Dog went Over the Ledge

Dear Marsha,

I’m a 40+ woman with the following dream. I don’t know why I’m dreaming about this dog. I used to have a little black dog years ago, but not now.  Can you give me some insight? It was so real.

 

I was on a concrete bridge pushing a baby stroller. In the stroller was a little black dog. The dog jumped out of the stroller and up on top of the ledge. Then it went over the ledge.  I cried, “Nooooooo!”

 

I woke up.  Thanks for your help.

Dear S.J.

Dogs in a dream can mean many things, but I believe because you used to have a little black dog as a pet, the dog in this dream is probably representing a “pet” issue or project. Probably one that you are trying to push through.  Let’s look at the symbols more closely.

Concrete = man-made path, (a path that is being followed by human effort – as opposed to                                       God’s direction)

Bridge = a time of transition

Baby = a new work, a new project, or a new beginning

Stroller = a vehicle in which to operate or push the work/project forward

Little black dog = a “pet” issue or “pet” project

Ledge = a place of plummeting or going down

 

With the symbol meanings, this dream might be saying:

You are on a path, or direction, of your own choosing (you want to do) regarding some kind of situation/work/project. You are in a time of transition while tending to, and trying to push forward this new work (project). This is a “pet” project (one that’s caught your interest). Suddenly, the project goes awry and goes down.  You are upset about the loss.

 

This might be a work situation, a personal situation, or ministry situation that you are involved in, but it appears it will not work out in the long run.  It also appears that this isn’t necessarily a God-directed activity but more something you are wanting to do (man-made path).  Unfortunately, it won’t last.  This may be speaking of something you have already been involved in, or something you are involved in now, or in the future.

 

I feel strongly the Lord gave you this dream because He is wanting to love on you about this.  He’s wanting you to know the reason this didn’t work, isn’t because of anything you’ve done wrong, but more because this is NOT something He wants you to do.  He has something else better in store for you.

God Reminding Me I can Fly

 

July 25, 2016:  Here are my old dreams of October 22, 2014 (please help I know these two dreams mean something for my life)

 

Good morning Marsha,

I trust that your day is going well!!

I was referred to you by Graham Cooke’s Ministry!

I dream a lot and I have been asking Holy Spirit what do my dreams mean? I also told him that I was open to Him sending someone into my life who can help me.. This particular dream won’t leave me I have been constantly asking God for the interpretation. I am trusting that He has finally led me to you to give me the interpretation. Help please… 
C.S.

On October 22, 2014,

I had Two dreams back to back.. They were very vivid… Here is the first one:

1st Dream

The first dream was extremely demonic. Everything in the dream was demonic. I was running into so much demonic activity on ever hand..

In the whole dream I had soooo many demons coming after me, but each time in the dream God kept reminding me that I could fly. Every time that thought came to my mind I just started to fly. In the dream God kept constantly reminding me that I could fly. Every time that I was reminded of that, I flew and soar so high above the demons.. It was like I was so high above them that at one point getting close to the end of the dream I remembered  turning a corner and I saw all of this beautiful water, trees  and sand.

 

I was thinking finally something beautiful but when I got to that part, I remembered seeing all of these people. It was not a lot of people but it was a fairly good amount of people. Then I realized that all of them were demons too. They all start turning into demons and coming after me.

 

God once more reminded me that I could fly.  I began to fly far above them but then it looked like a close friend of mine name JOSIE was with me but she was still on the ground. I was thinking to myself she needs to fly, she needs to fly!! I wasn’t sure if she could fly but I heard a voice say help her!! So I reached down and grabbed her. I wasn’t sure that if I reached down and grabbed her, if I would fall down from the sky. But when I reached down and grabbed her I pulled her up to where I was. The demons could not get to her.  Initially they were so close to getting her but I was able to pull her up in time with me. I was soooo high up in the air. So at this point we were flying above and it was so peaceful in the sky where we were.

 

All of a sudden we saw a house and ran into a man. He looked like some famous actor.  Once we arrived in His house everything seem to be normal. We thought this was a house of safety. Everything really really seemed to be normal. We then got into his car and he took us somewhere. It almost seemed like it was the grand finale. When I arrived at this new place again everyone seemed normal and then I saw this little baby. It looked like  this baby was supposed to be me when I was a little girl. I was looking at the baby and thinking to myself, is that supposed to be me when I was a little girl?? When I looked at her closely I said NO that’s not me. She looked like a little chucky doll but in girl form. She had on baby girl clothing but when I kept looking at her she looked more like a chucky doll in a girl form. The baby was being used as a distraction.

 

When I stood up I was standing on the ground and all I could see was that I was surrounded by a whole lot of demons again. I was thinking oh my God this is the grand finale and it was like the demons were saying we got you! All of a sudden I was reminded again that you can fly. I went straight up into the air just like Jesus did when he left the disciples. When I flew straight up in the sky, they were coming after me. I didn’t fly up as high as I did before so they were still on the same level that I was on.
I noticed that the man (the actor) that took me to this place begin to come after me so strong. He was trying to use Jesus Name. He was trying to fool me but I could see all of this demonic activity. He was trying to make me think that he was on my side by saying Jesus Name. On the inside of me I was saying you can’t say Jesus Name!! I then said to him, You can’t say Jesus name and as soon as I said that he turned into a demon. Then I was reminded again FLY. I flew up really high and was able to get away from all of the demons! Throughout the whole dream I was flying getting away from demons.. God just kept reminding me that I could fly. I flew so high and soared way above them and then I woke up!

 

Hi C.S. 

Marsha here.  You sent me two wonderful dreams.  I’m going to break them down separately and respond to both, but only the first one today.  The first dream I will title:  God Reminding Me I can Fly. 

Let’s do this the long way this time to give readers an opportunity to see the different ways to interpret. There are 3 wonderful methods to use to obtain the interpretation. 

 

Method 1.Look at “First Couple of Sentences” and look at “Last Couple of Sentences.”  This will often tell the essence of the dream.

 

Method 2.Find the Focus, Sub Focus, and Details.  Remember the Focus and Sub-focus tells the essence of the dream and the details give clarity.

 

Method 3.Substitute the symbolic meanings in the dream and put it together.

 

But before we go for the actual interpretation, TWO things need to happen.

 

1.       Pray to the Lord for HIS interpretation and to speak to you.

2.       Look at the symbols throughout the dream and see what they might mean.

Okay, I’ve prayed. Have you?  Now, let’s look at what some of the symbols might mean. My book, Dream Symbols and Beyond will help you with this.

 

Symbols:

Fly = high spiritual activity God is calling you to (Is 60:8, 40:31, Zec 5:1-2)
Demons coming after me = feel harassed and/or threatened
Josie = friends in your inner circle
Helping her to “fly” = helping friends in your inner circle come into high spiritual activity of God
Famous = well known to the masses of people
Actor = a “poser,” a false persona, not real
Seems to be normal = appears to be good
Baby = new beginning, new work
Was supposed to be me = trying to be put upon the dreamer
No, not me = this is not who God made you to be
Chucky doll = false and full of evil intent
Distraction = to keep from doing/being who God made you to be
Stood up = able to stand firm

Okay, for learning purposes, let’s start trying out the 3 different methods to interpret.

Method 1. Look at “First Couple of Sentences” and look at “Last Couple of Sentences.”  This will often tell the essence of the dream. 

 

                The first couple of sentences say: I am running into demonic activity. God is reminding me I can fly.

 

The last couple of sentences say: I was flying, getting away from demons. God just kept reminding me that I could fly.

 

The interpretation of these applying symbols:  I am running into demonic activity and God is reminding me that I can deal with it by coming into a high spiritual activity of God.

 

Wow.  This is the essence of the first dream. Let’s see what Method 2. shows us.

 

Method 2. Find the Focus, Sub Focus, and Details.  Remember the Focus and Sub-focus tells the essence of the dream and the details give clarity.

 

The Focus is “who or what” is the “star” of the dream? Who/what does the dream rotate around?”   The Sub-focuses are “primary issues in the dream.” Without these issues the dream would cease to exist.

 

The Details describe, give reasons for actions, define the degree of the problem, etc.

 

Let’s find these and include their symbolic meaning.

 

Focus: The Focus of this dream is the dreamer “You”.


Sub-focus(es): The Sub-focuses of this dream are:
1. God remind me can fly (God reminding me I can go to high spiritual activity)
2. Demonic activity (activity from the enemy)

Interpretation of the Focus and Sub-focuses:  You are being reminded by God that you can go to high spiritual activity when being confronted by the enemy (demonic attack).

 

Let’s look at the details to get a little more clarification:

 

Details: The Details are:

1.       When flying saw beauty (when in high spiritual activity can see above the bad and see beauty)
2.       Famous actor (false action/ persona / idea/ religion/ well known to the mass of people)

a.       Trying to fool me (trying to fool me)
b.       House seems normal (area of life seems to be good)
c.        Trying to use Jesus’ name (trying to claim to be godly)
d.       Turned into demon (realized is really demonic/not of God)

3.      Josie (inner circle of friends)
a.       Needs help (needs help)
b.       Able to help her (am able to help)

4.       Baby (new work, new ministry, new beginning)
a.       Supposed to be me (trying to fool me that is my identity)
b.       Not me (this is not who God made me to be)
c.         Used as a distraction (used to keep from doing/being who God made me to be)

Okay, the interpretation with the details added is:

 

You are being reminded by God that you can go to high spiritual activity when being confronted by the enemy (demonic attack). Some of this attack of the enemy is in the form of trying to convince you things are “good” when they are not. These things include areas of living, how other people are representing themselves, and your own identity in who you are in Christ.   You also have an ability to help others (especially those in your inner circle) to reach a higher level of spiritual activity.

 

Now, let’s try this using Method 3. – inserting the symbolic meanings.

 

Method 3. Substitute the symbolic meanings in the dream and put it together

Dream Including Symbols:

In the whole dream I had soooo many enemy making me feel harassed and/or threatened (demons coming after me), but each time in the dream God kept reminding me that I could seek high spiritual activity God is calling me to (Fly). Every time that thought came to my mind I just started to seek high spiritual activity God is calling me to (fly). In the dream God kept constantly reminding me that I could seek high spiritual activity God is calling me to (fly). Every time that I was reminded of that, I seek high spiritual activity God is calling me to (flew) and soar so high above the demons. It was like I was so high above them that at one point getting close to the end of the dream I remembered turning a corner and I saw all of this beautiful water, trees and sand.

 

I was thinking finally something beautiful but when I got to that part, I remembered seeing all of these people. It was not a lot of people but it was a fairly good amount of people. Then I realized that all of them were demons too. They all start turning into enemy making me feel harassed and/or threatened (demons and coming after me).

 

God once more reminded me that I could seek high spiritual activity God is calling me to (fly).  I began to seek high spiritual activity God is calling me to (fly) far above them but then it looked like friends in my inner circle (a close friend of mine name JOSIE) was with me but friends in my inner circle (she) was still on the ground. I was thinking to myself (friends in my inner circle she) needs to seek high spiritual activity God is calling them to (fly), friends in my inner circle (she) needs to seek high spiritual activity God is calling her to (fly)!! I wasn’t sure if friends in my inner circle (she) could seek high spiritual activity God is calling them to (fly) but I heard a voice say help friends in my inner circle (her)!! So I reached down and grabbed friends in my inner circle (her). I wasn’t sure that if I reached down and grabbed friends in my inner circle (her), if I would fall down from the sky. But when I reached down and grabbed friends in my inner circle (her) I pulled friends in my inner circle (her) up to where I was. The demons could not get to friends in my inner circle(her).  Initially they were so close to getting friends in your inner circle

 

(her) but I was able to pull friends in my inner circle(her) up in time with me. I was soooo high up in the air. So at this point we were seek high spiritual activity God is calling us to (flying) above and it was so peaceful in the sky where we were.

 

All of a sudden we saw a house and ran into a man. He looked like some well known to the masses of people (famous) an act, a “poser,” a false persona, something not real(actor).  Once we arrived in His house everything appears to be good (seem to be normal). We thought this was a house of safety. Everything really really appears to be good (seemed to be normal). We then got into his car and he took us somewhere. It almost seemed like it was the grand finale. When I arrived at this new place again everyone appears to be good (seemed normal) and then I saw this little new beginning, new work(baby). It looked like this new beginning, new work (baby) was trying to be put upon me (supposed to be me) when I was a little girl. I was looking at the new beginning, new work (baby) and thinking to myself, is that trying to be put upon me (supposed to be me when I was immature (little girl)?? When I looked at her closely I said NO that’s this is not who God made me to be (not me). She looked like a little chucky doll but in girl form. She had on new beginning, new work (baby) girl coverings (clothing) but when I kept looking at her she looked more like a false and full of evil intent(chucky doll) in a girl form. The new beginning, new work (baby) was being used to keep from doing/being who God made me to be (as a distraction).

 

When I stood up I was able to stand firm (standing on the ground) and all I could see was that I was surrounded by a whole lot of demons again. I was thinking oh my God this is the grand finale and it was like the enemy making me feel harassed and/or threatened (demons were saying we got you)! All of a sudden I was reminded again that you can seek high spiritual activity God is calling me to (fly). I sought high spiritual activity God is calling me to (flew straight up into the air) just like Jesus did when he left the disciples. When I seek high spiritual activity God is calling me to (flew) straight up in the sky, enemy making me feel harassed and/or threatened (they were coming after me). I didn’t seek high spiritual activity God is calling me to (fly) up as high as I did before so they were still on the same level that I was on.

 

I noticed that an act, a “poser,” a false persona, something not real (the actor) that took me to this place begin to come after me so strong. He was trying to use Jesus Name. He was trying to fool me but I could see all of this demonic activity. He was trying to make me think that he was on my side by saying Jesus Name. On the inside of me I was saying you can’t say Jesus Name!! I then said to him, You can’t say Jesus’ name and as soon as I said that he turned into a demon. Then I was reminded again seek high spiritual activity God is calling me to (fly). I seek high spiritual activity God is calling me to (flew) up really high and was able to get away from all of the demons! Throughout the whole dream I was seek high spiritual activity God is calling me to (flying getting away from demons). God just kept reminding me that I could seek high spiritual activity God is calling me to (fly). I seek high spiritual activity God is calling me to (flew) so high and soared way above them and then I woke up!

 

Interpretation

 

You are being reminded by God that you can seek higher spiritual levels in dealing with the demonic enemy/demonic attack, especially when the enemy is trying to convince you things are “good” and of God, when they are not. These things include areas of living, how other people are representing themselves, and your own self-identity in Christ.  Through high spiritual activity you have an ability to help others (especially those in your inner circle) to reach their own higher level of spiritual activity in God.

 

Notice the dream is VERY repetitious about seeking high spiritual levels that God is calling you to (flying). I think God is REALLY trying to get this point home to you!

 

This dream tells of your struggles against the enemy and how the Lord keeps telling you to deal with it by moving into higher spiritual levels.  

Beautiful dreams. God bless you.
