Our protagonist has yet another prophetic dream, this time a “forthtelling” (revealing present but hidden truths) rather than a “foretelling” (revealing future events) dream, as she did last time (to use two theological terms). In this third dream sequence, God symbolically reminds her of the nature of the true path of all Christians: that they must follow in Christ’s own troubled and weary footsteps on His way to Calvary, and that all must “take up the cross and follow” Him. The dream conjures up a physical manifestation of that admonition by Jesus to His hearers in Matthew 16:24.
