 Dream One: A Dream of Escape

The Dream:
I had a dream where I was inside a man’s house, but my attention was drawn to the basement. When I went down, or appeared there, it didn’t feel like a regular basement; it felt like I was underground, like what under a city would look like, like a tunnel. 

I immediately began to feel trapped or stuck there. I remember the man motioning to the right side of the underground tunnel; it was like he was showing me everything he had done. I still felt a sense of being stuck, wanting to leave, not wanting to be there any longer. 

When I looked to the right, I saw rows of stone displays, each one different, having its own meaning. To the left, murky sewer water ran alongside them; both sides stretched for miles.  I had made up my mind that I wasn't going to stay there any longer, so I turned around to find the way out. At the top of the stairs was a large wooden flap, like a pet door but bigger, with light shining faintly through one side. I wanted to leave, and I believe that the man could sense that I wanted to leave, as if he could feel it too; he tried to stop me, holding something in his hand, controlling the flap. He motioned as if he was attempting to stop me from leaving, but he didn’t put much effort into forcing me to stay. but I still forced my way out, only to be met by a woman at the top of the stairs who positioned herself as one who was ready for a fight. Then she began to attack me. I fought back nothing seemed to work until I struck her with a white pole, and she fell backward, making painful noises. That was when I woke up.

Reflection:
When I woke up, the first thought that came to me was that the man could represent my husband, and the woman could represent myself. I don’t know if that’s the full meaning (because of certain circumstances, I feel it could have been), and I’m not trying to force an interpretation, but it struck me immediately. What stood out was the feeling of being trapped underground and struggling to get free—only to face another challenge immediately after. Sometimes in life, even when we push past darkness or limiting situations, resistance waits for us on the other side. This dream reminded me that freedom often comes with struggle, and even when I don’t understand everything, I can still ask God to shine His light on the hidden places of my life.

Scripture Connection:
No specific scripture came to mind for this dream, but the themes of struggle, freedom, and guidance remind me of the Lord’s presence in every challenge.

 

Broader Reflection / Teaching:
This dream showed me that sometimes we must fight through what feels like restriction or opposition to reach the freedom God has prepared for us. Even when obstacles appear, we can rely on His strength to guide us through. Dreams like this are a reminder that life’s battles are not always about the people we see, but about the spiritual growth and perseverance God is shaping within us.

Dream Six: God’s Heavenly Wonders

  Dream Six: God's Heavenly Wonders The Dream Once again, I found myself out in the world when I suddenly heard the Emergency Alert System — the same one cities test at the beginning of each month. But this time, instead of the usual voice calmly saying, “This is just a test,” I heard a woman’s voice saying, “This is not a test.” The sirens grew louder, and people around me began to panic. The sky shifted into a strange, deep orange. It frightened me because the last time I saw the sky look like that in real life, a tornado was approaching. That was my exact thought inside the dream  — “Is a tornado coming?”  I soon realized it wasn't a tornado, but I knew within the dream that something eventful was about to take place. Then the scene changed. I saw my mom holding these shiny purple hearts in her hands — so many that she could barely hold them all. Meanwhile, my youngest son said he needed to go somewhere, and that upset me. I remember thinking, “At a time like...

Dream Five: Kingdom Spouse in the Streets?

  Dream Five: Kingdom Spouse in the Streets The Dream I dreamed I was outside in a city, standing near a busy street. And then — I saw him… standing in the middle of the road as if he were preaching, trying to get people’s attention. Cars rushed past him, but he didn’t move. His posture was steady, focused, unshaken. I called out to him because it didn’t seem safe for him to be in the street like that. When he turned and looked at me, he didn’t speak, but his eyes said everything: “I got this.” In that moment, something about the way he looked at me felt close, as if there was an unspoken understanding between us. I called out to him in a way that felt natural, familiar — like how a wife might call out to her husband when she’s worried. He answered with that silent assurance, and then I woke up, still holding onto the feeling, wondering — not like the last time — Lord, what did that dream mean? Scripture “Go out quickly into the streets and lanes of the city…” — Luke 14:21 ...
