FORWORD

Years ago, plenty troubling nightmares were very frequent uptill late 2014 when I used psalm 23 to bail out myself.

When I was a child, I used to see many frightening dreams. I dreaded the night. When night falls, fear would grip my heart and I would say silently within my mind so night, you have come again Night was my greatest enemy. I wished dawn would remain forever but it was not so for I could not hold the course of nature. From the first vision in this book which happened when I was 8years old till the age of 32years, my night has been restless, never slept at night for fear of having nightmares.

I will stay awake and toss to and fro till the early hours of the day when my bones would have been so weak to withstand being awake, then I will give in to few hours’ sleep. That made me go late to work, when others were rising, preparing for work, that’s when I would be sleeping. In all, I had a remedy, one that I often failed to use; Prayers!

That was the only antidote. Whenever I prayed, I slept like a baby but the rigorous work I did in the day did not make me excel in it as I was often too tired to say the Lord’s Prayer in the least.

But when I got tired of being on that mountain I moved to my Canaan-praise God!

I still live there till now and will forever do as long as my days permit me till I move further to the place that is higher than

Canaan; Heaven! I used psalm 23 and the Lord’s Prayer. I prayed the prayers as though I was teaching a toddler how to say and comprehend those scriptures. I explained the meaning of each word to God with apt descriptions.

The very first day I said these prayers I slept like a child, by the second day the devil came with a more even fierce nightmares to text me but I laughed to his face. I did not allow it to dismay me rather I stood on my ground. For example, in psalm 23, the lord is my shepherd I illustrated it with David and the lion that came to take one of his father’s young calves.

I diligently explained the functions of a shepherd peradventure God has forgotten. I did that from the beginning of the chapter till the end. He who wears the shoe knows where it pinches they say! That was my turning point. No nightmare has raised its ugly head again and never will, halleluiah!

If I can do it, you too can!

My first dream:

This is the first of all the thought of my spirit which took place at night while my body slept. I call it the first because it is the very first dream that I had as a child that I still remember. I was 8years old. Every other ones after this I can remember except the ones I chose to forget but the ones before it I cannot recall if they took place or they never happened.

Then, these wild looking savages came running after me. Their attire was made
