The same dream?

I've heard that Mormons believe that all feelings of peace and joy come from God, and negative feelings of fear and despair come from the devil, but I've had dreams that started out comforting (producing feelings of peace and joy), but ended disturbing (producing feelings of hopelessness, fear, and despair); where does that come from? Can the devil intrude into our dreams? Can he tell when we're feeling good, and inject something to really mess with our minds? I know Joseph and Brigham Young recorded some nice dreams, but did any prophets or general authorities ever record any bad dreams?

Thank you. Richard G. Scott wrote about one of his dreams here. Has anyone had any dreams like this?

Has anyone ever had a dream that started out beautiful and peaceful, and turned bad? Where do such dreams come from? Do they come from God, the devil, or our own minds?

Did any of the early Latter Day Saints pray to Heavenly Mother?

I'm trying to understand what Alma 32:19-20 means. The text reads: And now, how much more cursed is he that knoweth the will of God and doeth it not, than he that only believeth, or only hath cause to believe, and falleth into transgression? Now of this thing ye must judge. Behold, I say unto you, that it is on the one hand even as it is on the other; and it shall be unto every man according to his work. At first I thought it was saying that you'd be more accountable if you actually saw an angel (like Laman and Lemuel), then if you just had reason to believe that someone else did (like Joseph, or the women at the tomb), but the more I look at verse 20, the less clear the meaning seems to me. What does "it is on the one hand even as it is on the other" mean? Is that like saying "six of one, half a dozen of another"? Is Alma actually saying that "he that knoweth the will of God and doeth it not" is no more cursed than he that only had cause to believe?

Were any Latter Day Saints named Molynuex?
