12 years ago we were just barely waking up. We never taught any of our children about Zion. Our oldest child was five with another child three years old and another child being one year old. Because of their ages we never had any deep gospel discussions. Please keep that in mind. We were at a "Jesus wants me for a sunbeam" level of gospel instruction with our kids.
I share this dream to ask those who don't believe the Bible...don't believe Jesus is the Son of God or don't believe He is coming back to earth or believe Him to be just an 'ascended master' - how can a little five year old who was just two years out of nursery have such a vivid and real dream that corresponds to the prophecies found in the Book of Revelation and elsewhere?
This child was five years old when they had this dream.

(Edit/name of the child removed) said he had a dream and in the dream he saw Jesus, Heavenly Father, and many angels. They told him, "thank you for repenting and keeping the commandments of Jesus". There was a wall. When I asked what was on the other side of the wall, he said "Everything that is bad. On our side was everything that was good."
He said our whole family was there and Jesus was there. I asked if we said anything to Jesus, he said, "We were singing every song there ever was about Jesus and Heavenly Father." He said his heart was warm.
He said on the other side of the wall was black and Satan was there and Satan had a robe like Jesus but it was black. He had no mouth. Satan had hands and blue eyes and everywhere he stepped the grass turned brown. Jesus came and everywhere He stepped the grass turned green. Once Jesus came the black on the other side of the wall became bright and there was no more darkness. He concluded by saying he felt that all of this was real and really happened.
Later I asked him if he was afraid of Satan. He said, "No. I was sad for him." He said there was a table with the sacrament and he said in his dream, "Maybe we are going to take the sacrament." Jesus said, "Yes (Edit). I will show you all things because you kept my commandments." He said that when Jesus came He taught but he said he already knew what Jesus was saying. Ryan asked him if everyone was in a church or a building. He said, "Actually, I don't know all the people that were there. There wasn't a building that could hold how many people there were."

(Edit) came into my room early this morning after he woke up. I told him to come rest by me and chat. He said he had the same dream. This time he said that Satan was angry on the other side of the wall and wanted Jesus to be brought to him. (Edit) had his scriptures and he said Satan tried to hide in one of the words in the Bible. When he opened it, Satan jumped out and went back in. Ryan along with (Edit/an elderly male relative), and (Edit/an elderly male relative) were giving him a black bag and he put Satan in the bag. Everyone was happy because they knew Satan would not get out. He said, "The bag was sealed".
Also - he said the people had clothing like rainbows.

(The same son) came to me and said, "Mom, can we be a God?" I said, "What? Where did you hear that? What do you mean?" He said, "Can we be a God? Can we have power like Jesus?" I asked if he thought that because of his dream. He said, "Yes, in my dream I could move a cow. If I pointed to a tree and asked it to move - it would. If I saw a flower seed, I could ask it to grow and it would become a beautiful flower. I had powers like Jesus and whatever I asked things to do, they did them."

Overcome what?

be opened unto you - SEEK and ye shall find.
Jesus tells us that the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant in search of fine pearls who, upon finding one pearl of great value - sold all that he had and bought it.
Jesus is that Pearl of great value.
