Over the past year I've had a couple of dreams that recur. I dont' know if I've posted them here - but it's to do with a garden. I know I posted a dream about 1 garden - with a water feature in it - and retaining walls etc.

I was thinking this through, these gardens could be life, things that are happening to you. Jesus i was thinking loved to be in gardens one that he would be in and we find him spending time in prayer at.
1 dream is to do with our house - which kind of is and isn't the house we live in at the moment. It's got several levels, different little balconies and walkways interconnecting - white painted wood railings and the like - different rooms - the layout changes somewhat fcrom dream to dream - but it's our house....we have it own it live in it. There's no sense of - this house belongs to my in-laws about it - we can and do whatever we like. The street in the dream tends to be a bit less built up.
The house you live in is the church that you are part of.
another dream is to do with the garden - and I had it the other night after going to buy some herbs ( I now have ALL the
Scarborough Fair herbs - parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
Something I've always wanted. Plus - the memory (I assume) of this particular dream - keeps coming back to me - it did after I bought the bay tree and considered buying an olive tree. Because my sleep is so disturbed - half the time I don't know if I'm remembering I've dreamed or if it's remembering THE dream. Anyway - this one is to do with a garden - and it seems that the dream I posted here about the garden with the retaining walls and water feature -
I was thinking that the garden an retaining wall is things that are delibrately made, done, most of what you are saying here is done that way. This shows a work or ministry, something you are called to. Here- a garden = growth, pruming, taking care of, bring to life. Retaining walls = made to hold back, organize, and keep safe by force, by will. something that is delibratelly done inorder that a garden care bee put there. Sounds alot like a ministry and G-ds hand to me.
is out the back of - or on another side of the house - where this recurring dream is. The recurring dream however shows a section of the house that is white - and has almost a latticed feel about the place - airy and light.

1- Proverbs Chapter 14 begins with a verse. It says “A wise woman buildeth her house, but the foolish plucketh it down with her own hands.”
2- my own walk through life, I have noted that somethings have a spiritual mood, or feel to them, this is with movies, music, things, some some more real than others, see it is easy not to note this unless you have been force to deal with it. I don't listen to some songs because of this reason, I don't watch movies that have this happen to me with. I have note that even some people have a feel to them, like a haveness, or those that seem like they drain you, just be you being around them. I believe that we as strong christian women, have the power and right to set up a place where others will get free in, healed in, losed from things that bind them. I had at one point been in a room a long time again with some friends of mine, this room was set up with lace and smalled wonderful. A feeling a peace was there, I asked why this was done and that it looked like a wadding had been done there, a quit place. This room was set aside for a pray closent, for privet time and fasting to those in a womens rally, you could small the anointing oil there.
so when you talk about this place, being white, something were white and light an airy, cement being something that would have been light, not needing paint on it, more natural and blending into nature was than painted, and force into the deco, this being those in churches being painted up and force into places and rolls. this makes things like nice, for a time, until you need to dig out the paint agian and force things back inorder, just so. I believe because this isn't something that would stand out to many, they don't see the harm in what they might be doing, playing the role of G-d, by forcing others to conform or be rejeacted, when this really don't have to do with the love of G-d. If the cenent is left alone, and taken care of with the right stuff, so that it is sealed, it keeps the weither from creating cracks and than braking apart what was forumed together. We can do the work or we or we can do it G-d's way.
The garden area isn't so much dirt as little garden plots that are raised about half a foot from the ground or so - and built out of what seems to be concrete painted white. There's also a white 'feature' - I'm not sure if it's a fountain or a fancy fountain looking statue. So the garden is weed free - and generally neat and tidy - and I'm usually planting something in the dream.
This may sound confusing - but I've remembered a 3rd garden dream I had about our real back yard.
The thing is - there is no way that the house we live in now - will ever look like this recurring dream garden part. It's red brick and on 2 levels - It really couldn't happen without a major windfall happening to extend the cement deck and frame up with lattice and white timber etc. Not to mention the house in the dream seems to have a pointy roof - not a 'butterfly' roof ( inverted) like we have. Neither could we ever afford to buy this house in the dream - for the same reasons - people don't accept tealeaves as currency
So - basically - I'd like to know if anyone has any insight into these garden dreams.
Well, like i said, as soon as I got some time I would go back and look at your dream better. I hope this was of help, I do believe that you as history has shown have a habit of dreaming things tht apply to others, other christians. If we are wise will would look and learn!
What others see as strang in you Mikki in G-ds eyes these are just just starts of dreams that in his hands can be made to come true!
