When I saw the prompt question this morning, I nearly bowed out, as I don’t usually imagine myself in a universe other than the one I’m in.
But, in all fairness to the prompt, one can consider both dreams and visions to be universes, in themselves.
I have dreams of places that are fiction, which can be considered a separate universe! Those are the places that I write about, nearly every day! Some might be shared on my posts, here on WordPress. However, the book I’m attempting to publish, writes of a place that one might consider a universe.
Then, there are visions! Wooooo…. big scary word!
Before you start thinking I’ve gone round the bend, let me explain. Whenever I am reading scripture, I see visions within my mind that God reveals, allowing me to form a picture of what things were like long ago, or of things to come, when this world passes away. See, nothing scary, here.
While this might not make any sense to anyone but myself, at least I tried to answer the prompt question, so there’s that…
The first moments after reading this prompt question, were a little bit of a let down, only because I have no earthly desire to be in any other universe than this one. Hey, it might be a mess, but it is our mess, right? Besides, I am fairly certain that any other universe that has more than 0ne brain, will encounter the same amount of mess as we have… grass is always greener somewhere else.
Where could the grass be green enough? This train of thought got me imagining. If there is anywhere besides here I wanna be, it might seem easy for you to guess Heaven, and you would be correct. But in my minds eye, within heaven is a place beyond any other, and only I can dream of it… If you went to heaven, where would you want to stay… personally, I do not have a clue what it truly will look like, I do not think a human mind has the capacity to see as God sees.
Everyone can imagine what heaven will look like, but for each of us it looks different, I am sure.

I will share with you the dream I had as a young, and though it might seem silly to some, it comforts me when I feel the ugliness of the world creep in.
I dreamt of a meadow, sheltered within a grove of enormous ancient trees.
Within this meadow was a stable, and in this stable were horses… not just any horses, but the king’s personal steeds, and their mares and offspring. In case you are worried that my view of heaven is missing the mark, this stable is not far from the heavenly host and the streets of gold. It might be easy to read the bible and babble off a description of the place He prepares for me, but I will not be in my room all the time, so I wander… that’s how I found the stable.
I went there to feed the foals and play in the meadow with them… when they wandered back to their mothers, I headed to the stable to find my curry brush, and the smoothing brush too.
I spent hours brushing and smoothing the coats of the mighty steeds that pull the King’s chariot down the main street every morning and every evening. If we are in heaven, you might wonder why God would need horses and chariots to be with us? I don’t think He does, I think He loves doing it, maybe. What do I know, I am only human.
Why would He create something so beautiful, if he did not wish to spend time with said beautiful thing… He created us didn’t He?

Whatever it will look like, and however it really does end up being, I know I am going there… and it is my dream… and it brings me comfort… and if you wanna blame anybody for this idea of mine, blame WordPress. I was not looking for an alternate universe, and maybe if we all spent more time trying to take better care of the one we have, there would be no need to leave it…

If nothing else, maybe if we make it better here, all the aliens would stop speeding past our exit.

If you still want to head out to another universe, I have left you a freeze dried snack for the road… for everyone else, here is your earth fodder…
Gross, I know… but come on… gag it down… I promise it tastes earthlike.
Journey With Me!
