Cruise in a light blue dress

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!

Going up Elevator into the Sky

 

Hi Marsha,

 

Can you help me with the following dream? 

 

I dreamed I was in an elevator with a very fat man.  I was a bit afraid because the elevator shot up far into the skies.  Finally, we landed like a helicopter on the roof of a hospital.  As we got out, we saw a group of medical personnel sitting around a table on the roof of the hospital, either meeting and having lunch or something like that.  They didn’t seem too excited at our arrival.  We got off and entered the hospital.

 

Genevieve

 

 

 

Interesting that we have another elevator dream to look at.  Let’s ask ourselves who is this dream about? 

 

The answer is Genevieve, or the dreamer.

 

 

 

Let’s look at the symbols:

 

Elevator: rising quickly (characteristic of elevator)

 

Very fat man: something “heavy in the flesh” (Lev 8:16, Jdg 3:17, 1Sam 2:5, Job 15;22-27, Ps 74:3-4)

 

Skies: high spiritual things (Mt 11:23, Lk 10:15)

 

Helicopter: versatile, able to move different directions quickly (characteristic of helicopters)

 

Top of roof: revealed  (Mt 10:27)

 

Hospital: place of healing; possibly church (Ezk 34)

 

Group of medical personnel:  healing leaders; possibly church leaders and authority (Is 61:1, Jer 82)

 

Sitting around a table: in agreement with each other (Mt 8:11, 9:11)

 

 

 

Substituting the symbolism into the dream the interpretation might be:

 

Genevieve is rising quickly in things of the spirit, but she has something heavy in the flesh with her.  Her ministry is high in the spirit and versatile and able to move different directions quickly.  It is being revealed.  She is in a position to have revealed to her things that church leaders are in agreement about.  These same church leaders may not be too excited about Genevieve’s ministry.  She enters into a place of healing.

 

 

 

 

Someone Pushing Elevator Buttons

 

I have read your book.  I like it very much.  Can you interpret this dream that I had last night?  F.E.

 

 

 

The elevator door opens at the sixth floor.  A person pushes a button and says, “Down we go!”  Everyone on the elevator yells, “No! No!  We are going to the eighth floor!”  The person pushes a button again and the elevator jerks.  I sit down on the floor because I have lost my balance.  A lady near me does the same thing.  The person pushes the number eight button and we go to the eighth floor.  Everyone leaves the elevator and I am the last to go through the elevator door.  I am not sure which way to go.

 

 

Hi!  Let’s look at your dream. 

Who is the Focus?   In other words, who or what is the main thing or purpose the dream is centered around?

 

  • I believe the Focus is the elevator and its buttons.  And what can the elevator and its buttons be symbolic of? 
    • An elevator is often symbolic for 1) way of lifting up out of a situation or going down into a situation; or 2) choices made.
    • Pushing the buttons may be a “play-on-words:”  someone is “pushing your buttons” or causing you to react

 

Okay, what’s the Sub-focus?  

 

  • I believe the Sub-focus is the person who is “pushing the buttons.”  This may be symbolic for someone who is doing things to cause you, and others in the same situation you are in, to react.
  • Another Sub-focus is you and others who are reacting and upset.

 

So putting just the Focus and Sub-focus together, this dream may be saying that you are in a place (along with others) where someone is “pushing your buttons” or causing you grief or stress. 

 


Now, let’s look at the details of the dream:

 

  • 6th floor – place of man: weakness of man (Gen 2:2-3, 2:7, Rev 13:18, Lev 25:3)
  • 8th floor – place of new beginnings and saved (Gen 17:12, 1Pet 3:20);
  • Lost my balance – ability to keep life “balanced” is gone
  • Door – choice (Gen 4:7, Mt 7:13, Rev 3:8, 3:20, 4:1).
  • Everyone leaves –  others choose to get out from under the control of the one who is causing the stress
  • You are last to leave – You seem to be under the stress longer than others around you.
  • Not sure which way to go – undergo a time of confusion about what your next action should be.

 

 Okay, now let’s put the details into the dream and see what we get:

 

This dream may be saying that you are in a place (along with others) where someone is causing you grief and stress.  This results in human weakness issues.  This particularly causes you to lose your ability to keep your life “balanced’.  You, and others affected are seeking salvation from this and a new beginning. You see others get out from the situation before you are able to do it.  Even when you finally get out of the situation, you will have a period of time where you will be confused about what your next action should be.

 

Interpretation is done. Now, just Marsha talking: 

 

Why did God give you this dream?  I believe He gave you this dream to let you know HE knows what you are dealing with or have dealt with.  I also believe it is a word of encouragement that you will eventually get out of whatever the situation is.  OR, if this is a dream about something you’ve already gone through, then it is a word of encouragement that you  may be in a place of confusion, but it’s okay.   The Lord is with you!
