Parley P. Pratt's Dream of the Prophet's Robe

“During this time of suffering and privation, I had a dream or vision, which was a great comfort to me. I thought I saw myself dressed in a clean and beautiful linen robe, white as snow, and extending from the neck downward in beautiful folds. On either breast were lines of golden writing, in large Roman letters, about a third of an inch in length, and the lines extending from the center of the breast on each side six or eight inches long. The upper line on each side appeared larger and more beautiful or conspicuous than the others; one of these lines was: "HOLY PROPHET," and the other was: "NEW JERUSALEM." On awaking from this dream I immediately called to mind the words of the Saviour to John the Revelator: "He that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out; and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the City of my God, which is New Jerusalem." This dream was a great comfort to me, and I felt that I was not forgotten, but that I should yet be permitted to see the day when I should be delivered from my present suffering and privation, and be permitted to see my family and friends again.”
