Prophetic dreams are sent by higher powers to warn of a positive or negative event, to convey important information that can change fate. There is a belief that on the church feast of the Protection of the Most Holy Theotokos, celebrated on October 14, there is a great chance to receive revelation from above through a dream. Especially significant is a dream in which the Mother of God herself comes to a person.
Prophetic visions
The eve of the great church holiday for the sleeping person is a special time, the energetic connection between him and natural forces is strengthened, the border between sleep and reality is weakened, it becomes possible to receive God's answer in dreams to intimate questions. The likelihood of prophetic vision is especially high if the moon rises on the night before the Covering.
It is important which image you remember from what you saw. Especially it is necessary to pay attention to the visionary Mother of God in the Intercession: what she did, what she said. Interpretations, depending on the details of the plot, are as follows:
- If the dreamer turns to the Mother of God with a prayer, then in reality he is concerned about the future of his children. This vision promises that family life will change for the better.
- If the saint says something, then in reality she will help to cope with the problems that have piled up.
- The Mother of God smiles – a joyful event should be expected. Crying – trouble.
- The sleeping saint who closed her eyes promises deliverance from enemies. Ill-wishers will lose interest in the conflict, leave the dreamer alone.
- Talking with the Holy Virgin, asking for advice – in reality, overcome difficult trials.
- To meet her in the temple is to face something unexpected.
- To see her descending from the sky is to wait for the fulfillment of her cherished desire.
- To meet on the road – to come to terms with an unpleasant situation that has developed for a long time.
- To see the face of the Virgin appearing on the wall is to get help in a difficult situation that has long been established in real life.
- To see a cover in your hands or in the hands of a saint – in the near future you will have to have an unpleasant conversation with an unfriendly person, perhaps with a rival in personal relationships. We'll have to hide some information so as not to lose a loved one.
- Hiding under cover, seeing another person hiding, or covering your head – gain important knowledge. The information obtained can be used to your advantage.
For unmarried girls, sleep on the night of Pokrov is special. According to legend, you can see your future husband, find out what the upcoming married life will be like.
Going to bed, you need to ask the Mother of God to bring the betrothed in a dream, to show what awaits in the future.
You can also cook salted dumplings, eat 5 pieces before going to bed, and when you go to bed, ask your future chosen one to come and give a drink.
It is believed that a dream on the Pokrov will tell you what to do in the current situation, what to hope for, whether to wait for an engagement and wedding. It is very good for an unmarried girl to see the following images:

- kitchen;
- cheerful children;
- sweets;
- rabbit (the image of a rich and generous groom).
