This isn't the correct forum, but I wasn't sure where to post.

I don't remember a lot about the dream. I just remember traveling in a tunnel with a blue light and telling Hashm how much I love him.

Should I just forget about it and say it was a dream? Ask a shaiala? Take it seriously?

What would you do?

If you have ongoing or old emotional scars that you think may have influenced this, then definitely talk to a therapist.

BUT: Sometimes a dream is just a dream.

No emotional scars that would cause this. My first thought was a dream is a dream, but the dream was so real it was weird. I was going through the tunnel and completely content. Don't remember anything in therein before the tunnel.

Who says you almost died? Part of our neshama goes up to Hashem every night. Perhaps you were just visualizing that.

(Also a dream is just a dream. When I was a teen and read lots of holocaust books, I had a recurring dream that always ended with a Nazi shooting me in the head.)

Hence the reason for this prayer - part & parcel of birchas cohanim

רבונו של עולם, אני שלך וחלומותי שלך. חלום חלמתי ואיני יודע מה הוא. יהי רצון מלפניך, יהוה אלהי ואלהי אבותי, שיהיו כל חלומותי עלי ועל כל ישראל לטובה – בין שחלמתי על עצמי, ובין שחלמתי על אחרים, ובין שחלמו אחרים עלי. אם טובים הם, חזקם ואמצם, ויתקימו בי ובהם כחלומותיו של יוסף הצדיק. ואם צריכים רפואה, רפאם כחזקיהו מלך יהודה מחליו, וכמרים הנביאה מצרעתה, וכנעמן מצרעתו, וכמי מרה על ידי משה רבנו, וכמי יריחו על ידי אלישע. וכשם שהפכת את קללת בלעם הרשע מקללה לברכה, כן תהפוך כל חלומותי עלי ועל כל ישראל לטובה, ותשמרני ותחנני ותרצני. אמן

The following is my translation:

Master of the World, I am Yours and my dreams are Yours.
I have dreamed a dream and I do not know what it was.
May it be Your will, O Lord my God and the God of my ancestors, that all of my dreams concerning myself and concerning the Jewish people be for good:
Whether I dreamed them about myself;
Or whether I dreamed them about others;
Or whether others dreamed them about me.If they are good: strengthen them and enforce them and bring them to fulfillment in regards to me and in regards to them – like the dreams of the righteous Joseph.
But if they require healing: heal them [as You healed] Hezekiah, king of Judah, from his sickness;
And the prophet Miriam from her leprosy;
And Naaman from his leprosy;
And the bitter waters by the hand of our teacher Moses;
And the waters of Jericho by the hand of Elisha.
And in the manner that You altered the wicked Balaam’s curse from a curse to a blessing,
So too may You favourably alter all of my dreams regarding myself and regarding all of the Jewish people.

May You shield me
May You be merciful to me
May You desire me.

Amen.
