The Angel in my Dreams
(Book One)
by Jen-irishu

Sample from the book.....

Angela appeared to be wide-awake, although she knew she was asleep.

All of a sudden something woke her. She felt a soft touch on her cheek. Angela opened her eyes in a flash. She gasped when she saw floating at the end of her bed the most exquisite sight that she had ever seen. In the middle of a golden glow was an angel. And not just any angel, this one was so beautiful, with enormous wings radiating different colours. She had a smile like nothing Angela had ever seen before. She was so ‘out of this world’ that there were no words to describe her.

Angela rubbed her eyes. She thought she was still dreaming but the angel, wrapped in the colours of the rainbow, was still there floating, gently smiling down at her.

“Are you real?” Angela whispered, adding “What are you here for?”

“Oh yes. I’m very real. I am here to take you on a journey. Would you like to come with me? There’s something I want you to see.”

How could this angel talk without opening her mouth? What she said went straight to Angela’s heart. No words were needed. Angela thought she could try it too because if she thought it, she wouldn’t wake anybody. She knew her mum didn’t sleep very well and was always listening for the slightest sound coming from her bedroom and if she came in now…how could she explain?

Okay, Angela thought. I’ll try thought-talking. Of course she’d like to go with the angel, but there was one problem.

“I don’t want to die yet,” Angela sighed.

“I know little one. But this isn’t that kind of journey. I promise when you wake, you’ll be back here tucked in under your warm doona.”

“What’s your name?”

“My name is Kairi.”

“Why have you chosen me?”

“The Creator of All has sent me to take you on a special journey. He loves you so much. He doesn’t want you to be afraid when your time comes to cross over the Rainbow Bridge to the Hereafter, so I have been sent to show you a small glimpse of Heaven. But there is one thing I ask of you Angela. On your return I want you to tell your friends and family of your adventures. It will help to take away some of their pain and sadness if you do. They’ll understand no one ever really leaves. They are only just a thought away, on a beautiful star in the heavens.”

“But they won’t believe me. They’ll think I’m crazy.”

“Your story will be so beautiful Angela, they will not only believe you but they will understand more.”

The angel held out her hand for Angela to hold. There was so much love streaming from Kairi’s body Angela knew she didn’t need to be afraid.

(just a small peek)
The Red Curtain… The Kingdom of Home-Coming.

Nanna! Pa! Angela called out. She was so excited. Her Nanna and Pa ran to greet her with arms outstretched.

Angela looked up at Kairi with tear-filled eyes. The angel had tears in her eyes as well. This was real, not just in her imagination. Wow…this was going to be one journey Angela would never forget.

How could she not share it with her family and friends? She didn’t care what they thought of her…not now. She knew it was the truth and that was all that mattered. Nanna and Pa are alive!

The Orange Curtain… The Animal Kingdom.

With a cheeky smile, Kairi told Angela to cover her eyes. All of a sudden Angela was bowled over. Something was licking her face. It felt like…like…a dog. She opened her eyes. It was Tao! He was alive too! “Where are we Kairi?’

“This is known as the Animal Kingdom”, replied Kairi. “All the animals that have ever been created live here peacefully, and everything they need is provided for them.”

Have you noticed how on your earth many animals have been mistreated, or hunted and killed? This makes us very sad indeed. Not only are the animals suffering but also the trees and different types of vegetation. Large numbers are being cut down much faster than the new ones can grow.

“How can we help?’

The Yellow Curtain… The Kingdom of Memory.

Kairi took Angela’s hand and they sat together on a bench nearby.

It feels like you’ve been here before, doesn’t it? And sometimes when you meet a new friend it feels as if you have known them forever. Yes?”

“Oh yes, but sometimes I get so confused.”

“I know you do and that’s why we are here. Do you know about the Rainbow Children? These children were born with special gifts. Often their mothers and fathers thought they were ‘old souls’. And they are. They just seem to know without being told.

Sometimes Angela felt she lived in a world of her own, almost like a fragile bird in a glass cage and no one except her mother and Kairi understood what it was like.

The Green Curtain… The Nature Kingdom.

“What is your name?” Angela asked.

“Eli”, replied the little boy shyly, looking down at his feet.

“What are you doing here, Eli?”

“I don’t know. Just after I went to sleep I had the strangest dream. I dreamt that there was a really bright star in the sky and it came towards me so quickly.”

“Do you have an angel like I do?’

“Yes…Manu, that’s his name.

The Blue Curtain… The Ocean Kingdom.

With squeals of delight, the children paddled over to the smiling dolphins, wrapping their arms excitedly around their thick necks. Eli had never seen a dolphin before. He lived in the heart of Africa where lions, elephants, giraffes, hippos and zebras roamed.

The dolphins told the children their names were Flapper and Smiley.

Smiley told both children to grab hold of their fins, take a deep breath and hold on. Before they knew it they were on their way into underwater paradise.

The Purple Curtain…The Angelic Kingdom.

Ahead was what looked like a huge cluster of quartz crystal rising out of the mist. This castle or temple looked nothing like Queen Diana’s or King Neptune’s. This one was a real fairytale castle. A tall spire reached up into the sky, with the colours all blending in together. A rainbow like nothing on earth bathed them in pure light, and the children knew then there was no other love in all of existence like there was here in Seventh Heaven.

Four great Beings floated at the entrance to the castle and asked the children to join them.

Enjoy The Angel in my Dreams…God used my hands to write it for you.
