• DREAMS

  I had three dreams this past year that seemed to go together.  Go ahead and read and interpret them as you feel.  I left my short interpretation at the bottom...

  1)  I was in a large container completely filled with water.  The little ones from the baby room here at the orphanage were with me along with one of their dorm mothers.  Although we were under the water, we could breathe fine.  The water was completely pure and felt great.  I remember seeing some of the little ones float around with big smiles on their faces. 

  2)  I was at the top of a mountain at the edge of a cliff.  All I could see was clouds below, but I felt safe knowing there was water down below.  I jumped and felt like I was flying as I fell and fell and fell.  Sure enough, as I made it through the clouds I saw a pool of water below.  I landed in the water and with no effort came back to the surface.  I felt a ton of joy and was ready to do it again.

  3)  This dream was more of a long nightmare, like a twisted horror movie.  I was living in a huge complex with many different people.  We each had our own apartments and a ton of extra luxuries.  We felt like we were blessed kings.  As the dream went on I began to realize there was something wrong with our "utopia."  I snuck outside to find many soldiers who had dug large, deep pits for the bodies of the people living in the complex.  I realized it our days in the "utopia" were numbered and soon we would be ruthlessly killed.  I knew I had to run for it.  The soldiers saw me escape and began to pursue me.  They had tanks and jeeps and weapons and I knew I couldn't escape them for long.  I saw a cliff with a river far below it.  I knew my only chance was to jump in the river and trust its current would take me to safety.  I jumped and landed deep in the middle of the rushing river.  I was about 20 feet below the water, but like the first dream I could breathe fine.  I swam effortlessly as the current took me quickly down the river.  I felt at peace.

  My interpretation:  The water represents the Holy Spirit.  "For in him we live and move and have our being" - Acts 17:28.  Even in that nightmare, I felt peace as I was deep in that water, I knew I was safe.  I have been and am continuing to pray for His rain to fall on me, my orphanage, Korea, and this world. 

  "You heavens above, rain down righteousness; let the clouds shower it down.  Let the earth open wide, let salvation spring up, let righteousness grow with it; I, the Lord, have created it" - Isaiah 45:8.
