Hannah’s Dream Treatment

Hannah, a strong Christian woman living in Canada sees glimpses in a dream of her life growing up in Pakistan, but the dream turns to a nightmare when she sees a church service interrupted by men with guns. Just then her daughter Angelica wakes her. She begins to tell her daughter and husband Ratnam stories of her childhood and her gifted prayer warrior mother.

After Angelica falls asleep, Hannah shares with Ratnam about the kidnappings she witnessed as a child, knowing there are some stories she won’t be able to share with her daughter.

On the way to church the next day, Hannah’s heart is heavy with her mother’s recent passing. Sharing with Angelica about her own church growing up brings some solace.

In church, Hannah’s interest is piqued by the pastor’s sermon on spiritual gifts. It reminds her of her mother’s gifts of healing and seeing into the future. She recalls her mother telling her she would be used by God in a big way. She speaks with the pastor after the service about her regret of having been too busy with life to heed her mother’s prophetic words. As they pray together, Hannah vows to develop her own God-given gifts.

Meanwhile in Pakistan, young and naive Charles witnesses volunteer ambulance drivers in action and decides to volunteer as well. He shows up for his first day shadowing Joseph, a seasoned volunteer who has seen it all and is thrown into the thick of it right away, helping a man in a bloody motorcycle accident.

During the car ride home from church, Angelica asks her mother what she prayed with the pastor about. Hannah explains to her about spiritual gifts, recounting a prophetic dream she had as a child which later came true and that she’s now asked God to show her things in her dreams again.

The next day when Angelica reveals she’s afraid to start going to school, Hannah shares with her stories from her teenage school years, but can’t finish the story because her own school was bombed and her friends kidnapped from the classroom. But she does share with her how after her father’s passing, her favorite school teacher helped her learn English and get into university.

She finishes her story by explaining how she used her degree to flee from Pakistan to Dubai where she fell in love with her husband. But after having a baby daughter, her new family’s safety was threatened by political unrest, forcing them to emmigrate to Canada where they have gratefully lived and thrived since.

That night, Hannah’s dream returns to her, only now much more vivid. Children dressed in traditional white for a celebration at a church somewhere in Pakistan begin singing. Just then, the two armed men barge into the church and detonate explosives, leading to a scene of massive carnage and bloodshed. Emergency vehicles arrive to whisk men, women and children to an overcrowded hospital. Finally in her dream, she sees a massive funeral and joins mourning families in the streets.

She wakes in a panic, feeling the dream was very real. Her husband tries to assure her it was just a dream but recalls her past dreams coming true and must hide his apprehension. She says a fervent prayer, asking God to rescue the people she saw, then does her best to go back to her normal life. But as she shops and goes to the movies with her family, she’s deeply affected and haunted by the images she saw in her dream.

In Pakistan, Charles and Joseph bring the man injured in the motorcycle accident to the hospital. Thanks to their efforts, the man may not only survive, but walk again. Even so, Charles, covered in blood, explains to Joseph that he’s not cut out for this and is rethinking his decision.

Not far away, singing emmanates from a guarded church. Two men in heavy coats look for a way inside, ultimately descending on the security guard with guns.

Charles and Joseph’s conversation is interrupted when they hear and feel an explosion nearby. Joseph jumps into the ambulance. Charles hesitates, but then joins him as they speed off in the direction of the blast.

In Canada, Hannah feels something is wrong and turns on the news. She’s shocked to see the footage of her dream splashed across the television screen, playing out before her in real life. She mourns the very real carnage she witnesses and the deaths of over one hundred men, women and children in the deadliest attack on Christians to date in Pakistan.

In a dark room, those who planned the attack are puzzled as to why the church still stands and survivors escaped with their lives when the amount of explosives used should have leveled the church and left no survivors.

With Hannah still distraught after days of mourning, Ratnam calls the pastor to their home. He explains to him that when Hannah’s mother died, she felt it supernaturally, the same way she has been feeling this.

Meeting with the pastor, Hannah asks how this could have happened and what she should have done. They explore Biblical passages and conclude that she does have a spiritual gift of being able to hear from God and pray for those who don’t yet know what is going to happen. Her faith renewed, Hannah accepts her gift and commits to devoting herself to prayer as her mother did and to helping the Christians still suffering in Pakistan.

That night in a dream, Hannah is shown a glimpse of her mother in Heaven, young, beautiful and without pain.

Days later, Joseph arrives for his volunteer shift and is glad to see that Charles has returned, this time to drive an ambulance on his own. Joseph asks what changed his mind from quitting and Charles explains it was simply a feeling and he doesn’t know where it came from.

Before dawn, Hannah prays on her knees in what is now a dedicated prayer spot in her living room.

Around the world, vigils are held for those killed at All Saints Church in Peshawar, Pakistan. In Peshawar, a little girl with one limb missing, recognizeable from Hannah’s dream, arrives to church by herself, her entire family having been killed.

Joining a vigil in Canada, Hannah is inspired to form a charity to send help to the Christians still living in danger in Pakistan.
