2.26.16
This morning I was woken by a dream that had three distinct components.

Dream 1 | The Speaker on the Bus
Listen! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and have dinner with him, and he with Me.
Revelation 3:20
A group of people was on a bus and there was a woman standing at the front. She was speaking and talking to us as a group. The bus was full but not overly crowded for each one had a seat. The woman was positioned at the head of the bus right by the door.
There was a woman seated in a seat directly in front of me. We were both on the left side of the bus facing forward (to the speakers right hand as she faced us). This woman seated in front of me got up because two of her friends decided that they were going to go out to eat. So this lady spoke to the woman at the front of the bus and said “We’ll walk together tomorrow.”
The woman at the front of the bus looked disappointed but she kept talking to the group of people. The woman in the seat in front of me grabbed her coat and went with her friends off the bus, but she exited from the back of the bus and not the front. The bus has a rear exit or side exit because they left without walking to the front.
In the dream I senses that the woman in the front of the bus represented Christ/ Holy Spirit who talks to believers—revealing, counseling, correcting, and teaching.
The woman in the seat in front of me opted out of walking / fellowshipping with the Lord in order to have fun with her friends in an earthly activity. She postponed her time with the Lord for a later date.
She wanted to satisfy her earthly appetite rather than staying and getting the good food that was being given out on the bus.
But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.
Matthew 4:4
Sense within the Dream
Then a question came to mind “How many of us tell God we will catch up with him later? How many of us do that on a regular basis?” After a while, the days tend to blend into one another and we forget that we are to have fellowship with the Lord.
I opened to my beloved; but my beloved had withdrawn himself, and was gone: my soul failed when he spake: I sought him, but I could not find him; I called him, but he gave me no answer.
Song of Solomon 5:6
Dream Significance
Back Exit
The woman seated in front of me was not lured away by her friends by the front door. The attack came in through either a side or back exit. This indicates that the devil will use subtle ploys, which are not readily evident. They may seem innocent to our natural perceptions but are quite dangers to our spiritual progression.
But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.
2 Corinthians 11:3
The devil is crafty he has used the same tactic for ages because it works.
Coat
Now Joshua was clothed with filthy garments, and stood before the angel.
Zechariah 3:3
While we remain on the course of God and in the presence of God, he will clean our garments and make us spiritually fit. But when we choose to engage in earthly things and appetites we rob ourselves in filthy garments. The woman on the bus was okay with wearing filthy garments. She took the opportunity she was given for granted. She did not recognize the value of what she had.
Friends
The righteous is more excellent than his neighbour: but the way of the wicked seduceth them.
Proverbs 12:26
As believers we need to be careful of who are friends are for they have the ability to seduce us away from the Lord. The woman on the bus was lured away from the Lord and his will for her because she wanted to be a part of the group. She wanted to indulge in fleshly appetites. When we return to former things we are like a dog retuning to its vomit or a sow wallowing in the mud.
In the which ye also walked some time, when ye lived in them. But now ye also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth. Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off the old man with his deeds;
Colossians 3:7-9
Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.
Galatians 5:1
As a dog returneth to his vomit, so a fool returneth to his folly.
Proverbs 26:11
But it is happened unto them according to the true proverb, The dog is turned to his own vomit again; and the sow that was washed to her wallowing in the mire.
2 Peter 2:22
Walking with the Lord
From the beginning, God desires that we walk with him. It is a daily fellowship.
That which we have seen and heard declare we unto you, that ye also may have fellowship with us: and truly our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ.
1 John 1:3
These are the records of the generations of Noah. Noah was a righteous man, blameless in his time; Noah walked with God.
Genesis 6:9
Then Enoch walked with God three hundred years after he became the father of Methuselah, and he had other sons and daughters. So all the days of Enoch were three hundred and sixty-five years. Enoch walked with God; and he was not, for God took him.
Genesis 5:22-24
Often life and responsibilities interrupt this precious time with him. But there is also something else that robs us of sweet communion with God. Our old nature. The enemy knows how to place people in our path in order to lure us away from the fold of God. We are to be vigilant, watchful and careful so we are not wooed away from the Lord.
Dream 2 | The Baby on the Floor
Baby on Chair | Freeimages.com
I was in a house with a woman who looked like Stacia. She had a baby and she wanted me to watch the baby. She put the baby on a chair and not in my hands. The baby was not secured so it ended up falling onto the floor. I snatched the baby up and was relieved that the baby was not injured.
It seemed as if the baby rolled with the fall. I thought it odd that the mother was not more careful with something that was so precious and fragile.
Sense within the Dream
The thought that came to mind is “How many times has something been entrusted into our care by the Lord and we don’t see the value of it? How it needs to be nurtured and cared for so we are careless with it.”
Because we do not get this we haphazardly put it down without making sure that it is secure, protected, or that we look out for it to ensure it’s able to develop properly or that it is not snatched away by someone else.
That is what happened the woman put down the baby, which ended up on the floor; therefore, I took up the baby securing it. I did not give the baby back to the woman in the dream. I kept it in safety and started to care for it.
It is like how sometimes a gift is given to us and we don’t realize the value of it so we are careless with it and then someone is able to come up and seize it because they recognize the value of what we’ve discarded. Therefore, that person is able to nourish and nurture it, as it ought to be cared for.
Dream Significance
Stacia Resurrection and Fruitfulness
This dream is interesting because it lets us know that we are called to resurrection life. We are called to a life of fruitfulness in the Lord Jesus. This is demonstrated through the name Stacia that means resurrection or fruitful. The woman in the dream started out with promise for she was in the house of the Lord, which is represented by the fact we were in a house.
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
John 3:16
Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures.
James 1:18
And the LORD hath avouched thee this day to be his peculiar people, as he hath promised thee, and that thou shouldest keep all his commandments;
Deut. 26:18
House of the Lord
It is evident that she wanted to be there and felt comfortable in the Lords house. She knew where the chair was and was not concerned about anything within the dream.
A Davidic song of ascents. I rejoiced with those who said to me,” Let us go to the house of the LORD.”
Psalm 122:1
One thing have I desired of the LORD, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the LORD, and to inquire in his temple.
Psalms 27:4
Baby Gift from God
Stacia was given a gift from the Lord which was represented by the baby she held in her hands. For whatever reason she decided to lay it down on the chair. This action symbolizes how sometimes believers are content to be in the house of God but do not want the responsibility of operating in the things of God. Preferring to stay within our comfort zone and not progress to higher levels or to shoulder more responsibility.
Behold, children are a gift of the LORD, The fruit of the womb is a reward.
Psalm 127:3
The scripture that came to mind was the one of the talents. Some believers will invest all given to them while others will not. Those who refuse to utilize what has been entrusted to them will miss a glorious opportunity.
As children of God, we are called to fruitfulness. We are to birth, nurture, grow, and cause others to grow. What is revealed her is that if we refuse to use the gifts entrusted to us they will not go to waste someone will seize the opportunity and will treasure what God has provided and count it an honor to do so.
Dream 3 | The Shopping Trip
Shopping trip | Freeimages.com
I was in a store going shopping for something. And a lot of my relatives were there including Aunt Olga and my cousin Carol. And my aunt kept looking at me. It appeared that she had an expectation that I would stop and talk to her or make amends or reach out to her in some way. She continued to stare at me. But I did not say anything to her.
At one point, I raised my eyebrows to her and tilted my head toward her and she did the same back to me. She seemed to take that as a sign of encouragement—that all was well or would be well. I was not sure what she was looking for me to do. Whatever it was I did not do it.
Sense in the Dream
Felt the pull of another’s expectations Olga when but I was not ready to do what is being asked of me. Although I knew that something was needed I was not ready to commit and go all in. There was pressure there but it was not oppressive but gentle. It was like a nudge.
It was as if she was looking into me. With the expectation that I would do or respond as she desired but all without words but with a deeper understanding which came from within myself. They were not intrusive or overbearing but they were watching and observing what I was doing, what I picked up, what line I went on, and how I conducted myself.
Dream Significance
Olga
The name Olga means Holy. This I believe is representative of Holy Spirit who is with us as our helper and guide as we travel the path of truth in Christ Jesus.
But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.
John 14:26
But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him.
1 John 2:27
Carol
The name Carol means Champion, manly, and strong. I believe that she represented Christ for he is the Champion of God. He wrestled with the Devil and won. Because of his victory, we are victorious.
But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
1 Corinthians 15:57
What I understand from this dream is that Holy Spirit is present with us he witnesses all that we do. He gently nudges us in the direct we should go but he does not force us. If we take the proper position or steps, we will be fashioned as champions after the likeness of Christ. However, the process is subject to our will.
The Lord is not slow about His promise, as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing for any to perish but for all to come to repentance.
2 Peter 3:9
Or do you think lightly of the riches of His kindness and tolerance and patience, not knowing that the kindness of God leads you to repentance?
Romans 2:4
God is patient with us as we go through the transformation process of God. Although in the dream I did not do what was desired of me yet, there was hope for I acknowledge Olga (Holy Spirit) with a raised eyebrow, which showed that I was paying attention and a tilted head, which was showed acceptance and possibly consent.
