Why are dreams sometimes so Vivid?

Last night I dreamed that Bob came home.  I heard his foot steps in the hall, and he came into the bedroom and stood beside the bed for a minute.  Then he lay down beside me.  His foot was healed, and he was like he was many years ago.  Then Eboni came and nudged me, wanting to go outside.  I got up and let her out.  When I got back into bed, she was there again; and once more.  I said to myself "how many times am I going to have to let you out?"
The dream was so "real" that as I was waking up I looked to see if he was in his bed.


Breaking The Alaster Cruse

The beautiful story of Mary and the alabaster cruse is recorded in John 12:1-8. It is, perhaps, one of the more well known incidents in the life of Jesus. I typed “John 12:1-8” into my Mozilla Fire Fox browser and an astonishing 22,600,000 links were provided for my investigation. When I typed in “Matthew 26:6-13” (parallel account), I received 3,400,000 links. The search on “Mark 14:3-9” produced 506,000 links. That is a total of more than 26,000,000 links to the three parallel passages, far more than I could ever hope to investigate. In comparison, I typed in “atheism” and received only 7,550,000 links; “evolution,” 16,300,000; “Hollywood,” 19,500,000. The large number of links to various sites that tell of this touching story of Mary and the alabaster cruse attest to the fulfillment of our Lord’s prophecy: “Verily I say unto you, Wheresoever this gospel shall be preached in the whole world, that also which this woman hath done shall be spoken of for a memorial of her” (Matt. 26:13).
