Strange Dreams I didn't sleep well last night. My slumber was filled with very strange dreams. And now this morning I am trying to shake the recollections of bits and pieces of them from my brain. In one dream, I was at my parents property and they had this big muddy sump on it. A car was even down in there somehow. In my dream it was my parent's property but they have never owned property like this in real life. But back to my strange dream. Two men showed up and asked where my father was. I brought them around this large shed like structure to where he was when one of them grabbed me from behind. He didn't have a very tight hold on me but he was holding my arms in front of me. I didn't see the other man or my dad but I could hear some sort of struggle behind me. I stayed relaxed until I felt like the guy thought I wasn't going to struggle. Then suddenly I raised my arms up and poked him in both eyes with my long thumbnails. It was like a fork going into a grape and I ruptured them. He dropped. The next thing I remember is having a shotgun in my hand and placing it to the temple of the guy on top of my dad. I cocked it and said I had no problem blowing away the watermellon on his shoulders. He got up and ran away. My dad got up and didn't have a scratch on him. I don't know what happened to the other guy. The next thing I remember and this may be a separate dream is that I was driving and saw this family on the side of the road. They reminded me of something out of the Grapes of Wrath. They had ran out of gas. I drove the dad to a gas station. A was next to the pumps and said he would pump my gas as I went into the little store. I bought bread, cheese and lunchmeat for the family along with a couple of packs of smokes for the dad. When I returned outside, the said I owed them $89 for gas and another $10 for the gas in the man's gas can. I argued with the that there is no way my Aveo would even hold $89 bucks for gas even with the sky high prices. The vehicle only has a 10 gallon tank and I wasn't even near empty. Then I woke up... extremely puzzled and exhausted. I have no idea if these dreams have a meaning or not. Perhaps I just shouldn't have eaten that cheese crisp for late dinner last night. I watched the Olympics last night so they were not derivative of any movie. But they were weird dreams and I still feel so unsettled this morning. I hate it when that happens. Have a good Monday y'all and God bless ya! |

I don't know what any of that means, but it sounds like you could have used the shotgun when you were at the gas station. That kid was a thief.

I think that those dreams that stay with you the way these ones did are ones to pray through and ask the LORD what they were trying to show us. Often they may just be strong emotions coming out during sleep that we've not fully allowed ourselves to feel or to admit when we are awake. I tend to do lotsa journalling to get to the root of the emotions (writing my own Psalm if you will)... Susan's analysis sounds plausible...but you are the one who will know if it resonates or not... Praying for you still ...email me to let me know whats up with 'stuff' k??

Hmmm, I didn't consider that. Of course, I hadn't eaten any either. So, if so, those are some powerful crackers for just a buck! LOL

Hey Rhonda! Yeah these dreams were nothing like night terrors. I have been there, done that, bought the t-shirt. God healed me of those when I went through restoration. This was just one or two as I am not sure if it was the same dream or different dreams that just left me feeling like "Huh?". Last night, I was too tired to dream or too tired to remember any. It was one of those "I survived another Monday dealing with complete idiots" kinda day. God certainly gave me strength when I needed it and He kept me upbeat with a sense of humor which is definitely a plus when dealing with clowns. God bless you Rhonda!

Perhaps that is it, my asleep mind was just more scrambled than a breakfast at Dennys!

I can't imagine that the dreams were the result of bottled up emotions being that I tend to keep the tissue companies in business when I am overly stressed. I appreciate your prayers greatly!! Hopefully today will be a less stressful day at work... Wooo Hooo Tuesday!! Mondays are always a pain in the wazoo just by shear volume of my work on Mondays. I'll give you an update tonight if I am still awake when I get home!

Hmmmmmmm...So in your waking hours Tissues worked as effectively as thumb nails and guns, huh? From what company do you buy YOUR tissues!?? I try to get those tissues with the Aloe in them so my face isn't raw 24-7.
