Hi Marsha,
This one is long and a bit…”convoluted.” -lol. I hope you’re ready. (:
Thankx,

The Dream:
Scene 1:
I was wandering around a ‘closed’ city looking for the place where my belongings were. I went in with someone (?) but couldn’t find the location. I knew the place but couldn’t find it.
Scene 2:
Walking around with a friend’s dog. I see the place off in the far distance, about a block away, to the ‘right’ (It was like being on a Hollywood set from back in the 20’s with a dirt road and buildings on both sides of the road. The door where my things were located was black). I knew I couldn’t take the dog there.
Scene 3:
Two pickup trucks go up in the air as though a bomb went off but no bomb. It was kind of like they spun in a whirlwind but there was no whirlwind. One truck landed on its side. It was champagne color. I knew help was needed to ‘right’ the truck. Two guys showed up. One fixed the truck.
Scene 4:
I’m in a place like a mall going to an ATM for money. The person with me is expecting me to give him a certain amount of money. It’s his machine and his money. I’m just asked to retrieve it for him. After I retrieved the amount he requested, coins begin pouring out like crazy. I gave him the cash he requested plus the coins. He paused, then entrusted me with a black garbage bag filled with money. There’s another bag filled with belongings from the truck.
Scene 5:
We’re outside. A woman walks over asking for help. She looks like someone I know. In the dream I knew who she was but I wasn’t 100% certain when I woke up and began writing. My thought was that it was my daughter’s friend Kim. Her mascara was running. I’m unable to help her but I offer to pray. The man holding the bag seems surprised but glad. She sits down on the ground (in the dirt) and as I pray coins begin falling in front of her. I remind her that the coins aren’t hers and she should be honest.
Scene 6:
(My notes say “out of order?” There was so many parts to this dream that the following paragraph may have happened before the previous one)
Back to the closed city I recognized the building where my belongings were. I walked through the door. It all looked familiar. I walked right to where my things were.
Scene 7:
I’m rewarded with the champagne colored pickup truck (the one from the whirlwind) and it’s like brand new. On top of the cab is lots of sod; so much that it’s hanging over on one side. It seems like a good thing. Next I’m standing in a restaurant next to a male and I’m dressed as a hostess. The table is ready for the guests and I’m just taking it all in; proud, like I own the restaurant.
Hi DY, Marsha here:
Thank you for sending this long convoluted dream. I usually post shorter ones because these go on and on and the readers may lose interest, or be overwhelmed. But, I believe I should post a few of these long ones to let you readers out there know that this is a “typical Christian dream”. Christian dreams are usually very long and convoluted. They can be overwhelming. So let’s use this one as a learning tool.
FIRST: The first thing we do is look at the beginning of the dream (the first couple of sentences) and the end of the dream (the last couple of sentences).
OKAY….the BEGINNING of the dream is:
I was wondering around a ‘closed’ city looking for the place where my belongings were. I went in with someone but couldn’t find the location.
Now, the END of the dream:
I’m standing in a restaurant next to a male and I’m dressed as a hostess. The table is ready for the guests and I’m just taking it all in; proud, like I own the restaurant.
This kind of summarizes the dream. Just looking at these two pieces and applying their symbols, they might mean:
You are having to leave your “baggage from the past” (belongings) behind (can’t find them) and you are later in a place where you are ministering to others, (feeding them) which means offering them good teachings.
SECOND: Let’s look at the full dream and figure out what it’s saying. Because it’s so long, I’m going to do this by scene.
Scene 1:
I was wandering around a ‘closed’ city (place of living that is now closed off to you) looking for (pondering or looking back at) the place where my belongings (my past baggage/issues) were. I went in with someone (at my side is a “friend”) but couldn’t find the location (can’t go back to that old place). I knew the place but couldn’t find it.
Summary Scene 1: You are looking back at a place that is now closed off to you.
Scene 2:
Walking around with a friend’s (Jesus/ a friend) dog (follower). I see the place off in the far distance, about a block away, to the ‘right’ (It was like being on a Hollywood set from back in the 20’s with a dirt road and buildings on both sides of the road. The door where my things were located was black (not of God). I knew I couldn’t take the dog there.
Summary Scene 2: You have someone that is with you that is a follower of Jesus. You don’t want to take this person to those dark areas.
Scene 3:
Two (2) pickup trucks (ministry or works that are able to traverse difficult terrains) go up in the air (fast spiritual change) as though a bomb went off but no bomb. It was kind of like they spun in a whirlwind but there was no whirlwind. One truck (one ministry / work) landed on its side (went on the side line). It was champagne color (spiritual hue). I knew help was needed to ‘right’ the truck (right the ministry). Two guys (angels/ men) showed up. One fixed the truck (one fixed the ministry/work).
Summary Scene 3: This scene deals with ministry issue.
You have seen 2 ministries/or works that designed to handle people in difficult circumstances. One of these is a spiritual ministry and it was put on the sideline. Someone tried to help and someone (maybe the Lord) actually did help and brought the spiritual ministry on track.
Scene 4:
I’m in a place like a mall (life situation) going to an ATM for money (how you keep and deal with your finances). The person with me (friend/Jesus/Holy Spirit) is expecting me to give him a certain amount of money (expectation of tithe/offerings). It’s his machine and his money. (Lord’s money) I’m just asked to retrieve it for him. After I retrieved the amount he requested (obeyed money commands), coins begin pouring out like crazy (financial blessings came pouring out like crazy). I gave him the cash he requested plus the coins (tried to give the Lord back some of the extra blessings). He paused, then entrusted me with a black garbage bag filled with money (in response the Lord gave even more blessings) There’s another bag filled with belongings from the truck (also blessings from the ministry).
Summary Scene 4: This scene deals with money issues.
Regarding dealing with your financial issues, the Lord expects you to give tithe and offerings. When you do this, you are crazily blessed by the Lord.
Scene 5:
We’re outside. A woman walks over asking for help (women needing help). She looks like someone I know (women who you know- who are in your everyday life). In the dream I knew who she was but I wasn’t 100% certain when I woke up and began writing. My thought was that it was my daughter’s friend Kim (women younger (more immature in the Lord who you are mentoring). Her mascara was running (their mask/makeup is coming apart – they are dealing with difficulty). I’m unable to help her (on your own, you are unable to help) but I offer to pray (through prayer you are very helpful) . The man holding the bag seems surprised but glad (Lord is glad). She sits down on the ground (in the dirt) (in things of the world) and as I pray coins begin falling in front of her (blessing befalls her/them). I remind her that the coins aren’t hers and she should be honest (speak into them of the Lord’s mercy and grace).
Summary Scene 5: This scene deals with your individual efforts to help others. You are anointed to pray for hurting women. Through your prayers they will be helped greatly. You will be speaking the Lord’s mercy and grace into their lives.
Scene 6:
Back to the closed city I recognized the building where my belongings were. I walked through the door. It all looked familiar. I walked right to where my things were.
Summary Scene 6: This scene says now you are able to look back at your old stuff. After you’ve experienced the things God is doing in your life, you are able to look back and evaluate your past.
Scene 7:
I’m rewarded with the champagne colored pickup truck (spiritual ministry that is tough and able to handle hard stuff) and it’s like brand new. On top of the cab is lots of sod(grass = people/ sod = people who are ready and primed for planting) ; so much that it’s hanging over on one side. It seems like a good thing(a good thing) . Next I’m standing (on solid foundation) in a restaurant (place where teachings [food] are presented to others) next to a male (Jesus/Holy Spirit) and I’m dressed (have a covering) as a hostess (one who is providing to others). The table (place of communion)is ready for the guests and I’m just taking it all in; proud, like I own the restaurant.
Summary Scene 7: This scene speaks of your calling. You will be in charge of a strong tough spiritual ministry that will provide good teachings to others.
A synopsis of these scenes and a total summary of the dream interpretation is as follows:
You needed to leave your own baggage behind for a season while you experienced things in order to prepare you for your calling. Some of the things you will be (or did) experience are discernment with others, ministry problems, financial alignment especially as it relates to tithing and offerings, and an intercessory prayer ministering to others. After a time, you were (will be) able to look back and deal with your past. Your calling is a spiritual ministry where you are in charge of providing good teachings to others and preparing them to become planted.
This dream is a good one to show how to break down the meanings. And how to look at the beginning and the end and quickly summarize the dream. If you go back to the beginning and the end of this dream, you can see that the meaning is very close to the final dream interpretation synopsis. Fascinating how that works!!!
God Bless You,
Marsha
