Out to get me...?

[lovingjesus9]

I had a very strange dream please share your thoughts


I was in a PAST home (lived there whilst in college) it seems I was going to go somewhere, my mother was present. But seems that there was a man or some people who had been hired to get rid of me and my family. My mother was with me in the bedroom as I looked at some shoes, I was trying to decide which ones to wear for where I was going. I remember seeing two types of shoes and deciding on one over the other. The whole time I was aware that wherever it was I was going, I would have to be careful of these people who were out to get me. There was an awareness that I could possibly not make it. Seems my mother also knew this, yet we both seemed accepting of this fate if it were to happen. I remember walking down the stairs in my house getting ready to go and seeing some fat guy walking too, seems he was the one that could possibly harm me (but I wasnt sure)

I didnt feel any fear in this dream, but there was just a strange awareness there was someone or people out to get me or my family and that they might succeed.

I think it's interesting that you put the word "PAST" in all caps. Is there something from the past coming up in your life? Looking for shoes could have to do with "readiness" - "Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, http://bible.cc/ephesians/6-15.htmand with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace" (Ephesians 6:14-15). You are trying to decide between two pairs of shoes. Whatever is coming up in your life, you are equipped to deal with it. Ask the Lord for wisdom. I feel he is giving you strategy here.

Thanks for your thoughts! Yes I put the word past in capitals because I get the feeling this refers to "past" issues that may have resurfaced - past fears of some sort, but wanted to get others thoughts and ideas on it.

Thanks

Did you have similar concerns that came up during this time marker of being in school? Have you ever had a strong sense of feeling pursued, followed, or pressured by others in this era, or during a time of "learning"?

lovingjesus... I woke up from a dream tonight and then came to the computer and randomly read your dream. My dream was very similar:
"My son and I returned to a hotel room we had rented. We found our KJV Bibles pages slashed into a mesh design (not ripped apart, but just slashed like a net). My son said not to worry but to just start getting as much of the Bible into our hearts and minds as possible, and do it quickly. As I started memorizing, I felt my body lifted up like I was floating and I saw my son was in the air as well. Yet at the same time, I had a strange feeling of grim acceptance and heaviness for what was going on around us with the people who did not have His Word in them. No fear, just numb and grim acceptance. Later, we were outside where my daughter-in-law was singing Christmas songs to little ones. They were inside a chain-link fence cage with pavement floor. Then I woke up...feeling troubled yet encouraged."

I get something about the shoes. Could be the shoes of the armor of God or a path you need to choose

And the fat guy is something trying to keep you from your calling. Atleast that's my take

That's creepy.

I agree with you and Talitha. You have a choice to make concerning some past issues that will lead to dangerous consequences. Shoes protect us, enabling mobility. It is critical that you shod yourself with the gospel of peace, because the alternative is carnality (the fat guy) which will bring failure.

The Bible is a safety net, and here the mesh represents abandoning the irrelevant religious fluff the Bible too often gets used as, and just sticking to the bare meaningful essentials pertaining to life and godliness. When you do that you are lifted and protected. Difficult times are upon us, and it is not always going to be pleasant, but if we keep our position we will have opportunity to witness.

I agree, Paul, with what you saw in my dream description. I was feeling fairly much the same.

Thanks for your thoughts,

Humblewatchman - yes I had been feeling like I have been marked spiritually, almost like the enemy is working overtime with me, Im thinking the shoes do represent choices as Paul and princesa mentioned. I think for me during these times of trials the Lord maybe showing me I need to make a decision in believing him over my fears as that has been my lifelong struggle in many areas.

It seems much clearer now, thank you all.

 

[humblewatchman]

Yes, shoe choices in the dream sure do point to choices in real life. Do you think that these spiritual issues of doubt or fear could have its roots tied into your college days, as that was also pointed to in the dream?

 

[lovingjesus9]

Thats a good question humblewatchman - Im not sure because if I were to reflect on things I would say these roots took place a lot earlier, maybe its referring to something specific like some experience or event that took place during this time? Im not sure. But what has become clear is the choice I make in regards to trusting God or my fears as the fear thing has been a struggle, so much so that I become literally paralysed with it in everyday normal situations.

Everyones thoughts helped me to understand that.
So thanks

 

[humblewatchman]

You are welcome. Conquering fear with faith is a good endeavor, and something that the Holy Spirit will help you complete. Do you remember at what age your fears began? Do you have multiple fears or one main fear?

 

[lovingjesus9]

I think from age 5 onwards. A lot of my fear comes from fear of failure but I also fear people in everyday situations. I tend to stay as far away as possible from people which probably sounds very weird but its very true for me. Being around a lot of people scares me, its like I just cannot deal with being around others for too long. I become nervous and anxious and fearful. But fearful in the sense I dont want them too close to me, I am happy when people keep their distance. Hope that answers your questions.

 

[humblewatchman]

I understand.

Can you remember an event, when you were 5, that would have planted this fear of people in you? It could have been something where people laughed at you, or an event where someone came to pick you up that you didn't want to go with, or witnessing a fight among others, and so forth. Ask the Holy Spirit to take you back to that age and show you what it was that planted that fear within you. Fear is not a natural thing we have, it is caused by a lie that was spoken into us by the enemy, or by a painful/fearful event. The Lord can free you from all of your fears, if you will take some time and let Him show you where it came from, and let Him speak truth and healing into those memories. What He reveals, He heals.

This is a long but interesting video that might give you reminders of spiritual warfare issues that remain hidden, but still impact us. It's controversial and extreme, so take it for what it's worth.

Thanks humblewatchman for your encouragement and thoughts

I think this was a dream about jealousy.

You think you have a purpose, you think you have a choice, you think you are wanted, and you think you are accompanied. That is jealousy.

Gottservant - I think you are way off.....thanks for your thoughts though
