Granddaughter Going to school for Play

 

Marsha,

 

I had the following dream:

 

I was taking my granddaughter to a school for a playtime.  We walked into the building and got her registered.  We were going to the room where we were supposed to go. 

 

She said, “Nana, I need to go to the bathroom.”  Then she went into a door and I realized it was the Men’s room.  I waited for her and asked a man to go in and yell her name and have her come out to me. 

 

The man said, “Why?”  That’s a door to the outside play area. 

 

I went outside and called her to come and she wouldn’t come.

Interpretation:

 

Who is the focus of the dream?  It is your granddaughter.   Without her this dream would not be happening.  So is the granddaughter really herself, or is she symbolic of someone else…like one of your other granddaughters?   Let’s keep this open and decide at the end.

 

There are two Sub-focuses in this dream.  The first is you and the second is the school.

 

Two specific symbols jump out at us.

 

  • School = a place of learning
    • School, class room = area of learning or training (2Tim 2:15, 3:7, Heb 5:12, 6:1).
    • School, elementary = place where learning elementary things (Heb 5:12-6:2).
       
  • Play = life
    • Sports game = actions of life (Gen 39:17, Prov 10:22);
    • competitions / relationships (2Tim 2:5).
  • Bathroom = a place of getting rid of toxins in life

 

    • getting rid of toxic or unclean things (Dt 22:12-14m 2Kgs 18:27);
    • place of cleansing (func, Num 8:7, 19:9, Heb 10:22);
    • place to get rid of wastes [confession and repentence] (2Kgs 10:27);
    • deliverance issues
    • Bathroom, going into the wrong one = submission issue

 

So what’s going on here?

 

I believe the dream says you are trying to educate, or bring your granddaughter to a place where she can live healthily.  In the process what you perceive as a wrong way for her to get rid of toxic things in her life is not that at all. 

 

FOLLOW ON:

 

After Sheila heard this, she said, “This is about my actual granddaughter.  She is 3 years old and she’s been making absolutely horrible faces.  She thinks it’s funny.  She rolls her eyes back until you can only see the whites of her eyes.  It’s so demonic looking I’ve been on her about it and been worried.  This is God telling me it’s okay.

 

I responded to Sheila, “The Lord is speaking into you that your granddaughter is really just playing around.  It’s not a reaction to getting rid of anything that may be bad in her life.  I believe the Lord is saying “don’t worry…it’s okay!”

 

Isn’t GOD Funny!

Bowel Movement on the Bed

 

Marsha,
I had the following dream:
I was having a bowel movement in the bedroom on the bed.  I was next to a window.  While this is happening I see out the window three guys coming.  I know they are thieves or bad guys.  I am trying to hurry up and finish the bowel movement.  I then crouch beside the bed so they don’t see me.  They pass by and don’t see me.
What does this mean?

Hi Cheryl,
I wanted to display this dream because it has some interesting symbols in it.  Who is the focus of the dream?  It is You.   This dream is all about what is happening to you and around you.

The Sub-focuses of the dream are two-fold.  The first is the bowel movement!  Fun stuff.  We’ll look at that in a second under the symbol meanings.  The second Sub-focus is the 3 guys.

Okay, so let’s look at these fun symbols.
  • Bowel movement (or this might be called excrement) =
    • old garbage in life that needs to be disposed of (Gen 2:16-17, Mt 15:17);
    •  or this could mean = getting rid of unclean things (Dt 22:12-14m 2Kgs 18:27).
  • Bedroom =
    • a private place (1Sam 19:13, 2Sam 13:10);
    • a place of rest (Gen 39:7-12, 49:4); or
    • in a place of intimacy (Gen 49:33, Exo 8:3, Dt 22:30). 
  • Window =
    • Revelation / seeing beyond (Gen 7:11, 8:2, 2Kgs 7:2, Prov 7:6-23);

    • Allows entry where something can get in or out the wrong way (Gen 8:6, 2Cor 11:33). 

  • 3 guys that are bad =
    • Could be several things but look at it might represent 3 people or issues not of the Lord Heb 13:2).

So let’s put this together:  This dream might be saying you are in a private place of rest getting rid of wasteful things and old garbage in your life.  While you are at this, through a revelation (gift of understanding and seeing from God) you are made aware of 3 issues or people that you know will be bad for you.  You take steps to avoid these issues/people and do it. 

Cheryl, I would say that this dream is about:  “where you are and what you are doing”.  God is showing you that you are in a good place and getting rid of things you need to.  It is also may be saying you “dodged a bullet”…so to speak.  Though some action of your own in “stepping back and away you have avoided some problems.    

 

God is good!

Sparrows in a Building

Welcome to my blogs.


Here is a dream Mike W. gave me.  In order to help you learn a little about how to interpret a dream, I will post a dream regularly, give you a breakdown of possible symbols and their meanings, and give you an interpretation of the dream.  Only the dreamer knows for sure if the interpretation is right on.

Mike’s dream:  Sparrows in a Building


A few other people and I were trying to help sparrows that were in a building get outside.  We were coordinating opening the doors.  There were two sets of doors, inner and outer.  And we were shooing the sparrows along towards freedom.  Some got out.  Some took more effort to get out.  One was weak and needed water and food before flying away.

Hi, Mike, let’s look at the symbols in the dream:

Sparrow = God’s care and provision to those who feel unworthy (Mt 10:29-31)
Door = choices / opportunities (Gen 4:7, Mt 7:13)
2 = discernment (Exo 2:12-14, Mt 18:19)
2 = division (Gen 1:6-8, Mt 6:26)
inner = internal
outer = external
water = Word of God (Neh 9:15, Ps 73:10, Is 55:1, John 4:10-15)
food = teachings, things learned [being ingested] (Neh 9:15, Prov 18:20)

Now, let’s look at the focus:  Who is the dream about?   It looks like this is about You, and others.
What is the sub-focus, what is happening?  The sparrows!  You and others are trying to help the sparrows.

If a sparrow is a person who is in need of God’s care and provision and who feels unworthy (see our symbol) then this dream is saying you and others are helping people who are in need and are “trapped” in life (in the building).  You are helping them find “freedom” especially as it relates to things needing discernment (2) or which cause division (2) and with their choices or opportunities (doors), both inner choices (inner doors) and external choices (outer doors) that they need to deal with.   Some people are receiving your help easily but others take more effort to receive it.  One person in particular is especially weak and needs extra help.

I would say this dream speaks of a ministry or work you are doing to help others!  So why would God give you this dream, Mike?  Why would he tell you something you already know?
Possibly it is to let you know that HE knows what you are doing and what you are up against.  He may also be letting you know that you will have varied responses from those you are helping, (so don’t feel it’s a reflection on you.  He is all about what you are doing!
