Follow GPS or Not

Dear Marsha,

I had the following dream.  What do you think it means?

I was driving in a van with my family to get to the airport.  It was kind of dark.  It was uphill.  I was following a GPS and turned right. 

 At the top of the hill I stopped.  I could see the airport ahead and below.  The GPS said to “go forward” but I was at a cliff and if I went forward I would drive off the cliff. I knew I would be in trouble if I followed the GPS.

I woke up.

Signed,

G.S.

 

Dear G.S.,

I love GPS’s.  Don’t know how I would get around in all the strange cities I find myself in, without them.  But that is reality.  Let’s look at this dream and look at the dream symbols metaphorically.

The symbols might be:

Driving = in control of/in charge of

Van= family unit

My family = your actual family

Airport = waiting while being made ready for ministry or work or a way of getting somewhere

Dark/dusk = often portrays “plans the enemy” has for you

Uphill = a struggle

GPS = Global positioning System, the logic of the world, the earthly (global) position

Cliff = destruction

 

If you put these symbols together in the dream, the dream is saying:

You are in control of a family situation/journey to get somewhere. It’s a struggle.  If you take the earthly position it will be destructive (take you off a cliff). 

The inference from this dream is that you need to use the “spiritual” position instead of the “earthly position in leading your family forward.  Believe this is telling you to pray, ask ‘What would Jesus do?’, and go forward following Christ.

What a great dream!

Swap V6 for a V8

Swap V6 for a V8

 

 

 

Dear Marsha,

Here is my dream.

I was driving a full size Toyota Pickup Truck with a V8 in it.  It was running very rough and smoking.  Someone suggested I drop a V6 from a Toyota Car in it to solve the problem.  I did it and the truck ran smoothly.

What do you think?

M.W.

 

 

Dear M.W.

Looking at the Symbols:

Driving = something you are in control or

Pickup Truck = ministry/work that can handle rough terrain

V8 = a large force of power

V6 = a smaller force of power

Applying these symbols, I believe this says:

A ministry/work that you are in charge of can handle hard times and rough terrain.  But there is too much force (it’s overpowering) and subsequently it’s not going well.  Cut back on the force (power) going into it and it will go much smoother.

This might mean, if your ministry is dealing with people, try a more gentle approach.

Already Sent an Airplane

Marsha,
 
Graham Cooke’s Ministry referred me to you. Here is the second dream of October 22, 2014 that I know means something. 
 
C.S.
 
Dream #2.

 

 I had just woke up from the first dream and then as soon as a laid back down I started dreaming again. This dream was more pleasant than the first dream.

 

In my second dream I was going somewhere driving west on some street and was about to make a left turn. It was a lot of activity. I then saw a black police SUV that was in the middle of the street trying to stop traffic. The SUV was on the divider in the middle of the street.

 

All of a sudden I saw all of these men on bicycles looking like they were in a marathon and everyone just froze. Everything and Everyone froze!! It was minimum activity at this point. Then I saw a guy that was not frozen and asked him what is going on?? He never responded. 

 

All of a sudden I was in a house it looked strange. It wasn’t a nice house it was weird and kind of creepy. I then saw three windows and in each one of the windows I saw the word live, live, live and then when I turned towards the front of the house I saw this big window it almost looked like it was the front door with a big window inside it. In that window it said LIFE.

 

Then all of a sudden I was taken down this very narrow wooden hallway. I was thinking oh wow, I am not going to be able to get through here. I began to fly through this narrow hallway and was thinking oh God I am going to hurt my left arm. Somehow I was able to get my left arm in front of me and continued to fly down the hallway in superman form. There was a wooden door at the end and I flew through it into a room and the room was so beautiful and elegant. Everything in it was a mauve color. All of the furnishing, carpet the curtains etc was mauve... I saw the wind blowing through the soft mauve sheer curtains. I flew towards them and flew through them and before I knew it, I was in another area of the house. I didn’t know where I was in the house but TD JAKES was there. He was talking to me and said that I have been asking God for an Airplane. He had been praying for an Airplane because he needed one to get around to preach. He said to me but God keep telling me to quit asking for the Airplane because He has already provided it for me. I was getting ready to comment and say to him, (that’s our FATHER), but what I said to him was Bishop Jakes you have helped a lot of us. I said to him I use to binge watch some of your videos. I had not at that point watched his videos in a while, but I wanted to encourage him and let him know that he has helped a lot of people.

 

I ended up in another room and he came out with 12 small mauve roses. It was not the whole rose stem, it was just the head of the roses. It was 12 of them and he gave them to me. I didn’t know or understand why he was giving them to me but he handed them to me.

 

I then laid the 12 roses on the table and walked into another room in the house. This house was sooooo pretty. The room that I walked into was very beautiful. It almost looked like the same creepy house that I was in at the beginning of the dream but this time it was absolutely gorgeous.  As I looked at the wall that was before me, I looked at the right end of the wall and noticed some vertical cracks in the wall. I kept looking at the cracks in the wall. It looked like it spelled a word. If you were just looking at the wall, you would only think it was just some cracks in the walk but as I looked very closely I saw JESUS name carved into the wall. I remembered smiling and feeling peaceful when I was able to see JESUS name carved into the wall of this house..

 

That is the end of my second dream!!

 

Dear C.S. Marsha here!
We interpreted your first dream about God reminding you to fly….so now let’s do this one.  To interpret the second dream, I am just going to use just one method, however you can play around with all 3 methods of 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.

 

I will use Method 3, and substitute some symbolic meanings into the dream.  I’ve prayed that the Lord reveal the proper meanings and interpretation to us.  So first, let’s look at the symbol meanings.

 

Symbols:

Left turn = turn toward things born to do and spiritual change
Black = not of God
Police SUV = authority off the “road” or off the main path of life
Trying to stop traffic = trying to stop forward flow
Divider = causes division
Men on bicycles = individual ministries powered by own self
Marathon = competition between people
Froze = unable to go forward and without warmth
Asked him what is going on = trying to get answers
In a house looked strange = area of living not of God
Windows = revelation
Door = choice
Wooden = things of the world/earthly things
Hallway = period or area of transition
Not able to get through = difficult
Left = things born to do
Arm = power
Fly = high spiritual activity of God
Wind = Holy Spirit
TD Jakes = non-denominational mega church of God
Airplane = large ministry active in high spiritual activity
12 = apostolic
Roses = Christ (rose of Sharon –Song Solomon 2:1)
Head = leader
Vertical cracks = openings upward

Now, let’s substitute the meanings into the dream and see what happens.

 

In my second dream I was going somewhere driving west on some street and was about to make a turn toward things born to do and spiritual change (left turn). It was a lot of activity. I then saw a not of God (black) off the “road” or off the main path of life (SUV) authority (police) that was in the middle of the road of life (street) trying to stop forward flow (traffic). The vehicle off the road of life causes division (was on the divider) in the middle of the road of life (street).

 

All of a sudden I saw all of these individual ministries powered by own self (men on bicycles) looking like they were in competition between people (a marathon) and everyone unable to go forward and without warmth (just froze). Everything and everyone unable to go forward and without warmth  (froze)!! It was minimum activity at this point. Then I saw a guy that was not frozen and tried to get answers (asked him what is going on)? He never responded. 

 

All of a sudden I was in a  area of living not of God (house looked strange). It wasn’t a nice area of living not of God it was weird and kind of creepy. I then saw (God-Trinity) three revelation (windows) and in each one of the revelation (windows) I saw the word live, live, live and then when I turned towards the front of the house I saw this big revelation (windows) it almost looked like it was the front choice (Door) with a big revelation (windows) inside it. In that revelation (windows) it said LIFE.

 

Then all of a sudden I was taken down this very narrow things of the world/earthly things (wooden) period or area of transition (hallway). I was thinking oh wow,  difficult (I am not able to get through). I began to move in high spiritual activity of God through this narrow period or area of transition (hallway) and was thinking oh God I am going to hurt my things born to do (left) power (arm). Somehow I was able to get my things born to do (left) power (arm) in front of me and continued to move in high spiritual activity of God down the period or area of transition in supernatural (superman) form. There was a things of the world/earthly things (wooden) choice (door) at the end and I moved in high spiritual activity of God through it into a room and the room was so beautiful and elegant. Everything in it was a mauve color. All of the furnishing, carpet the curtains etc was mauve.. I saw the Holy Spirit (wind) blowing through the soft mauve sheer curtains. I moved in high spiritual activity of God towards them and moved in high spiritual activity of God through them and before I knew it, I was in another area of the area of living/church. I didn’t know where I was in the area of living/church but leader(s) of non-denominational mega church of God (TD Jakes) was there. Leader(s) of non-denominational mega church of God was talking to me and said that I have been asking God for an large ministry active in high spiritual activity (airplane).  Leader(s) of non-denominational mega church of God had been praying for an large ministry active in high spiritual activity because leader(s) of non-denominational mega church of God needs to get around to preach. Leader(s) of non-denominational mega church of God said God keeps telling me to quit asking for the large ministry active in high spiritual activity (airplane) because He has already provided it for me. I was getting ready to comment and say to him, (that’s our FATHER), but what I said to him was leader(s) of non-denominational mega church of God you have helped a lot of us. I said to leader(s) of non-denominational mega church of God that I used to binge watch some of your videos. I had not at that point watched leader(s) of non-denominational mega church of God videos in a while, but I wanted to encourage leader(s) of non-denominational mega church of God and let leader(s) of non-denominational mega church of God know that leader(s) of non-denominational mega church of God has helped a lot of people.

 

 I ended up in another room and leader(s) of non-denominational mega church of God came out with a gift of apostolic Christ. It was not the whole Christ stem, it was just the leadership (head) of apostles for Christ. It was apostolic and he gave it to me. I didn’t know or understand why he was giving it to me but he handed it to me.

 

I then laid the apostolic Christ  gift tabled it (on the table) and walked into another room in the house. This house was sooooo pretty. The room that I walked into was very beautiful. It almost looked like the same creepy house that I was in at the beginning of the dream but this time it was absolutely gorgeous.  As I looked at the wall that was before me, I looked at the right end of the wall and noticed some vertical cracks in the wall. I kept looking at the cracks in the wall. It looked like it spelled a word. If you were just looking at the wall, you would only think it was just some cracks in the walk but as I looked very closely I saw JESUS name carved into the wall. I remembered smiling and feeling peaceful when I was able to see JESUS name carved into the wall of this house.

 

Interpretation:
You are attempting to move into things of the Lord you were born to do.  At this same time you see authority from the world/or the enemy that is stopping this forward direction for you and for others. You are given revelation to see the Lord wants us to “LIVE.”  You also see through revelation that many individuals try to minister or work under their own power, but they are really frozen from going forward. You seek counsel/answers but get none.

 

 During a time of life transition (possibly in areas of job/health/etc. – worldly issues) you are having a difficult time.  During this time, you fear the power to move in things you are born to do (left arm), will not be in front of you.  During this time you move to higher spiritual levels (fly) and get through the difficult time, finding the Holy Spirit (wind) there.  You are a little confused about what area of the church / life to find a ministry that is actively moving high in the spirit (airplane), but in relation to the non-denominational church of the one and only God, you find you are already there.  You are given an apostolic-type gift (12 roses) which you “table” or lay down for a time.  You view walls or barriers surrounding the church and find it has some appearances of worldly issues, but  in spite of that, there are upward (God) openings (cracks) and Jesus is carved on it. 
 
God bless you C.S. 
You are on the right Track!

Can’t Buy Window Cleaner

 

Dear Marsha

 

I had this dream about Hal.  Hal is my husband and he is a truck driver. Can you tell me what it might mean?

 

A friend of God.
 

 

Hal was in an auto parts store trying to buy a bottle of window cleaner. He didn’t have any cash. He explained to the clerk that though he had a paycheck for over $600 from a truck driving job, he didn’t have any personal checks with him or have a bank account in town. Since the local bank didn’t know him, they just wanted him to deposit the check and wait till it cleared before they would give him any cash.

 

The clerk at the store said, “It’s too bad you don’t have a credit card.”

 

Hal said, “Oh, I do have a credit card. Do you take credit cards?”

 

She said, “No.”

 

I woke up.
 

 

Dear Friend,

 

Dreams are so strange when you look at them in the natural.  Let’s look at the metaphors of this dream.
 

 

Auto = own life/work/ministry

 

Store = place of provision (1Kgs 9:19, 1Chro 27:25)

 

Buy = obtain through recompense (Rev 5:9, 3:18)

 

Bottle = vessel or supply (Exo 37:16, 2Sam 10:19)

 

Window = revelation / ability to “see” or understand (Gen 7:11, 8:2, 2 Kgs 7:2, 7:19)

 

Cash = recompense from humanistic endeavors

 

Clerk = one in charge of distribution

 

Pay check = recompense owed from works

 

6 = man (Gen 2:2-3, 2:7, Rev 13:18)

 

600 = mankind in large quantity

 

Truck = large work

 

Driving = in control of

 

 Personal check = personal “measurement of status”

 

No deposits = no input or investments made into local places of (banks) receiving God’s favor (Gen 47:15, Is 40:10)

 

Credit cards = receive credit for
 

 

So, for fun….let’s “substitute the metaphor-meaning” into the dream.
 

 

Hal was in an = own life/work/ministry parts place of provision trying to obtain through recompense a vessel or supply of revelation / ability to “see” or understand cleaner. He didn’t have any recompense from humanistic endeavors. He explained to the one in charge of distribution that though he had a recompense owed from works for over mankind in large quantity from a large work in control of job, he didn’t have any personal “measurement of status” with him or have no input or investments made into local places of (banks) receiving God’s favor. Since the local bank didn’t know him, they just wanted him to deposit the personal “measurement of status” and wait till it cleared before they would give him any recompense from humanistic endeavors.

 

The clerk at the store said, “It’s too bad you don’t receive credit for.”

 

Hal said, “Oh, I do receive credit for. Do you take receive credit for?”

 

She said, “No.”

 

I woke up.
 

 

Okay… it looks to me that Hal is trying to obtain an increase in his ability to “see” or understand things, but he has not invested into the local places of God’s favor.  Can this be “church” maybe? 

 

Possibly this is telling Hal to receive ability to understand things of God, he needs to invest in God’s places near him.

Kitten on Her Lap

 

Dear Marsha,

 

This dream was by Tia.  Tia, Karin, and Dawna are three preteen and early teen girls who run around together.  Tia had this dream.
I have some thoughts on it, but what are your thoughts?
Mom of one of the girls
Dream:
Tia, Karin, and Dawna, were getting ready to go swimming – putting on sunscreen.  They were going “night swimming”. It was dark outside. Karin started driving the truck.  She had a kitten on her lap that she was holding. Karin let go of the wheel and the kitten jumped down and pushed the pedal and made the truck go out of control.  And Karin couldn’t get control of the truck and it went off the road.  They went over a very rocky cliff. Tia told everyone to start praying. God’s angels came down from above and saved them one by one. Had wings and white dresses and golden beautiful halos. God spoke the word bravery to Tia in the dream. Then God carried them back to safety and “made me feel loved more than I could imagine”.

Dear Mom,

Let’s look at the symbols:

·         Go swimming – immerse themselves in deep things of the spirit (good or bad spirit – depending on night swimming or day clear swimming).

 

·         Sunscreen – filtering out the ‘Son’, ignoring God

 

·         Driving the truck – calling the shots or the leader, in control of the situation

 

·         Kitten = willfulness but on a small scale

 

·         Went off the road = off the pathway or getting into trouble

 

·         Very rocky cliff = trials and hard times

 

Now, to put this together, I would say this dream might mean:

 

Karin is leading the other two girls to explore some dark things.  She thinks she can keep a handle on it, but it starts to control their experiences, and Karin can’t stop it.  Tia reacts by praying and turning toward God.  God honors her request and helps them.  The experience brings Tia closer to God, allowing her to feel His immense love.

 

Now, as a mom I know you are concerned but please note that the willfulness was displayed as a kitten, not a full grown cat.  This indicates willfulness on a small scale.  So I would suggest you not be over concerned about this.  Considering their age (preteen and early teens) this is a time when all ealthy children start to exert their personality and “try” things.  As parents, we need to be diligent about loving them, and guiding them in a healthy way through their wrong choices.  This dream may be speaking of something the girls have already done, or something they are currently involved in, or will be doing.  Either way, I believe this is a call to pray for discernment and direction for the girls.  The dream already shows God will be there to bail them out.  Yay God!  Thank you God!

Marsha
