Every night Alicia Montoya had a dream about a devil raping her. She prayed to Saint Patrick, and the nightmares stopped. She thanks for that with this retablo.

I was very ill. I had a fever. In my dream I saw the devil who came to took my soul. But the Virgin of Guadalupe send her angel to help me. So the angel and the devil played cards for my soul. The angel won, so when I woke up next morning my temperature settled and I was feeling better. I thank the Virgin for that.

The fact that the aggression happened during sleep makes this miracle highly improbable. But the most interesting part of this ex-voto is rather the date, 1903. The phrase “flying saucers” hadn’t been invented yet. So we’re talking about extraordinary and prophetic dream.

My wife used to read horror stories. Because of that she had nightmares. She woke up at night crying and giving me slaps and kicks. She even pushed me off the bed. I thank the Virgin of San Juan, because now my wife reads love stories. She has nice dreams about handsome men, she kisses them at her dream, and we both sleep in peace.

Joaquin Morales had a dream with naked she-devils who started to bite him off. He suffered very much and prayed to Saint Jude Thaddeus. The saint delivered him from the she-devils, and Joaquin is thankful for that.

Since I was little girl, I dreamt about flying. And few nights ago the Virgin of Guadalupe presented me with the flight. You might consider it just a dream, bit I know it was real, because I saw myself the fields down there and the rising sun that gilded the world [...]

The Virgin sent me a dream in which I was playing with a giant dolphin and felt so happy. After that dream I decided to study marine biology because I understood that it’s my vocation. Now I’m very happy with the sea animals. I thank the Virgin of Zapopan.

Adelina Galeana went to wash clothes on the river. Because it was very hot, she fell asleep. She was sleeping and couldn’t see that a giant crocodile was approaching to her. Suddenly she heard a voice that was telling her: “Wake up! Danger!” She woke up in time and managed to run away, so that the terrible beast didn’t eat her. She thanks with the ratable for this miracle.

My life was very boring and tedious until I began to dream that I had wings and I flew in the sky full of stars. I thank Sacred Heart for sending me these wonderful dreams. Now I am happy and more optimistic.
