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!
