Holy Mother Han Sticking Up for Me

The night of this dream, I was emotionally exhausted and feeling deeply discouraged about my dissertation. Around 3 A.M., before falling asleep, I prayed sincerely to Holy Mother Han, expressing my struggles and doubts about completing my work. After this heartfelt prayer, I fell asleep.

In my dream, I was walking behind Holy Mother Han in a space filled with white light. She was walking very fast and angrily ahead of me, speaking out strongly and loudly, "How can they do this? How can they do this?" When I ran up next to her and asked, "Mother, why are you so angry?" she kept repeating over and over, "How can they do this to you? How can they do this to you?" I noticed she wore a necklace with a large blue stone in a casing that looked as though it was falling out. When I asked if I could take it, she said yes.

We then entered what felt like a basement space. Holy Mother Han sat on the middle of the stairs in a meditative pose. The room was filled with memories—piles of childhood belongings, not just mine but my siblings' as well. I picked up my brother's old blue baby blanket, feeling the connection to these preserved memories. I observed Holy Mother Han in her peaceful meditation before waking up.

Three days after the dream, I experienced an unexpected sense of peace replacing my previous anxiety. Remembering the blue stone from the dream, I researched and found that it resembled a blue opal—a stone known for bringing calm during anxious times. In the dream, I had held it close to my heart, as if absorbing its properties.

A few weeks later, my husband shared news that Holy Mother Han had given an important assignment to theological professors about the Only Begotten Daughter. This news filled me with hope that my academic work would find its place and purpose.
