This post is about a week or so old — I did want to post it a day or so after the last dream that I detail below but didn’t get a chance with all the commotion and general business of end of year celebrations/family etc. So, dating these dreams — it was a few days before Christmas 2009, much had been happening and there was much I was, and continue to pray about.
I recently had two dreams — one a night. But these were not ordinary dreams, they were very vivid and have stayed with me since having them. Not sure what they mean or anything — but I pray that they are answers to prayers, no matter how oblique they are!
1st Dream — Sewing from the lip
The needle then goes on to create a colourful, joyful and wonderful place of peace — a weird, huge building like place that is colourful but exudes peace, all made from material and sewn together with the thick thread, leading back to my lip.
There was no pain associated with the needle going through my lip, or any pain at all. It felt like I could see the threading of my lip and the creation of the joyful place both from without and within, third and first perspective at the same time.
I awoke feeling quite refreshed but at the same time could feel the coarseness and fibres of the thread still in my mouth as phantoms. Not sure what it means — I could speculate but no definite revelations.
2nd Dream — My traditional preacher self
This one was a bizarre dream — should be a nightmare really but was more introspective!
Myself and my family were walking into a very traditional church, modern but traditional — and pardon to my Presbyterian brothers and sisters, seemingly a Presbyterian church. We were dressed very casually, as we would be going to worship now days. Walking through the doors and through the entranceway we entered the main auditorium where there was a fair sized crowd already seated in the wooden pews. There were flowers around and the whole place was quite pleasant.
But, standing talking to someone seated was a guy who was identical to myself, but was more clean cut and dressed in a suit with tie. I knew it wasn’t me but it was still very freaky that the guy was identical to me — sounded like me — for all intensive purposes WAS me but as a conservative, white, evangelistic Presbyterian preacher!
I woke up with the dream quite vivid again — I was more shocked by my appearance in the dream as a conservative minister (something I am not), than anything else!
Again — love to hear anyone’s interpretation of the dream! I will be mulling it around and may or may not post what I come to think later. But until then, I am open to your ideas!
