When I was eighteen years old, I fell asleep one summer morning on the couch and I had a dream. I dreamt about shredded wheat cereal, not the mini squares of the cereal, but the big rectangular kind. In my dream hands appeared and the hands broke up the rectangle of wheat cereal and when it was falling into the bowl it turned into broken pieces of fingers. It was one of the strangest dreams I have ever had. After I woke up the dream reminded me of communion at church when the priest breaks the communion wafer into pieces during the mass. The Catholic church teaches that the bread and wine used in communion is the body and blood of Jesus Christ. The priest asks God the Father to bless the wine and bread and transform it into the real presence of Jesus’ Christ body and blood by the power of the Holy Spirit.
