Marsha,
I’d like to send you another dream.
Thankx,
DY
Hello DY,
I’m glad you sent this dream. I want to remind the readers that you sent the last dream also that was very long (seven scenes) titled: Walk Beyond Closed City. These two dreams appear to be very different, but when broken down and interpreted are really pretty much the same dream. Interesting, huh?
I thought this would be a great follow-up to the long dream previously posted. So here goes.
Marsha
Dream:
I was going on a cruise by myself. On my way to the ship I crossed over a high bridge. Hung from the bridge was a VERY LONG, light blue dress. It was simply but formal. I knew it was mine. It rained and the dress got wet. The bottom of it reached a river that turned brown from the rain so the very bottom of the dress got dirty. As I entered the ship the dress was wrinkled. I was excited and anxious to get to my cabin but the doors I needed to enter were all closed. They were like elevator doors. As they opened there was an elderly couple there. I let them go first. I was anxious but patient. As I entered the doorway I realized I forgot my things-dress, purse, cruise ticket. I went back and it was there. I explained to a young woman that my dress got wet.
Marsha here. I’m going to restate the dream inserting some of the symbol meanings:
I was going on a cruise by myself (a journey moving with the flow of the Lord you are taking alone) On my way to the ship (large ministry of God) I crossed over a high bridge (high in the spirit time of transition). Hung from the bridge (during this transition period waiting for you) was a VERY LONG (of great magnitude), light blue (man’s spirit) dress (defines who you are). It was simply but formal (of the Lord without pretense). I knew it was mine. It rained (trials came) and the dress got wet (your spirit was affected by the trials). The bottom of it reached a river that turned brown from the rain (affected by a movement of God that turned towards humanity / or away from God) so the very bottom of the dress got dirty (this affected your spirit causing it to question God). As I entered the ship the dress was wrinkled (spirit walk needed smoothing out). I was excited and anxious to get to my cabin (excited to find your place in God’s large ministry) but the doors (opportunities)I needed to enter were all closed. They were like elevator doors (opportunities to rise to a higher level).As they opened there was an elderly couple there (couple of people with God’s maturity and wisdom). I let them go first. I was anxious but patient. As I entered the doorway I realized I forgot my things-dress, purse, cruise ticket (feel you are not prepared). I went back and it was there (trying to become prepared). I explained to a young woman that my dress got wet (trying to justify/explain your past trials).
Now, to paraphrase the meanings, I believe this is a summary of the dream’s meaning. This dream is the same as the first, larger dream.
While you are on a spiritual journey to grow and to prepare you for a place in God’s large ministry, you encounter trials that affect you deeply, even affecting your spirit. It causes you to go back (or look back at such things as finances (purse) and “who you are in Christ” (dress) and whether you have God’s permission to go forth (cruise ticket). You do it, but feel you need to justify some of your past to others.
Note: this is very common to have many dreams, seemingly different, but they are all saying the same thing. God keeps trying to get the message into us. Sometimes (especially if you are me) it takes awhile.
Keep dreaming!
Marsha
