Hello!

I believe this dream is connected to the one I had the other day. the one thing that kind of stood out was I felt a sense of urgency.

I was driving in the car - I don't know what the destination was supposed to be - but I was going to get more fuel for the car - we're down to 8kms of fuel left ( our car tells us these things) and I'm really quite snotty about it because hubby had been toting the older children here there and everywhere and hadn't put more fuel in the car. It's Easter time - and we need the fuel. I'm not sure if I was seing signs or listening to the radio - but I kept getting told to go here and pay X amount for fuel, or - go there and pay this much. I'm getting very annoyed with the whole thing and I say NO! I turn the car around and as I do so, I pass a lady ( whom I do not know very well at all) who goes to my church (I think she's pakistani) and who is actually getting baptised on Sunday (along with her husband - their daughter was baptised a short while ago) - Christmas Eve - how fabulous. I think I've maybe spoken to her twice! We stop and I wind down the window - She asks where I'm going and I tell her about the fuel problem. I then state quite clearly, "No-one is going to tell me how much to pay for fuel, so I'm going where I usually go.". She says that most of the fuel is gone now, so I may as well fill up anywhere I can. And I won't get it cheaper anywhere else. I said to her - that's because it's Easter time and holiday time and they always put the prices up at these times - I'm going to go and get my fuel from my regular place ( I get pernickety about swapping fuel stations - I had a blocked carburettor jet once on boxing day - I'd picked up dirty fuel from a station I'd never used before - so I don't like swapping and changing where I fill up the car).

I know as I'm driving I cross a bridge - I also have to do a U-turn - it's like I'm running out of time - I also get the impression of a swollen river.

It turns out I was driving to St Johns Hospital ( one of the private hospitals here)...to get a CT-scan. I enter an old building ( nothing like the hospital in reality), and find where I need to go....2nd floor. I head towards the bank of elevators and see anther woman from church ( she's on the leadership) holding her xrays - hading to the same place. There's also a 'worker pushing a trollye full of files and another dude. I''ve managed to pick up a supermarket trolley from somewhere filled with milk! The corridors are very modern and echoey and the floors polished - we've gone from old to new....or at least - the facade on the building was old but inside, it was new - I'm not sure. I'm runnning along with this trolley to get to the elevators and Jeanetta - the lady from church says something to the effect that she or we have to hurry because time's running out.....and something to do with the flooding's about to start. We get in the elevator go up to the 2nd floor - and the elevator opens onto a huge lobby - all very modern and governmental looking with brown polished granite pillars and grey shiney floors etc. I make my way to the area I need in the dream - Jeanetta goes to a different seciont. I'm also aware that it's important to get the CT scan done before the flood hits.

So endeth the dream.

I then sit up and write this down while bubby is drinking his bottle. I finsh, lay down and shut my eyes and got a sense of urgency and saw this woman with long blonde hair - big pretty toothy smile holding a long, shallow, rectangular box - OR it was the lid of a box - out of or into a trolley. She turned with the box in her arms - a slow graceful movement that was almost ritualistic. She wore a long red sweeping, flowing red gown. I also got the name DEAN THOMPSON - I"m not sure if the dude in the other dream whose name I thought was ALLAN THOMPSON - was really Dean - it was really really familiar and I wasn't totally sure if the guy in the other dream was Allan or not. The other thing was - I did NOT like this woman. She kind of reminded me of my hubby's ex - overtly ( I felt) sensual and her hair was more golden blonde than bleached. And she didn't seem to look facially like the ex. She was very aware and sure of what she was doing. As I'm typing this I keep thinking 'Babylon' - but I think that's coming from a 'vision/sermon' my hubby got on her and wrote down about 5 or 6 years ago.

So - although I can see some symbolism in the whole thing that doesn't need explanation ( the Gospel of St John, the flood of the holy spirit, I'm going to go and doo me symbol searching now to see what I come up with. I'd like to get peoples thoughts on the whole thing.

The symbol's I've picked up:
To dream that you are seeing the doctor, may signal your need for emotional and spiritual healing.

Brain Alternatively, it may imply that your ideas are not receiving enough attention and validation. You are concerned that your knowledge and teachings are not be transmitted clearly

To see a box in your dream, signifies your instinctual nature and destructive impulses. Alternatively, you may be trying to preserve and protect some aspect of yourself. The box may also symbolize your limitations and restrictions

Cars - Common symbol of the self, the “the direction we are headed in our lives.”

Red is an indication of raw energy, force, vigor, intense passion, aggression, power, courage and passion. The color red has deep emotional and spiritual connotations.

Red is also the color of danger, shame, sexual impulses and urges. Perhaps you need to stop and think about your actions

Cloak
To dream that you are wearing a cloak, signifies the need for security, warmth and the feeling of being well protected. It may also mean that you are trying to cover-up or hide something.

If see a torn or ragged cloak in your dream, signifies a separation between you and a friend or lover.

Woman
To see a woman in your dream, represents nurturance, passivity, caring nature, and love. It refers to your own female aspects or may also represent your mother. Alternatively, it may indicate temptation and guilt. If you know the woman, then it may symbolize the concerns and feelings you have about her.
Bridges take us from one location to another, usually across an (emotional) body of water. If you dream of bridges, you may be in transition in your life. Do you successfully cross the bridge? Bridges that are very high above the ground suggest “lofty” career goals and major arenas of transition—crossing to new heights. Bridges also can symbolize the transition between life and death.

Symbol of rising emotions. If a flood blocks your path while walking or driving a car, an “emotional hurdle” is indicated, that you must cross to reach your goal

To see milk in your dream, symbolizes maternal instincts and motherly love. It also denotes human kindness, wholesomeness, and compassion for new acquaintances.

o see a hospital in your dream, symbolizes your need to heal or improve your physical or mental heath. You need to get back to the flow of everyday life.

Thus to dream that you run out of gas, suggests that you are wearing yourself out. Take a time out.

Elevator
To dream that you are ascending in an elevator, signifies that you will quickly rise to status and wealth. You may have risen to a higher level of consciousness and are looking at the world from an elevated viewpoint.
To see people you know in your dream, signifies qualities and feelings of those people that you desire for yourself.
To see people you don't know in your dream, denotes hidden aspects of yourself that you need to confront.


But I think it is more simple than that.

What I think it may be is to do with God sending a holy spirit flood to us - the church. The lady I saw from church who's being baptised - it's like a symbol of 'new beginnings' she's about to die to the world and be born again in the spirit. The lady from church with the xrays - she's already been there.....we - she and I have already done the dying -we're now healing....living our new lives after a dreastic change. The milk - I kind of thought might be like Canaan - God's land of milk and honey - or a form of FOOD from GOd - St John's Gospel!....In the Gospel of John we find an eyewitness account of Jesus' ministry. He was Jesus' most beloved disciple....and in that - each of us in the dream - are most beloved by Jesus, by God. There will be a spiritual flooding through us - stick to what we know to be true - John's gospel[i] - don't go to alternative sources for our needs because the Lord's word is already written there. Maybe the woman inthe red cloak symbolises the danger the world hides and the 'hiddenness' of the world. Although God sees all - we as people don't and people wear costumes every day of their lives, not letting others see their real identity - much like satan does.

So - in a nutshell - stick to the bible, stick with God. A time is coming when we will need HIm more than we think.

Maybe I should pray for a blessing for the couple who are getting baptised - words I mean- like a prayer. They're getting a great blessing just by being baptised.

Oh - I also meant to add - the relevance of the xrays and ct scan......"you have been weighed and measured and found........

Maybe the first dream suggests I am still 'wanting' in areas of my christian life. I'm now going back for another 'go' at the scan...to see how I measure up?

We're all being measured now in preparation.

I believe - there is a huge blessing to come, whether it's for us - or for everyone I'm not sure. But my feeling is, the Spirit is beginning to move in a huge way, and there is a Blessing coming.

Hey you!

You are doing it! Praise the Lord! Hugh it is, too............................

blessings,
signet

I have been speaking to my bridesmaid today - and told her about the two dreams - just in short - and what I t hink they mean and my feelings on 'something' about to happen and she too has had a feeling of - waiting, anticipation, urgency - almost like everything is now building up and up and up - waiting for that moment when it will all be released. She also thinks there's a Blessing to be had this christmas which is unlike anything that has come before (okay - not including the birth and death and resurrection etc - we're talking recent times). that when it happens it will be awesome. She said she prayed to God to show her her misson - what she's supposed to be doing in life etc. She got an image of her pregnant with her fiance's child and being a housewife and she also gets the impression she will be attending the local bible college ( Tabor) full time next year. She can't see how it will happen - she's been working hard to pay off all the debts they have so that they can get married next year with no debt - then they can get down to the business of having babies. She's also never imagined herself pregnant at all, and certainly not giving up work completely. So - with both of us in agreeance that something's going to happen soon....as well as many on the forum....it will be wonderful when it does.

Oh oh - and I forgot something else I told my bridesmaid - I suggested that the woman in the red cloak was 'mystery babylon' - because she was holding a box - in it we knew not what - a mystery. I realise I was puhing it somewhat - but in the days of the bible - OT & NT - the 'whores' or streetwalkers wore......red. Red veil, red clothing etc etc. They wore the color of their occupation ( that is my understanding).

OH GOD YOU ARE TOTALLY COOL!

If my friends ever had any doubt that these dreams didn't come from God - TODAY is my proof!

The two women in my dream - the ones from church - one being baptised, the other with the xrays - she is being weighed and measured....it turns out that the second woman was the counsellor or guide - whatever you wish to call her - to the woman getting baptised! How amazing is that! I had no idea. So when I approached Jeanetta to tell her I had a dream and I had a message for her - and that I had one for Vindiya or however you spell the name ( formerly a buddist) she - when I told her after the service I had no idea of ther guidance for Vindi - was already open to whatever I had to say - because firstly - I'd spoken to Vindi only once and had to ask another friend which was the mother and which was the daughter and which was the father.....and Jeanetta knew that for me to have a dream with both of them in it - whether i knew about their connection or not - it must be important.

THEN....then then then then then......during one of the songs we sang - I thought I was going to cry with joy - I felt all bubbly.....I couldn't stop smiling - haven't felt that at that church like that before. It was awesome - I nicked off to the bathroom to 'control' myself. I then came out and found a bit of paper and I drew a bucket that was sitting under a tap which was turned on. The bucket was full.....ready to over flow - and the first drop had just spilled over the side.

WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW!
