On this night, I had another set of three dreams like the night before. These dreams were strange, disturbing, and just a tad bit gross. But it caused me to wonder and seek what was meant by them because it came in a set of three.
Dream 1 | Diarrhea on the floor, White Pan and the Maxi Pad
This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.
1 John 1:5
I was inside a house and it was bright with natural sunlight. I was seated on the floor. I felt something wet underneath me. It was diarrhea and it seemed like I had messed on myself. Dwain brought me a pan—it as a long thin metal sheet that resembled a baking sheet, but it was white. He put it underneath me.
I wondered why he would get me a pan. I was irritated that he did that. So then, he went and got me a maxi pad and I put it underneath me while still seated on the floor. When I went to remove the pad, it was stuck to me. It would not come off and caused more pain as I tried to remove the pieces, which were stuck to my vaginal skin (private/hidden areas). It was painful.
Biblical Foundation
Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man; but that which cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man.
Matthew 15:11
But the flesh of the bullock, and his skin, and his dung, shalt thou burn with fire without the camp: it is a sin offering.
Exodus 29:14
And one shall burn the heifer in his sight; her skin, and her flesh, and her blood, with her dung, shall he burn:
Numbers 19:5
Dream significance
Within each of us, there are things that are defiling. God desires that these things be purged from our being. As we sit in his presence in humbleness, he will begin the process of cleansing, purification, and sanctification. It will not be pretty, at times, it will be embarrassing, it can spark irritation, and we may even feel the need to cover it up ourselves in order to stop or slow the process. But if we are serious and we remain seated before God we will have no other option but to allow him to proceed with the process he has started in us. This process will cleanse from the sinful things that defile us. Our lives will truly be a living sacrifice unto the Lord.
I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.
Romans 12:1
White Pan
The Greek word for white is leukos, which means light, brilliant, or bright. It is a brilliant white a dazzling white. The pan was sturdy metal. It was not earthen in make or composition. This indicates the firmness of the process, which was taking place.
When the process first started, it was on the natural floor so it was a defiling action. Then when the pan was placed underneath, it was a spiritual purging under the supervision of God. Then it was interrupted by flesh, which cause it to become sticky, messy, and more painful (maxi pad).
This speaks to the fact that in our natural state everything in us is waste. In the hands of God, it ushers into firmness and we are seated in righteousness as we silently allow him to complete his work in us. Yet all who are in the Lord will not allow this process to proceed without interference. When we interfere in it cause the process to become longer, messy and more painful.
Dream 2 | Couple on Separate Beds
Broken bond of Love | Freeimages.com
Can two walk together, except they be agreed?
Amos 3:3
In this dream there was a couple that retired to bed. They went up the stairs together but when they got to their room, the once whole bed was divided into two pieces. The man laid on a bed, which was about 1/3 in size of the whole bed, and the woman laid on the other part of the bed, which was about 2/3 in size.
It was clear that the bed once was a whole but for some reason it had now become divided and each was comfortable on their section/portion of the bed. Both individuals slept with their head toward the south and rested underneath covers.
Biblical Foundation
For ye are yet carnal: for whereas there is among you envying, and strife, and divisions, are ye not carnal, and walk as men?
1 Corinthians 3:3
Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them.
Romans 16:17
What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.
Mark 10:9
That their hearts might be comforted, being knit together in love, and unto all riches of the full assurance of understanding, to the acknowledgement of the mystery of God, and of the Father, and of Christ;
Colossians 2:2
Dream Significance
As believers, we are knitted together in God though the bond of love. We are to refrain from allowing things to divide us for we know that we are all God’s children and possess the same spirit within us.
There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling;
Ephesians 4:4
But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit.
1 Corinthians 6:17
For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit.
1 Corinthians 12:13
There are however, those among us who while in public appear to walk together in unity and love but in secret are divided and separated. They are comfortable in this because they have covered themselves with blankets of deceit.
The fact that the couple heads both faced south tells us that they are parched, which is the root meaning for the Hebrew, word negeb. It also means south country, Nekeb, or south.
Nekeb means groove, hole, settings, or cavity. It is a socket for setting a gem. It gets its meaning because of it hollowness. This indicates that the couple were to be placements or settings for God. They were to precious adornments for God. But they were disqualified because of their condition.
She is more precious than rubies: and all the things thou canst desire are not to be compared unto her.
Proverbs 3:15
Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies.
Proverbs 31:10
Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;
Ephesians 5:25
This couple had become dried out from the heat of life and/or relationship. They were extremely thirsty in desperate need of spiritual water. There was also a disparity in how the bed was divided up. This implies that one was a larger winner than the other was.
Unfortunately, for this couple both were losers. On a natural level it appears that, the wife was the big winner for she had the larger portion of the bed but they both were in the same exact spot—parched and without a gem in their setting!
Dream 3 | Skinhead Biker Mechanic, Red Car, and Aunt Olga
Crossing Over | Freeimages.com
Speak, ye that ride on white asses, ye that sit in judgment, and walk by the way.
Judges 5:10
I was walking down a street, which appeared to be in a commercial district. There were many shops and mechanic shops up and down the street. I needed to get my car fixed. I needed a specific part for the car. The car was a red Mazda mx-3 similar to one my brother Malachi Junior had years ago.
As I was in search for a mechanic, I met a guy who looked like a skinhead biker type guy. He asked me if I would be willing to sell the car. The amount he offered was a significant amount of money because in the dream I said yes I might be interested in doing that. As we continued, we talked and reasoned together. While we were walking, my Aunt Olga was following me. I got the sense that she was worried and concerned for my welfare. She even made it to the corner of the block before we did although she remained on the opposite side of the street from us.
As I was finishing with the guy I looked across the street and saw her there she was talking to a business owner in front of his building. I could not understand why she felt she needed to follow me as I walked with the guy.
Dream significance
Michelle
The person who was looking for a mechanic was one desiring to be like God. Because of the name Michelle. This person represents those who are God’s gift to the world in a sense because they are following in the way of Christ who was God’s original gift to fallen man.
These individuals have started the process of transformation. And at periodic steps they are required to move from where they are to a higher level in the Lord. They do not always know what is in head of them but they are given the option to consent and agree with the work of God. They can at any time choose to remain at the lower level. But one who is truly desirous of being like Christ will move from glory to glory and from faith to faith.
But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.
2 Corinthians 3:18
For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.
Romans 1:17
The Skinhead/Biker Mechanic
A mechanic is one who uses tools to build or repair machinery. He is similar to Christ in that Christ was a carpenter who made and fixed furniture.
Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, the brother of James, and Joses, and of Juda, and Simon? and are not his sisters here with us? And they were offended at him.
Mark 6:3
Skinhead/biker both these groups are not part of the larger culture they are more subsets or subcultures. Likewise, with God his people are a small group among a larger group. The person here does not represent the actual group but rather a spiritual representation of one who is different from those around him. In that, he is unique and peculiar. His ways are not the ways of the world but one that is on a different level from mere men.
For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD.
Isaiah 55:8
This dream has many components and is understood when we examine the layers of it.
Malachi Junior
The name Malachi means my messenger or my angel. While the name Junior means younger. This tells us that we are in training to be God’s messengers. We are young in the ways of God but none-the-less our role is important to the work that God is doing on the earth.
Red Car
The red car is significant because it means red or ruddy according to the Hebrew word for red ‘admoniy (as found in Genesis 25:25 which is the first mention of the word red in the Bible). ‘Admoniy root meaning come from the word ‘adam which means to be red, ruddy, dyed red, or to grow red.
Therefore, the car in a sense represented the transformative process of being reddened. Although I had started on the process, I had to agree to trade what I had for something better. Although I do not know what it was, specifically I knew that it was more valuable than what I had and I was willing to consider selling all to obtain it.
Who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had, and bought it.
Matthew 13:46
And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.
John 14:3
Aunt Olga
The name Olga means Holy. The fact that she was across the street indicates that a crossing over must occur in order to acquire what God has in store for us.
Hear, O Israel: Thou art to pass over Jordan this day, to go in to possess nations greater and mightier than thyself, cities great and fenced up to heaven,
Deut. 9:1
And he took the mantle of Elijah that fell from him, and smote the waters, and said, Where is the LORD God of Elijah? and when he also had smitten the waters, they parted hither and thither: and Elisha went over.
2 Kings 2:14
And Elijah took his mantle, and wrapped it together, and smote the waters, and they were divided hither and thither, so that they two went over on dry ground.
2 Kings 2:8
And the children of Israel went into the midst of the sea upon the dry ground: and the waters were a wall unto them on their right hand, and on their left.
Exodus 14:22
From this, we see that as we exist in the Lord there is to be a steady progression to higher things. We are not to be content with were we are but we are to be willing to ascend to higher realms in the Lord. There are things that will work for us spiritually when we are on lower levels but over time, those things (teachings, strategies, knowledge) will not produce the results we desire. We will need a mechanic (revelation from the Lord). When we have this encounter with him, he will make known to us what the issue is. Can it be fixed or should it be upgraded for something better. Based on his counsel we will make a decision. What is clear is that the counsel of the Lord opens the way for us to enter into higher levels of Holiness in the Lord.
My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:
John 10:27
He shall feed his flock like a shepherd: he shall gather the lambs with his arm, and carry them in his bosom, and shall gently lead those that are with young.
Isaiah 40:11
