QUOTE(Caneman @ Feb 9 2006, 12:50 PM)
Hi Bob, I have an interpretation for you and ask that you bring it to the Lord in prayer, other please discern and correct as lead:
Recurring dreams can imply that there is something going on that remains in your life, and the Lord wants to bring you through it. There is something in your life thas terrorizes you, the Lord wants to bring freedom to you from it, but somehow the enemy gets in the way and destroys your ability to experience this freedom. The Holy Spirit has been by your side the whole time and is providing protection, but the Lord wants you to be completely free from this fear... is there something in your life that reminds you of this?
If this interpretation does not bear witness then please ignore.
Blessings,
Caneman

Hello Bob, I believe that what Caneman has posted is on the right track. Maybe the gist of your dream is "
true freedom only comes from walking in the spirit". I wanted to add some symbolism to your dream and pray and see if it speaks to your heart...
Desert: Lonely, Isolation, Feelings of hopelessness
One eyed Giant: One sided challenge, Overwhelming struggle
Faceless friend: Holy Spirit
Detroying things: Chaos in your life
Into a ditch : represents pitfalls
Statue of Liberty: Personal independence, Freedom in the spirit
Bomb: Trying situation in your life that you feel helpless to handle and is about to explode if not dealt with.
The only safe place for any of us is in the will of God! He will guide us and protect us if we stay close to HIM. He wants to speak to us.
2 Timothy 1:7: "For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind."
Pray, study the Word, listen to the Holy Spirit, obey the LORD, Praise His name and give HIM all the glory. These are things that can help us overcome fear.
Galatians 5:13 - It is to freedom that you have been called, my brothers. Only be careful that freedom does not become mere opportunity for your lower nature.
Galatians 5:16-18 - Here is my (Paul's) advice. Live your whole life in the Spirit and you will not satisfy the desires of your lower nature. For the whole energy of the lower nature is set against the Spirit, while the whole power of the Spirit is contrary to the lower nature. Here is the conflict, and that is why you are not free to do what you want to do. But if you follow the leading of the Spirit, you stand clear of the Law.
"Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new'' (2 Corinthians 5:17).
2 Corinthians 5:7--"We walk by faith, not by sight."
