A Dream on the Night of the I dreamt that I was in council with the martyred Prophet and Patriarch and also with the quorum of the Twelve Apostles in America. I thought we had all to be ordained for some purpose I was called upon by President Young and another person to assist in administering the ordinances. In the midst of the council Sidney Rigdon came in and was objected to by Hyrum Smith. I awoke and again fell asleep and dreamt of being in council with the Twelve and others. I made an address to them John E Page arose to address the meeting but was stoped by some female and was followed by Elder Willard Snow I have recorded this dream at the time in my daily Journal yet I did not pay much attention to dreams on shipboard.
