My 'vision of the future' that occurred many years ago - and I still do not recognize as either prediction or metaphor - is as follows:
I cross the peak of a large hill (small mountain) and I am confronted by an amazing sight, before me where there should be land, trees, people and places, instead a new coastline has formed. Lapping on this new coastline are many bodies both animal and human. It is at this moment that I begin to cry, realizing the death and destruction that has taken place for this to happen. When I experienced this vision it was an extremely emotional moment (and still is). The water flood/pole shift vision theme is common it seems amongst people...The intriguing question is of course, are we experiencing a prophetic event or a metaphor for a change in ourselves?
