Dog went Over the Ledge

Dear Marsha,

I’m a 40+ woman with the following dream. I don’t know why I’m dreaming about this dog. I used to have a little black dog years ago, but not now.  Can you give me some insight? It was so real.

 

I was on a concrete bridge pushing a baby stroller. In the stroller was a little black dog. The dog jumped out of the stroller and up on top of the ledge. Then it went over the ledge.  I cried, “Nooooooo!”

 

I woke up.  Thanks for your help.

S.J.

 

 

Dear S.J.

Dogs in a dream can mean many things, but I believe because you used to have a little black dog as a pet, the dog in this dream is probably representing a “pet” issue or project. Probably one that you are trying to push through.  Let’s look at the symbols more closely.

Concrete = man-made path, (a path that is being followed by human effort – as opposed to                                       God’s direction)

Bridge = a time of transition

Baby = a new work, a new project, or a new beginning

Stroller = a vehicle in which to operate or push the work/project forward

Little black dog = a “pet” issue or “pet” project

Ledge = a place of plummeting or going down

 

With the symbol meanings, this dream might be saying:

You are on a path, or direction, of your own choosing (you want to do) regarding some kind of situation/work/project. You are in a time of transition while tending to, and trying to push forward this new work (project). This is a “pet” project (one that’s caught your interest). Suddenly, the project goes awry and goes down.  You are upset about the loss.

 

This might be a work situation, a personal situation, or ministry situation that you are involved in, but it appears it will not work out in the long run.  It also appears that this isn’t necessarily a God-directed activity but more something you are wanting to do (man-made path).  Unfortunately, it won’t last.  This may be speaking of something you have already been involved in, or something you are involved in now, or in the future.

 

I feel strongly the Lord gave you this dream because He is wanting to love on you about this.  He’s wanting you to know the reason this didn’t work, isn’t because of anything you’ve done wrong, but more because this is NOT something He wants you to do.  He has something else better in store for you.

Nightmare_Worm Coming out of Hand

Dear Marsha,

I’m a 45 year man who loves the Lord.  I had this horrible dream and I don’t know who the people in my dream are, but this is weird.

I dreamed:

I was working on the back side of my hand on a bump. I pinched it and a thread of blood appeared. It was very thin. I rubbed the back of my hand and a worm, the thickness of pencil lead, came out through the skin. Conversation was going on about this with other people around.  Then, a big worm comes out of my hand through skin.  It is white, looks like a grub worm.  I knock it away. 

I know I need to go to the doctor.  I know I need to have my body detoxed and cleaned.

A woman, whose face is hard to see, with black, black, black hair is there. A man whose face I can’t see is there. A white man is there with dark-colored hair.

I wake up. It was awful.

A.B.F.

 

Hey A.B.F.,

Wow. This is pretty intense.  The symbols will help us see what this is about.

Hand = work

Back side = something “behind” the scene of the work – in the “background”

Blood = hurt

Rubbed = worried/concerned

Worm = worming way into something

Grub worm = worming way into something and doing damage to people (the grass)

Doctor = Jesus, the Great Physician

Detoxed = cleaned and healed from a toxic situation

Woman with black, black, black hair = probably symbolic of a Jezebel spirit, evil spirit of control and manipulation that men and women operate out of.

Man whose face I can’t see = someone turning his “face” away -hiding his identity

White man with dark colored hair = good man, or a Caucasian man, with a “dark covering” over him–someone operating under dark authority.

 

I’m going to actually put these symbol meanings into the dream and see if they will help us figure this out.  It’s chopped and hard to read, but it may bring the meaning of the dream out more clearly.

 I was working on something “behind” the scene of the work – in the                    “background” at work. I pinched it and a thread of hurt. It was very thin. I worried/concerned the something “behind” the scene of work – in the “background” of my work and a worming way into something, the thickness of pencil lead, came out through the skin. Conversation was going on about this with other people around.  Then, a big worming way into something comes out of my work through skin.  It is white, looks like its worming its way into something and doing damage to people (the grass).  I knock it away. 

I know I need to go to Jesus, the Great Physician.  I know I need to have my body cleaned and healed from a toxic situation.

An evil spirit of control and manipulation is there. Someone turning his “face” away-hiding his identity is there.   Someone operating under dark authority is there.

 

A.B.F.,

I would say this speaks of some happening at your workplace (your hand) that is hurtful to you.  Since the blood is “thin” it might not be as hurtful to you, as to others, but you are feeling definite pain from it.  This is a situation at work with something going on in the background.  Someone has wormed their way into a situation and done damage.  The Lord gave you this dream to tell you that you need to go to Jesus to heal from this hurt done to you and others, and to get rid of the bitterness from this toxic situation.   Damage was done through a spirit of control and manipulation. Someone is hiding their identity and someone is operating under dark authority.

Marsha

 

Follow-up to this—A.B.F-responded – from A.B.F to Marsha:

I had no idea this dream could be about my work, but this makes total sense.  I work for a large corporation in a large city.  Recently, a guy “wormed” his way into the facility. He pretended to be a friend of my co-workers and me. He worked there awhile.  We spent time together.  We found out this guy was sent by the head office and is implementing a program from the head office to do changes in our facility. These changes will get rid of some of us.  I think my job is safe, but I very much feel betrayed by how this guy acted, and how he was pretending.

 

From Marsha to A.B.F.,

Again, I want to point you to your dream that your loving Father God gave you.  Through this dream it appears the Lord is saying, indeed, this was wrong what was done to you and your coworkers, but He is telling you to seek Jesus’ for healing for yourself and to not let the hurt (maybe bitterness) go untreated.

 

Getting a Million Dollars

Hello Marsha,

I trust that all is well with you! I am reaching out to you for help again. You helped me with a dream that I had back in 2014, and now that dream is starting to just now make more sense to me.

I really need your help with this dream that I had at the beginning of the year. Since then, God has referred me back to this dream. I feel like this is a supernatural dream, but would really like to get a more experienced person to help give me some insight regarding this dream.

I know that you might be busy, so whenever you get a moment to look at this dream it would be GREATLY appreciated. FYI: I have a lot of dreams that are associated with finances. This is one of the most vivid ones that I have had. And this one also has timing attached to it. Help!

Thanks,

C.L.

My dream:

  • I had a dream that some lady from a bank called me and began to talk, but I asked her to hold on while I find a pen, and something to write on. While I was looking for these items, my cousins, and somebody else, was standing there saying something to me.   I replied to her that “I am not concerned about me and my husband’s situation, and our mortgage being paid off. I am concerned more about the other, outside, news that I keep getting.”  Anyway, I return back to the phone, but they had me on hold. I could hear all of the office background noise. I was hollering thru the phone, “Hello. Hello”… but no one could hear me, and I was thinking I need to write this number down just in case they hang up the phone. I remember the area code starting with 918.
  •  
  • Finally some guy picked up the phone and started talking, but I couldn’t hardly hear him. I remember moving from room to room, trying to hear him. My cousin was in a room with a lot of people watching TV, and making a lot of noise, so I couldn’t go into that room. I finally found a quiet place, and he was still talking, but I still couldn’t hear him. I finally said, “Sir, I can’t hear you.”
  •  
  • He did a phone check and said, “Can you hear me now? Can you hear me now?”
  •  
  • I said, “Yes.”
  •  
  • He was saying something happened with the bank, and HUD, and the selling of some homes. Again, I am still confused.
  •  
  • He chuckled and said, “When this is over, can you just pay for me to stay on vacation?”
  •  
  • I was confused by his comment. (I thought he was implying that I was about to receive enough money for me, to pay for him, not to work again.)
  •  
  • The dream switched and I walked into a former coworker’s office. (Someone I like and respect.) It was so sunny and bright in his office.
  •  
  • He said to me, “Hey, what’s going on?” I said, “Hey.”
  •  
  • He didn’t waste any time and said, “Well, I can’t promise you billions of dollars, but you will be receiving a check for over a million dollars.”
  •  
  • I said, “What?” in shock. Then, I said, “How soon should I expect this money?”
  • He said, “Within the next month and a half.”
  •  
  • I just started crying profusely. I kneeled down on my knees and was saying “You just don’t understand. You don’t understand.” I Iaid my head on his lap, and begin to thank him as he consoled me. I finally got up and left his office.
  •  
  • The first thing I said was, “Oh, God! I’ve got to find my best friend and tell her this is what her “popping of the champagne bottle dream” meant. I said, “Oh, my God. We are about to celebrate!” [I also thought about the balloon pop that I heard in the spirit a few days before.] Anyway, there were cars passing by. I was so excited, hoping my friend was in one of the cars, so that I could share the news with her.
  •  
  • The scene switched as I walked into some place where two old childhood friends were. One of them started talking to me but I am still somewhat shocked by the news I had just received.
  •  
  • She said, “I just talked to [the name of my old childhood friend] and girl, she told me that the reason she is not coming, is because she lost her glasses. She said, “Girl, she ain’t doing nothing but lying.”
  •  
  • I am just looking at her. I was standing there physically, but not really there in heart and spirit, as I was still stunned from the news I had just received.
  •  
  • My childhood friend’s brother said, “[The name of my cousin] and them…” and he didn’t complete the sentence. My old childhood friend got up, and she, and her brother, just walked away.
  • I woke up!

 

 

Marsha here.

Hi again, C.L.   In a nutshell, I believe this dream is saying:

You will be receiving some major healing from an issue put upon you as a child, possibly by old friends (of you or your family) or possibly by your extended family. 

How did I get that????!  Well, let’s break things down and look closer at it.  Because this dream is long and convoluted, I’m putting some interpretation in each segment

  • Scene 1
  • I had a dream that some lady from a bank called me (Someone wanted to talk about blessings/ healing from some bondage issue/ or something to do with financial dealings) and began to talk, but I asked her to hold on while I find a pen, and something to write (You put this “on hold” until you can get better prepared to talk about it.) 
  •  While I was looking for these items my cousins and somebody else was standing there saying something to me. (Your extended family is wanting “a say” in this.)
  • I said to her that “I am not concerned about me and my husband’s situation and our mortgage being paid off, (you’re not concerned about things at home)I am concerned more about the other, outside news that I keep getting. (This is about something outside your home environment). 
  •  Anyway I returned back to the phone but they had me on hold but I could hear all of the office background noise.(You are being stalled while trying to get information you want) 
  •  I was hollering thru the phone, “Hello. Hello”…(you try to expedite things) no one could hear me (not getting anywhere) and I was thinking I need to write this number down just in case they hang up the phone.. I remember the area code starting with 918. (may be something to do with Oklahoma/Tulsa or something to do with harvest/judgment (9) relating to a bondage issue (18)
  •  Finally, some guy picks up the phone and starts talking, but I could hardly hear him… (Finally, you start to get some information but it’s “hard to hear” – i.e.: hard to receive).  I remembered moving from room to room trying to hear him (You explore different areas of your life, including your extended family) … my cousin was in a room with a lot of people watching TV and making a lot of noise so I couldn’t go into that room. (Can’t go into the extended family area of your life as there is a lot of “static” there).
  •  I finally found a quiet place (in a “good place” emotionally)and the guy was still talking but I couldn’t hear him. I finally said, “Sir, I can’t hear you.” (But still can’t “hear” or understand what it is that is being spoken to you. You speak up about it).
  •  He did a phone check and said, “Can you hear me now? Can you hear me now?” I said, “Yes.” He was saying something happened with the bank, and HUD, and the selling of some homes. Again, I am still confused. (You are now hearing, and beginning to understand and learn that the problem you are dealing with was not of your making — it was dependent on outside forces too big for you to control). 
  •  He chuckled and said, “When this is over, can you just pay for me to stay on vacation?” I was confused by his comment. (He was implying that I was about to receive enough money for me to pay for him not to work again)  (You receive a word that this time of frustration will end).

 

  • Scene 2:
  • The dream switched and I walked into a former coworker’s office, It was so sunny and bright in his office.(You will go back to past blessings/healings/financial dealings which are bright). He said to me, “Hey. What’s going on?”  I said, “Hey.” He didn’t waste any time. He said, ”Well, I can’t promise you billions of dollars but you will be receiving a check for over a million dollars. (There is a promise of receiving a large quantity of blessings/healings/financial dealings within the next month and half). 
  •  I said, “What?” in shock. Then, I said, “How soon should I expect this money?” He said, “Within the next month and a half.
  •  I just started crying profusely. I kneeled down on my knees and was saying, “You just don’t understand. You don’t understand.” I laidmy head on his lap, and begin to thank him as he consoled me.  (On your knees thankful for the word). 
  •  I finally got up and left his office and the first thing I said was, “Oh God. I got to find my best friend and tell her this is what her “popping of the champagne bottle dream” meant. I said,”Oh my God. We are about to celebrate!” [I also thought about the balloon pop that I heard in the spirit a few days before.] Anyway the cars that were passing by I was so excited hoping my best friend was in any car so that I could share the news with her. (Excited and want to share and celebrate this message with close friends (whoever your friend Josie represents).

 

  • Scene 3
  • The scene switched as I walked in some place where two old childhood friends were. One of them started talking to me while I am still somewhat shocked of the news that I had just received.(In relation to this, you’ll be going back into areas (possibly emotionally) of old friends and an era of your childhood.)  
  •  She said, “I just talked to [the name of my old childhood friend] and girl, she told me that the reason she is not coming is because she lost her glasses. She said, “Girl, she ain’tdoing nothing but lying.” I am just looking at her, I was standing there physically but not really there in heart and spirit still stunned from the news I had just received.  You’ll find things are different than you remember them being.  One old friend (whoever your friend represents) lost her ability to “see” or understand spiritual things (glasses) and is lying (probably to herself and others).   
  •  My childhood friend’s brother said, “[The name of my cousin] and them…” and he didn’t complete the sentence. My old childhood friend got up, and she, and her brother just walked away. (There’s still incomplete answers about your extended family)

 

Summary of interpretation:

Dream of 01/27/18

    • Scene 1
    • Someone wanted to talk about (blessings/ healing from some bondage issue/or about something to do with financial dealings). You put it “on hold” until you can get better prepared to talk about it. 
    • While getting prepared, you realize that your extended family is wanting “a say” in this.
    • You’re not concerned about things at home with your husband. This is about something outside your house. 
    • You are being stalled while trying to get the information/help you want.
    • You try to expedite things, but are not getting anywhere. This issue may be something to do with (Oklahoma/Tulsa or something to do with harvest/judgment [9] relating to a bondage issue [18]).  
    • Finally, you start to get some information but it’s “hard to hear” – i.e.: hard to receive. You explore different areas of your life, including your extended family. You can’t go into the extended family area of your life as there is a lot of “static” there.
    • You are in a “good place” emotionally, but still can’t (“hear”/or understand/or receive) what it is that is being spoken to you. You speak up about it.
    • You are now hearing and beginning to understand the problem you are dealing with was not of your making — it was caused by outside forces too big for you to control.
    • You receive a word that this time of frustration for you will end and you will not need to be asking for help
  • Scene 2
  • You will go back to past (blessings/healings/financial dealings) which are bright.  There, you find a promise of receiving a large quantity of (blessings/healings/financial dealings) within the next month and half.   You are on your knees, thankful for the word.  Excited, you want to share and celebrate this message with a close friend (whoever your best friend represents- may not be herself).

 

  • Scene 3
  • In relation to this, you’ll be going back into areas (possibly emotionally) of old friends and an era of your childhood. You’ll find things are different than you remember them being.  One old friend has lost her ability to “see” or understand spiritual things (glasses) and is lying (probably to herself and others).  There’s still incomplete answers about your extended family)

 

 

C.L.,

Money may represent many things, as the verse “Lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven… Mt 6:20,” or it may represent God’s favor and blessing and grace (Gen 47:15; Is 40:10).  By using the number “a million” it is more of a caricature (an over-exaggeration as in political cartoons) to emphasize the largeness of the blessing, grace, etc.  Also, we know this is a metaphor/symbol, because your dream was Jan 27, 2018, so a month and half after that would have been in the middle of March. And, unless you received a million dollars in the middle of March 2018, then this must be symbolic.  (Sorry for the bad news – but obviously the benefit of favor, blessing and grace, according to God, is worth a million dollars.)

These blessings/ healings/etc. could be in the form of friends, jobs, babies, or healing of some area that has long been a struggle.  In fact, since the number:  918 was displayed in the dream, this favor and grace and blessing issue may very well be in the form of coming out of some kind of “bondage-issue.”  Possibly, some abuse, or hurt, put upon you as a child, that you are still carrying as a burden.

In a nutshell, I may be wrong, and you can pray about all of this and see what the Holy Spirit is saying to you, but I sense the interpretation is that:

You will be receiving some major healing from an issue put upon you as a child, possibly by old friends (of you or your family) or possibly by your extended family. 

 

Hope this helps.

Holding a Fire Extinguisher

Dear Marsha,

Here’s a second dream I had of fires.  I dreamed:

  • The whole family was in the backyard having fun. We started walking down the side yard on the east side of the house. I was in the back when I saw a small fire in the side yard that everyone else walked past. I found myself holding a fire extinguisher. I checked the pressure gauge and it read almost empty. As I put out the fire, I noticed that the extinguisher was barely putting any retardant out. Once the fire was out, I looked up and the whole sky was orange.

What is the meaning of this dream?

KMan

 

Dear KMan,

Let’s look at some of these symbols.

The whole family = dealing with a family issue

In the backyard = behind the scenes

Side yard = a side issue

Small fire = problem needing immediate attention

Everyone else walked past = no one else is noticing it

Fire extinguisher = ability to put out the (fire) problem issue

Sky = spiritual things

Orange = power

 

Looking at the dream with the symbols, it pretty much says:

  • Dealing with a family issue behind the scenes. A side issue had a problem that needed immediate attention. No one else is noticing the problem. I do and find a have the ability to solve the problem. I am concerned about the pressure and check into it and realize there is almost no pressure. I solve the problem even though I notice there is not a lot of effort put out.  Once the problem is solved, I realize spiritually I have power.

To paraphrase this, this interpretation might be saying:

  • You have an ability, with little effort, or pressure to solve problems/issues that others may not even see.

 

Wow. Good word Kman!

Marsha

Saved by Helicopter

Hi Marsha,

I had three dreams the same night. Fire was in all of them.  Here is the first. Can you tell me what it might mean?

  • The dream starts with me walking outside out of a dark hallway into the outside and the sun. I look around and there are 4 large groups of armed individuals looking for two of my friends. One of the groups to my right is leapfrogging forward to keep from being picked off one by one.  I start to walk toward the farthest group to my right as they leapfrog forward again, to an object covered by a blue tarp. They stand there for about ten seconds, then they begin to run back the way they came. The group stops, but two individuals that were not in the group before keep running. I recognize my friends, and run after them still disguised as one of the armed men. I outpace everyone else chasing them, and when I get close I drop my disguise and yell hello. They are both shocked and one comments, “You’re alive?” Painted/projected onto the ground are two lines, parallel to each other, about ten to fifteen feet apart. The near one is red and the far one is black. I make it across both lines and turn around with my pistol in my hand and open fire at the chasers with no visible affect. One of my friends collapse just on the far side of the red line, and one of them makes it across the black line. We both yell that he can make it, and he then moves across both lines by crawling. I look back at our pursuers and they have all stopped. When I look back down, there is a black circle on the ground, and when we all stand in it a helicopter appears and lowers a SPIE extraction rope and we all hook on, and I wake.

 Signed,K.Man

Dear KMan,

Three dreams with Fire —amazing.  Fire is often a symbol of power of the Word of God/or power of the Holy Spirit.  Let’s look at this dream.

The symbols may be:

Out of dark hallway and into the outside sun = leaving time of transition and coming into period of understanding (the light).

4 = all directions (four corners of the earth); or worldly things (Exo 25:34, Rev 19:4).

Groups of armed individuals = groups with power

Leapfrogging forward = expanding further into a direction by using the previous point of reference.

Blue = depressing

Tarp = man-made covering to hide and keep things under-wraps

Still disguised as one of the armed men = still seen as an enemy trying to exert power

Alive = spiritual life awakened

Red line= bloodshed

Black line = death to the “old man”

Pistol = power

Crawling = on knees – with prayer

Circle = covenantal relationship (Gen 41:42, Hag 2:23)

Helicopter = spiritual ministry

SPIE (Special Patrol Insertion) extraction rope = tool to reach out and rescue behind enemy lines

 

Inserting the symbolic meanings, the dream might read more like this:

  • The dream starts with me leaving time of transition and coming into period of understanding (the light). I look around and there are all directions from all four corners of the earth worldly things large groups with power looking for two of my friends. One of the groups with power to my right is expanding further into a direction by using the previous point of reference.  I start to walk toward the farthest group to my right as they expanding further into a direction by using the previous point of reference again, to an object covered by a depressing man-made covering to hide and keep things under-wraps. They stand there for about ten seconds, then they begin to run back the way they came. The group stops, but two individuals that were not in the group before keep running. I recognize my friends, and run after seen as an enemy trying to exert power. I outpace everyone else chasing them, and when I get close I drop my disguise and yell hello. They are both shocked and one comments, “You’re spiritual life awakened?” Painted/projected onto the ground are two lines, parallel to each other, about ten to fifteen feet apart. The near one is bloodshed and the far one is death to the “old man”. I make it across both lines and turn around with my power in my hand and open fire at the chasers with no visible affect. One of my friends collapse just on the far side of the blood shed line, and one of them makes it across the death to the “old man” line. We both yell that he can make it, and he then moves across both lines by on knees–with prayer. I look back at our pursuers and they have all stopped. When I look back down, there is a covenantal relationship on the ground, and when we all stand in it a spiritual ministry appears and lowers a tool to reach out and rescue behind enemy lines and we all hook on, and I wake.

I would say this dream may be paraphrased and say the following:

  • You use power that you are gifted with, but don’t have the ability to get rid of two friends’ problems, or issues, that are bothering them.  However, still, you wind up helping these friends by encouraging them through their ordeals. First they cross into a (red line) of understanding the “bloodshed” of Jesus, then they cross the (black line) into receiving the death to the “old  man,” or rebirth into Christ.  Even though at first they don’t see you “as a friend,” and “helpful,” they come around to seeing it.  You encourage them into a covenantal relationship, (the same one you are in), and once they are there, they, and of course you too, have the ability to receive rescue from their problems through a spiritual ministry.

 

 This is a dream of your willingness and power to help others.

Old Friend from Childhood

Dear Marsha,

Here’s a dream for you.  I dreamed:

I was with a friend, she was an old friend from childhood. Leslie. I was on the toilet which also had a bed beside it.  She was on it.  I remember thinking she had an awful mess in her home because there was a half-eaten spare-rib and small corn on the cob on the floor next to the toilet.

I remember thinking my house was not nearly as messy as I thought.

She was talking on and on about her mental illness and suffering.

Then, we were walking to her car. She looked at her phone and said, “Friggin Raisin.”  Then I realized she was saying the name of her ex-husband, Reyes. We got in the car and I sat in the back seat. She began texting and driving, so I panicked and told her to please stop.  She refused. I got so afraid I told her to pull over so I could get out. She left me by this blue bridge I could walk over.  I lived just right over that bridge.

What is the meaning of this dream?

Olive

 

Dear Olive,

Let’s look at some of these symbols.

 

An old childhood friend = something/someone alongside you in your childhood

Leslie = from the low meadow / remembered (see The Name Book by Dorothy Astoria)

Toilet = a place to get rid of toxins and wastes in your life

Bed = a place of privacy (Micah 2:1); those in relationship with (of like mind with) (Is 57:7)

Meat = mature spiritual learning (Gen 9:3, Heb 5:12-14)

Spare-rib = sparse mature spiritual learning

Corn = amount of God’s seed

Floor = foundation

House = you, your personal life and relationships

Walking = going in the direction of

Car =ministry/work

Phone = spiritual line of communication (uses “air” waves – air=spiritual)

Raisin = dried-up “fruit” (results)

Ex-husband = one used to be in close/intimate covenant with

Reyes = counselor (see The Name Book by Dorothy Astoria)

Back seat = not in control

Texting and driving = carelessly in control

Bridge = a transition period

Blue = depression

Now, just for fun, let’s substitute the symbolic meanings into the dream. This is going to read very sloppy and be difficult.  If you don’t want to go through this process, skip on down to the “paraphrasing”.

I was with something/someone alongside me in my childhood. From the low meadow / remembered. I was on the place to get rid of toxins and wastes in my life which also had a place of privacy/those in relationship with (of like mind with) beside it.  Something/someone alongside me in my childhood was on it.  I remember thinking something/someone alongside me in my childhood had an awful mess in the home because there was sparse mature spiritual learning and small amount of God’s seed on the foundation next to a place to get rid of toxins and wastes in my life.

I remember thinking my personal life and relationships was not nearly as messy as I thought.

Something/someone alongside me in my childhood was talking on and on about something/someone alongside me in my childhood’s mental illness and suffering.

Then, something/someone alongside me in my childhood and I were going in the direction of something/someone alongside me in my childhood work. Something/someone alongside me in my childhood looked at something/someone alongside me in my childhood spiritual line of communication and said, dried-up results.  Then I realized something/someone alongside me in my childhood was saying the name of one used to be in close/intimate covenant with something/someone alongside me in my childhood. I sat not in control. Something/someone alongside me in my childhood began carelessly in control, so I panicked and told to please stop.  Something/someone alongside me in my childhood refused. I got so afraid I told her to pull over so I could get out. She left me by this depression transition period I could walk over.  I lived just right over that transition period.

 

To paraphrase this, this interpretation might be saying:

You are being “visited” by an “old friend from childhood (memories of suffering leading to depression). This happens while you are in a place of rest (bed) and a place of getting rid of toxic/wasteful things (toilet) from your past.  You realize this brings remembrances of mess and sparseness of the “meaty” teachings (spare-rib half-eaten) of Jesus and it brings small amounts of things to grow on (seed=corn).  You begin to believe your current situation is not as bad as you thought when you compare it to the past. You are in the back seat (not actively choosing this direction).  You dislike the way this is going, so you “get off the ride”. You are left in a depressing transition time but know that you just need to walk through it.

 

A more simple paraphrase might be:

You are remembering suffering from your childhood and how you didn’t get strong teachings of Jesus.  In looking back, you realize your current situation is not as bad as you thought.  It’s depressing to think back on these things and it puts you in a depression for a time until you can drop it again.

 

 

 

 

 

Follow GPS or Not

Dear Marsha,

I had the following dream.  What do you think it means?

I was driving in a van with my family to get to the airport.  It was kind of dark.  It was uphill.  I was following a GPS and turned right. 

 At the top of the hill I stopped.  I could see the airport ahead and below.  The GPS said to “go forward” but I was at a cliff and if I went forward I would drive off the cliff. I knew I would be in trouble if I followed the GPS.

I woke up.

Signed,

G.S.

 

Dear G.S.,

I love GPS’s.  Don’t know how I would get around in all the strange cities I find myself in, without them.  But that is reality.  Let’s look at this dream and look at the dream symbols metaphorically.

The symbols might be:

Driving = in control of/in charge of

Van= family unit

My family = your actual family

Airport = waiting while being made ready for ministry or work or a way of getting somewhere

Dark/dusk = often portrays “plans the enemy” has for you

Uphill = a struggle

GPS = Global positioning System, the logic of the world, the earthly (global) position

Cliff = destruction

 

If you put these symbols together in the dream, the dream is saying:

You are in control of a family situation/journey to get somewhere. It’s a struggle.  If you take the earthly position it will be destructive (take you off a cliff). 

The inference from this dream is that you need to use the “spiritual” position instead of the “earthly position in leading your family forward.  Believe this is telling you to pray, ask ‘What would Jesus do?’, and go forward following Christ.

What a great dream!

Buying an Antique Car

Dear Marsha,

I had this dream. Don’t know why I’m buying an antique car. I like cars but this doesn’t make sense.

Here’s the dream:

I buy an antique car.  The sides are open and there is no stuff inside the sides of the car. The car doesn’t work.  I wonder why I bought this car.

I woke up.

Signed,

Tee

 

Dear Tee,

Let’s look at the symbols:

 

Antique = old antiquated, not for current times

Car =  work/ministry

Sides = no stuff, no protection for you

 

Putting these symbols into the dream, it might be saying:

The job you are “buying into” is old and not current for your current situation.  There’s no protection for you.  It is not working for you.  

 Possibly, this is about a work you are doing that is not good for your current situation.

Marsha

Follow=up

Tee advised me he has been driving a truck for his job and it is not “working” for him due to several factors.  He has been feeling that he needs to make major changes in his life. Others have told him this also.  He feels this dream and its interpretation is a word of confirmation to him.  Marsha

 

 

Tiger Wants to Devour Me

Tiger Wants to Devour Me

 

Hello Marsha,

Last night I dreamed the following:

 

A tiger came to devour me. He didn’t. Instead, he kept me afraid for a long time. He was like a tiger, but also a man. We spent time together in what seemed like a living room and I kept planning my escape. I managed to sneak away a fork and put it in my back pocket. I kept it there for when I saw that I would need it. I imagined I could use it as a weapon and poke out an eye or something the minute he attacked me. 

          I managed to escape for a while, but he pursued me.

 

Do you think this dream has meaning?

T.O.F

 

Dear T.O.F.

The symbols point a direction:

 

          Tiger = fierce attack, false authority, evil

          Devour me = destroy me

          Spent time together in living room = spent time in an area of your life

          Fork = junction, separating away from

          Back pocket = hidden and ready to use if necessary

 

After inserting the symbolic meanings in the dream, and paraphrasing, the interpretation could be as follows:
There has been a fierce attack on you, possibly by a false authority/or from someone with authority over you that has come at you.  This is someone you have spent time with, in an area of your life.  You are very aware of the problem and contemplate ways to escape it. You decide you can always separate away from the person if necessary, and are ready to do this, if need be.   Even though you are able to avert the attacks for a while, it just keeps coming.

 

Like your last dream titled “Boss said Too Cold” this dream also describes a season of you enduring betrayal by fierce attack from someone who is supposed to be an authority over you.  This also speaks of your desire to escape the situation.

Again, I believe the Lord is giving you these dreams as He is wanting to do some inner healing in you in this area of life.

Swap V6 for a V8

Swap V6 for a V8

 

 

 

Dear Marsha,

Here is my dream.

I was driving a full size Toyota Pickup Truck with a V8 in it.  It was running very rough and smoking.  Someone suggested I drop a V6 from a Toyota Car in it to solve the problem.  I did it and the truck ran smoothly.

What do you think?

M.W.

 

 

Dear M.W.

Looking at the Symbols:

Driving = something you are in control or

Pickup Truck = ministry/work that can handle rough terrain

V8 = a large force of power

V6 = a smaller force of power

Applying these symbols, I believe this says:

A ministry/work that you are in charge of can handle hard times and rough terrain.  But there is too much force (it’s overpowering) and subsequently it’s not going well.  Cut back on the force (power) going into it and it will go much smoother.

This might mean, if your ministry is dealing with people, try a more gentle approach.
