Seeking help with interpreting a dream

[Sherene Ann]

I'll start with a summary of my journey up to the point of this dream in case it helps give context that I cannot see;

I'm 36, I was christened Wesleyan Holiness and raised in church by my paternal grandmother (my parents divorced when I was a baby and I lived with my mom and visited my dad/grandparents on weekends). When with my mom, I lived next door to a Baptist Church and partook in every VBS and youth night, eventually I was baptized at that church at 16. As I got older, I moved away from the faith and got married young (20) to a man of no faith who was involved in illegal activities. I sought divorce 3 years later. After another 5 year unsuccessful relationship, I remarried at 29 and had two kids. The marriage turned abusive so I sought another divorce 7 years later. During the separation and divorce I found myself on a deep spiritual journey and was awakened to hear and see God talking to me. I'm in a relationship with someone else (he treats me well), but I feel very unsettled; like this is not where I'm supposed to be. I don't know that reconciliation with my kids' father is possible or if I should even try. I'm working on myself and my walk with Christ and I can't force either man to do the same.

Here is my dream:
I am sitting on what seems to be a plastic chair with my new partner in the exit bay of a medical center and there are other (unsavory looking) men on bikes in front of us. They start to ride off and he starts to follow (the chair suddenly has wheels and he is driving us forward with his feet). As we get out of the exit bay, he gets off the chair and starts to pull it like a chariot. I feel like I want to ask him not to get off and pull me like that but then the chair starts to rise like a kite and I see that it's red. I feel that although I'm uncomfortable, that this is something I should accept and take the time to enjoy, so I do. Very quickly he lets go and I continue to ride the red chair as it glides smoothly in the air (about 20 ft up), I glide past him and I'm happy and enjoying my ride. I can see him walking behind me and eventually I glide down to a safe stop and he catches up with me and we talk about how amazing this was.

Any insight into what this means would be very much appreciated; I just feel like there's something I'm supposed to get from this dream but I can't see it...

OK...here goes

(I in no way mean to offend, and this is what popped out to me when I first read about your dream... let me stress that I have never done this before)

The plastic chair represents something fake maybe?

The red signified danger?

The experience you had riding was exciting, thrilling, smooth and fun, but was also dangerous and could have hurt you. Idk whether this is supposed to be a representation of your current relationship and I'm not going to jump to conclusions that it is. Maybe something I wrote about resonates with you? (again, I'm not trying to say anything negative, just stating what popped up).

Hi,

It sounds like your new guy is totally safe, and you know that, but are too afraid of all those other bad guys to admit that yet.

LOVE,

The people in our dreams are very rarely ever literal. The man in your dream does not symbolize himself. He illustrates the Lord who wants to be given full control of your destination [pulling cart as you stay in a position of rest (chair)].
The Lord is showing you a spiritual journey He is taking you on.
= As you continue to put God first and let Him be in charge of your life , He will bring you to a place of overcoming and rising into the Spirit (kite in air) with wonderful fellowship with Him.

By the way, it is not God's will for anyone to be yoked to someone who is either abusive or who is not a Christian who loves Jesus. Since you are single, I'd suggest staying that way and focusing all your energy and attention on God first and children 2nd.

Luke 14:26 (NIV) says, "If anyone comes to me and does not hate his father and mother, his wife and children, his brothers and sisters--yes, even his own life--he cannot be my disciple"

All this verse means is that our love for God must be first above every other thing in life.
God bless!

You should not put too much stock in this dream. If God is speaking to you, then spend time in His Word and determine your course of action (2 Timothy 3:16,17).

 

[EinsteinsGirl]

When God gives someone a dream, then there's a reason for it. Don't pay attention to anyone who tells you dreams aren't from God.
There are no examples of dreams from satan in the bible.

 

[EinsteinsGirl]

Even frightening dreams come from God
When I think my bed will comfort me and my couch will ease my complaint, even then you frighten me with dreams and terrify me with visions
Job 7:13, 14

 

[AGTG]

Dream interpretation can only be by the Lord, but that being said, here is what I feel it may mean:

The chair represents your relationship with this guy. It's superficial and of this world, it doesn't have the substance that a relationship with God has, or a relationship that God has ordained.

Him following after the unsavory characters means your indulging a part of your past in your current relationship even though this guy may not be totally like some of those characters of the past.

The adventuresome quality, and your feeling like it's not quite right about your relationship, but you're trying to be at peace with it because you're in the midst of it and aren't too quick to end something without some obvious and clear reason.

Remember, God wants any single person in the Body of Christ to "court" people. This is a very formal, hands-off relationship that is really just a simple friendship. Courtship, in my opinion, should be approached in a careful manner maintaining boundaries and respecting Jesus' Lordship over whom you become betrothed to.

If within a few months things don't seem to be right while courting, it's time to move on as it is obvious it wasn't meant to be.
And because courtship is so formal, and tentative, without any sexual relations whatsoever, but just trying out the friendship to see what develops, each party should not be too upset and ready to understand it's not God's will if it doesn't seem to work out.

If you're in an intimate relationship with this man, and he isn't willing to get married, you need to rethink the relationship altogether. If he isn't a serious believer, and isn't serious about honoring God through a marriage covenant with you, what exactly do you, as a serious Christian want with him?

Setting the dream to the side... if you feel that this relationship is not of God and you are unsettled in your spirit, then you should let him go. Sometimes we have to forsake others for Christ especially if this man isn't saved or isn't taking his relationship with Christ seriously enough to be the head of your home. You shouldn't have to force him to do that. If he is the man God has for you then he will have it in him to do it already and he will step up and be the man God has called him to be. I think we as women sometimes focus too much on finding a husband instead of finding God and letting the man God has for us find us in God. A man doesn't define who we are or complete us (no offense fellas!). We are already complete in Christ (Col. 2:8).. with or without a husband.

God bless you
