German shepherd peeing on plant

 

Marsha, I had the following dream:

 

A German shepherd was peeing on a potted plant on my front porch. 

 

 

 

It was definitely my front porch. Direct colors etc. were: daytime, probably afternoon because it was light but no direct sun. Only thing different was the plant he peed on was on the left side of my porch instead of the right where I always keep it. He was actually peeing on the plant itself not just the outside of the planter.  I felt it was a male dog.  I didn’t look to make sure.  He had pretty standard shepherd markings and colors. 

 

 

 

Anyway, in the dream, I opened my front door and he was just standing there tongue hanging out of his mouth with his leg raised over my plant.  He wasn’t malevolent but not afraid of me either when I opened the door.  He just looked up at me with his tongue hanging out of the side of his mouth and kept peeing. 

 

 

 

 Then I woke up before he finished.   Why couldn’t the first dream I remember be of butterflies and rainbows? 

 

Thanks for your help,  R.A.

 

 

Dear R.A.,

 

I guess God gives us the dreams He wants us to have, not the “butterflies” we’d prefer.  Anyway, let’s look at this one. 
A German shepherd was peeing on a potted plant on my front porch. 

 

 

 

The symbols are as follows:

 

 

 

German:  foreign or not of God (Josh 24:23, Zeph 1:8) (note: this does NOT mean that     Germans are not of God.  However, for you…through the information you      provided, you are NOT German, therefore, this is “foreign” to you.  ANY culture      not yours is “foreign” to you.  And the biblical interpretation of “foreign” is “Not of God”.

 

 

Shepherd:

 

  • protector, leader (2Sam 5:2, Is 40:00, Exe 34:1-10, Zec 10:2-3, John 10:12, 1 Kgs 22:17, 1Chro 11:2, Jer 3:14, 6:3, 50:6),
  • priest (Jer 3:15, 23:1-4, Eze 34:1-10);
  • one who takes care of the flock (Eze 34:1-19, John 10:12) 

 

Peeing = is releasing / sending out toxins (Lev 8:16)

 

Pot =

 

 

  • Holy (Zec 1, 14:21);
  • vessel of offering (Jdg 6:19, 1Sam 2:13-14, 2Chron 34:13);
  • man (Jer 22:28);
  • power in simple overlooked weapons (Judg 7:15);
  • used in service (Jer 52:18)

 

Plant =

 

  • growth/ own home (2Sam 7:10);
  • place (Jer 31:27);
  • people’s roots (Ps 44:2, Jer24:6);
  • begin (2Kgs 19:26, Is 40:24);
  • people (2Kgs 19:26)

 

Front porch =  revealed / open for viewing; public viewing

 

 

Substituting the metaphors, it says:

 

 

A (foreign-German) not of God  protector, leader, priest, one who takes care of the flock  (shepherd) is releasing toxins (peeing) onto your holy, vessel of offering, growth (plant) on your revealed, open for viewing, public viewing (porch).

 

 

 

To paraphrase:

 

 

 

A leader/ priest/ protector is infecting your spiritual growth with toxic things that are not of God.  This is being done publicly.

 

 

 

 

Ouch!  So why did the Lord give you this dream?  Possibly it is to show you that a person you are dealing with is not spiritually good for you.  God is looking out for you. He wants you to be aware of what is happening.

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!
