Catholics/dream of latin phrase
Expert: Marco - 6/5/2009
Questioni had a weird dream and need a little help. first off, i am not catholic or really very religious. do believe in God, however. i have had prophetic, message-type dreams since i was a child. i'm sure this dream holds a message but don't know exactly what. here goes: i walk into a beautiful courtyard of a place that looks like a palace or something. there's a fountain with beautiful flowing water. i walk around and come to an old lady sitting by a table with things for sale. i pick up some jewelled things and go to pay her for them. she makes a comment on my youth and then says, have you found where the light is coming from yet? i look at her puzzled...then turn around to walk away. people are there now. as they pass me, they smile as if welcoming me, and they all have a ball of radiatng, glowing light coming from their chests. some are brighter than others. then i come to a piece of paper with a phrase written on it...it was fuzzy but i could read it...adeo redeo donatus. i googled it and see that it's latin. what does this mean? can you help me?
AnswerDear Melina,
first of all the phrase "adeo redeo donatus" makes no sense in latin (I have studied latin).
I think dreams are a very confuse product of our unconscious.
So do not worry about your dreams and simply forget them.
They have no meaning at all.
Your brother in Christ,

PS I think that faith cannot come only from logic, because to have faith in God means to trust and love God.
I think however that logics and science prove the existence of our soul and the existence of God and that there are many rational arguments strongly supporting the christian faith.
The explanation of these aguments is rather long and Allexperts allows only to give short answers. You can find such arguments in the following site
http://xoomer.alice.it/fedeescienza/englishnf.html
where I analyse the incongruencies of the materialistic conception of the mind, on the basis of our present scientific knowledges about brain and matter.
This analysis points out how the laws of physics prove that the brain cannot generate consciousness, which existence implies the presence in man of a unbiological/unmaterial element. The problem of consciousness is then strictly connected to the one of the existence of the soul and, consequently, the existence of God.
In the first article entitled “Mind and brain...” you can find a general discussion of the mind and brain problem from a scientific point of view.
In the second article entitled “Scientific contraddictions in materialism”
you can find an explanation of the fundamental inconsistencies of the typical arguments used by materialists, such as the concept of emergent, macroscopic or holist property, complexity, information, etc.
In the section called “FAQ: answers to visitors' questions” you can find the answer to many typical questions, such as "Are there any scientifically proved miracles?", "Does the existence of the universe imply the existence of God?", "Can science explain God?", "Can science establish which is the true religion?", "Can science explain consciousness in the future?", and many others.
