Tell me your thoughts ( very odd) 0n my dream?

Fascinating overview....Your profile says that science is your pion, and Islam is your duty, which suggests you are quite religious / observant. I have written entire stories in my dreams before, it really is amazing what the mind can come up with sometimes. As for the description of the devil, well, I don't know where the popular idea of a red demon with horns came from in the first place, before he fell, Lucifer was considered the most beautiful of all the angels...there are many stories out there depicting the devil in terms of a pale man with dark hair in a dark suit though, and I have heard stories, for example of people who meet the devil at a crossroads in order to make a pact, in none of those stories have I ever heard him described as a red monster, but in a human form such as you describe, but it is obvious to all who it is. As I was raised Catholic, it was always drummed into me that he could take any form, and most likely would appear fair, not demonic, because if it were that obvious who he was, he wouldn't get anywhere near us, in order to beguile us, or tempt us, it needs to seem attractive, and a red demon would be too scary to earn someone's trust enough to fool them, so...I don't think that the image you built of him is really all that unique, the red demon guy is more like a cartoon or a caricature depicting his link to hell or even mocking him by turning him into such a critter. I find it very interesting the part of other universes, and I am curious if you perceived the other universes as belonging to the popular conception of God, or to other Gods? Did "none shall enter, none shall leave until the moment of reckoning apply only to this universe box, and everything in it? I'm afraid I don't actually have an interpretation for you on this dream, it is an epic dream, which is a dream so big and profound that it goes beyond the normal dreaming process, it isn't about something going on in your life, but something beyond that, more cosmic than that....I guess it depends on what you are taking away from it, one thing you got from it is that the devil isn't really the horny dude with the pitchfork, he looks more or less like us...you also brought back a message that the devil has a place in the whole scheme of things, his presence is not frivolous or arbitrary, but an obstacle to be overcome in order to regain knowledge of God(dess) or Good(ness) a being who has a job to do here, even as he is depicted as an outcast. Even though I was raised Catholic, I don't believe in the devil and hell and all that in Biblical terms, but view that sort of stuff as metaphor, but perhaps those are parts of the message you needed to bring back to reflect on? Even the figure with black hair is a part of the All and has a place there...so there's some very odd thoughts for you :)
