How did terror of his dream affect Robinson Crusoe's thoughts about God and his behavior toward God.

The
terror that Crusoe experiences in his dream begins the process of his conversion to
Christianity. In the dream, or rather nightmare, a man descends from the heavens in a bright
flame of fire. As soon as he sets foot on earth, he starts moving menacingly toward Crusoe,
large spear in hand, ready to kill him. From high ground, some distance away, the man begins to
speak, in a loud and terrible voice:

'Seeing all these
things have not brought thee to repentance, now thou shalt die...'

At that moment, the man appears to lift up his spear, ready to kill Crusoe. Our hero
interprets the dream as a warning from God. Crusoe has spent all this time on the island, with
all the bounties of nature there for the taking, with food and fresh water in abundance, and yet
does not give thanks to God for what he has so graciously provided. Instead, Crusoe has put
everything down to good luck, and nothing else. From that day on,is genuinely grateful to God
and even prays to him for what he claims is the very first time.
