I was recently at a conference when a lady asked me about a couple of reoccurring dreams she had had.
The first one was about trying to make a decision about which shoes to buy and the second one was regarding about choosing which clothes to wear.
Both dreams were talking about her being in a place of transition, where she wasn’t quite sure where she was going to next or what she was about to step into next. She confirmed this was exactly where she was at!

Hi Erin, this is the dream I had just over a week ago.
I was visiting some friends at their house, although the house in the dream was different to their actual house.
We were sitting there chatting and discussing manicures. It was raining outside, and I looked out the window and noticed that it had started to flood. The water started shallow but swift, but was getting deeper by the minute. There were some people outside the window and they were having trouble trying to keep their footing in the water. A woman got swept off her feet, and a man tried to grab her but was swept away too.
The water kept rising, and I went to the door on the other side of the house and opened it. I had to pull it shut quickly because the water had reached the door and was rising rapidly. The whole house was in the middle of the flood, which looked like a large river. The water was moving really quickly but wasn’t muddy like most flood water, it just looked like river water. I was a bit worried about the people who had been swept away in the flood because it looked scary, but I don’t think the flood was a bad thing.
It seemed that the house would be swept off down the river too, but then I woke up.

Hi Erin, here is another dream. I had this one a while ago (and wrote it down).
In the dream I was in America and I was at a conference. They had some kind of workshops where people had split into smaller groups. At the workshop I went to I noticed that people wanted to take notes, but they didn’t have any paper. I went to the person running it and asked if I should go and get some paper. I was told I could get it at K-mart, and that I needed to buy 10,000 sheets of paper. (I was trying to work out how many packets of paper that would be, and figured out that it would be 20).
I got in a car to drive to K-mart. For some reason my dad was in the car with me. I drove down the road and had to turn right at some traffic lights. At that point I realised that I was driving on the left hand side of the road, so in the dream I realised that it must be a dream because in America they drive on the right.
I got the paper and went back to the conference. They were taking a break for a meal. I got invited to sit at the table with the conference speakers because my dad was with me and he knew them. Then I woke up.
I think I have a few ideas about what this could mean, but your comments would be really appreciated.

Psalm91
I dreamt I was up the front to be ministered to, and a man was about to pray for me. He said ” Do you mind if I call you Rachel” ( this is not my name) I said thats fine and immediately upon me saying this, I started to lift off the ground and demons started to react majorly. I even started to manifest in my dream a bit. It was like the demons did not like it.

I had a very strange dream, I saw our church, it was as usual but when I went inside, it was different and bigger, I saw like an internet cafe, someone was preaching and there was a big screen behind them, as I went through it, I thought it to be quite youth orientated. i went through doors and came into another auditorium, there I found a my pastor preaching at the front, again same big screen behind him, and there was a cafe to the side of this auditorium.
I suspect that I was shown our church bigger than it is now. I am not sure yet if this is correct.

I dreamnt that I was with my husband on the road to somewhere. We met some friends. Both occasion there were 2 friends we knew from the same fellowship we were going to. These friends told us the same thing, ie they have left the fellowship and we were surprised because we had no idea! We finally arrived at a place where our Christian friends were. I told them about what we just came across and said “I think God is trying to say something to me”. A black sister asked me “Do you know what is the meaning of number 2?” and I replied “I don’t know”.
During the time of this dream I was away on holiday with my husband and son. The first hotel room was “223″ and the second hotel room number was “322″. We think the numbers are very significant as well as these 2 groups of 2 people telling us that they have left the fellowship we were going to. Please let us know what you think.

Hi there,
Sounds like you are in a place of ‘transition’ on the road to somewhere, which is a place where many in the Body of Christ are at present. The number 2 can mean several things, depending on the context of your dream, and often the feelings or emotions that you felt whilst dreaming. 2 can mean, in the positive:- witness and support, blessing, and in the negative can mean separation or division. A hotel is a temporary place or transition which lines up with the first part of your dream. The number 3 can mean Holy Trinity, divine completeness, fullness.
The thought that springs to my mind is that initially you may be (or have been) going through a time of separation even division whether that is physically or in the Spirit from where you have been, but you are about to come into a time of fullness or completeness in the Lord (this is looking at the room numbers moving from the negative into the positive and how they actually swap around) where you will come into a place and find support and blessing. So yes, I believe the numbers are significant – God loves using numbers in dreams, and looks like things are about to turn around for you, a very encouraging dream!

Hi Delwyn,
The church is growing using this medium and it is drawing the youth in particular – this could purely be a “true” dream where it eventually happens as you saw it – growth, particularly with the youth just for your church, or it could be for the church in general.
Sometimes God uses a play on words as well. In particular the “Internet Cafe” part. I personally believe that there is going to be a big explosion using the Internet to reach Christians and non-Christians alike – just need to look at the growth in Social Networking to see what is happening.
Sometimes dreams are sent so we can pray and prophesy for things to actually come about – have a feeling that you may be an intercessor anyway and this is a great one to pray into.

Hi Lavinia,
I would suggest if you haven’t already done so that you read up on Rachel and study who she was and what she did. What jumps out to me is in Ruth 4:11 May the Lord make the woman who is coming into your home like Rachel and Leah, who together built up the house of Israel. Rachel built up the house of Israel. What has God called you to build up – this will be talking about the calling over your life, and you will rise above any adversity to fulfill the plans God has for your life, and yes, the enemy will not be impressed and try to prevent you from fulfilling your destiny…….but you know the end of the story….you win!!!

Hi there
I’ve discovered this website today. I’ve attended the Glory & Prophetic School by Rob & Lyn, and some XWorship nights. Still I feel that I’m inexperienced when it comes to the spiritual realm, therefore I feel encouraged by your website and hope that you may be able to help me with interpretation of some of my dreams/visions/experiences. I’ve had many spiritual experiences but I have resisted a lot of what has been happening to me, because of the lack of understanding. On the other hand, I’ve been desperately seeking God. Between the two (resisting & seeking), I feel stuck; sometimes even discouraged (like I’m going in circles with no breakthrough), and sometimes drained (emotionally).
I’ve noticed that before I have an experience, my body and soul become completely still. I’m comfortable with this part, but usually I’m uncomfortable with what follows. The reason is that often times, I feel like I’m going away. It is such a real thing that it scares me. I feel weightless and a couple of times my hands flu high into the air, all by themselves, being light as feathers. Last time, after my hands had gone up, I felt my whole body was going to be lifted up so easily, but I could not allow myself to lean into it. Then I felt strong and very refreshing wind blow on me. I was praying and asking the Lord why He was silent in all of this, and petitioning Him to speak to me. Then I heard a song, at first quietly, but quickly it became very loud. It was a lovely song, with contemporary music and very dynamic. The chorus of the song got stuck with me, and it was saying: “Let it go, let it go, let it go”, many times. I don’t know how to let go. Then I saw different geometric shapes & patters before my eyes, changing rapidly, being very vivid and lively. At this stage, I was overwhelmed (as often times I am), and in my heart I desired to come back to my “normal” state. Immediately I did. Then I noticed that my hands were not moved at all (remember how I felt they went up into the air), and my body wasn’t physically moved at all (actually, it was completely still).
Not long ago, I had a dream that I was walking on water. I didn’t plan to but I came to a place where I could not cross to the other end because there was water between the two land masses. So I put my feet onto the water and started to cross over. It was easy and I wasn’t scared at all. I crossed over to the other side.
Two times recently, I saw a white horse with no rider. The first time it was beside the water; the second time it was crossing through the water and I was following closely after him. I think we managed to cross to the other side. The first time I saw the white horse in the dream, I also saw a group of people dressed in the most colourful clothes, all having very colourful umbrellas over their heads (although it was a sunny day), and all of the people were going into the water. Then I saw the white horse standing beside the water (this was the first dream).
Also, I had the most unusual dream in I saw Jesus; His body broken and bleeding. At first I wasn’t drawn to Him because of His appearance; then I realised how hard hearted I was towards Him. Then I leaned my head against His broken face and I was literally standing under His breath. From this place, He spoke to me. Unfortunately, I forgot the most of the things He said; but I remember that He said this: “From this place, you will shepherd”.
I would like to share one last thing. I felt I was at the feet of Jesus (not sure if it was at the foot of the Cross?). I did not want to leave that place. I asked Jesus: “Don’t you think that my love for you is real?”. He answered: “Yes, it is. But it’s not deep (like it doesn’t have a deep root, probably to withstand opposition; I’m not sure, this is my interpretation of His word). I said: “Give me a token (sign) of your love by which I will be able to withstand.” I received no response to this. Then I asked Jesus: “Please do not leave (because I loved to be at that place at His feet”. Jesus replied: “I’m here”. I was so comforted by His answer. Then all of a sudden I heard a question: “Which colour is this?” I said: “Purple” (because I saw purple). He said: “Yes, purple”. Here it all ended.
Erin, I know I have written a lot. I am a bit desperate because I am so puzzled. Please help me unwrap some of this if you can.
Many thanks and blessings,
Anna

Hi Anna,
First of all don’ forget to come up and say Hi at the next Extravagant Worship you attend!
Wow, some of your experiences are so amazing! And it looks like the song you received answered what was going on with your experience. I suppose it comes down to just relaxing and feeling the assurance that your experiences are truly from God, which I am sure they are because like with anything supernatural, it totally depends on the source you are plugged into and you are plugged into God and focused on Him when you are experiencing these things. You say that you have been through the Glory School, I would recommend that you go through the notes again and pray through them and do your own study as the Lord leads – the Holy Spirit will lead you into truth, and give you a peace within your spirit. Also would probably recommend to come to another Glory school – free if you have already attended one, and they are now over the weekend so you don’t miss any time off work.
I have often come to a place where I feel like I am going to lift off the ground particularly in worship and have felt my arm/s go right up of their own accord literally, and when I lean into this (I have asked others about this, but this seems to be the way God works with me) I often feel a strong sense of the Holy Spirit coming upon me and I will most usually be inspired to sing something out – the actual act of raising my arms releases something – I just think about Moses when he raised his hands to defeat the Amelikites. (He had a little help to keep them up
)
The letting go part comes with feeling safe and secure and trusting that God and the Holy Spirit are the ones doing the leading, so to get to that point where you can let go, it is important to ask God why you feel you can’t, and ask him to highlight any areas in your life in the pas or present that have caused you to be fearful of letting go and then pray into them – have others had too much control in your life in the past or present or has it always been that way, that you feel more confident when you take the lead – either way, just keep asking the Holy Spirit for clues and how to just relax in Him.
In your dreams the desire you have to let go and trust is coming through – you are walking on water!! I also believe that the dream is showing you that it is okay, it is safe and you will make it from where you are now to where you desire to be – a very encouraging dream – as it is showing you it isn’t hard after all but easy – sometimes our intellect gets in the way of our Spirit and that’s why I believe God can sometimes speak clearer in dreams – because they speak directly to our spirit.
The white horse can mean a couple of things – I like to always stress symbols are different for different people, and it is important to start to recognise what they mean in your life – firstly of course I think of Revelation 10:11 with the White Horse whose rider is Jesus – in this case your horse is riderless – so maybe speaking of leading you to where Jesus is and into the water which is the Holy Spirit, and then out the other side. I believe God is showing you that it is safe to go deeper if you just follow Him.
Wondering if the dream where you saw the people wearing all different colours carrying umbrellas as they go into the water even though it is sunny is talking about how that people – particularly the church, made up of such a variety of people have got their umbrellas up for protection from the rain – it is not raining, therefore they won’t get wet anyway so could be talking about the different mechanisms we use to protect ourselves, when we don’t actually need to, the sun/Son is shining so we need to allow Him to penetrate our minds – they are going into the water, so they are open to things of the Holy Spirit but still possibly holding onto things that they need to let go or don’t need – again they are being led by the riderless white horse – which I think again in this case represents Jesus – but this is something you need to ask God about as it is a constant in your dreams, which means He is trying to get a message to you and you need to learn His dream language just for you. A horse can also mean a ministry of power and authority – and because it is white there is purity – colours are very important – so therefore this dream could also mean that there is a ministry of power and authority that will lead people deep into the Holy Spirit but they may still need to let go of their protection mechanisms they have relied on in the past to fully embrace what God is going to do. Again a great dream – keep asking God to reveal more to you and to even take you back into any significant dreams you have so you can learn more. These are ideas for you to ponder on – the dreamer, when they discover the correct interpretation, will usually feel a witness in their spirit.
Isn’t it amazing that Jesus/God/Holy Spirit comes to us in our dreams again He is wanting you to lean into Him – to be so close – to not allow anything to come between you and to actually feel His breath upon you. (side track – you felt the wind of His presence earlier on manifesting) Only from this place will you be able to lead others.
Anna, I do believe for you that when you have break through in letting go and completely trusting in Him and learning all the different ways how He speaks and moves upon you, that the floodgates will burst and because you have come into a new freedom, others will see this and long for the same closeness and abandonment and it will be easy for you to lead them into that place.
Regarding the last experience you mentioned – ask the Holy Spirit to take you back in – you mentioned the colour purple, which is usually associated with Royalty – I wonder if Jesus was reminding you that you are Royalty, you are a child of the King and because you are family, you can come to Him whenever you want!
Hope this helps you on your journey, again feel free to say Hi – we are back at Liberty this Saturday night for the second to last Xtravagant Worship of the year!
Blessings

Hi Erin
I came to the XWorship night but I did not see you there. Hopefully next time!
I’ve had a couple of dreams recently that I’m puzzled about. I believe there are very symbolic.
In the first dream I was listening to a radio station called “Gateway”. The voice from the radio program said: “This is the scripture program; reading from the Old Testament about the tribes of Israel.” Then it said (& I felt in my spirit that it was a message for me): “You have occupied the North Israel, 2 tribes; now you need to move and occupy the South Israel, 10 tribes”. The message had a very positive tone to it, charged with joy, optimism and power!
I am baffled because there were 10 tribes in the northern kingdom of Israel, but in my dream it is just the opposite???
This is my second dream: I saw the Sun descend on the waters of the sea. The Sun was white and magnificent in appearance. I had an impression in my spirit that the Sun was the Son, Jesus Christ. As I was looking at the Sun/Son, I had a vision. I saw a big city. Then I saw 4 large and wide rockets made out of pure gold launched into the waters from the shores of the City. I had a knowing in my spirit that the City was in the United States. I believe there was an explosion following the launch of the golden rockets. I could not see if the explosion happened in the water or on the shore.
Do you have any idea what’s the meaning of my dreams?
Thank you so much,
Anna

Hi Anna,
So great to finally meet you at the conference over the weekend!
Not many dreams are actually literal but as you have already mentioned symbolic or metaphoric. In this case with the first dream, often Israel represents the Bride or the church, and the number 2 can represent separation or division, and the number 10 can represent restoration. Often I find it easier when interpreting a dream to prophesy it, and then it starts to make more sense. So in this case – there is an Open Door – gateway – I think a time or place of opportunity has opened up in your life. You have been in a place of separation or division and now the Lord says it’s time to move into and occupy a place of restoration – you felt like this was a word for you and I agree, but I also think that it is a word for the body of Christ too! As you say this is so positive and optimistic and where the brethren dwell together in unity God commands a blessing, and is therefore also a place of power! Very pertinent to what we have been listening to over the weekend! Often God gives me dreams that are both for me personally and for the body, and I would say this is also one!
Both of these dreams are incredibly encouraging – and I would say the 2nd one is regarding the Spirit of Christ coming upon a city and from this city will be launched a powerful ministry that will be sent out and will be like an explosion of God’s glory wherever it lands – the number 4 can represent the 4 corners of the earth, so I would like to think that this will be a glory explosion that will be extremely far reaching!!
Fantastic dreams!!! An encouragement not only to you, but for the whole body of Christ! Ooooo more for Anna, Lord more!

Both of these happenings occurred within three weeks of each other.
1st Happening
One day I was rushing to get out of the house by 8.30am to get out of the house so as to attend Mass. I felt a little disgruntled with life in general at the time, and happened to be thinking ‘What am I really doing for God? What difference am I making for His Kingdom purposes?
“ I came out of my bedroom but on looking back I realised that I had left the light on. I returned and switched it ‘off’ but the light remained ‘on’. I did this for probably four or five times, thinking to myself that it was a strange phenomenon. I have never heard of anyone not being able to switch the light off before! Finally to my relief the switch worked, and at the same time it was like an audible voice within my head said, “The light never goes out June”. The light switch continues to operate in a normal way with no other signs of an electrical fault.”
2nd Happening
I was staying in Rotorua and because of the lack of space my husband and I are able to use the Public Service Holiday rooms there. Our sleeping arrangements were that there was one bed in the lounge and one in a small off room – which I decided to use for convenience sake because my husband likes to get up between five and six in the morning and I prefer to get up later.
“It was raining extremely heavily, and for days there had been torrential downpours, so heavy that we had to speak slightly louder because even on a tiled roof it made quite a sound. I had been asleep for some time although slightly surfacing every now and then due to the noise of the rain. I was also aware that it was lightening, for although my eyes were closed I felt or saw the brightness of the light. Then I must have become more awake because the thought came to me that if it was lightening, then why was there no thunder. And so I opened my eyes to find the light was on, but although I looked at the light bulb the room was actually much more brighter than the bulb which appeared yellow in comparison to the ‘white and very bright light’, which I could see. It was so bright that I had to close my eyes – when I opened them again after about five seconds the electric light was off and the light had gone. I am perplexed by this phenomenon and, yes, I had definitely turned the light off before going to bed”

Dear Erin,
I just found your website here, and find it very interesting to read all your responses to peoples dreams here, and I find it speak to me as God can use others dreams and intepretations to minister to me as well so thanks!
I would like to ask you something about an open vision God gave me just when I got saved, it has ever since been so significant to me.
In the open vision I could feel Gods love for me in an incredible way, I was totally surrounded by his love, but not just surrounded, it was like every cell in me was lit up by this incredible love. I heard the Lord say: I love you, over and over again.
Then I saw me driving a jeep on a dustroad. Someone I don´t know was sitting next to me, and we were driving over huge snakes.
I was not afraid, but I had never seen so huge snakes.
Then I was set in the most extraordinary beautiful place, and I was full of joy, a living joy I almost couldn´t contain.
And this part has puzzled me many times, I was looking out over this land, and I saw many, many pink flamingoes.
And I know it was significant, but didn´t understand where I was, or what it meant.
In 2008 I was in South Africa, and i love it there, I had been part of a missionteam to Afghanistan, doing missionwork and photojournalism.
I met a very strong woman in the Lord, and we prayed together.
And I was immediately given a very clear vision.
I was on the table mountain, and it was like a crew runing around me getting me ready with all kind of safty equipments, straps and stuff. I was standing on the edge, ready to jump out with a paraglider or something like that.
I mention it, because it has stayed in my thoughts since then, I am still waiting to jump!
Before leaving for that trip, I was given a dream, I felt was very strong.
I was diving down a very beautiful clear water.
I was toghether with other people that was diving with me, and we linked hands, as we where diving deeper and deeper.
I was the one diving first, and a dolphin came to help me draw the others, as we went deeper and deeper and I got afraid, It got harder and harder to breath, but when I was at the point thinking, I can´t go deeper, then it was a breakthrough, and we came into a place in the deep where we all could breath!
We dove up to the surface again and came to a beautiful beach with palmtrees.
Shortly after that dream I left for Hawaii, and did a school with ywam, with focus on photography, bringing awareness about injustice in the world.
But I didn´t feel finnished with it all, but for several different reasons I had to go back to Denamark, where I live ( I am swedish), and it was a deep sorrow to lay down something God gave me to do.
Last year 2009 was very hard, as I belive God prepared me for next step,
but I feel so much hope again, and I am so ready to go out again.
I hope that the gift God has given you to intepret dreams and vision, will help to shed some more light on this visions and dreams that God gave me.
Thank you so much,

Hi
I had a dream recently that I was giving birth. It was an unusal birth in that rather than giving birth as one would normally, I was required to go through what seemed like a military style confidence course. During this labour I was severly wounded, exhausted and near death. Eventually I gave birth to twins. A black baby and a white baby. The black baby was taken from me and given to someone else, I sensed an attitude of discust, almost like it shouldnt have been born and I was given the white baby to raise. I felt no concern for the black baby, only that I knew that I would not be allowed to have it

Hi June,
Sorry for the delay, between a new Grandbaby and selling our house and Christmas, haven’t been on the blog!
Isn’t God great – speaking to how you were feeling at the time – a little frustrated with where you were at! But to me it shows that God was encouraging you that no matter what is actually happening in your life, He is always at work – that you are a light in the darkness, salt in the world, even if you don’t think you are doing “great and mighty exploits” all the time – sounds like He is showing you, there is no fault at your end, just to keep pursuing Him as you have been doing, stay hungry!
Interestingly I had a similar experience last year when I was woken up in the middle of the night with a blue light coming on, on the ipod station – now this light has to be pushed in to be turned on quite firmly, and I don’t sleepwalk. When I finally figured out what was happening and got up to turn it off, I pushed it in quite firmly to turn it off and I couldn’t – like you, I tried this several times, thinking I was doing something wrong, I ended up waking up my husband and had to completely unplug the ipod to turn the light off, we have had no problems prior or since! I had also been having dreams about bringing light into the darkness, so again I believe for me, it was God trying to get my attention (maybe angelically
) I found this a hugely positive and encouraging experience!
Your second experience sounds similar – again God trying to get your attention, not just by speaking through the Word or through someone else, but by an experience. We read in the Word that God is Light, so I would call these experiences “visitations” and they are so exciting, would love to hear if you have any more!

Hi Anne,
What an amazing experience you had when you were first saved, fantastic! When we read the Bible, it is so filled with peoples experiences – that is the way of the Hebraic mindset, whereas the Greek mindset is turned towards education (theology). I believe the first part of the vision is self explanatory – God was showing you how much He loves you again, and again – and that He was showing you that it might be a long dry dusty road at times, but that He will always be with you and that you need to have no fear of any plans or lies of the enemy, between the two of you, you will crush them into the ground! I wonder if also the dusty road and the Pink Flamingoes represented where you eventually went to in South Africa – another nation or nations – and as you seem to have done a few mission trips – that seems to be your passion, the calling God has on your life, so of course to fulfill the plans and purposes He has for us gives both us and Him the greatest joy. (I also immediately thought of paradise – a glimpse of heaven)
The vision where you are on Table Mountain – again seems to me to point to South Africa, showing that you will be equipped with all you need before you do jump off the cliff – the Paraglider shows that when you do, it should be smooth sailing!
I believe the dream that you had, diving with the others into the clear water – speaks of going deeper into the things of the Holy Spirit. A dolphin speaks of people that are helpful and supportive, in perfect harmony and unity, and also good communicators – so this person/people could help you lead others into the deeper things of God too – it may seem a little bit scary and “out there”, but ultimately takes you into a richer relationship with him – also seems that you have these dreams/visions prior to your mission trips – they all seem to match up – but I do believe that there is a spiritual parallel along with it actually coming to pass in the natural. These are prophetic visions showing you what God is going to do in your life next. How amazing!!!!!!

Hi Anne,
Dreams of giving birth often can represent something new that is about to be birthed in our lives/or already has been – in this instance it shows that a lot of preparation has gone on before hand and you have been through some incredibly hard times to birth this dream into reality. The two babies makes me think of Isaac and Ishmael. Isaac the son of Abraham by Sarah was a part of the promise and Abrahamic covenant, whereas Ishmael was blessed, but not a son of covenant and sent away. So possibly speaking of two dreams that you have had, both blessed but there is only one that God wants you to truly follow, and the other will have to be laid down – seems to me that in the dream that you know which is which and it shouldn’t be hard to lay this one down.
Always interested to get feedback, if these interpretations make sense to the dreamer. God gives each person the dream and the interpretation needs to “feel right” with them.

Hi Erin
I have emailed you several times so far, and have always found your responses very helpful, revealing and encouraging! Thank you so much.
Now I find myself struggling again. I feel I am becoming exhausted and somehow my hope is diminishing.
I had a night vision, which in a way unsettled me. It is not easy to describe what I saw but I will try my best. I saw water, it had the most beautiful blue colours, and I knew it was the ocean. However, I could not see the open ocean, because I was boxed in with walls of ice all around me. I was moving above the water (it was more like flying above the water), going forward all the time. The whole scene was moving with me, going forward. It kept going and going, and I thought to myself that this has been a very long journey. I was becoming impatient and was looking to come out of it, probably onto the open ocean because I could not see anything to my left or right but walls of ice. I was getting tired. Then my flying accelerated very much to the degree that it scared me. However, all of a sudden, I came to a soft turn, and then instead of continuing to keep moving forward, I was pulled back and started to move backwards. I was devastated! I thought: “I’ve been travelling on this journey for so long and now when I was so keen to come through, I’ve found myself going backwards”. I wanted to know how this vision would finish, however the vision abruptly stopped here!
There was a short break, and then a new vision opened up. I was coming out of the gate (I had a sense there was a house behind me but I could not see it). I stood in front of the gate and was looking into the forest which was right in front of me. Then I saw many, many animals running out of the forest towards me. I thought they would stop by me or that I would catch some of them (I have no idea why I had that expectation). To my disappointment, they had just passed me by and ran behind the house. There were lots of these forest animals. All of them were herbivores (like squirrels, rabbits, badgers, beautiful deer, etc). I found this very awkward?!
I was curious why all these animals ran behind the house, so I decided to go after them. When I came to the back yard, instead of the animals I saw a large gathering of people. They were waiting for a preacher to come out onto a stage. However, instead of preaching, he invited me to come up the stage. He was a complete stranger to me; nevertheless I felt respect toward him, so I kneeled down before him. He leaned forward towards me. I thought he was going to say something very important to me. However, in a whisper he only asked me if I could collect the offering for him.
After this, he called me into the house (he didn’t even preach). He spoke to me in a serious tone: “You did not take the opportunity because you were not confident. You missed your opportunity to succeed. I have come here (specifically) to restore you to God’s plan. You will be given a new opportunity and you won’t miss it. You will take it. You will succeed”. Then the vision finished.
Just to add at the end, I find myself FLYING a lot in my dreams/visions. It is so real to me and totally awesome; I can’t compare it to anything here on Earth; what does ‘flying’ mean or represent? Once again, I appreciate your help so much. xx

Hi Anna,
I believe that the ocean, speaks about being surrounded by people, but feeling surrounded by a coldness and being shut off from them. Flying over the water means that you have been endeavouring to rise above these circumstances and keep pushing ahead, even though it has been a long journey. You are feeling strongly that you haven’t made any headway and are in fact going backwards.
The next part, speaks about coming out into a new place, where your old life/circumstances (house) are now behind you. Seeing the forest ahead of you, speaks of feeling it difficult to forge ahead. I believe you are tempted to keep revisiting the past and what you feel are your inadequacies.
Thankfully at the end the dream God is clearly telling you what has happened ““You did not take the opportunity because you were not confident. You missed your opportunity to succeed. I have come here (specifically) to restore you to God’s plan. You will be given a new opportunity and you won’t miss it. You will take it. You will succeed”.
God wants only the best for you, and He is redirecting you. Don’t focus on what has happened in the past, invite Him into those places where you feel inadequate and not worthy and ask Him to heal those hurts and lead you into the next phase of your life where you WILL SUCCEED, YOU WILL NOT MISS IT! I think this dream ends so wonderfully and is immensely encouraging for the next new season that you are coming into Philippians 1:6″ ..being confident of this, that He who began a good work in you will carry it onto completion until the day of Christ Jesus.”
Flying in dreams is absolutely amazing and sometimes I believe that this is more than just a dream and we are actually experiencing this. God is allowing our spirit to rise above the circumstances and sometimes taking us into a higher spiritual place.
Many Blessings

I dreamt that there was a red large heifer/bull in a pen with other cows. I was standing outside the pen watching as the large red one tried to move out of the pen, with the others ready to follow but a lady stood in the way and with little force just leaned her shoulder forward and that was enough for the red cow to retreat. I then saw a huge window on the side of the cow ( like a hole that I could see through it). Through the cow I could see the land on the other side.

Hi Lavinia,
Thinking that as you were observing this dream that it may be a situation that needs praying or interceding for. Sounds like there has been some problems/stubborness and/or opposition within a group of people, with some quite happy and ready to follow a forceful leader or position in one direction, but there is someone that is prepared to stand up and bear the brunt of the opposition and redirect the group, because she is prepared to do this, it is enough to cause the situation or the leader to retreat. (This may not necessarily be publically but through prayer and intercession.)
I believe that you have been given clarity of vision with this particular situation to be able to see a way through to a positive outcome on the other side.
Hope this helps clarify things for you,
Blessings

Hi Sarah,
Thanks for your kind comments!! Just in the process of doing a New Website, but will still attach this blog to it – will let you know when it is ready to go!
What a great little dream – mostly dreams use symbols and these symbols represent something else, which when we study the Bible we see that this is God’s language, and He speaks like this constantly. Occasionally, they prophesy the future – so let me know if this literally does come to pass! Symbolically money can represent favour, provision, spiritual giftings/riches. In this case because you are showing your sister in the kitchen, I am thinking that it could be talking about your “sister” in the Lord, and the kitchen is a place of food preparation, so it could be talking about you growing in spiritual giftings i.e. faith, wisdom etc.

Hi Sarah,
Another great dream and what I call a “Calling Dream”. So wonderful that you asked God what it meant and He answered you. I love that He uses so many different ways to speak to us – via another person, our dreams, the still small voice and His Word.

Hi Sarah,
Nice to hear from you again! Did you know that each of us has our own personal dream language that God speaks to us in…..we just have to figure out what our symbols mean to us – so I suggest that you begin writing these down and waiting on Him to hear what He is saying to you – you will eventually begin to decipher which ones to pay attention to and which to discard and which to shelve for the future, when God will give you further insight.
When we see a house in our dreams it is usually talking about our lives – if it is a house we have lived in, in the past – it is connected to that, present – now, one we are not familiar with, can mean the future for us, or that it is maybe not familiar territory in our life – it is really important to note down what you were feeling in your dreams – safe, great, scared etc – sounds like this first one you were feeling scared, so possibly something is coming into your life that may bring fear – t.v. can mean a play on the word television – talking about prophetic vision – again you have a similar feeling here of being fearful of someone doing something to you and not liking it – and in the last part you are excited about receiving a gift, and money with each gift- which we talked about in one of your previous dreams, which I think is indicating that you are growing in the spiritual giftings that God is giving to you and you are naturally excited about them! – as you mentioned you have felt that it has been sometimes difficult for you with others, and this may be causing you to feel you need to hide these giftings and what God is doing and this also may be connected to the fear you are feeling that is coming into your dreams. Keep pressing into God and resting in Him, as perfect love casts out all fear and He is Love! Look for others you can relate to and that are more mature in the Lord and in spiritual gifts and connect with them.
Have a great weekend and be Blessed

I drempt that I was in a space ship(the SS Enterprise)Ha! and something was wrong with it and it was hurtling through space somehow I was outside the ship thinking shouldn’t I be dead but I could breathe then the next thing I remember this big huge round rust coloured spaceship came along and an extendable arm came out and pulled us in.. it was a friendly ship then I was in like a teleportation room with a teleport table and a group of us were standing around this table looking at george washington period coins saying and laughing at hte same time that we had better take them off or the captain would steal them through teleportation as he collected them…how weird is that?

Hi Jools, This could possibly be talking about an “enterprise” or situation that you have been involved in, that is maybe feeling to you like there have been things wrong and it has been out of, or beyond your control. You have been wondering how you can possibly get through this, but support has been made available to you and this gives you a sense of safety. The new place that you come into, is a place where you and others with you are receiving revelation. George Washington coins have the statement “In God We Trust” stamped on them, so again this place of safety and the coins suggest that you can trust again but there seems to be a sense with you and the people connected to you that maybe you are still a little unsure of trusting whoever is in charge, so the feeling is “we better take it while we can, as it may not last”.
Just to let you know, all the dreams are moderated on this site and only show up when I approve them, in this case I hadn’t got around to interpreting it! Let me know your thoughts on this one, sometimes it is good to dialogue a little backwards and forwards to get a more accurate interpretation.

hi Erin it is different from what my christian dream book says, spaceship means going to the outer limits with god and outerspace means seeing into the cosmos…but i like yours too! do you do dream schools or prophetic schools? here in NZ?

Hi Julie,
Christian Dream symbol books are such a great tool!! Always remember that we each have our own personal “Dream Language” that God speaks to us in and it is up to us to figure out what our own symbols mean, symbol books are guidelines and usually taken from the Bible, in this case – no spaceships in the Bible, so taken from a dreamer or interpreters previous experience, but one symbol for one person could be different for another that is why it is important to look at the overall theme of the dream and take that into context. To be honest it is best to discuss with the dreamer in greater detail what they were feeling, what was going on in their life at the time etc and of course a big dollop of Holy Spirit guidance helps!!!! The blog is a place where you can come and hopefully get further parts to the jigsaw of your dreams, but without in depth discussion is often a very brief overview. Feel free to say, hey that’s not quite right! I feel that it might mean this, particularly because that was going on in my life at the time etc.
Funny that you ask about courses – I am just in the process of writing a course – starting with the basics first – as Dream Interpretation is somewhat like learning a new language – the language of the Holy Spirit! This should be up and running early next year, with a more advanced one following, including training for those that want to go into markets and fairs etc, which will also include Prophetic Evangelism. We will be doing these with Extreme Prophetic run by Lyn and Rob Packer. I am also in the process of pulling together a comprehensive symbol booklet that will help dreamers interpret their dreams – the new website is just getting the finishing touches on it and will be up and running very soon – will post this here and you can contact me on Facebook too.
Blessings

I have had dreams recently about large ominous clouds. But last night- this sky I dreamt about was something I have never seen & I remember thinking that I don’t think anyone has seen a sky like this either.
People were going to the beach, I was going to go and went to wake my husband, whom I was having trouble waking. Then I looked up at the sky. It was the Biggest, blackest, thickest cloud I had ever seen. The only light that could be seen, was around the very edge of the sky. It was like the light was the sky behind this huge cloud that could just about look like the sky.It seemed that, rolled in to this cloud were tornados, hurricanes- everything dooming.Then the electrical part / noise started.

While Im on you site at the moment, I’ll mention another dream I had a few weeks ago.
I dreamt my brain which was outside my body, but still connected by thick chords, was being operated on by a surgeon. The brain was white. I was watching while he was operating and I was talking to him. Then I remember he was getting rough like he was cleaning it. I said careful that still has to go back in to me.

Hi Lavinia,
Looks like a storm is on the horizon for you – possibly for others too – as you say people were going to the beach – seafront speaks about large groups of people. God will sometimes give us these sorts of dreams as a “heads-up” that we need to pray as there may be trouble brewing – could just be in the Spirit, so I would encourage you to pray and intercede and ask God to show you if there is anything specific that you need to pray into and warfare over.

Hi again Lavinia,
Ah God has such a sense of humour – wonderful imagery – I believe that you are undergoing some “Holy Spirit” surgery and God will be doing a deep cleaning and operating on your mind to bring about a new purity, it may get a little rough, but will be ultimately so worth it.

Hi Julie, Ha ha sometimes what we eat can affect our dreams, but in this case I think God is definitely talking to you. The first dream sounds like you are feeling very protective over either some that are younger than you or possibly even a new project that maybe the enemy has been having a go at and causing things to be very up and down, and feel a little out of control – a warfare type situation, it is great that you knew in the dream to speak in tongues and encourage the others to do the same to bring a peace into the situation, so would suggest you pray, ask God what the specific situation is and pray in tongues into it.
The second dream seems to indicate that you have felt there has been some unhealthy competition with others in the past, things may have been taken from you or you at least feel that they have, and you may need to pray into this and if you haven’t already done so forgive that person or persons who have caused an offense.
Last dream again is from your past and maybe a situation happened where you felt like the people were being abused or mistreated – not necessarily physically but emotionally – could be a past church situation possibly? where often people are going through the motions, because they don’t know any different and your desire was to point out their predicament – that they were swimming around in circles going nowhere and rescue them from that.
Hope this helps you put the puzzle of your dreams together.
Blessings
