Can’t Buy Window Cleaner

 

Dear Marsha

 

I had this dream about Hal.  Hal is my husband and he is a truck driver. Can you tell me what it might mean?

 

A friend of God.
 

 

Hal was in an auto parts store trying to buy a bottle of window cleaner. He didn’t have any cash. He explained to the clerk that though he had a paycheck for over $600 from a truck driving job, he didn’t have any personal checks with him or have a bank account in town. Since the local bank didn’t know him, they just wanted him to deposit the check and wait till it cleared before they would give him any cash.

 

The clerk at the store said, “It’s too bad you don’t have a credit card.”

 

Hal said, “Oh, I do have a credit card. Do you take credit cards?”

 

She said, “No.”

 

I woke up.
 

 

Dear Friend,

 

Dreams are so strange when you look at them in the natural.  Let’s look at the metaphors of this dream.
 

 

Auto = own life/work/ministry

 

Store = place of provision (1Kgs 9:19, 1Chro 27:25)

 

Buy = obtain through recompense (Rev 5:9, 3:18)

 

Bottle = vessel or supply (Exo 37:16, 2Sam 10:19)

 

Window = revelation / ability to “see” or understand (Gen 7:11, 8:2, 2 Kgs 7:2, 7:19)

 

Cash = recompense from humanistic endeavors

 

Clerk = one in charge of distribution

 

Pay check = recompense owed from works

 

6 = man (Gen 2:2-3, 2:7, Rev 13:18)

 

600 = mankind in large quantity

 

Truck = large work

 

Driving = in control of

 

 Personal check = personal “measurement of status”

 

No deposits = no input or investments made into local places of (banks) receiving God’s favor (Gen 47:15, Is 40:10)

 

Credit cards = receive credit for
 

 

So, for fun….let’s “substitute the metaphor-meaning” into the dream.
 

 

Hal was in an = own life/work/ministry parts place of provision trying to obtain through recompense a vessel or supply of revelation / ability to “see” or understand cleaner. He didn’t have any recompense from humanistic endeavors. He explained to the one in charge of distribution that though he had a recompense owed from works for over mankind in large quantity from a large work in control of job, he didn’t have any personal “measurement of status” with him or have no input or investments made into local places of (banks) receiving God’s favor. Since the local bank didn’t know him, they just wanted him to deposit the personal “measurement of status” and wait till it cleared before they would give him any recompense from humanistic endeavors.

 

The clerk at the store said, “It’s too bad you don’t receive credit for.”

 

Hal said, “Oh, I do receive credit for. Do you take receive credit for?”

 

She said, “No.”

 

I woke up.
 

 

Okay… it looks to me that Hal is trying to obtain an increase in his ability to “see” or understand things, but he has not invested into the local places of God’s favor.  Can this be “church” maybe? 

 

Possibly this is telling Hal to receive ability to understand things of God, he needs to invest in God’s places near him.

Tulips and the Holy Spirit

 

Marsha,

 

I dreamed these a few months ago.  What do they mean?

 

F.F.

 

First Dream:
Its night time and I am outside.  There is a black fence around waist high.  A man jumps over it to be with me.  We lay down and look up at the sky.  We have our heads on the curb of the sidewalk and our bodies on the asphalt.  He has one hand under his head and his right arm around me.  I have my head on his chest.  He is wearing a blue sweatshirt and I can’t see his face, but he is brown (dark-skinned).

 

Second Dream:

 

I had tulips in a vase.  I took them out of the water and they began to die.  I put them back in the water and they lived. 

 

 Dear F.F.

Let’s look at the first dream:

Its night time and I am outside.  There is a black fence around waist high.  A man jumps over it to be with me.  We lay down and look up at the sky.  We have our heads on the curb of the sidewalk and our bodies on the asphalt.  He has one hand under his head and his right arm around me.  I have my head on his chest.  He is wearing a blue sweatshirt and I can’t see his face, but he is brown (dark-skinned).

 

Its symbols are great. 

 

Night time –  a time of being unable to “see” (understand things) clearly

 

I am outside – you feel you are “outside” of things

 

Black fence around waist high –  obstacles around you of wasteful issues

 

Man can’t see his face –  Holy Spirit

 

Wearing blue sweatshirt –  covering (shirt) of Holy Spirit’s works (sweat) is revelation (blue)

 

We lay down –  You rest in Him

 

And look at the sky –  Look at things spiritually

 

Head on curb and body on asphalt –  while body is on everyday going forward, your head is on your “side” walk i.e. your spiritual walk or ministry on the side.

 

He had arm around you –  The Holy Spirit has His arm around you.

 

I believe this is saying this is a time of being unable to “see” (understand) clearly and you are feeling you are not on the “inside track” but outside of things.  And there are barriers all around you.  But the Holy Spirit who is covered in revelation is with you and has his arms around you.

 

Now, looking at the second dream:

 

I had tulips in a vase.  I took them out of the water and they began to die.  I put them back in the water and they lived. 

 

Its symbols are also good.  Keep in mind a flower is often people whose lives are fleeting / will pass away (Mt 6:28-30, Jam 1:10)

 

 Tulips – a person who is doing speaking (two lips)

 

Vase – a vessel or vehicle to receive water

 

Water – Word of God (Nehemiah 9:15, Psalms 73:10, Isaiah 55:1, John 4:10-15)

 

Die – spiritual change / spiritual death (Leviticus 22:9, 1Samuel 2:6, Psalms 49:10, 2 Timothy 2:11)

 

I believe this is saying people  (flowers) who are speaking out (tulip – two lips – speaking) that are in a vehicle to receive the water (flow and Word of God) are alive.  When they are out of the Word of God they begin to lose their no spiritual life (die).  If they go back to the Word of God, they are alive in the spirit again.  You (as the dreamer) have a part in bringing people back to the Word of God.

 

 Both of these dreams are wonderful and speak of your relationship with the Holy Spirit and your calling to help others.

Working in a Mansion

 

Hi Marsha,

 

How are you, and God bless you. 

 

In my dream:

 

I’m in a large mansion with my family, seems to be my father’s place. We are in one of the back rooms and my dad just wants to watch TV. People come to the front door and he sends me to take care of it. I walkthrough many rooms with ornate furniture in them. I open the front door and there are a lot of people who come in. I offer them food and drinks. They are not behaving very well. I try to get them to calm down Then, there is a man whom I seem to know but his face is not one that I can recall (in my real life). We talk and we are going to go see my dad and we go out a door to walk across a courtyard to get to the back room where my dad is. We are walking on grass and then I look around and we are in a normal neighborhood (kinda like the one where I live) and I look back at the house and it is no longer a mansion but just a normal house.  I say to myself that “this is a weird dream: and then I wake up.

 

MW

 

Hello MW

 

This dream is full of good symbols.  Let’s dissect it. 

 

First, the Focus of the dream is YOU.  You are what the dream is about. You are in all the scenes, etc.  Second, the Sub-Focus of the dream is the Mansion.  Just looking at these two, the Focus and the Sub-Focus: the mansion is likely symbolic for God’s church.  (Jeremiah 7:1-11, Hebrews 3:6, 1Peter 2:5)

 

Therefore, putting just these together, this says the dream is about you in God’s church. 

 

Okay, let’s look at the rest of the dream and see what the details are.  What are you doing in God’s church?

 

Some of the symbols are:

 

My family = family in Christ (Rom 12:1-2)
My father’s place = God’s church – Father = God

Back rooms = going on behind the scenes
Dad watching TV = God watching what’s being “aired” or things in the spiritual realm
People come in front door = coming into the church
He sends me to take care of it = God sends you to minister or take care of people
Walk through many rooms = many areas of the church
Ornate furniture = beauty/treasures there
Open the front door and there are people who come in = you are opening “doors” for others
Offer them food and drinks = offer them teachings of the Word of God
They are not behaving very well = people you are dealing with are not behaving well in the world
A man I seem to know…we talk…we are going to see my dad =  you are trying to bring one man in particular to the Father God.
In a normal neighborhood = you are working in “normal-neighborhood” type of environments.

Putting this all together- I would say your dream is saying:

 

You are an active participant of the family of God and a worker in His church. Your work is a service and obeying God in ministering to normal-everyday people in areas where they live. A lot of the people you will be working with have been behaving in ways that are not good.

 

 

 

Marsha

 

 

 

Follow-up:   The dreamer has told me he is involved in a ministry within his church that ministers to recovering alcoholics, drug users, and other addictive issues.  He said the interpretation is right on.

 

 

Soaring across Countries

Hello Readers,
I need to apologize for being off-line for the past two months. I’ve dealt with a death in the family and personal illness, and illness of my spouse.  Tough season! But my prayer warriors got me through it.
God Bless you all,
Marsha

Dated: March 11, 2016

Dear Marsha,

 

Hello. I recently asked the Holy Spirit to lead me to the prophet who had understanding as to where the Lord was taking me and explanation of what’s been happening in my life. I then found You. And all that I have been experiencing now makes sense and has been explained well. I see clearer in the spirit, but with the last few dreams, I’ve been a bit perplexed.

 

 Dream:

 

I began to soar through the sky, traveling from one country through another. I remember going through Asia and India, but can’t fully remember the other 3, but I knew I had traveled through 5. I soared through mountains covered with snow; through wilderness; over great waters; and over cities, before touching down in the US. Once my feet touched land, I ask persons I saw below, where was I? Because I had traveled so far, I didn’t know what country I was in. In this particular place, was a rental complex, which I ask what was it name and was told. I saw a staff member coming down stairs, and a young man then exit out the front door where then I was told the name of the resident.

 

(This was confirmation I didn’t know at the time I awoke, was the very place my younger brother stated, he would be residing at, after searching for an apartment…confirmation).

 

I then saw myself in a room. When I first entered the room, it looked as if I hadn’t been there in a while. Things seemed old and dusty and some things in plastic bags. I then began to go through things as if I wouldn’t be there.

 

 Can you give me understanding as to what the first and later part of the dream depicts for me?

 

Signed, DTG

 

 

 

Dear DTG,

Since the Focus of a dream and the Sub Focus of a dream gives a quick summary of the dream, I’d like to start this interpretation by looking at the Focus and the Sub Focus first. 

Remember, the Focus is “’Who’ or ‘What’ is the dream about?”…in other words, who or what is the star of the dream?  In this case, it is about YOU, the dreamer. 

 

The Sub Focus is supposed to answer this question, “If this Sub Focus wasn’t there, would the dream exist?”  There may be more than one Sub Focus.   In this case I believe the Sub Focuses are: Soar, Traveling and also Rental Complex.

 

So, let’s look at the symbols for just the Focus and Sub Focus right now. 

 

You are of course not symbolic and actually represent you. 

Soar = symbolic for high spiritual activity. (Air is often things that are spiritual – going through the air might indicate spiritual activity)
Traveling = symbolic for taking this to new places.  
Rental = temporary place you are “working/way of living/ministry” – a place you are temporarily
Complex = a complicated and convoluted area / a lot of things going on.

 Now, to put this together, this says: you will be experiencing high spiritual activity and it will be taking you to new places. One of these places is a temporary situation where a lot of things are going on and is a little convoluted.

 

Okay. Let’s look at the rest of the symbols in the dream.  They are details explain and describing. 

 

5 countries = I believe in this case it literally means five different countries.

Across mountains with snow, wilderness, over great waters, cities = indicates the vast travel between these countries
USA = believe this literally means the USA
Ask persons “Where was I?” = Seeking answers of where you are in your life
Staff = others working in the same area you are working/in ministry/way of living
Downstairs = downward transition
Young man going through exit = leaving that area of work/ministry/way of living
Me in room = your particular place in this work/ministry/way of living
Seemed old = seems to be old ways – (not good in this case)
Dusty = covered in things of the earth and needs cleansing
Plastic bags = packaged up in man-made ways
Go through things = inspecting and looking at things

Putting these details into the interpretation, I would say this is a Calling Dream telling you what you are called to do and also a Self-Condition Dream telling you some of the things you are / or will be facing.  The dream means:

 

You are called to high spiritual activity. This will take you to five countries from mountainous regions to wilderness, to cities and subsequently over the oceans to the USA.  In the USA you will for a temporary time be in a situation where you will be either “working/a way of living/ or a ministry” where a lot of things are going on. It is convoluted. While there, you witness other(s) that work there in a downward transition.  You also witness other(s) leave.  You, personally are in a situation where you are dealing with old ways (that are not especially good) and things that are covered in man-made and earthly issues.   You are trying to sort this out.

 

Whew!   Good dream.  The Lord is obviously with you.  He is taking you many places.  Awesome.  Don’t be discouraged by the experience you have. This dream is telling you what that’s about.  It’s not YOU. It’s the situation you are in and the dream says it is affecting others also.  I believe that part of the dream is given to you to center you during a difficult time here in the USA. Help you understand.  I believe the confirmation of the name in the dream is to confirm to you a “truth” of this dream.  It is not really a part of the dream…but is saying to you – this is real.  Pay Attention.  I wouldn’t give it more credence than that. However, it’s always a possibility the Lord is giving you a specific address for this to happen.  But, often these things are symbolic rather than specific.

A personal note to you about some other comments in your email.
I am glad to see how the Lord is using you.  He is so much fun to follow.  And it’s difficult also.  It’s good to read you’ve been given some answers lately and are seeing more clearly. 

I want to encourage you my brother to never give up on what the Lord is doing.  He takes us through controversy to help us with our faith, to teach us, and for many more reasons.  Claim all rewards by asking him for them.  Asking comes before receiving in God’s world. 

 

We all have questions on how to get the unseen to the seen.  The answer really is that it is HIS responsibility to do that. We know in part, and we see in part. Until He reveals to us what He wants us to see.  That makes our walk a “Faith Walk”.  Keep praying about the promises he’s made to you.  Speak the promises back to Him, saying: “Father, You said….”  Ask and it shall be given.  We are all locked arm-in-arm in the Army of God. I have prayed for truth, discernment, and protection on you.
God’s blessings and protection on you as you go forth in His work.

Kitten on Her Lap

 

Dear Marsha,

 

This dream was by Tia.  Tia, Karin, and Dawna are three preteen and early teen girls who run around together.  Tia had this dream.
I have some thoughts on it, but what are your thoughts?
Mom of one of the girls
Dream:
Tia, Karin, and Dawna, were getting ready to go swimming – putting on sunscreen.  They were going “night swimming”. It was dark outside. Karin started driving the truck.  She had a kitten on her lap that she was holding. Karin let go of the wheel and the kitten jumped down and pushed the pedal and made the truck go out of control.  And Karin couldn’t get control of the truck and it went off the road.  They went over a very rocky cliff. Tia told everyone to start praying. God’s angels came down from above and saved them one by one. Had wings and white dresses and golden beautiful halos. God spoke the word bravery to Tia in the dream. Then God carried them back to safety and “made me feel loved more than I could imagine”.

Dear Mom,

Let’s look at the symbols:

·         Go swimming – immerse themselves in deep things of the spirit (good or bad spirit – depending on night swimming or day clear swimming).

 

·         Sunscreen – filtering out the ‘Son’, ignoring God

 

·         Driving the truck – calling the shots or the leader, in control of the situation

 

·         Kitten = willfulness but on a small scale

 

·         Went off the road = off the pathway or getting into trouble

 

·         Very rocky cliff = trials and hard times

 

Now, to put this together, I would say this dream might mean:

 

Karin is leading the other two girls to explore some dark things.  She thinks she can keep a handle on it, but it starts to control their experiences, and Karin can’t stop it.  Tia reacts by praying and turning toward God.  God honors her request and helps them.  The experience brings Tia closer to God, allowing her to feel His immense love.

 

Now, as a mom I know you are concerned but please note that the willfulness was displayed as a kitten, not a full grown cat.  This indicates willfulness on a small scale.  So I would suggest you not be over concerned about this.  Considering their age (preteen and early teens) this is a time when all ealthy children start to exert their personality and “try” things.  As parents, we need to be diligent about loving them, and guiding them in a healthy way through their wrong choices.  This dream may be speaking of something the girls have already done, or something they are currently involved in, or will be doing.  Either way, I believe this is a call to pray for discernment and direction for the girls.  The dream already shows God will be there to bail them out.  Yay God!  Thank you God!

Fear Dream Strangling

Hey Marsha, It’s Saraj. 
(Readers, Saraj (not her real name) is a high school age girl who sends me dreams on occasion.)

Sorry for messaging you so late, but this dream is really eating at me lately.
It started off with me at work, and someone said there was an accident… and for whatever reason, I was freaking out trying to get ahold of my parents to make sure they were fine.  The weather was getting bad out and I was ready to leave.  I got ahold of my mom and she was going to get me, but I ended up on a school bus and basically felt like we were going in circles. Then we passed a bridge with only people on it.  The people were rocking the bridge, back and forth, and laughing and smiling. They were soon told to stop because it could collapse and it did. I only saw the girl on the end as she fell to her death.
Scene 2:  I then appeared at someone’s house and these people were trying to kill me and my family.  I stabbed one of the guys in the back of the neck and locked me and mom into a room and busted the window screaming for help. This little girl came with her mom, but her mom was saying “Stay Back”, so then I had to climb out of the window and tried to escape leaving mom behind, thinking she’d be okay.  Once I was out and about to run, I saw the same guy I had stabbed come around the corner and chase after me. I, then, found myself hiding in a camper and he had found me and got on top of me and started to strangle me.  Then I died.
Saraj
Hi Saraj,
I wanted to post this dream because it is a good teaching dream. A rule of thumb for dreams is to ask “Who is giving you this dream?”
·         Is it from your own mind, your desires, or your own fears? 
·         Is it a dream brought on by drugs or something else your body has ingested?
·         Is it from God, telling you about yourself so that you may “understand the thoughts of your heart?” A dream about what you are doing, or going through. (Remember 90-98% of our dreams are about what we are dealing with and going through.) 
·         Or is the dream another Word from God?  A calling dream? Or a healing dream? Etc.
·         Perhaps it’s a dream from God exposing a plan of the enemy?  A plan the enemy has to tear you down.  (Remember, plans of the enemy may be declared null and void if we pray against them, asking for God’s intervention. This is why the Lord reveals plans of the enemy. So it is no longer covert and can be dealt with successfully. Think military. If you know the enemy’s plans, a counter-defense can be set in motion. )
·         Or a prophetic word? A word about the future?
·         Or is the dream from the ENEMY, himself, to freeze you…to scare you. To get you to discount looking at your dreams?
A way to tell if a dream is from God is to look at the character and nature of God and compare it to the character and nature that the dream offers to you.  In this case, this dream is full of fear.
1.       Fear of accident.
2.       Fear of family being hurt.
3.       Fear of weather or outside, uncontrollable forces of nature.
4.       Fear of “going in circles” or not accomplishing anything.
5.       Fear of people being hurt through their ignorance, and through “rocking the bridge”.
6.       Fear of personal attack on the dreamer.
7.       Fear of personal attack on the dreamer’s family.
8.       Fear of one-on-one warfare against a willful hurtful person.
9.       Fear of not getting help.
10.   Fear of escape not happening.
11.    Fear of being found.
12.   Fear of death.
Wow!  I’m exhausted from all this.  Big time fear.
Now, what is the character and nature of our God?  The Bible says God does not wish to instill fear in His followers. 
                “Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, Yes, I will              help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand. – Isaiah 41, verse 10. NKJV”
The enemy will give a dreamer a fear dream to get the dreamer off balance. To instill fear in hopes it will affect the dreamer’s decisions, or actions in an ungodly way.  This might be the enemy wanting to “kill you in a spiritual way” or to separate you from God!
Sometimes fear dreams are brought on by our own fears, by our own soul.
But either way, whether it came from the enemy or from the dreamer’s soul, this dream is not of God, therefore is FALSE.  Fear dreams should never be taken to heart.  Test the dream against the Word of God and against the character and nature of God.
Saraj, this dream is a Fear Dream.  So be proactive in ending reaction to this particular Fear Dream and others, by recognizing them, and renouncing them.  Fear not. The only one trying to kill you and your family is the same one who gave you this dream. The enemy may be trying to kill you spiritually.  But, the Lord is with you. 
We all get fear dreams on occasion. The enemy loves to attack us this way.  But, if you keep getting them, I would suggest you get one-on-one Godly counsel with one who understands biblical dream interpretation, to help you deal with it.  Look at ways to combat this attack of the enemy.  Or look at why these fears are so prevalent in your life, thus might be brought on by your own soul.
God Bless You.  I (and your readers out there) will be praying for you Saraj. Contact me if you want some one-on-one talk.
Lord, I Pray that anything the enemy has planned against this dreamer be deemed Null and Void, in the name of Jesus.   I pray joy and a renewal of her personal relationship with you be intense and overflowing. I pray for your peace upon her, and sweet God dreams.

Snake Dream

 

Marsha
A friend of mine had this dream. Can you tell me what you think?
C.K.

 

Snake Dream:
I remember being in a kitchen at someone’s house.  There were several other people there – maybe 5 or 6 people in total.  I don’t remember knowing these people. I began to walk from the kitchen toward the back of the house. I don’t know where I was going or why. I walked through a short corridor and was passing through a bedroom (I think) when I saw a snake on the floor.  It appeared to be thick and brown-ish. I don’t remember any other details about the snake. I stopped short and turned back to the kitchen. I found my mom and told her about the snake. (In real life, my mom is always the person we would go to, to kill spiders, etc. because she isn’t bothered by doing so.) Previously, I didn’t know my mom was one of the people at this house. She, willingly, agreed to get rid of the snake. She walked back to the bedroom area where I had seen the snake and grabbed it by the tail. When she did so, the snake became elongated and began to lunge as she held the tail. Again, I retreated to the kitchen and sat on the kitchen counter with my legs hanging down. I was wearing a pair of men’s basketball shorts. My mom came into the kitchen, still wielding the snake, and it was still thrashing about and lunging aimlessly. However, the snake did make contact with my left leg, and bit my outer thigh through my basketball shorts. I don’t remember the bite hurting. I remember feeling startled and scare, but the snake let go of my leg and my mom was able to get rid of it somehow. Afterward, there was a pink mark on my leg where the snake had bit through my shorts. I remember asking my mom if she thought I needed medical treatment, but she wasn’t sure. I remember she was trying to look up online what kind of snake it may have been to determine if the bite was dangerous, or not. I don’t remember feeling pain in my leg or feeling worried about the bite. I didn’t end up seeking out medical treatment, but remember sitting in a large hot tub outside alone that had a red and white canopy over it. I remember thinking that maybe I was at a Kentucky Fried Chicken because of the red and white striped canopy over me while I was in the hot tub!

 

Hello C.K.., Marsha here.

 

                Thanks for sending in the dream.  This is full of good learning symbols. Let’s look at them.

 

Kitchen = place of preparing teachings (Neh 9:15, Prov 18:20)
Someone’s house = area of life for someone else (Prov 15:25)

 

Several other people there = others involved too, or at least around while this is happening

 

Walk toward the back of the house – seeking out what’s in the background

 

Short corridor = short period of transition

 

Snake – lies, a “long tale” (Rev 9:19, 12:9)

 

Floor – foundational issue

 

Thick – one upon another

 

Brownish – humanity in nature (not saying evil…just human) (Ezk 47:12)

 

My mom (who in real life is always the person we would go to – to kill spiders, etc. because she isn’t bothered by doing so) = other(s) who are helpful in dealing with issues

 

She willingly agreed to get rid of the snake – another person willingly trying to fight the lies (snake)

 

When she did so, the snake became elongated and began to lunge – when another person tried to help fight the lies (snake), the lies became longer and an attack on the dreamer.

 

I retreated to the kitchen – the dreamer retreats to a place of receiving teachings

 

Legs = ability to go forward (Ps 147:10, Prov 26:7, Hab 3:16)

 

Left = dreamer’s spiritual identity (Mt 24:40-41, 25:33, 25:41)

 

Pink mark = mark of faith (pink = faith)

 

Didn’t end up seeking out medical treatment = it became ok and didn’t need help dealing with it.

 

Hot tub = in “hot water” – in pressure and trials

 

Outside = feeling “outside” of things

 

Alone = feeling “alone”

 

Red = wisdom, power, anointing

 

White = purity, Holy

 

Kentucky Fried Chicken – Fast Food = place where being “fed” or taught things very fast; what you have learned (feeding on) is not especially healthy/good for you (fast food) – (food – teachings Neh 9:15, Prov 18:20)
Substituting these symbolic meanings into the dream, the dream interpretation might be as follows:

 

To the dreamer:
                While you (amidst others) are trying to minister to someone (in someone else’s area of life), you are able to see that person’s humanity issues (brown) and background lies (snake) they believe in.  These lies are compounded one upon another (thick). You seek help from others to try to deal with these lies and issues, but in the process you are attacked. This attack has affected your ability to go forward (leg) in your spiritual identity (left). You are able to get through it on your own (not receive medical attention) and come out of it with visibly more faith (pink mark). But you have found yourself in some pressure/trials (sitting in “hot water” hot tub) and have learned very quickly some things that aren’t particularly healthy for you (fast food). Still, you have a covering (canopy) of wisdom, power, and anointing (red) along with Holy and purity (white).

 

 Wow!  This dream means the dreamer has been going through some hard times, but has come out of it with more faith, and a little learning.  The dreamer is wise, powerful and anointed in purity and God’s holiness.
Please let me hear back from you.  I would be very interested to know what the dreamer thinks of this.

To the readers: I also want to point out a couple of other teaching hints that are good in this dream.

 

1.       When you are interpreting a dream and the dreamer is given ambiguous numbers like: “maybe 5 or 6” — then that is a clue that the actual number is not important in the dream.  Don’t confuse the interpretation by trying to decipher what 5 means and 6 means and trying to put it together.

 

2.       When the dreamer attaches a statement to a person as she did in describing her mom, then often that statement is important in the interpretation process.  Not always…sometimes the dreamer is trying to justify why someone may show up in her dream.  But often.  In this case, the dreamer said, “I found my mom and told her about the snake. (In real life, my mom is always the person we would go to, to kill spiders, etc. because she isn’t bothered by doing so.)”  This statement is a good hint that “mom” in the dream may be about her ability to deal with nasty things…

 

FOLLOW – UP:   After the dreamer received the dream interpretation, I heard back from the dreamer and she stated that this dream was “right on.”  It explained some issues she’d been dealing with.  It greatly lifted her spirits and encouraged her.
YAY GOD!

Grace Adventure forgot shoes

 

Marsha,

 

In my dream I was going to attend another session of Grace Adventure. (Grace Adventure in real life is a retreat where you can go to do some intense interaction with God and others about issues in your life you are dealing with).  I showed up at the Grace Adventure at the appointed time, but I was not prepared.  I forgot my shoes. In fact I remember saying to someone there, I don’t have any kind of shoes, not even flip-flops.  I forgot my Bible.  I forgot my pajamas and was asking for a shirt from someone that I could wear as pajamas.  Then I woke up.

Hi GA… Marsha here,

 

I love and highly recommend Grace Adventure to anyone who wants to become a stronger person.  I’m glad you went.  Let’s look at the symbols in your dream:

 

Grace Adventure = could be symbolic for a ‘grace’ adventure or a new direction of adventure given to you by God’s grace

 

Shoes = peace “Ephesians 6:15 – put on your shoes of peace”

 

Bible = God’s word “Words given not by mankind but by God Col 2:17, 1Tim 1:7-10, 2Pet 1:20-21”

 

Pajamas = restful covering “sleep =rest Ps 127:2, 132:4” “clothing = covering Job 8:22, 29:14, Mt 22:10-13, 2Cor 5:2, Eph 6:11-17”

 

Inserting these meanings into your dream, I would say this dream says:

 

 You are showing up and going into an adventure the Lord has for you through His grace, but you are not bringing with you the things you really should be bringing.  The things you are not bringing with you are peace (in lots of areas), a restful covering or knowing the Lord is with you and being at rest about that.  You are also not bringing with you words given to you by God… In other words, you are not believing in your heart what the Lord has been telling you.

 

Just a little suggestion to the dreamer…I would try to stop, put your trust in God, and enjoy the adventure you are surely on.  For the Lord is with you.

Angry Young Woman

 

Dear Marsha,

 

I hope I’m not hogging your time…but I’m sending in another dream.  You’re interpretation was right on target last time.  Here’s the dream:

 

I went to visit a young woman in her house.  I knocked and called through the screen door and went on inside.  She was angry that I came on it.  She left the room and went to take a bath.  I went back to my car under the pretense to get something and waited for her to finish her bath.  I saw a lady named Fawn coming with someone else to visit this person.  I was grateful.  I got out of the car and went to meet Fawn.  Fawn was happy and laughing.

 

In real life I barely know this Fawn lady, and I don’t know who this young woman is (an unknown person).  I can’t figure out what’s going on.

Hi Kay, Marsha here!

 

In dreams, often a person is in the dream because their name means something.  It’s not about the person, or your relationship with the person.  So let’s look at this.

 

The symbols might represent:

 

Screen = filtering system
Bath = receive cleansing
Car = work, ministry
Fawn = name means” Young deer …Christian young but sure-footed in her walk with Christ
Deer – sure footed walk

 

So, for fun, let’s substitute the symbols into the dream. 

 

I went to visit a young woman in her house.  I knocked and called through the filtering system and went on inside.  She was angry that I came on it.  She left the room and went to receive cleansing.  I went back to my ministry/work under the pretense to get something and waited for her to finish receiving cleansing.  I saw another Christian, young but sure-footed in her walk coming with someone else to visit this person.  I was grateful.  I got out of my ministry/work and went to meet the young sure-footed Christian.  The young sure-footed Christian was happy and laughing.

 

Okay, to look at just the meaning of the dream- I’d say:

 

You are trying to minister to a young woman but you do not have favor with her.  You have gone through the woman’s filtering system and pushed your way into her personal space.  It has upset her to the point she is feeling a need to cleanse herself.  There is someone else that has favor to speak to the young woman and that person may be young in Christ but is sure footed or has a good walk with the Lord.

 

 

 

Kay, I believe this is saying: sometimes we are not to step forward and try to help/minister to others because we don’t have their favor.  No matter our heart and good intentions, it just won’t work.  I believe you need to step back and pray instead. Maybe pray for some intercessory help sent from the Lord.

 

This is a good word for all of us.  I don’t believe the Lord has us speak into people without favor. Obviously from the dream your heart is right and you are trying to help. But, I believe the Lord is teaching you a different order of helping. By realizing a need, praying about it without trying to fix it.
From one “fixer ” to another….GOD BLESS YOU.
