Yep… two quick blogs already today.
I hardly ever have dreams, or at least ones that I can remember after waking up. But a couple of nights ago I prayed in my blog that God would speak to me not only when I am awake but also while I sleep. I said… “God, help me to see You and hear You from the moment I wake up in the morning, until I lie down to sleep at night. And even then, speak to me in my dreams.”
Well, that same night I had a dream, and I remembered it well the next day. I have been thinking about it ever since, asking God if it had meaning for me. I have even made a couple attempts at interpreting a meaning. But I thought I’d go ahead and type up the details here in my blog and see if the Holy Spirit gives any of you insight into what it might mean. I’m always open for the Lord to work in whatever way He desires. So give it a read. If you have anything, feel free to respond by commenting to the blog or by emailing me.
I dreamt I was walking up the side of a hill, almost a mountain. It was a wooded area with many green trees. When I reached the top of the hill there was a clearing to the left, and while I hadn’t planned on turning in that direction, I was enticed by what I saw. It was a desert like place, with no vegetation at all, and off in the distance I could see old buildings. So I started walking toward them. As I got closer it actually looked like an old ghost town like the ones out in the Interior West. No one was around. I walked down the middle of the street, and then looked to my left and there was an old saloon-like bar open with a few people in it. I noticed the person serving as one of my colleagues (it was a specific person, but I will leave the name out). So I went in and began talking to the server, but I realized that he had no idea who I was. So I asked him if he knew _____ _____ (the colleague of mine), or was related to him in any way. He said, “No, I don’t believe so.” I sat down, ordered a drink, and we chatted a bit. But that was it. Everyone else just sort of carried on like I wasn’t there. And that’s all I can remember.
It’s really kind of simple. And it may be nothing. But since I don’t often remember dreams I thought I’d pass this one along. I believe God does still speak to us in this way today, and I know many of you are gifted with insight, or will at least pray for insight. Even if we get nothing out if it, at the very least we draw our ears closer to Jesus and His Spirit.
