Some dreams are fun, some dreams are scary, some dreams feel so very real.
I dreamed about being attacked by a killer clown most of my childhood because I had a very frightening experience with one as a toddler (no real fault of the clown). I assure you, it felt extremely real and even took place in the same familiar setting.
People dream what their experiences tell them to dream. If you had never heard about jesus christ, your dream would never have had his character in it.
It's the same reason muslims have near death experiences with Muhammad and Allah --- guess what --- no Jesus to be found.
Whether the dream actually ever happened or not, in the end, this is just propaganda. Fear makes far more devotees to a cause than love does. The church figured that out long ago. You Tube has ample videos of 'trips to hell.' Every single one of them is significantly different from the rest, and I'm far more inclined to believe that nearly all of them are just liars concocting a grander story than the one they heard so they too can have a moment in the lime light.
In a follow up post you said the words, "the bible tells us...blah blah blah," as if those words mean anything to a non-christian.
It's like we can't get it through your head that no one is buying it.
