bluckie dream

[Pine]

Had a dream a woman in my community and I were friends. We were even holding hands like little girls would. I noticed her hands were really big like a mans hands.

Then all of a sudden she stuck her finger down my throat and it was choking me. Her finger was like a knife, sharp, but looked like a regular finger.

Then I heard my name being called by a man. I woke up thinking it was my husband but it wasn't his voice.

Very disturbing so I thought I'd ask if anyone had any clue what this meant.

When I woke some things that came to mind was my child hood. Even the mans voice took me back there.

But then I had a peace from the voice. Like I was being watched over and protected. Then I thought I should lay still and listen to God but I fell right back to sleep.

Wow - that is an obscure dream.

Do you know the woman?

I looked up finger in the dream referenence:

To see your fingers in you dream, symbolize physical and mental dexterity. They indicate manipulation, action and non-verbal communication. If you dream that your fingers fall off, then it suggests that you are letting a situation dominate you or dictate how you behave. You may be literally losing your grip on life.

Words can cut like a knife.

The dream seems to be about betrayal. Someone pretending to be your friend and then choking you with her actions and with words spoken behind your back that cut like a knife.

Since the man's voice took you back to your childhood, it is probably something old. If praying and sleeping tells me something else, I will let you know.

indicate manipulation

I do feel she was manipulating in the dream. Like she befriended me then began dragging me back to my childhood.

I do know the woman. She is the mother of a child I watch from time to time. Only I rarely see the mother as Grandma drops the child off and picks him up.

It's just weird. Perhaps no meaning or warning. Just weirdness.

I would be careful with her if I were you. If she asks you to bend any rules or to carry her on credit - I would definitely refuse. I would also be very careful about what I say in front of her and about what she or her child is allowed to see. I think that generally if a dream illicits a strong response in you, that it is trying to tell you something. She's stabbing you in the throat, which may mean she will try to use your words against you. So just be business like with her and don't accept the invitation to hold hands and chat, and I imagine that everything willl be fine.

Many times when God sends us a warning and we obey, nothing happens. There is no evidence for the unbeliever because absolutely nothing happens. I think this dream could be that way. If you don't give her the ammunition to stab you with, nothing will happen.

I had a dream about a job and we never got paid on that one. The dream was telling me not to take it.

I understand dema and it all makes a lot of since. It's just I rarely ever even see this woman. Her mother-in-law pays for her daycare when the kids come. As far as payment goes her mother-in-law pays me usually more than I charge and spoils me rotten with gifts far above what one should give on Holidays and birthdays. Even though the child has only been here 3 times in 6 months.

Thanks. Love ya sis.

I think sometimes people with damaged trust will scold themselves for not trusting. And then they will trust the wrong person. And be hurt again. And then they have more trouble trusting anyone at all.
There was an issue on here where a man acted inappropriately and the woman was all upset that she screamed. I'm glad she screamed. I don't think the guy was malicious, but he was inappropriate. Inappropriate may be almost benign - but it is still NOT OKAY.

I think that that is a common problem with people with damaged trust. They blame themselves for other people's inappropriate behavior. After all, the person wasn't being actually mean. It's not like he had a knife or something. It isn't like his intention was to hurt. He was just clumsy and inappropriate.

Particularly when a person is an overcompensator - and you definitely are - they don't tend to want to protect themselves in a normal way. Either they lock themselves up. Or they open themselves up soooo far.

Sometimes, we are to be wary and protect ourselves. Sometimes God tells us that a person isn't right for us. Sometimes God does want us to think about ourselves first - not as a habit - but because God knows it is best in a given situation.

We definitely are told to take up armor - see Ephesians 6. If this wasn't a warzone, we wouldn't need armor.

Please, be aware that you are not supposed to trust everyone. You are not to open up to everyone. You and me and everybody else needs to be careful in doing that - we need to be cautious except where given peace by God.

And in the case of this woman - God is saying to back-off. She will hurt you. Don't trust her. Don't open up to her.

There are many people to help in this world, Pine. In some cases we can be totally effective - in others, nothing we can possibly do will make a positive difference and it could hurt us greatly - or hurt those we love. We cannot help everybody.

I've been pretty strong on this one - I've felt like the threat is that you would lose months of progress if this wolf gets hold of you. It scares me for your sake. Put on some armor. Take care of you. Love you Pine.

Perhaps it's not her, but her symbol of who she is. She is a nurse. I had this dream at the beginning of an onslaught of triggers of my past. Seeking healing from past. Her being a nurse. Perhaps it was just of what was to come and what is now happening.

Love ya.

my 2-cent

It was an illusion sent by darkness to trouble you, and it was not real. The calling of your name was the only REAL thing that happened to you. The false appearance was an attempt to sow into you a false belief that would plant fear, and when your name was called it bust the bubble of the so-called "hocus-pocus" that darkness sent. it was referred in scriptures as "a terror by night."

Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day; Ps. 91:5

There is a man hand holding your hand, but it's not the enemy. There is a sword in your mouth, but not a knife down your throat. The enemy was making mockery of your position of safety in the Father and so the Father sent his voice to show you, which was real. The Father is.

consider the following:

...And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers. John 10:5

My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: John 10:27

To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out. 4 And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice. 5 And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers. John 10:3-7

be blessed and have a sweet-sleep
