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.

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.

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.

 

 

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!
