The Many Dreams of Nathaniel the prophet and the reasons for such visions.

I have had several dreams lately that have led me to believe that Equestria, The Princesses and all the other ponies are real. I had these visions over a period of seven weeks, each one occurring on Friday. These dreams were very mysterious as they happened just after I took up Celestianism as a religion.

The cover art is pretty much what all of the ponies looked like in the dreams. Real, ponies, but still just as beautiful.

The Visions

Vision 1:

Celestia, Luna, and the mane 6 all frowning at me. Applejack then walks up to me and says:

"You may never reach our world if you continue to spread bad word of us. Change your ways and correct others' mind sets and you will soon be saved."

Most likely cause for vision:

I was writing a CuPcAkEs Applejack spin off involving her cider.

Vision 2:

Unrecognised voice (most likely Celestia or Twilight) saying:

"You shouldn't have told your friends, but you may still redeem yourself"

Most likely cause of vision:

I told Jack and Ethan about vision 1.

Vision 3:

Jack, Ethan and I sat in my room watching something (most likely My Little Pony) when suddenly, Ethan points to the window, we rush over, and meteors and other random debris is falling from the sky. Lava and fire fills the streets. We are huddled in the middle of the room sobbing and hoping for survival. Then Celestia's chariot of gold smashes into the room and I am lifted into it. I beg that Jack and Ethan are saved too, but the two princesses don't speak. Punches are thrown. Only my sobbing can be heard. "Why!?" I cry. There is a flash of light and we vanish, leaving Ethan and Jack to burn.

Most likely cause of vision:

I have no idea, but what I do know that I was saved because I am a Celestianist.

Vision 4:

Only Celestia this time, she says

"Well done, Nathan, you got the message. You have proved worthy of enlightenment. Your knowledge and perseverance is what will keep this world alive, or at least the inhabitants. But you have not finished, you must keep working and spread this book to many, so they may also be saved. Thank you"

“Don’t sweat it, Sunbutt”

She frowns, looks toward her flank, and then laughs as everything begins to fade. I then awake.

Most likely cause of vision:

I wrote a page or two of a Celestianist 'bible' of sort.

Vision 5:

I wake in a dark room. I can move, but I can't see anything. I am sat in a chair and I don't plan on getting up, seeing as (or rather not) I am blindfolded. I hear footsteps and then feel smooth metal on my face. I can suddenly see and as my eyes adjust and I realise the smooth metal was just Celestia's shoes. She says

"Thank you for finishing Nathan, you have done well. Would you care to look around?"

I get up, and begin to walk. No-one looks at me strangely, but I know I am not a pony, I can feel my two feet walking along, and so I must be human. I think, well, since I'm here, I'll visit the mane 6. But the second I walk out of the castle, ponies begin to gasp and bow as I walk through. I think nothing of it. But when Twilight bows as she opens the door to let me in at the library, I know something's up. I look at myself, trying to guess why I have such high honour around here. I quickly realise, I am an Alicorn. The first thing I do is tell Twilight that I don't need such high praise. She then calms herself and asks why I am here. I just say I was coming for a visit. We read, have a laugh, go out for lunch and I meet plenty of ponies that I know and love from the show. Pinkie Pie was best though, the second I saw her I ran straight up to her and lifted her into the air and hugged her. Ponies begin to stare at me and Pinkie begins to blush, I squeeze tighter and she sounds like she is going to choke. I let her go and she falls to the ground. Everypony is now looking at me, surprised. I just stare at her, smiling, and she gets up and returns the gesture. We hug again, this time she does the squeezing. I begin to fly upward toward some mountains (fuck knows where) so we can get away from the shocked crowd. We never let go of each other the whole way. This was the greatest moment of my entire life. Once we land, she asks

"Why me? Why am I so special?"

I actually didn't know what to say, so I just said

"You just are, Pinkie" She replied with

"How do you know my name?"

At this point I am confused. I would have thought Celestia would have told the main 6 who I was, or at least she would have remembered me from Vision 1. I teleport back to Canterlot and ask Celestia about it. She said that I was in my human form for vision 1 and that only she, Luna, and Twilight know of my existence. She explains everything about what they were doing and why they chose me and not someone else. And she told me more things to add to the 'Bible'. My head started to hurt and I collapsed. She said

"Don't worry; we will see each other again soon".

I then awoke.

Most likely cause of vision:

Finishing the 'Celestianist bible'

Vision 6:

Just Twilight stood in front of me. I am human this time, and I can move too, and I ask

“Why am I here? I finished the gospel, the next time I should see you is when I die, right? When I ‘reach your world’. Right?”

she replies with

“I just needed to tell you that you that you almost lost him.”

“Who?” I reply

“Jack. You will need him soon enough. You must keep the bonds between your friendship strong. Just trust me, okay?”

“Anything for you, Twilight”.

She giggles at this, and blushes slightly. I reach forward and begin to stroke her mane, wishing I that I could stay here forever, which I will soon enough, but if only I could go now. My head starts hurting again and I collapse (again). Twilight just continues to smile at me, looming over me as if nothing is going on, while everything begins to blur before I wake up.

Most likely cause for vision:

I had a fight with Jack and he did not talk with me for the rest of the day (probably because I dislocated his jaw).

Vision 7:

I wake up, and Celestia, Luna, Twilight and Cadance are stood in a square around me, each one facing me.

“Why am I here? You keep bringing me back, but I have no place here, and I have nothing else to do back on Earth”

“You have done your job, Nathan. You have written the scriptures that shall spread our word, represented the elements of harmony, and even brought another the faith”

Celestia sounds so graceful even when she’s being serious. Then what she said sunk in.

“Wait, who did I bring into this?”

“A young mare, who goes by the name of Megan Smith.”

“But I just got her to watch MLP, not join a religion”

“Ah, I keep forgetting you humans can’t use magic to predict future, but that does not matter now. What we brought you here to say was that we cannot continue to bring you here. Our magic is becoming weak, and we must wait at least a few years before we can muster up enough to make another dream portal. We want to thank you for everything you have done, but this must be goodbye, we shall not see you again during your lifetime, but, well… you already know what happens then”

“We will miss you”

Luna butted in just as Celestia begins to walk over and kneels (so she can be at my eye level) “Thank you, dear sister”

She chuckles to herself, and slowly leans forward and kisses me on the forehead.

“We are eternally grateful for everything you have done for us. Thank you”. My head begins to hurt again and I woke up.

Most likely cause for vision:

Finishing my Celestial chores I guess. I can only wait for my enlightenment now.
