on the following days on the American calendar:
"I overheard them whispering to each other that they were going to be meeting again on the streets when their holiday coincided with an American Holiday on a Sunday "? Well heres what I think , we can first and foremost forget 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006 those are times meant for other things not terror , yet we do have this year in front of us which would most likely be the closest to your dream considering day to day events around the world as they are at the present . Now Easter /Pesach begins in April and the counting ends in May , since I have looked on my paper which i had while i was counting the Omer last year i do see that its right that the 18th Iyar was on the 11th May last year , yet it was not the number 33 in row of the counting rather it was the 34th (it also says with small text only on this day , 34 begins at eve?), this is also interesting since the letters LAG both in Hebrew values and Greek = 30+1+3 = 34 So I'm not sure if the guys with the other site are wrong or what is the obstacle here , since 18th of Iyar is the 34th of 49 days in the Omer . Also 18 means Life in Hebrew or Death , the last letter of their Alphabet "Sav" has both these meanings in it . Also April is the second month in this year which can make 66 go up into its days so to say . Hence we return to 66+34 = 100 again to return to the seeking of the actual day your dream refered to : April 30, 2002 (Jewish Year 5762) Note the Year 5+6 = 11 , 7+ 2 = 9 :) can be if one wants to This April the 30th day is also the last , thus 30 + 4 = 34 then 4/30 = 66 but this is not close to any American Holiday and it is not a Sunday rather it is a Tuesday , the 28th is a Sunday ? I dont know what is celebrated on that day . but Passover is in the 4th month ?
But one might also ponder upon what the dream meant by saying American Holiday since American = 1+40+5+200+10+60+1+50= 367 (Note Americ = 316 + (An =51) what I have learned is that both the words Evil & Life have the common value of 51 just like my name Cipri = 360+An = 411 :) Sorry I missed the point which was that before 367 comes 366 which is the combined value of the letters in the word " Seven " which again reminds me of the counting of the Omer . Here are two pages that describe it well http://www.jewishpath.org/hdgempesantpauperpeonprincehtml http://www.jewishpath.org/hdshavuoslivingbeyond.html Holiday = 823 , Sound = 824 ? Perhaps this cutout from a tribulation chart might help also ? Wish you blessed understanding :) Ciprian Pater
Hi
Dee i have tried below to give an explanation to what I told about ,
I also took all the days from the past year that I thought of
before, but I hope the schedule below shows clearly how one can find
all the days which represent " 66 " in the 10 months
possible of each year .
Also
April is the second month in this year 2002 which can make 66 go up
into its days so to say . Since March is the first month which had
enough days to account for , thus 3 / 31 = 66
( 31+3 = 34 ) ( 100-34 = 66)
I was in Romania for my
cousin's wedding which took place on the 8/26. The Norwegian Prince
got married as well on this date , the morning after the
wedding I realised something very funny at the time/ I have a strong
feeling for the number 66, Perhaps therefore I realized that the
26+8=34 , I have tried to understand numbers for some time and I try
to think both ways so that 100-34 =66 is a good known fact to me ,
so i thougt that 8/26 =66 , then i thougt that there must be a
66th day in each month. Below are all the dates from the year 2001
which I searched of for this peculiar timeframe , I have as yet not
done this with the 2002 calendar , yet there is always the same rule
every year and that is , that this rule of "66th" day
equation only is possible in ten of the months, Always the first two
months in the year January and February
have too few days to be able to make this outcome 100-34=66
2001,
Jan / 1 only
31 days , 31+1=32
February / 2
only 28 days , 28 +2 = 30
March / 3 :sat
3 /31 =66
April / 4: Mon
4 /30 =66
May / 5 :Tue
5 /29 =66
June /6 Thu :
5 / 28 Halfmoon Fristquarter = 66
Juli / 7 :Fri
7/ 27 Halfmoon first quarter= 66
Agust / 8 Sun:
8 /26 = 66
September /
9 :Tue 9 / 25 = 66
Oktober / 10 : Wen 10
/24 Un day / Halfmoon First quarter = 66
November / 11
: Fri 11/ 23 Halfmoon First quarter =66
December / 12 :
Sat 12 / 22= 66
I may verify all these dates, and also see
perhaps how it can be that so many halfmoons coincided with
exactly these days ?
Bless you my friend :)

NOTE - DISCLAIMER - I was not able to identify a matching Sunday Holiday parade event in America with a matching
Islamic Holiday. The e-mail above might lead to the answer. However, my first instinct was Easter because of the bunny rabbits. Hopefully the dream was just symbolic and not a prophecy for a real event. Calendar for 2002 and 2003 is below. NOTE FROM A READER:
Dee~Thanks
for sharing the dreams,etc. Let's hope it is working a lot of stuff
through the etheric or astral that doesn't have to manifest
here..That is being done. The emotion can be removed from the mass
mind for some things in this dreamstate..saving a lot of more pain.
I avoid parades anyway..:)
((Hugs))

Jerusalem blast kills 9; dozens hurt March 2, 2002 Posted: 5:37 PM EST (2237 GMT) A car was engulfed in flames at the scene of the bombing. JERUSALEM (CNN) -- A Palestinian suicide bomber killed nine other people, including an 18-month-old girl, in central Jerusalem Saturday evening, according to Israeli police and emergency workers. At least 57 others were wounded. The Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigades, the military wing of Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat's Fatah movement, claimed responsibility for the attack. It identified the bomber as a 20-year-old Palestinian from the Deheishe refugee camp near Bethlehem. The terror attack occurred in an ultra-Orthodox neighborhood as people were returning to the streets at the end of the Jewish Sabbath. Police initially reported it was a car bombing because the bomb exploded near a car and set it ablaze. Four of the wounded were in critical condition, hospital sources and ambulance services said. The bombing took place in an alley near a major thoroughfare, next to a synagogue. The area has been the scene of similar attacks in the past year. Palestinians have been outraged over an Israeli army operation that started Thursday in the West Bank refugee camps of Jenin and Balata, the first such actions in the past year and a half. Israeli forces said their goal was to stop terrorists and dismantle terrorist infrastructure. The Israeli army said Saturday it had pulled out of Jenin and positioned its troops on the outskirts of town. Palestinian security sources said Israeli tanks were at the entrance to the camp. (Full story) According to the Palestine Red Crescent Society, the fighting in Balata has left 25 Palestinians dead. Two Israeli soldiers have been killed. Hamas said Saturday that Israeli forces shot and killed a member of the group's militant wing as he was planting explosives near the soldiers in northern Gaza late Friday. The Israeli army said its forces shot two Palestinians and killed one of them after they approached the soldiers Friday night near Beit Hanoun. The other Palestinian was wounded and taken from the area by a Palestinian ambulance. Hamas did not say if the wounded man also was a member of its militant wing. He was injured about 400 yards from the other man. The violence comes on the heels of a Saudi Arabian peace proposal that has rekindled hope for a possible resumption of peace talks. Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak arrived Saturday in Washington, where he was expected to meet with President Bush about the proposal. It calls for recognition of Israel and full normalization of ties with the Arab world in exchange for a full Israeli withdrawal from the Palestinian territories, back to the borders in place before the 1967 Six-Day War. "This has nothing to do with warfare, this has nothing to do with national liberation, this has to do with the murder of innocent Jews coming back from their evening prayers," said Dore Gold, an adviser to Prime Minister Ariel Sharon. "The state of Israel knows how to defend the people of Israel, and will do so." |

Note: Muslim festivals are timed according to local sightings of various phases of the moon and the dates given above are approximations. During the lunar month of Ramadan that precedes Eid al-Fitr, Muslims fast during the day and feast at night and working hours are 0900-1400. Many restaurants are closed during the day and there may be restrictions on smoking and drinking. For more information, see the World of Islam appendix.
The calendarThe Islamic or Hijra calendar is made up of 12 lunar months. The Hijra year is therefore 354 11/30 days long, which means that it migrates through the solar year, starting about 11 days earlier each (Gregorian solar) year. The Islamic year is considered to have started at sunset of Thursday, July 15, 622 in the Julian calendar and has twelve months of alternately 29 and 30 days, the last month having 30 days only in leap years:-
