"The dream of the Most Holy Theotokos", according to the official church, is "tares" in contrast to "wheat" - the Word of God. Translated from the church into the language of everyday communication, "tares" is an evil fiction that discredits the Blessed Mother of God.
"The Dream of the Most Holy Theotokos" is a heresy forbidden for publication. There is no mention of him anywhere in any church book. Who wrote them, when - is unknown. Specifically, we can only talk about the purpose of their creation, which is the substitution of the postulates of Orthodoxy, the fight against the official religion, in which there are no forbidden tricks.
70 years of domination of atheism over the postulates of Holy Scripture
Until 1917, the "Law of God" was a compulsory subject in all elementary schools. Whether this is good or bad is still debatable. But a person from childhood knew the history of the emergence of Christianity, he was familiar with the true content of spiritual literature.
After 70 years of domination of atheism, there are not so many literate people in this area (and this is far from all believers). The need for Divine protection is great, knowledgenot enough, that's where misconceptions arise.
Some sources say that for the first time the "Dream of the Blessed Virgin" is mentioned in the 12th century. Most likely, this legend arose in order to give weight to "work".
The story of the "dreams" of the Holy Mother of God
Around these scriptures (and they should only be handwritten) there are a lot of "specialists" interpreting (each in his own way) the correct reading of "Dreams".
This is explained by the fact that the "Dream of the Blessed Virgin Mary" is in great demand. It has always been like this - along with the official religion, there were dozens of "teachings", sects, "grandmothers", sorcerers, psychics.
Now there are legends that claim that the "Dream of the Most Holy Theotokos" (77 prayers taken as a basis) is the strongest amulet. And for a person who owns them all, there are no barriers or threats. The number of "dreams" varies, up to a hundred. Some sources report the presence of "subdreams". That is, there is a certain science. They argue about which prayer helps in a particular case.
It is believed that "Dreams" are prayers, although they do not even correspond to prayer - a conversation with God, even in the form of construction and in essence. There are narrative elements in “Dreams”: where the Mother of God came, where the dream overtook her, in which settlement.
However, according to hundreds of adherents, these prayers are very effective. They are rewritten and rewritten. On many sites "Dreams of the Blessed Virgin Mary" reviews are not only positive, but alsoenthusiastic.
How to create amulets
And one of them describes the ritual of creating your own amulet in a very "peculiar" language. It is recommended to add three drops of your own blood to ink, only black and just bought, be sure to take a fountain pen, very white paper, light candles and concentrate. Having started writing, we must remember that it is supposed to be rewritten a lot of times, since you can create an amulet only by writing it in one spirit, without a single blot. When performing this ceremony, it is also assumed that there will be a lot of sweat, which is wiped off with a special handkerchief. The handkerchief is then burned for candles. Ashes are scattered in the wind. But its flight must be monitored. And if he hits the face, that is, returns, you must immediately begin writing another prayer.
Signs of sectarianism in "Dreams"
Even a dense person cannot fail to notice elements of sectarianism here. And blood is generally from the evil one. But increased demand always finds satisfaction, especially in our time thanks to the Internet. Here the texts are printed, which, it would seem, is in principle unacceptable. Dozens of recommendations and stories from personal experience. And then, the statement “well, it helps” is completely disarming. A person asks for help on the recommendations of acquaintances and believes that he has found it.
