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.

Trying on Powers

Hi Marsha!  

My son (age 11) has recently had 3 dreams.  One of which he has had several times now.  I was wondering if you would mind helping me with interpretation.  I have been able to get thoughts on the first 2, but the 3rd one is puzzling.  

 

 Dream #1

 

My son found himself in a room where he was given the ability to try “powers”.  He said that when he tried them the power was poured over him. My son first tried fire, but he did not feel like that power fit him.  The next power that he tried was water and he felt that “power” fit him much better.  He stated that the “power” that he felt led to try next was flying.  Then his dream ended.  

 

Dream #2

 

In the next dream, my son found himself with a group of kids who had been given new “powers”.  He said that none of these people knew how to use their powers yet either.  My son kept trying to control his “water”, but it kept slipping out of his hand.  He then encounters a girl who is teaching my son how to use his power.  She first teaches him how to make a ball out of the water – showing him how to control it.  She then teaches him how to breathe under the water.  My son finds himself at great peace there- loves it- finds himself without fear.  The two of them are then encountered by an enemy.  The girl is able to use the water via her hand (Like a stream bouncing from the body of water to her hand then reflected out to the enemy) to push back the enemy until he disappears.  My son tries, but his stream is tiny.  My son is then reminded of breathing in the water and he goes under for a while breathing in the water.  When he comes up, he tries his power (his stream is thicker and he can control it better, but it is still not as strong as the girl’s).

 

Dream #3

 

My son is fighting in a ring and has a wooden sword.  He is fighting opponents and is winning.  He wins against many, many opponents, but then fights a kid from school (I asked my son what this kid represented and he said that the kid is a “cool kid, very popular, very good looking with many friends”.  The kid has a different sword.  Fashioned out of metal with a glowing green core and a handle that was almost molten in the kid’s hand.  My son wanted the kid’s sword.  He asked his father for the sword and his dad brought it to him.  When my son looked at the sword he saw black lines running through it and knew instantly that it was evil and he told his father “I cannot take it!”

 

The 3rd dream my son has had twice, about a 9 months to a year apart.  I am having the most difficulty with this dream.  I am feeling it may be significant as he has had it twice.  I believe the first two speak to his gifting and the Holy Spirit and perhaps an authority in that area.  “Breathing in the spirit referring to soaking in the Holy Spirit?  Walking in that?  

               Would love to hear your thoughts.  They will be a great encouragement to him as I have been trying to teach them that they can hear from God even as children.

 J.O.

 

Hi J.O. Marsha here!

 

I love it when our kids get dreams.  It is such a perfect way to start sow into them (as you are already doing) by teaching them they can hear from God, even as children. 

             Remind your son that Samuel was around 12 years old (according to the Jewish historian Josephus) when he heard the voice of God calling him.  God definitely reaches out to our youngsters. 
            On this same note: there is a wonderful CD by Recie Saunders called “Dreams Children & the Night Season that is a guide to help parents deal with prophetically gifted children’s dreams.  I met Recie at a John Paul Jackson class years ago (I doubt he would remember).  He is extremely gifted.  The CD is pretty basic, designed to help parents understand and nurture their children’s dreams.  I believe you are already doing so with your son. But for those of you who want to get this, according to the back of the CD, it is available at www.itinerantministryteam.com.

                Now, let’s look at your son’s dreams.

 

 
Dream #1


My son found himself in a room where he was given the ability to try “powers”.  He said that when he tried them the power was poured over him. My son first tried fire, but he did not feel like that power fit him.  The next power that he tried was water and he felt that “power” fit him much better.  He stated that the “power” that he felt led to try next was flying.  Then his dream ended

I’ve pulled out a few symbols to look at:

 

Powers =Gifts of the spirit

 

Fire     = Gift of the God’s Word in the mouth that consumes (2Sam 22:9, Jer 23:29); evangelical          gifting

 

Water = Pastoral gifting.  Watering and cleansing the sheep (John 4:14, Ps 23:2, Lev 11:33, 1Sam 7:6, Ps 66:12, Mt 3:11)

 

Flying = Prophetic gifting of going high in the spirit [air] (Eph 2:2)

 

 Inserting a variation of the symbols, the dream might be saying:

My son found himself in a place where he was given the ability to try out different spiritual gifts.  He said that when he tried them the power was poured over him. My son first tried the fire of evangelical speaking, but he did not feel like that power fit him.  The next power that he tried was a pastoral gifting where he is watering and cleansing the Lord’s sheep/people and he felt that “power” fit him much better.  He stated that the “power” that he felt led to try next was the prophetic gifting of going high in spiritual things.  Then his dream ended

Wow!  I love it.  
This dream closely follows the verse of Mt 13:11: The knowledge of the secrets of the kingdom of heaven has been given to you.  Whoever has, will be given more, and he will have an abundance.  Whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken from him.  Your son found that when he stepped into the gifting, more was given “the power was poured over him.”  This is awesome. 
I believe this dream is saying your son has a pastoral and prophetic gifting that he is learning about and experimenting with. 

 

 Dream #2

 

 In the next dream, my son found himself with a group of kids who had been given new “powers”.  He said that none of these people knew how to use their powers yet either.  My son kept trying to control his “water”, but it kept slipping out of his hand.  He then encounters a girl who is teaching my son how to use his power.  She first teaches him how to make a ball out of the water – showing him how to control it.  She then teaches him how to breathe under the water.  My son finds himself at great peace there- loves it- finds himself without fear.  The two of them are then encountered by an enemy.  The girl is able to use the water via her hand (Like a stream bouncing from the body of water to her hand then reflected out to the enemy) to push back the enemy until he disappears.  My son tries, but his stream is tiny.  My son is then reminded of breathing in the water and he goes under for a while breathing in the water.  When he comes up, he tries his power (his stream is thicker and he can control it better, but it is still not as strong as the girl’s).

 

Powers = spiritual giftings

 

Group of kids who had been given new powers = others who are immature in their giftings

 

Hand = works

 

A girl who is teaching my son how to use his power = someone who is teaching son how to use his          gifting (especially as it relates to the pastoral [water])

 

Make a ball out of the water = a tool full of the Holy Spirit (air) to use in the game of life (playing               with self or others)

 

Breathe = ability to pull in spiritual things [air] (Ps 39:5)

 

Breath = spiritual things (Ps 39:5), Holy Spirit (Is 40:7, Ezk 37:9-10, John 20:22)

 

Breathe under the water = ability to pull from the Holy Spirit while in his pastoral gifting

 

Enemy = devil (Mt 13:25-28, Lk 10:19, Acts 13:10); or those who oppose (Exo 15:9, 1Sam 24:19)

 

Stream = ministry; life filled with God (Ps 23:2, 65:9)

 

Body of water = Word of God (Neh 9:15, Ps 73:10, Is 55:1, John 4:10-15)

 

Stream bouncing from the body of water to her hand = ministry filled with God coming from the              Word of God into her works

 

 
Rewrite of dream with symbol meanings:
In the next dream, my son found himself with others who are immature in their giftings.  He said that none of these people knew how to use their spiritual giftings yet either.  My son kept trying to control his pastoral gift, but it kept slipping out during his works.  He then encounters a girl who is teaching my son how to use his pastoral gifting.  She first teaches him how to make a tool full of the Holy Spirit to use in his interaction with his pastoral gifting – showing him how to keep it pure and of God.  She then teaches him how to pull in spiritual things while doing his pastoral gifting.  My son finds himself at great peace there- loves it- finds himself without fear.  The two of them are then encountered by one who is not of God (an attack of a devil or an attack from one who is opposed to what he is doing.)  The girl is able to use the Word of God in her works (a ministry filled with God coming from the Word of God into her works) then reflected out to the enemy) to push back the enemy until he disappears.  My son tries, but his use of the Word of God in his works is tiny.  My son is then reminded of using the Holy Spirit to get the Word of God and he goes under for a while using the Holy Spirit to receive the Word of God.  When he comes up, he tries his gifting (his ability and control is better, but it is still not as strong as the girl’s).

 

To paraphrase this:  Your son, along with others, are learning how to apply the Word of God through the Holy Spirit in their spiritual giftings.  Your son gets better with time and practice. Someone (probably a girl/woman) will come along in his life and help guide him.

Dream #3

My son is fighting in a ring and has a wooden sword.  He is fighting opponents and is winning.  He wins against many, many opponents, but then fights a kid from school (I asked my son what this kid represented and he said that the kid is a “cool kid, very popular, very good looking with many friends”.  The kid has a different sword.  Fashioned out of metal with a glowing green core and a handle that was almost molten in the kid’s hand.  My son wanted the kid’s sword.  He asked his father for the sword and his dad brought it to him.  When my son looked at the sword he saw black lines running through it and knew instantly that it was evil and he told his father “I cannot take it!”

 

Fighting = dealing with issues of life (1Tim 1:18, 6:12, 2Tim 4:7)

 

Ring = place where adversaries are met face to face

 

Sword = words (Is 49:2, Ps 57:4, 59:7, 64:3, Prov 12:18)

 

Wooden sword = natural words of man (Dt 28:64, Jer 2:27, 5:14, 2Tim 2:20-21)

 

A kid from school who is cool, popular, good looking, with lots of friends = peers who “are looked up to by others”

 

Sword of metal = words of man molded to be strong and powerful (Jer 6:27); test of strength

 

Glowing green core = the core or foundation is pride/envy/jealousy & spreads destruction (Lev 13:49, 14:37)

 

Handle molten in the hand = manipulation – ability to use it is appropriate (handle molten) to the result or work (hand) he wants done

 

Father = Father God 

 

Black = evil (Is 59:9, 2Pet 2:17)

 

My son is face to face dealing with issues of life and is using natural words of man in his battling. He is fighting opponents and is winning.  He wins against many, many opponents, but then fights peers who are looked up to by others. The kid has a different way of speaking.  Fashioned out of words of man molded to be strong and powerful.  But its foundation is pride/envy/jealousy and spreads destruction.  The kid uses it to manipulate others.  My son wanted the kid’s way of speaking.  He asked God for the ability to speak that way and God gave it to him.  When my son looked at it he saw evil lines coming off of it and knew instantly that it was evil and he told God “I cannot take it!”

 

To paraphrase the third dream:

 

While dealing with face-to-face conflict with peers, your son naturally does pretty well on his own and uses words in an effective way.  However, he did (or will) go through a phase where he might want (for his reasons) decides to mimic someone else’s manipulation tactics. This is someone who is looked up to by peers.  Your son will see it’s wrong and go back to God’s way of doing things.

 

 
J.O., to summarize all of this, I think you are raising an amazing 11 year-old boy.  He is going through the proper training of learning of his gifts and learning how to grow in favor with God and man.  He will make some mistakes, as we all do, but he will come through it well.   

 

I know from what else was said in your email that he is “under attack” right now from the enemy.  I will, and I encourage all readers out there…..to pick this up and pray safety for him.  And, pray that any plans of the enemy be thwarted by our loving Father God.

 

God bless you and your son
