For years now, I’ve paid attention to my dreams. Some symbols show up over and over, each time with a similar nudge from the Spirit.
I can’t find my shoes or clothes.
Your role is changing.
I’m driving a car and it doesn’t go well.
You’re taking charge when you shouldn’t.
I’m in a house. I find a room I didn’t expect.
A new opportunity for ministry is coming.
Someone leaves a baby with me and doesn’t come back.
Don’t take on someone else’s job.
Dream on, friends, and listen up.
I never really tried to know
what my dreams were telling me;
where on earth does one go
with a skating chimpanzee?
Egypt’s Joseph I am not;
God has no special purpose planned
beyond that which I’ve already got:
lots of dogs, not enough hands.
So pass on, images from sleep,
I’ll laugh at those which I recall,
like chasing down some goats and sheep
while getting drunk with Lucille Ball.
If I miss something important, well
I guess I’ll get to hear God yell.
You are a lot more like Joseph than you give yourself credit for, Andrew. It was Joseph who understood how God could take something meant for evil and turn it into something good.
I do appreciate that…thank you!
And speaking of dreams, last night I dreamt I was a 46-year-old blonde female professional golfer.
That was SO disturbing…me, a BLONDE?
Gives me cold chills to think about it.
A halo of gold?
OK, I’ll buy that!
Good morning….
It may just be me..but can you explain the 1st 2 lines….they are confusing to me…thanks…..
Have a blessed day guys….

I’m not sure I understand your question, Kathy, but I’ll try to explain. The images in our dreams are sort of a language of symbols; that is, there’s meaning attached to the images. My dreams (not all of them, but many of them) reflect a personal language of symbols. Some images are unique to a specific dream, but others are often repeated. I’ve learned to sense the Holy Spirit’s whisper in my dreams, a bit of wisdom for the circumstances I face. It’s one more way God guides me.
Does that help?
