Okay, I know this is a touchy subject to comment on...STIGMATAS. Since they are usually associated with religious beliefs. I have absolutely nothing against any type of belief system that you may have. This post is not to belittle those beliefs but I have been wondering for a while exactly what is a Stigmata. I experienced once a few years ago a strange dream of some kind.
*I was taking a nap and was about to awake or so I thought. I was having a dream of someone stabbing me in the palm of my hand with a blue old handled screwdriver. I recognized this screwdriver but didn't remember where I had seen it before. I went back to sleep telling myself that this was only a dream. But when I did fully awake I checked my palm that had the screwdriver in it and there was a small circular 'hole' that was made. It was reddish in color as if it was cut but had started to heal over. I rubbed it to see if it was some dirt or something like that but it wasn't rubbing off. This startled me a bit and I immediately got up and went to the living room of our house. My mother and her friend was sitting there talking to each other. I asked them if I had been sleep walking and they said no.
This just confused me even more because how did that red circular 'cut' mark get on my palm? It wasn't there before hand. Well, I just kind of blew this event off as some kind of dream manifestation or maybe there was something there that was making that mark and I had dreamt in my half awake/half asleep state that it was a blue handled screwdriver doing that to my hand.
About a week later, I needed a screwdriver to tighten something that had gotten lose. I don't remember exactly what it was but that part is besides the point. I went to the kitchen drawer that we keep our side knicknacks in and pulled it open. I looked down and found that same old blue handled screwdriver that I had in my dreams just laying there, waiting for me to pick it up. I immediately got the chills!*
This is the event that I wanted to ask about. Was this a dream manifestation or something similiar to a Stigmata? I am not a religious person. I am not Catholic or Christian or any one of the religions in particular. I was never raised with religion in my life. So this event....is it really a stigmata or something else?
