Ok.
Let me get the quotes again first:
In my dream, my husband and I were gathering apples that had been discarded and there was nothing wrong with them. I was taking them off a compost pile in a corner at night time, putting them into a white plastic bag and he held the flashlight. They were large, red apples. I think one had a worm in it. I felt discouraged that there was such wasteful people who throw away good things.
My daughter picked 2 large red apples in a cluttered house. She said it was like doing an easter egg hunt. She put hers into a woven basket, in the daylight. 1 apple had a bite in it. She felt like she did something good.
My husband said we were all together as a family, in a deserted town, and had gathered 6 - 8 large brown paper bags full of green apples. They were perfectly shaped and formed. Our autistic son had been completely neurotypical in his dream. We felt relaxed and at peace.
Bible verses:
Psalms 17:8
Keep me as the apple of the eye, hide me under the shadow of they wings.
Proverbs 25:11
A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in pictures of silver.
Ok, I could fish around with you for a bit first, but let me just throw out what I was sensing. This may or may not be what it is, but it seems to make sense to me.
The apples here represent spiritual fruit in the form of good teachings; i.e. good "fruit" born from "good trees," such as in the Lord's teaching on how they will bear good fruit (
Matthew 7:17-18).
What the dreams seem to suggest is that your family have been picking up decent Christian teachings from sources that others have discarded. Maybe teachings from a previous era, or stuff that few ever recognized to be of much value. Now these teachings are not completely perfect, because one has a worm in it (suggesting corruption), and others have a bite out of it (suggesting an important part of the original teaching had been removed), but by and large these teachings are good finds. But the fact that your autistic son was completely neurotypical means they are teachings that make one spiritually whole, and at peace. The fact that your husband and you and your family gather several bags of these apples suggests you will find good teachings together, and they will bring wholeness and peace to the entire family.
So tell me, where have you been getting your teachings from? Have you been fed from the things you are eating spiritually lately, and if so, from where?
God bless, and hope this makes some sense.
And nice to be talking with you again.
