 Dream Two: A Dream of Masks and Foundation

In my dream, I saw someone I no longer speak to at a masquerade party at night. I only saw him from behind and from his right side, but I knew it was him. He wore a black suit. While others danced and twirled around in masks, he walked slowly. I watched as he approached a woman and kissed her, putting his tongue in her mouth, which made me feel disgusted. Some guests wore masks covering only their eyes, while others had full masks; I believe his mask covered only his eyes. The scene shifted, and I looked at my phone, where I received several pictures from him of that night, along with a voice message. The message was noisy, with sounds of commotion and possibly sexual acts. I wondered why he sent these to me—was it an accident or intentional? I also thought, since we no longer speak, why would he do this?

The scene changed like it always does in my dreams, where I’m in a whole different place. I was somewhere where construction was being done; it felt like it was my place where the construction was being held. I started to walk away to call him, but I had to pass through the construction where a man was laying the foundation. As I walked around, he looked at me with disappointment. The look he had on his face was as if he was thinking; Why even bother to call him? When I finally made the call, I confronted him, asking him; Why would you send me this stuff? We don’t even talk anymore. I continued to yell at him, and I remember saying I know why you did this, it’s me, you just don’t like me! I told him I never wanted to speak to him again. He tried to dismiss my feelings, making light of the situation, saying Don’t be like that, or It’s not that serious or something of that sort. Then I woke up dazed and confused.

Reflection:
The construction site in this dream felt symbolic. It was a place of building, but it also felt like I owned the land where the foundation was being laid. The man laying the foundation looked at me with disappointment, which reminded me that even when we face old challenges or people from our past, there is a cost to stepping into certain situations—and sometimes the judgment we fear is more about ourselves than others.

Scripture Connection:
This dream recalled Christ as the chief cornerstone:

Ephesians 2:20 having been built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ Himself being the chief cornerstone,

Psalms 118:22 The stone which the builders refused is become the head stone of the corner

I felt the reminder that no matter who or what comes into our path, the foundation of our lives—built on Christ—is secure and strong.

Broader Reflection / Teaching:
This dream reminded me that I am in the process of building a new foundation—spiritually, emotionally, and personally—on Christ, the one true cornerstone. Not everyone who tries to reach me is meant to have access to me. Some people live behind masks. I know this person must, for me to dream that, and I thank the Lord through Jesus Christ for the revelation. Biblically, there are several factors behind why one could wear masks; reasons can be hypocrisy and deception. Masks, in a symbolic sense, can represent the tension between one's identity and the persona presented to the world, but God gives us eyes to see beyond the surface and the courage to step forward on a foundation that is secure in Him. Dreams like this show that spiritual growth often comes from confronting the past while walking toward the future God is preparing for us.

Dream One: A Dream of Escape

  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...

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 ...
