Boss said Too Cold

Hi Marsha,

Here’s another dream, Marsha.  What do you think?

 

Last night I dreamed:

I was in a house that was also my school.  It was cold. My boss was in her office and she was walking out saying it was cold and she was going to leave.

Signed,

T.O.F.

 

Dear T.O.F.

The symbols may help us.

House = You, your personal life and relationships (Mt 7:24-27, Heb 3:6, 2 Timothy 2:20-21)

School = Place of spiritual learning ( Mt 9:13, Heb 5:12, 6:1)

Cold = without warmth or life (Mt 24:12)

Boss = Authority over you / one in power over you (Lev 25:6, 25:40, Eph 6:5-9)

 

These symbols substituted in the dream says:

I was in my life and relationships that was also my place of spiritual learning.  It was without warmth or life.  My authority over me / the one in power over me walked out saying it was without warmth or life and was going to leave.

To paraphrase this:

My life and relationships (which included my spiritual learning) was without real life and warmth. Even those I looked to for support/guidance/mentorship abandoned me.

 

Side Note:  I find this a sad dream.  It speaks of a past without warmth.  I believe the Lord may have given you this dream to help you identify the past problems you have had to overcome (or are overcoming).  I encourage you to embrace who you are now, look clearly on what you have had to overcome, and try to forgive those who have let you down in the past.

May God’s healing love be poured over you.

Brother before a Judge

Dear Marsha,

About ten years ago I received the following dream and it has stuck out in my mind all this time. Do you know what it is about?

My brother was standing before a judge.  I was in the courtroom sitting where the “mother usually sits” because his mother was not there.

The judge turned towards me and I said, “Sister,” when the judge looked at me.

The judge says: “You must be ashamed of him for carrying a concealed weapon.”

I’m surprised. I didn’t realize my brother had been carrying a gun.

C.S.

 

Dear C.S.

Marsha here.  Analyzing the symbols:

Brother: natural brother, brother-in-Christ (2 Samuel 20:9), or one who is “like a brother” (2 Samuel 1:26)

Judge: God (Genesis 15:14, John 5:27-30)

Sister: natural sister, sister-in-Christ (Matthew 12:50)

Concealed weapon: a tool to hurt or threaten others that is not obvious

Gun: exert power over

 

Interpretation:

Your brother is exerting powerful control (gun) and you are not realizing it.

 

Amplification:

In this dream, I believe the Lord (perfect judge) is saying someone the dreamer (sister) considers a “brother” (either her actual brother or a brother-in-Christ) is controlling the dreamer (sister) in a way the dreamer doesn’t realize. This control is not healthy or good as the Lord (judge) says it is shameful.

 

Side note from Marsha:

Look at men in your life (those in a brotherly role towards you). Are you being influenced in an oppressive or controlling way?  The Lord may be pointing this out to you so you are aware of it (as the dream states you have not been aware of the bad influence).  Possibly the Lord wants you to stop allowing others to influence you improperly.

 

 

Already Sent an Airplane

Marsha,
 
Graham Cooke’s Ministry referred me to you. Here is the second dream of October 22, 2014 that I know means something. 
 
C.S.
 
Dream #2.

 

 I had just woke up from the first dream and then as soon as a laid back down I started dreaming again. This dream was more pleasant than the first dream.

 

In my second dream I was going somewhere driving west on some street and was about to make a left turn. It was a lot of activity. I then saw a black police SUV that was in the middle of the street trying to stop traffic. The SUV was on the divider in the middle of the street.

 

All of a sudden I saw all of these men on bicycles looking like they were in a marathon and everyone just froze. Everything and Everyone froze!! It was minimum activity at this point. Then I saw a guy that was not frozen and asked him what is going on?? He never responded. 

 

All of a sudden I was in a house it looked strange. It wasn’t a nice house it was weird and kind of creepy. I then saw three windows and in each one of the windows I saw the word live, live, live and then when I turned towards the front of the house I saw this big window it almost looked like it was the front door with a big window inside it. In that window it said LIFE.

 

Then all of a sudden I was taken down this very narrow wooden hallway. I was thinking oh wow, I am not going to be able to get through here. I began to fly through this narrow hallway and was thinking oh God I am going to hurt my left arm. Somehow I was able to get my left arm in front of me and continued to fly down the hallway in superman form. There was a wooden door at the end and I flew through it into a room and the room was so beautiful and elegant. Everything in it was a mauve color. All of the furnishing, carpet the curtains etc was mauve... I saw the wind blowing through the soft mauve sheer curtains. I flew towards them and flew through them and before I knew it, I was in another area of the house. I didn’t know where I was in the house but TD JAKES was there. He was talking to me and said that I have been asking God for an Airplane. He had been praying for an Airplane because he needed one to get around to preach. He said to me but God keep telling me to quit asking for the Airplane because He has already provided it for me. I was getting ready to comment and say to him, (that’s our FATHER), but what I said to him was Bishop Jakes you have helped a lot of us. I said to him I use to binge watch some of your videos. I had not at that point watched his videos in a while, but I wanted to encourage him and let him know that he has helped a lot of people.

 

I ended up in another room and he came out with 12 small mauve roses. It was not the whole rose stem, it was just the head of the roses. It was 12 of them and he gave them to me. I didn’t know or understand why he was giving them to me but he handed them to me.

 

I then laid the 12 roses on the table and walked into another room in the house. This house was sooooo pretty. The room that I walked into was very beautiful. It almost looked like the same creepy house that I was in at the beginning of the dream but this time it was absolutely gorgeous.  As I looked at the wall that was before me, I looked at the right end of the wall and noticed some vertical cracks in the wall. I kept looking at the cracks in the wall. It looked like it spelled a word. If you were just looking at the wall, you would only think it was just some cracks in the walk but as I looked very closely I saw JESUS name carved into the wall. I remembered smiling and feeling peaceful when I was able to see JESUS name carved into the wall of this house..

 

That is the end of my second dream!!

 

Dear C.S. Marsha here!
We interpreted your first dream about God reminding you to fly….so now let’s do this one.  To interpret the second dream, I am just going to use just one method, however you can play around with all 3 methods of interpretation:  

 

Method 1. Look at “First Couple of Sentences” and look at “Last Couple of Sentences.”  This will often tell the essence of the dream.
Method 2. Find the Focus, Sub Focus, and Details.  Remember the Focus and Sub-focus tells the essence of the dream and the details give clarity.
Method 3. Substitute the symbolic meanings in the dream and put it together.

 

I will use Method 3, and substitute some symbolic meanings into the dream.  I’ve prayed that the Lord reveal the proper meanings and interpretation to us.  So first, let’s look at the symbol meanings.

 

Symbols:

Left turn = turn toward things born to do and spiritual change
Black = not of God
Police SUV = authority off the “road” or off the main path of life
Trying to stop traffic = trying to stop forward flow
Divider = causes division
Men on bicycles = individual ministries powered by own self
Marathon = competition between people
Froze = unable to go forward and without warmth
Asked him what is going on = trying to get answers
In a house looked strange = area of living not of God
Windows = revelation
Door = choice
Wooden = things of the world/earthly things
Hallway = period or area of transition
Not able to get through = difficult
Left = things born to do
Arm = power
Fly = high spiritual activity of God
Wind = Holy Spirit
TD Jakes = non-denominational mega church of God
Airplane = large ministry active in high spiritual activity
12 = apostolic
Roses = Christ (rose of Sharon –Song Solomon 2:1)
Head = leader
Vertical cracks = openings upward

Now, let’s substitute the meanings into the dream and see what happens.

 

In my second dream I was going somewhere driving west on some street and was about to make a turn toward things born to do and spiritual change (left turn). It was a lot of activity. I then saw a not of God (black) off the “road” or off the main path of life (SUV) authority (police) that was in the middle of the road of life (street) trying to stop forward flow (traffic). The vehicle off the road of life causes division (was on the divider) in the middle of the road of life (street).

 

All of a sudden I saw all of these individual ministries powered by own self (men on bicycles) looking like they were in competition between people (a marathon) and everyone unable to go forward and without warmth (just froze). Everything and everyone unable to go forward and without warmth  (froze)!! It was minimum activity at this point. Then I saw a guy that was not frozen and tried to get answers (asked him what is going on)? He never responded. 

 

All of a sudden I was in a  area of living not of God (house looked strange). It wasn’t a nice area of living not of God it was weird and kind of creepy. I then saw (God-Trinity) three revelation (windows) and in each one of the revelation (windows) I saw the word live, live, live and then when I turned towards the front of the house I saw this big revelation (windows) it almost looked like it was the front choice (Door) with a big revelation (windows) inside it. In that revelation (windows) it said LIFE.

 

Then all of a sudden I was taken down this very narrow things of the world/earthly things (wooden) period or area of transition (hallway). I was thinking oh wow,  difficult (I am not able to get through). I began to move in high spiritual activity of God through this narrow period or area of transition (hallway) and was thinking oh God I am going to hurt my things born to do (left) power (arm). Somehow I was able to get my things born to do (left) power (arm) in front of me and continued to move in high spiritual activity of God down the period or area of transition in supernatural (superman) form. There was a things of the world/earthly things (wooden) choice (door) at the end and I moved in high spiritual activity of God through it into a room and the room was so beautiful and elegant. Everything in it was a mauve color. All of the furnishing, carpet the curtains etc was mauve.. I saw the Holy Spirit (wind) blowing through the soft mauve sheer curtains. I moved in high spiritual activity of God towards them and moved in high spiritual activity of God through them and before I knew it, I was in another area of the area of living/church. I didn’t know where I was in the area of living/church but leader(s) of non-denominational mega church of God (TD Jakes) was there. Leader(s) of non-denominational mega church of God was talking to me and said that I have been asking God for an large ministry active in high spiritual activity (airplane).  Leader(s) of non-denominational mega church of God had been praying for an large ministry active in high spiritual activity because leader(s) of non-denominational mega church of God needs to get around to preach. Leader(s) of non-denominational mega church of God said God keeps telling me to quit asking for the large ministry active in high spiritual activity (airplane) because He has already provided it for me. I was getting ready to comment and say to him, (that’s our FATHER), but what I said to him was leader(s) of non-denominational mega church of God you have helped a lot of us. I said to leader(s) of non-denominational mega church of God that I used to binge watch some of your videos. I had not at that point watched leader(s) of non-denominational mega church of God videos in a while, but I wanted to encourage leader(s) of non-denominational mega church of God and let leader(s) of non-denominational mega church of God know that leader(s) of non-denominational mega church of God has helped a lot of people.

 

 I ended up in another room and leader(s) of non-denominational mega church of God came out with a gift of apostolic Christ. It was not the whole Christ stem, it was just the leadership (head) of apostles for Christ. It was apostolic and he gave it to me. I didn’t know or understand why he was giving it to me but he handed it to me.

 

I then laid the apostolic Christ  gift tabled it (on the table) and walked into another room in the house. This house was sooooo pretty. The room that I walked into was very beautiful. It almost looked like the same creepy house that I was in at the beginning of the dream but this time it was absolutely gorgeous.  As I looked at the wall that was before me, I looked at the right end of the wall and noticed some vertical cracks in the wall. I kept looking at the cracks in the wall. It looked like it spelled a word. If you were just looking at the wall, you would only think it was just some cracks in the walk but as I looked very closely I saw JESUS name carved into the wall. I remembered smiling and feeling peaceful when I was able to see JESUS name carved into the wall of this house.

 

Interpretation:
You are attempting to move into things of the Lord you were born to do.  At this same time you see authority from the world/or the enemy that is stopping this forward direction for you and for others. You are given revelation to see the Lord wants us to “LIVE.”  You also see through revelation that many individuals try to minister or work under their own power, but they are really frozen from going forward. You seek counsel/answers but get none.

 

 During a time of life transition (possibly in areas of job/health/etc. – worldly issues) you are having a difficult time.  During this time, you fear the power to move in things you are born to do (left arm), will not be in front of you.  During this time you move to higher spiritual levels (fly) and get through the difficult time, finding the Holy Spirit (wind) there.  You are a little confused about what area of the church / life to find a ministry that is actively moving high in the spirit (airplane), but in relation to the non-denominational church of the one and only God, you find you are already there.  You are given an apostolic-type gift (12 roses) which you “table” or lay down for a time.  You view walls or barriers surrounding the church and find it has some appearances of worldly issues, but  in spite of that, there are upward (God) openings (cracks) and Jesus is carved on it. 
 
God bless you C.S. 
You are on the right Track!

God Reminding Me I can Fly

 

July 25, 2016:  Here are my old dreams of October 22, 2014 (please help I know these two dreams mean something for my life)

 

Good morning Marsha,

I trust that your day is going well!!

I was referred to you by Graham Cooke’s Ministry!

I dream a lot and I have been asking Holy Spirit what do my dreams mean? I also told him that I was open to Him sending someone into my life who can help me.. This particular dream won’t leave me I have been constantly asking God for the interpretation. I am trusting that He has finally led me to you to give me the interpretation. Help please… 
C.S.

On October 22, 2014,

I had Two dreams back to back.. They were very vivid… Here is the first one:

1st Dream

The first dream was extremely demonic. Everything in the dream was demonic. I was running into so much demonic activity on ever hand..

In the whole dream I had soooo many demons coming after me, but each time in the dream God kept reminding me that I could fly. Every time that thought came to my mind I just started to fly. In the dream God kept constantly reminding me that I could fly. Every time that I was reminded of that, I flew and soar so high above the demons.. It was like I was so high above them that at one point getting close to the end of the dream I remembered  turning a corner and I saw all of this beautiful water, trees  and sand.

 

I was thinking finally something beautiful but when I got to that part, I remembered seeing all of these people. It was not a lot of people but it was a fairly good amount of people. Then I realized that all of them were demons too. They all start turning into demons and coming after me.

 

God once more reminded me that I could fly.  I began to fly far above them but then it looked like a close friend of mine name JOSIE was with me but she was still on the ground. I was thinking to myself she needs to fly, she needs to fly!! I wasn’t sure if she could fly but I heard a voice say help her!! So I reached down and grabbed her. I wasn’t sure that if I reached down and grabbed her, if I would fall down from the sky. But when I reached down and grabbed her I pulled her up to where I was. The demons could not get to her.  Initially they were so close to getting her but I was able to pull her up in time with me. I was soooo high up in the air. So at this point we were flying above and it was so peaceful in the sky where we were.

 

All of a sudden we saw a house and ran into a man. He looked like some famous actor.  Once we arrived in His house everything seem to be normal. We thought this was a house of safety. Everything really really seemed to be normal. We then got into his car and he took us somewhere. It almost seemed like it was the grand finale. When I arrived at this new place again everyone seemed normal and then I saw this little baby. It looked like  this baby was supposed to be me when I was a little girl. I was looking at the baby and thinking to myself, is that supposed to be me when I was a little girl?? When I looked at her closely I said NO that’s not me. She looked like a little chucky doll but in girl form. She had on baby girl clothing but when I kept looking at her she looked more like a chucky doll in a girl form. The baby was being used as a distraction.

 

When I stood up I was standing on the ground and all I could see was that I was surrounded by a whole lot of demons again. I was thinking oh my God this is the grand finale and it was like the demons were saying we got you! All of a sudden I was reminded again that you can fly. I went straight up into the air just like Jesus did when he left the disciples. When I flew straight up in the sky, they were coming after me. I didn’t fly up as high as I did before so they were still on the same level that I was on.
I noticed that the man (the actor) that took me to this place begin to come after me so strong. He was trying to use Jesus Name. He was trying to fool me but I could see all of this demonic activity. He was trying to make me think that he was on my side by saying Jesus Name. On the inside of me I was saying you can’t say Jesus Name!! I then said to him, You can’t say Jesus name and as soon as I said that he turned into a demon. Then I was reminded again FLY. I flew up really high and was able to get away from all of the demons! Throughout the whole dream I was flying getting away from demons.. God just kept reminding me that I could fly. I flew so high and soared way above them and then I woke up!

 

Hi C.S. 

Marsha here.  You sent me two wonderful dreams.  I’m going to break them down separately and respond to both, but only the first one today.  The first dream I will title:  God Reminding Me I can Fly. 

Let’s do this the long way this time to give readers an opportunity to see the different ways to interpret. There are 3 wonderful methods to use to obtain the interpretation. 

 

Method 1.Look at “First Couple of Sentences” and look at “Last Couple of Sentences.”  This will often tell the essence of the dream.

 

Method 2.Find the Focus, Sub Focus, and Details.  Remember the Focus and Sub-focus tells the essence of the dream and the details give clarity.

 

Method 3.Substitute the symbolic meanings in the dream and put it together.

 

But before we go for the actual interpretation, TWO things need to happen.

 

1.       Pray to the Lord for HIS interpretation and to speak to you.

2.       Look at the symbols throughout the dream and see what they might mean.

Okay, I’ve prayed. Have you?  Now, let’s look at what some of the symbols might mean. My book, Dream Symbols and Beyond will help you with this.

 

Symbols:

Fly = high spiritual activity God is calling you to (Is 60:8, 40:31, Zec 5:1-2)
Demons coming after me = feel harassed and/or threatened
Josie = friends in your inner circle
Helping her to “fly” = helping friends in your inner circle come into high spiritual activity of God
Famous = well known to the masses of people
Actor = a “poser,” a false persona, not real
Seems to be normal = appears to be good
Baby = new beginning, new work
Was supposed to be me = trying to be put upon the dreamer
No, not me = this is not who God made you to be
Chucky doll = false and full of evil intent
Distraction = to keep from doing/being who God made you to be
Stood up = able to stand firm

Okay, for learning purposes, let’s start trying out the 3 different methods to interpret.

Method 1. Look at “First Couple of Sentences” and look at “Last Couple of Sentences.”  This will often tell the essence of the dream. 

 

                The first couple of sentences say: I am running into demonic activity. God is reminding me I can fly.

 

The last couple of sentences say: I was flying, getting away from demons. God just kept reminding me that I could fly.

 

The interpretation of these applying symbols:  I am running into demonic activity and God is reminding me that I can deal with it by coming into a high spiritual activity of God.

 

Wow.  This is the essence of the first dream. Let’s see what Method 2. shows us.

 

Method 2. Find the Focus, Sub Focus, and Details.  Remember the Focus and Sub-focus tells the essence of the dream and the details give clarity.

 

The Focus is “who or what” is the “star” of the dream? Who/what does the dream rotate around?”   The Sub-focuses are “primary issues in the dream.” Without these issues the dream would cease to exist.

 

The Details describe, give reasons for actions, define the degree of the problem, etc.

 

Let’s find these and include their symbolic meaning.

 

Focus: The Focus of this dream is the dreamer “You”.


Sub-focus(es): The Sub-focuses of this dream are:
1. God remind me can fly (God reminding me I can go to high spiritual activity)
2. Demonic activity (activity from the enemy)

Interpretation of the Focus and Sub-focuses:  You are being reminded by God that you can go to high spiritual activity when being confronted by the enemy (demonic attack).

 

Let’s look at the details to get a little more clarification:

 

Details: The Details are:

1.       When flying saw beauty (when in high spiritual activity can see above the bad and see beauty)
2.       Famous actor (false action/ persona / idea/ religion/ well known to the mass of people)

a.       Trying to fool me (trying to fool me)
b.       House seems normal (area of life seems to be good)
c.        Trying to use Jesus’ name (trying to claim to be godly)
d.       Turned into demon (realized is really demonic/not of God)

3.      Josie (inner circle of friends)
a.       Needs help (needs help)
b.       Able to help her (am able to help)

4.       Baby (new work, new ministry, new beginning)
a.       Supposed to be me (trying to fool me that is my identity)
b.       Not me (this is not who God made me to be)
c.         Used as a distraction (used to keep from doing/being who God made me to be)

Okay, the interpretation with the details added is:

 

You are being reminded by God that you can go to high spiritual activity when being confronted by the enemy (demonic attack). Some of this attack of the enemy is in the form of trying to convince you things are “good” when they are not. These things include areas of living, how other people are representing themselves, and your own identity in who you are in Christ.   You also have an ability to help others (especially those in your inner circle) to reach a higher level of spiritual activity.

 

Now, let’s try this using Method 3. – inserting the symbolic meanings.

 

Method 3. Substitute the symbolic meanings in the dream and put it together

Dream Including Symbols:

In the whole dream I had soooo many enemy making me feel harassed and/or threatened (demons coming after me), but each time in the dream God kept reminding me that I could seek high spiritual activity God is calling me to (Fly). Every time that thought came to my mind I just started to seek high spiritual activity God is calling me to (fly). In the dream God kept constantly reminding me that I could seek high spiritual activity God is calling me to (fly). Every time that I was reminded of that, I seek high spiritual activity God is calling me to (flew) and soar so high above the demons. It was like I was so high above them that at one point getting close to the end of the dream I remembered turning a corner and I saw all of this beautiful water, trees and sand.

 

I was thinking finally something beautiful but when I got to that part, I remembered seeing all of these people. It was not a lot of people but it was a fairly good amount of people. Then I realized that all of them were demons too. They all start turning into enemy making me feel harassed and/or threatened (demons and coming after me).

 

God once more reminded me that I could seek high spiritual activity God is calling me to (fly).  I began to seek high spiritual activity God is calling me to (fly) far above them but then it looked like friends in my inner circle (a close friend of mine name JOSIE) was with me but friends in my inner circle (she) was still on the ground. I was thinking to myself (friends in my inner circle she) needs to seek high spiritual activity God is calling them to (fly), friends in my inner circle (she) needs to seek high spiritual activity God is calling her to (fly)!! I wasn’t sure if friends in my inner circle (she) could seek high spiritual activity God is calling them to (fly) but I heard a voice say help friends in my inner circle (her)!! So I reached down and grabbed friends in my inner circle (her). I wasn’t sure that if I reached down and grabbed friends in my inner circle (her), if I would fall down from the sky. But when I reached down and grabbed friends in my inner circle (her) I pulled friends in my inner circle (her) up to where I was. The demons could not get to friends in my inner circle(her).  Initially they were so close to getting friends in your inner circle

 

(her) but I was able to pull friends in my inner circle(her) up in time with me. I was soooo high up in the air. So at this point we were seek high spiritual activity God is calling us to (flying) above and it was so peaceful in the sky where we were.

 

All of a sudden we saw a house and ran into a man. He looked like some well known to the masses of people (famous) an act, a “poser,” a false persona, something not real(actor).  Once we arrived in His house everything appears to be good (seem to be normal). We thought this was a house of safety. Everything really really appears to be good (seemed to be normal). We then got into his car and he took us somewhere. It almost seemed like it was the grand finale. When I arrived at this new place again everyone appears to be good (seemed normal) and then I saw this little new beginning, new work(baby). It looked like this new beginning, new work (baby) was trying to be put upon me (supposed to be me) when I was a little girl. I was looking at the new beginning, new work (baby) and thinking to myself, is that trying to be put upon me (supposed to be me when I was immature (little girl)?? When I looked at her closely I said NO that’s this is not who God made me to be (not me). She looked like a little chucky doll but in girl form. She had on new beginning, new work (baby) girl coverings (clothing) but when I kept looking at her she looked more like a false and full of evil intent(chucky doll) in a girl form. The new beginning, new work (baby) was being used to keep from doing/being who God made me to be (as a distraction).

 

When I stood up I was able to stand firm (standing on the ground) and all I could see was that I was surrounded by a whole lot of demons again. I was thinking oh my God this is the grand finale and it was like the enemy making me feel harassed and/or threatened (demons were saying we got you)! All of a sudden I was reminded again that you can seek high spiritual activity God is calling me to (fly). I sought high spiritual activity God is calling me to (flew straight up into the air) just like Jesus did when he left the disciples. When I seek high spiritual activity God is calling me to (flew) straight up in the sky, enemy making me feel harassed and/or threatened (they were coming after me). I didn’t seek high spiritual activity God is calling me to (fly) up as high as I did before so they were still on the same level that I was on.

 

I noticed that an act, a “poser,” a false persona, something not real (the actor) that took me to this place begin to come after me so strong. He was trying to use Jesus Name. He was trying to fool me but I could see all of this demonic activity. He was trying to make me think that he was on my side by saying Jesus Name. On the inside of me I was saying you can’t say Jesus Name!! I then said to him, You can’t say Jesus’ name and as soon as I said that he turned into a demon. Then I was reminded again seek high spiritual activity God is calling me to (fly). I seek high spiritual activity God is calling me to (flew) up really high and was able to get away from all of the demons! Throughout the whole dream I was seek high spiritual activity God is calling me to (flying getting away from demons). God just kept reminding me that I could seek high spiritual activity God is calling me to (fly). I seek high spiritual activity God is calling me to (flew) so high and soared way above them and then I woke up!

 

Interpretation

 

You are being reminded by God that you can seek higher spiritual levels in dealing with the demonic enemy/demonic attack, especially when the enemy is trying to convince you things are “good” and of God, when they are not. These things include areas of living, how other people are representing themselves, and your own self-identity in Christ.  Through high spiritual activity you have an ability to help others (especially those in your inner circle) to reach their own higher level of spiritual activity in God.

 

Notice the dream is VERY repetitious about seeking high spiritual levels that God is calling you to (flying). I think God is REALLY trying to get this point home to you!

 

This dream tells of your struggles against the enemy and how the Lord keeps telling you to deal with it by moving into higher spiritual levels.  

Beautiful dreams. God bless you.

Going Home

Hi Marsha,

I had the following dream. Will you shed some light on it? In real life, I grew up in Kentucky. My aunt and my grandma in my dream were Christian women I loved, but are both now deceased.

 

SW

 

 

I was going home to my old home in Kentucky into a house full of people I didn’t know and my aunt was there, my grandma was there. I began hugging my aunt and told her how much I loved her. I said thank you for being a good cook.

 

 

I have to get ready to leave. At first I couldn’t find the bus station. I knew I had to find the bus stop. Along the way I saw an army convoy. There was also a horse and buggy (Amish style) and there was no one to direct me.  I knew I had to find the bus stop. 

 

 

I went to policemen and asked them where it was, but they ignored me.  Finally, an officer said he would take me there. 

 


Finally I found it. I walk up some stairs. I couldn’t open the door. Someone had to open it for me.

 

After I was on the bus, I knew I left some luggage there. In it was a pair of orthopedic heels.

 

 

Dear SW,

 

Thanks for giving me this dream. It looks like it’s speaking of you dealing with things of your past.  Let’s look at a breakdown.

 

 

Marsha Dunstan

 

 

Symbols: 

 

·         Going to my old home in Kentucky – dealing with issues/teachings from the past

 

·         Aunt- generational issues and/ or things taught from past generations

 

·         Grandma- generational issues and/ or things taught from past generations

 

·         Since both of these women were remembered as being “strong Christian women” this might be speaking of spiritual teachings.

 

·         Good cook- cooking is preparing food (teachings) for others.

 

·         Bus – large Christian movement or ministry

 

·         Bus station – a place where a  large Christian movement or ministry can be found

 

·         Bus stop – place to get on or off

 

·         Army convoy – soldiers or those who fight the good fight

 

·         Old horse and buggy – old ways that are no longer relevant

 

·         Policemen – authority figures whose job is to assist

 

·         One officer – an authority figure who did assist

 

·         Up the stairs – going to a higher level

 

·         Door – opportunity / choice

 

·         Luggage – things of the past that we carry around with us

 

·         Orthopedic – assisted in the development of a stance

 

·         Heels – betrayal

 

 

Now, for learning purposes, let’s interpret this dream using three different methods and see how they compare.

 

1.       The first method is substituting the symbolic meanings into the dream and review the total dream.

 

2.       The second method is to determine the Focus, Subfocus(es), and the Details of the dream.

 

3.       The third method is to look at the first couple of sentences of the dream and the last couple of sentences of the dream.  This should summarize the interpretation.

 

 

First, let’s substitute the symbolic meanings into the dream and review the total dream.

 

I was dealing with issues/teachings from the past into a house full of people I didn’t know.

 

My generational issues and/ or things taught from past generations were there. I began hugging my spiritual teachings and told her how much I loved her. I said thank you for being a good preparer of teachings.

 

 

I have to get ready to leave. At first I couldn’t find a place where the large Christian movement or ministry. I knew I had to find the large Christian movement or ministry place to get on or off.Along the way I saw those who fight the good fight. There was also old ways that are no longer relevant and there was no one to direct me.  I knew I had to find the large Christian movement or ministry place to get on or off. 

 

 

I went to people in authority and asked them where it was, but they ignored me.  Finally, an someone in authority said he would take me there. 

 


Finally I found it. I went to a higher level. I couldn’t open the opportunities on my own. Someone had to help me.

 

 

After I was on the large Christian movement or ministry, I knew I left things of the past that we carry around with us there. In it was a pair of assisted in the development of a stance betrayal.

 

 

Okay….the big picture interpretation of this first method is:

 

You (the dreamer) are looking back at your past spiritual teachings. You embraced these teachings there. But you have left them, and moved into a larger spiritual movement on a higher level.  By doing so, you’ve left behind stances put upon you. You needed and acquired help in finding the larger spiritual movement.

 

 

To paraphrase:  

 

You’ve dropped old spiritual stuff that was put on you in your past and have acquired a higher level of spirituality.

 

 

Second, let’s solve this interpretation by determining the Focus, Subfocus(es), and Details.

 

 

FOCUS

 

The Focus of a dream is the main thing, or person, the plot is centered around. Ask “Who or what is the dream centered around?  In this dream, I believe the Focus is the dreamer, himself.

 

 

SUB-FOCUS

 

The Sub-Focus(es) of the dream are problems or issues that the dream is dealing with.  Ask who or what, if it WASN’T in the dream would cause the dream to cease to exist?  In this case, I believe there are two Sub-Focuses.  1. Going home; 2. Finding the Bus Station.

 

 

So what does the two Sub-Focuses mean?  Going home might mean dealing with issues/teachings from the past.  Finding a bus station might mean finding a place where a large Christian movement or ministry can be gotten on or off.

 

 

Putting just the Focus and Sub-Focuses together, the interpretation might mean:

 

 The dreamer is dealing with teachings from the past and finding another large Christian ministry.

 

 

                DETAILS:

 

All else are details. Describing the embracing of the past teachings, describing that the teachings were given through her family/generationally; describing the difficulty in finding the large Christian ministry; describing the old ways she sees along the way, and the baggage from her past that she’s laid down and left behind her.

 

 

The third method is to look at the first couple of sentences of the dream and the last couple of sentences of the dream.  This should summarize the interpretation.

 

 

The first couple of sentences of the dream are:

 

I was going home to my old home in Kentucky into a house full of people I didn’t know and my aunt was there, my grandma was there. I began hugging my aunt and told her how much I loved her.

 

 

The last few sentences of the dream are:

 

 

Finally I found it. I walk up some stairs. I couldn’t open the door. Someone had to open it for me. After I was on the bus, I knew I left some luggage there. In it was a pair of orthopedic heels.

 

 

Let’s look at the interpretive meanings of these sentences. 

 

 

The dreamer is looking back at past spiritual teachings put upon her by her heritage that has been embraced. But the dreamer has moved to a higher level with the help of others, and has left behind old stuff and baggage from the past.

 

 

 

 

Interesting.  You may notice I use all three of these interpretive steps. They all say essentially the same thing.

 

 

Fun Stuff!

Can’t Buy Window Cleaner

 

Dear Marsha

 

I had this dream about Hal.  Hal is my husband and he is a truck driver. Can you tell me what it might mean?

 

A friend of God.
 

 

Hal was in an auto parts store trying to buy a bottle of window cleaner. He didn’t have any cash. He explained to the clerk that though he had a paycheck for over $600 from a truck driving job, he didn’t have any personal checks with him or have a bank account in town. Since the local bank didn’t know him, they just wanted him to deposit the check and wait till it cleared before they would give him any cash.

 

The clerk at the store said, “It’s too bad you don’t have a credit card.”

 

Hal said, “Oh, I do have a credit card. Do you take credit cards?”

 

She said, “No.”

 

I woke up.
 

 

Dear Friend,

 

Dreams are so strange when you look at them in the natural.  Let’s look at the metaphors of this dream.
 

 

Auto = own life/work/ministry

 

Store = place of provision (1Kgs 9:19, 1Chro 27:25)

 

Buy = obtain through recompense (Rev 5:9, 3:18)

 

Bottle = vessel or supply (Exo 37:16, 2Sam 10:19)

 

Window = revelation / ability to “see” or understand (Gen 7:11, 8:2, 2 Kgs 7:2, 7:19)

 

Cash = recompense from humanistic endeavors

 

Clerk = one in charge of distribution

 

Pay check = recompense owed from works

 

6 = man (Gen 2:2-3, 2:7, Rev 13:18)

 

600 = mankind in large quantity

 

Truck = large work

 

Driving = in control of

 

 Personal check = personal “measurement of status”

 

No deposits = no input or investments made into local places of (banks) receiving God’s favor (Gen 47:15, Is 40:10)

 

Credit cards = receive credit for
 

 

So, for fun….let’s “substitute the metaphor-meaning” into the dream.
 

 

Hal was in an = own life/work/ministry parts place of provision trying to obtain through recompense a vessel or supply of revelation / ability to “see” or understand cleaner. He didn’t have any recompense from humanistic endeavors. He explained to the one in charge of distribution that though he had a recompense owed from works for over mankind in large quantity from a large work in control of job, he didn’t have any personal “measurement of status” with him or have no input or investments made into local places of (banks) receiving God’s favor. Since the local bank didn’t know him, they just wanted him to deposit the personal “measurement of status” and wait till it cleared before they would give him any recompense from humanistic endeavors.

 

The clerk at the store said, “It’s too bad you don’t receive credit for.”

 

Hal said, “Oh, I do receive credit for. Do you take receive credit for?”

 

She said, “No.”

 

I woke up.
 

 

Okay… it looks to me that Hal is trying to obtain an increase in his ability to “see” or understand things, but he has not invested into the local places of God’s favor.  Can this be “church” maybe? 

 

Possibly this is telling Hal to receive ability to understand things of God, he needs to invest in God’s places near him.

Tulips and the Holy Spirit

 

Marsha,

 

I dreamed these a few months ago.  What do they mean?

 

F.F.

 

First Dream:
Its night time and I am outside.  There is a black fence around waist high.  A man jumps over it to be with me.  We lay down and look up at the sky.  We have our heads on the curb of the sidewalk and our bodies on the asphalt.  He has one hand under his head and his right arm around me.  I have my head on his chest.  He is wearing a blue sweatshirt and I can’t see his face, but he is brown (dark-skinned).

 

Second Dream:

 

I had tulips in a vase.  I took them out of the water and they began to die.  I put them back in the water and they lived. 

 

 Dear F.F.

Let’s look at the first dream:

Its night time and I am outside.  There is a black fence around waist high.  A man jumps over it to be with me.  We lay down and look up at the sky.  We have our heads on the curb of the sidewalk and our bodies on the asphalt.  He has one hand under his head and his right arm around me.  I have my head on his chest.  He is wearing a blue sweatshirt and I can’t see his face, but he is brown (dark-skinned).

 

Its symbols are great. 

 

Night time –  a time of being unable to “see” (understand things) clearly

 

I am outside – you feel you are “outside” of things

 

Black fence around waist high –  obstacles around you of wasteful issues

 

Man can’t see his face –  Holy Spirit

 

Wearing blue sweatshirt –  covering (shirt) of Holy Spirit’s works (sweat) is revelation (blue)

 

We lay down –  You rest in Him

 

And look at the sky –  Look at things spiritually

 

Head on curb and body on asphalt –  while body is on everyday going forward, your head is on your “side” walk i.e. your spiritual walk or ministry on the side.

 

He had arm around you –  The Holy Spirit has His arm around you.

 

I believe this is saying this is a time of being unable to “see” (understand) clearly and you are feeling you are not on the “inside track” but outside of things.  And there are barriers all around you.  But the Holy Spirit who is covered in revelation is with you and has his arms around you.

 

Now, looking at the second dream:

 

I had tulips in a vase.  I took them out of the water and they began to die.  I put them back in the water and they lived. 

 

Its symbols are also good.  Keep in mind a flower is often people whose lives are fleeting / will pass away (Mt 6:28-30, Jam 1:10)

 

 Tulips – a person who is doing speaking (two lips)

 

Vase – a vessel or vehicle to receive water

 

Water – Word of God (Nehemiah 9:15, Psalms 73:10, Isaiah 55:1, John 4:10-15)

 

Die – spiritual change / spiritual death (Leviticus 22:9, 1Samuel 2:6, Psalms 49:10, 2 Timothy 2:11)

 

I believe this is saying people  (flowers) who are speaking out (tulip – two lips – speaking) that are in a vehicle to receive the water (flow and Word of God) are alive.  When they are out of the Word of God they begin to lose their no spiritual life (die).  If they go back to the Word of God, they are alive in the spirit again.  You (as the dreamer) have a part in bringing people back to the Word of God.

 

 Both of these dreams are wonderful and speak of your relationship with the Holy Spirit and your calling to help others.

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.

 

MW

 

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.

 

 

 

Marsha

 

 

 

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.

 

 

Soaring across Countries

Hello Readers,
I need to apologize for being off-line for the past two months. I’ve dealt with a death in the family and personal illness, and illness of my spouse.  Tough season! But my prayer warriors got me through it.
God Bless you all,
Marsha

Dated: March 11, 2016

Dear Marsha,

 

Hello. I recently asked the Holy Spirit to lead me to the prophet who had understanding as to where the Lord was taking me and explanation of what’s been happening in my life. I then found You. And all that I have been experiencing now makes sense and has been explained well. I see clearer in the spirit, but with the last few dreams, I’ve been a bit perplexed.

 

 Dream:

 

I began to soar through the sky, traveling from one country through another. I remember going through Asia and India, but can’t fully remember the other 3, but I knew I had traveled through 5. I soared through mountains covered with snow; through wilderness; over great waters; and over cities, before touching down in the US. Once my feet touched land, I ask persons I saw below, where was I? Because I had traveled so far, I didn’t know what country I was in. In this particular place, was a rental complex, which I ask what was it name and was told. I saw a staff member coming down stairs, and a young man then exit out the front door where then I was told the name of the resident.

 

(This was confirmation I didn’t know at the time I awoke, was the very place my younger brother stated, he would be residing at, after searching for an apartment…confirmation).

 

I then saw myself in a room. When I first entered the room, it looked as if I hadn’t been there in a while. Things seemed old and dusty and some things in plastic bags. I then began to go through things as if I wouldn’t be there.

 

 Can you give me understanding as to what the first and later part of the dream depicts for me?

 

Signed, DTG

 

 

 

Dear DTG,

Since the Focus of a dream and the Sub Focus of a dream gives a quick summary of the dream, I’d like to start this interpretation by looking at the Focus and the Sub Focus first. 

Remember, the Focus is “’Who’ or ‘What’ is the dream about?”…in other words, who or what is the star of the dream?  In this case, it is about YOU, the dreamer. 

 

The Sub Focus is supposed to answer this question, “If this Sub Focus wasn’t there, would the dream exist?”  There may be more than one Sub Focus.   In this case I believe the Sub Focuses are: Soar, Traveling and also Rental Complex.

 

So, let’s look at the symbols for just the Focus and Sub Focus right now. 

 

You are of course not symbolic and actually represent you. 

Soar = symbolic for high spiritual activity. (Air is often things that are spiritual – going through the air might indicate spiritual activity)
Traveling = symbolic for taking this to new places.  
Rental = temporary place you are “working/way of living/ministry” – a place you are temporarily
Complex = a complicated and convoluted area / a lot of things going on.

 Now, to put this together, this says: you will be experiencing high spiritual activity and it will be taking you to new places. One of these places is a temporary situation where a lot of things are going on and is a little convoluted.

 

Okay. Let’s look at the rest of the symbols in the dream.  They are details explain and describing. 

 

5 countries = I believe in this case it literally means five different countries.

Across mountains with snow, wilderness, over great waters, cities = indicates the vast travel between these countries
USA = believe this literally means the USA
Ask persons “Where was I?” = Seeking answers of where you are in your life
Staff = others working in the same area you are working/in ministry/way of living
Downstairs = downward transition
Young man going through exit = leaving that area of work/ministry/way of living
Me in room = your particular place in this work/ministry/way of living
Seemed old = seems to be old ways – (not good in this case)
Dusty = covered in things of the earth and needs cleansing
Plastic bags = packaged up in man-made ways
Go through things = inspecting and looking at things

Putting these details into the interpretation, I would say this is a Calling Dream telling you what you are called to do and also a Self-Condition Dream telling you some of the things you are / or will be facing.  The dream means:

 

You are called to high spiritual activity. This will take you to five countries from mountainous regions to wilderness, to cities and subsequently over the oceans to the USA.  In the USA you will for a temporary time be in a situation where you will be either “working/a way of living/ or a ministry” where a lot of things are going on. It is convoluted. While there, you witness other(s) that work there in a downward transition.  You also witness other(s) leave.  You, personally are in a situation where you are dealing with old ways (that are not especially good) and things that are covered in man-made and earthly issues.   You are trying to sort this out.

 

Whew!   Good dream.  The Lord is obviously with you.  He is taking you many places.  Awesome.  Don’t be discouraged by the experience you have. This dream is telling you what that’s about.  It’s not YOU. It’s the situation you are in and the dream says it is affecting others also.  I believe that part of the dream is given to you to center you during a difficult time here in the USA. Help you understand.  I believe the confirmation of the name in the dream is to confirm to you a “truth” of this dream.  It is not really a part of the dream…but is saying to you – this is real.  Pay Attention.  I wouldn’t give it more credence than that. However, it’s always a possibility the Lord is giving you a specific address for this to happen.  But, often these things are symbolic rather than specific.

A personal note to you about some other comments in your email.
I am glad to see how the Lord is using you.  He is so much fun to follow.  And it’s difficult also.  It’s good to read you’ve been given some answers lately and are seeing more clearly. 

I want to encourage you my brother to never give up on what the Lord is doing.  He takes us through controversy to help us with our faith, to teach us, and for many more reasons.  Claim all rewards by asking him for them.  Asking comes before receiving in God’s world. 

 

We all have questions on how to get the unseen to the seen.  The answer really is that it is HIS responsibility to do that. We know in part, and we see in part. Until He reveals to us what He wants us to see.  That makes our walk a “Faith Walk”.  Keep praying about the promises he’s made to you.  Speak the promises back to Him, saying: “Father, You said….”  Ask and it shall be given.  We are all locked arm-in-arm in the Army of God. I have prayed for truth, discernment, and protection on you.
God’s blessings and protection on you as you go forth in His work.

Kitten on Her Lap

 

Dear Marsha,

 

This dream was by Tia.  Tia, Karin, and Dawna are three preteen and early teen girls who run around together.  Tia had this dream.
I have some thoughts on it, but what are your thoughts?
Mom of one of the girls
Dream:
Tia, Karin, and Dawna, were getting ready to go swimming – putting on sunscreen.  They were going “night swimming”. It was dark outside. Karin started driving the truck.  She had a kitten on her lap that she was holding. Karin let go of the wheel and the kitten jumped down and pushed the pedal and made the truck go out of control.  And Karin couldn’t get control of the truck and it went off the road.  They went over a very rocky cliff. Tia told everyone to start praying. God’s angels came down from above and saved them one by one. Had wings and white dresses and golden beautiful halos. God spoke the word bravery to Tia in the dream. Then God carried them back to safety and “made me feel loved more than I could imagine”.

Dear Mom,

Let’s look at the symbols:

·         Go swimming – immerse themselves in deep things of the spirit (good or bad spirit – depending on night swimming or day clear swimming).

 

·         Sunscreen – filtering out the ‘Son’, ignoring God

 

·         Driving the truck – calling the shots or the leader, in control of the situation

 

·         Kitten = willfulness but on a small scale

 

·         Went off the road = off the pathway or getting into trouble

 

·         Very rocky cliff = trials and hard times

 

Now, to put this together, I would say this dream might mean:

 

Karin is leading the other two girls to explore some dark things.  She thinks she can keep a handle on it, but it starts to control their experiences, and Karin can’t stop it.  Tia reacts by praying and turning toward God.  God honors her request and helps them.  The experience brings Tia closer to God, allowing her to feel His immense love.

 

Now, as a mom I know you are concerned but please note that the willfulness was displayed as a kitten, not a full grown cat.  This indicates willfulness on a small scale.  So I would suggest you not be over concerned about this.  Considering their age (preteen and early teens) this is a time when all ealthy children start to exert their personality and “try” things.  As parents, we need to be diligent about loving them, and guiding them in a healthy way through their wrong choices.  This dream may be speaking of something the girls have already done, or something they are currently involved in, or will be doing.  Either way, I believe this is a call to pray for discernment and direction for the girls.  The dream already shows God will be there to bail them out.  Yay God!  Thank you God!

Marsha
