The Smith Family Chronicles 8: Bob's Dream

"Bob's Dream" is the final episode of The Smith Family Chronicles. You can watch the seven previous episodes on my HuffPost author page.

You can also read an interview Xtranormal.com did with me about the series.

You can read about why I did this series in my post, "Oh, the Secrets We Keep, the Lies We Tell."

You can read about why I stopped doing them in my post, 500 "Smith Family Chronicles" FB Fans by Episode 8, or Adios, Series.

You can read what's in store for the Smith Family on my post, "The Smith Family Chronicles 8: Bob's Dream" (And a Novel Idea!).

You're invited (still!) to join/"like" the SFC Facebook page.

I am now writing a novel, The Smith Family Chronicles, based on the characters of this series. It will begin where the narrative of the Xtranormal videos leaves off.

Im sorry john, most christians dont believe in dream interpretation. They think its satans work or something along those lines.

There are many other beliefs besides christianity. I always thought of Buddhism as very spiritual, and it does make me sad that you left it. Then again, I grew up christian, went to many churches, and see things as someone who tried christianity, and found it lacking in many things, namely common sense and self realization.

I think you need some heavy qualification there. Most conservative heavily westernized and enmeshed in Enlightenment thinking Christians don't believe in dream interpretation. It's been my experience that most Christians, who incidentally are in Africa and Asia, not the US and Europe, do believe in dream interpretation and that dreams mean something. What is more, it is starting to have a bit of a revival (that dreams have deep spiritual meanings) in Western evangelical churches, of all places. So while it is rejected by most mainline and many western evangelicals, I would not say that most don't believe in it, or that it is not experiencing a bit of a renaissance (thanks in large part to the stories brought back by missionaries).

I, personally, don't see why you say all of Christianity lacks common sense and self realization. I would never say such a thing about another (well, honestly, most other) belief system(s). True this is the case for many, but I would be careful about making such sweeping generalizations.
