A Message of Caution

For a long time I have had spiritual dreams. A lot of times they scare me to death, and I try to forget about them, rather than search for a meaning. Early this morning I had probably the scariest dream ever. There wasn't anything particularly horrifying about it, other than the feelings I had in the dream. This time when I woke up, I felt a clear message from God that I couldn't ignore. As my morning went on, I felt there was even more significance to the dream than I had felt at first. Since I'm not sure where to start, I'll just dive right in.
In my dream, I was in some sort of store, trying to shop. Suddenly I heard two women wailing. It got louder and louder, and was disturbing my shopping, and several shoppers around me were complaining about it, too. So I finally decided to go over and try to silence them. As soon as I did, there was a bright light that came pouring in the shop windows, and then something dark pulling me downward. That's when I forced myself to wake up because I felt so afraid.
When I woke up, the feeling of being pulled down was what was most significant to me. What came to mind was when satan was tempting Jesus in the dessert, and he took Him to a high point in the dessert and told Jesus that if He (Jesus) would bow down to him (satan) that he would give Him the "everything you see" (the world). My interpretation is that back in the Garden of Eden, when Adam and Eve listened to the snake over God, evil was brought into the world, and ever since there has been a battle going on, and essentially the world "belongs" to evil/satan. So God's plan is to one day destroy all the evil, and reclaim the world for Himself/destroy the world and rebuild a place for Himself and those who love him. Therefore, since the world is evil/of satan we are to be IN it, not OF it, the world is not our home, it is only the place we inhabit during our physical lives. The world is obsessed with the biggest, and the best, and the newest trends, and our government is corrupt.
Then, as my morning went on, I realized the significance of me silencing the wailing women:
There will be punishment for those who silence the oppressed.
