I can't shake this one

[Tam]

I had a series of dreams last night that I do not understand. In one I took my kids swimming to a place that I went as a child and swam at. It was a private club that had a huge pool. The life guard was the same life guard as when I was a kid except this time we were very good friends. I parked my car with a group of other cars. after about 3 hours, I told the kids it was time to leave. Kathy-the lifeguard/friend-asked me to wait saying we neede to check the ph and the chlorine in the pool. Well we did this and the ph was low but we could not decide what to add. So we added more chlorine (which is totally wrong) and left.

I went ahead of the kids as they were still drying off to look for the car to war it up since it was freezing out. I could not find the car anywhere. Started clicking my door lock button to make the horn beep and still could not find the carn. The horn would beep on different cars everytime I pushed the button. Kids came out to where the car was parked and it was not there. Son said he would try to help me find it. Well he finally seen the side of a car that looked like mine so we went and all looked and it was only part of my car. Someone had totally stole the whole rear panel, the front panel, the engine and the tiires. So we were totally stranded. Kathy offered to take us home after the police came to look at the evidence of what was left of my car. They just shook their heads. Well Kathey took us home and mom brought me back to look around the car and there were 2 name tags lying on the ground around the car so I picked those up and called the cops with them. There was an old car show going on in the parking lot and I went and looked at every car seeing if I could find any of iparts to my car. (my car is not old)
We never found out who stripped my car clean.

Mom and I went to what was suppose to be home. And mom and the kids disappeared. I looked around and realized that I was at my dead grandmothers house and a friend from Oasis was there with me. My grandmother was making there also. Well this friend spent the night with me and we were getting up for church the next morning. She got up and got all dressed and was just laughing at me cuz all os a sudden none of my shirts fit me anymore they were way to little. I went into the bathroom to wash my hair and this friend came in there with me to bruch her teeth. In the mean time my grandmother was starting to prepare breakfast and my friend told her that we were not going to be able to eat because we had to go to walmart and get me a shirt to wear to church. I had my jeans on as I didn't have any slacks at my grandmothers house. This was about 8:30 in the morning. As soon as I finished washing my hair it was 10:30! time just wooshed by. Well we decided that we could not go to wallmart because we were already late for church so I just put on a t-shirt that fit and went out to go to church. When we waled out my grandmothers house....my car was out there in one piece. Nothing was missing on it We got in it to go to church and when I cranked the car, we just disappeared. Then I woke up very unsettled to say the least. Looked outside and my car is there in one piece and my family is in bed sleeping and the friend I assume is at her home with her family. I just can't shake this unsettled feeling. Does any of this make sense?

I dont' know why I read peoples' dreams because I cannot interpert... bought a book once but when I went to a study, my interpertation was totally wrong. sorry but the little shirt gave me a giggle

You're growing beautifully. The clothes from the past don't fit you anymore. You're got your new garments on.

See how everything seemed to go wrong in your dream. Yet the dream ended with things fiting and working out well.

Isn't that like your life now. Everything seemed to be going wrong all the time. But now Gods doing a new thing. And things are getting better. And you are fitting well into the services He has prepared for you. By the way what color were the clothes?

I'm not saying there's a message in this dream or that what I shared is the message but it sure does seem to fit and after prayer I feel ok to share.

Pine is right on. Tam, you need to go back through that dream and write down any other details you remember. Colors, smells, amount of light, feelings.

A huge part of dream interpretation is what certain symbols mean to you. A dog can be a best friend to one person and a childhood fear to another, for example. So, in order to effectively interpret the dream, the interpreter would need to sit with you for half an hour or so asking questions.

Pine picked up on the main image that repeats in this dream. You are moving on. Expect change.

Also, it sounds like you are going to have a period of involvement in the past before you move on. Enjoy your period of total enjoyment with family and then there will be change. Now, that is the main interpretation of the dream as I see it with my limited knowledge.

Your spirit will confirm or deny things that I say. Listen to your spirit. If I say nothing, you have nothing to confirm or deny.

Start with the swimming - water to the general public means emotions or life. It is the basic thing that we cannot exist without. We swim in the womb. As a Christian it has even more meanings of life.

You went back to a place in your past with your children and introduced them to a place that symbolizes one or more of life, emotions, connections, being buoyed up.... and you were friends with this part of your past in a way you hadn't been before. But as you left this place of warm and friendly enjoyment - in trying to preserve it for future visits or visitors, you accidentally poisoned it with the chlorine. So you cannot go back again anytime soon.

When you left this place it was cold and snowy. You need to fill in what that made you feel and makes you feel. Cold has some obvious unfriendly and unwelcoming meanings.

But you couldn't get either yourself or your children out of the cold because your method of travel had been taken apart piece by piece. But part of it was left. You took time trying to find the old method of travel but were unsuccessful. You were looking in an unlikely place among old methods of travel. You tried to get the authorities to help you in restoring your old method of travel, but even though you had name tags, they could not do it.

There is an obvious tone here - but there is a lot missing in how you felt and whether you were scared or angry at the car show. Were you still cold? Where were your children? Did anybody try to offer to sell or give you other transportation?

If I had this dream, I would schedule a trip with my children to see any places or people that I wanted them to ever see. I would tell any people in my life from my past how much I love them - write them letters about how much they mean to me. I would consider that this could mean recent past and would do any of the warm and fuzzies that I had been promising myself to do.

One possible resulting scenario would be that you would be given the opportunity for an amazing job that would keep you too busy to be able to do these things. Another would be that your children will suddenly be so involved in their friends and school that they won't have time to do these things. Tam, I don't know your family situation so this is a very loose interpretation.

When I read the second dream - it echoes the first.

But it seems to indicate the second possibility.

You are with your grandmother. Your mother and children are gone.

Tam, this is likely a dream voicing your own fears and not a divine dream. I think it is a dream of your fears of an empty nest. Of your fear of becoming older and not having the roll of mother anymore. You are exhanging the roll of mother for the roll of grandmother and time is going so fast that you don't have time for breakfast or going to the store. You are afraid of getting fat and having clothes not fit - and maybe of wearing grandmother shirts. And you don't want your mother to disappear (which happens as you get older) or your children to disappear as they leave the nest.

Your life is changing and you don't like it. It feels cold and wintery to you. Your old ways have been stolen from you and you are looking among the older things instead of finding something new.

Tam, I am a grandmother and I absolutely love it. I started a new career after my children left the nest and I spend time with them regularly. I do think that you should plan some really wonderful vacations while you have the chance and bring out the photo albums and memorabilia and share with them while they will listen.

Tam - I don't even know if your children are 3 or 15 - does this fit?

[Pine]

I keep thinking of how your children swam in a pool that wasn't fit for swimming in. How were they effected? I'm thinking everything turned out ok hu?

[ServeGod]

Don't hold on to possessions. For like clothes we grow out of them. possessions are not important, and letting go of earthly possessions is cleansing (adding more chloride in water). God will provide with what you need, and will restore all things. (car back to rightful state ). Your true treasure is your children.

hears my added 2-cents with those who have done so well to share and offer help.

Your dream starts out with you and your kids enjoying the pool, a very big pool, which points to a large supply of goods. A pool as in a sort of tank, or huge collection of provisions. For lack of a better word I will say that the pool in your dream is like a jackpot of sources available to you and your kids. You have it easy according to most folks now-a-days.

Suddenly when you tell your kids that it’s time to leave, this shows you are coming into the awareness of things bountiful to you and your kids will end soon. Maybe just for a season, but you see an end to the comforts you, and your kids have enjoyed so far in the dream. You know this even when you are awake. You can see change…big change coming. Anyways back to your dream;

You leave out to go but can’t locate your car. Each time you hit the button it sounds to a different car that’s not yours. this points to that fact that the change in your life will come so fast that from one moment to the next you’ll feel like life is passing you by. Car after car…but the cars are not yours. you hit the button and still you CAN’T TRANSMIT.

Finally you find your vehicle, and you find that it has been striped. Your form of transportation, your form of communication and transmission is removed. You and your kids are no longer able to be carried around with the ease of rolling about from place to place. The power to move swiftly is removed. It will now take more will, strength, more physical efforts to go from one place to another. More work, less ease.

You arrive at a loved-ones home you say has past on. You sleep there for the night and get up to prepare for church. First let me say that being in the house of your grandmother who has past on and preparing to go to church from there points to your family tree, your lineage, and how your faith is connected to your ancestry line in a very strong way. You are going to have to deeply reconnect to the core of your faith.

The presence of a friend shows that there will be someone near you from time to time who will not understand your situation completely but will see your lack. Some help from this person, or other person from time to time may be offered, but will not come to play as you never made it to walmart.

You try to prepare for church but your shirt is a reflection of what you are experiencing. What are you experiencing? The same thing you find with your car. Your form of comfort is over. You are, well, exposed. Exposed as in totally scaled back. The car is there….but it’s not enough. You are wanting in a covering for your life. the car is peeled, it’s left without, empty if you will. You suffer being very deprived, removed and dismantled.

It took you two hours to wash your hair. Darling, two hours? Your hair is your covering and you’re struggling to get it right. Your hair is your glory and it’s taking you to hours to get it right before going to church? You are in this dream going to undergo sometime soon in your life a form of downsizing and you will not feel as secure by the things that have made your life comfortable. You are gonna need your roots, old roots in the faith to get you through where you are about to go. this experience actually helps your children grow-up in area's where they can most benefit in their own lives. they mature/are grown in your dream at some point if I'm correct.

anyways, your life is going to shift….and you know this. It’s shown in your dream that you know it’s time to be pruned and you will go through this with your children. I encourage you to keep to your faith. Dig your heels in deep as the pages of your life are being turned.

Time for the next shift. Just remember you cannot know your highest level of living if you cannot go the way that you must. Do not fail to teach your kids along the way. also your ministry is in the making and grace is abundant for you.

While things are easy, or somewhat good at this time…be thankful. Rest while you can and by all means keep the vision. What vision? The light before you and the truth that “This to shall pass.” Remember you do see your car again when you leave out of your grandmother’s house on your way to church. When you’ll got in the car you guys just disappeared right? This shows that you gain again everything you lost, BUT only because you remained connected to your faith and a prayer line that runs from ages back, and on up until even now. there are prayers long sent up for you that will not go unanswered.

You guys disappear at the end because what is beyond that is not for you to see at this time. So yes, you will suffer loss, but you will regain again. ok? Good. ....walk with the angels and keep close to prayer

blessings be your bread always
