So I was especially tired today after all the Christmas stuff today and so i went to sleep very early and I had the strangest dream the likes of which I have never had before I don't know if the dream has any meaning or not but it was interesting to me enough I figured I would share it with all of you.

the first thing I can recall was there was an old house and an old women's spirit sat in a wheel chair she was long since dead and there was an innocent little girl alive and well the old women was speaking to her without even moving her lips saying how she lost her son to death and didn't want to be lonely anymore and she began to move towards the girl with her hand reaching out as if she was going to snatch the girls spirit out of her living body the little girl seemed scared but right as the old women was about to touch her everything froze except the girl and a shady man appeared and he spoke to girl telling the old womens story why she was so lonely and knowing the girls tender heart had convinced her to willing give her soul for the women as the gilrl couldn't bear to leave this women all alone in this world even as a dead spirit.

Time unfroze and she said to the old women that she could have her and so the women gave the girl some thread and some stuff to decorate it as apparently the thread was needed for her soul and it had to be made by the girl herself the old women was touched from the girls tender heart and after the girl made her thread adding her own flair to it with beads and such suddenly I was there and the old women spoke to me asking me if I could see the creativity the girl put into her thread again touched by the girl the realized her mistake but it was to late because the old women had already touched the thread placing a binding kind of spell on it the spell was in the form of darkness and the darkness began to consume the white thread she tried cutting the thread with a pocket knife because if the thread could be cut before the darkness had fully consumed the white thread the girls soul could be saved but she couldn't do it so quickly gave it to me.

But the darkness was fast I couldn't cut the thread in time and old women in despair said that her and the girl were now bound for all eternity and the sweet girl in her innocence said in heaven? I looked at the old women and she had this insanely determined face saying no but there is a way you can she looked at me and said when the time comes you have to sacrifice me to the beast this is the only way she can be free before this part of the dream faded I recall thinking wow love made this old women who only ever thought of herself willing to go so far as to throw herself into the pit with the beast just for this little girl.

This was the first part of the bizzarre dream the second part gets even weirder.

in part two I was a spirit and was for whatever reason was bound in this old creaky house with this other spirit who was an old women but looked horrible her hair was dripping wet as if the water itself was her misery her face was sunken old and worn she was frail and old and wrinkled very horrifying to look at honestly she was laughing because she had apparently trapped me in this house with her until the end of time I saw that my hands could move through my body as I was a spirit and she continued to laugh in victory expecting me to be scared but I was not I told her that while she may have the power to hold my soul in this house for now she won't forever and she looked at me with interest as i was not scared and the certainty in my eyes was new to her as she was so used to people trembling and screaming in fear and despair.

I began to tell her of an actual experience I had with God in real life in which I would lay in my bed to be still and know him and how one night as I did this my heart and his heart made a very deep and intimate connection in which he and I would pour our deep love and feelings for each other into each others hearts using words that only our hearts could speak because the feelings for each other was so deep that there was no word in the human language that could describe them no human tongue could utter them I then continued to explain to her that this is what i call the language of the hearts words with no sound and words that only our hearts can speak.

I continued telling her my experience in which I saw fathers heart in my minds eye and I endearingly wrote my name on it claiming his heart as my own and then out of the deepest and richest love and adoration branded the word mine on his heart, I then explained to her as I pointed to my forehead that as I did this the very second I did he also branded the word mine on my forehead and she looked terrified because even though in the dream I couldn't see it the word mine shone in all the colors of the rainbow on my spirits forehead as I pointed to it and spoke of it.

Terrified she then began to say so then why did allow me power over you in this haunted house? has he sent you to punish me? I could tell she was horrified and certain her words were true but my heart melted and I slowly shook my head saying no I believe he allowed me to be taken captive by you to save you. As I walked towards her spirit in the mid section of her body I could see and feel all the misery and pain and deep sorrow she had in life well beyond what anyone I have ever known could have gone through it brought me to tears and I could read her heart like a book even the parts she didn't know of raising my hand towards my hand was glowing and I continued to speak.

I can see and feel all you have gone through in life your spirit is only in the form of this gross old hag because that is what you see when you look at yourself you feel unloved alone and un cared about the depth of your sorrow and pain is far deeper than the average soul and even now you say in your heart how God was never there and how he wouldn't save you.

I smiled with tender eyes saying but what you never had in life I will give you in death when you couldn't be saved in life you will be saved in death, I saw her form was the same she still even though teary eyed saw herself as that wet gross old hag and I shook my head smiling as if she was being silly saying you still see yourself in this form now let me show you what I see and as I touched her I only recall a bright light enveloping her and her facing lighting up with joy she had never known a warmth enveloped her a love and comfort consumed her and a pair of hands held her suddenly her form changed from this gross old hag to the most beautiful angelic being I have ever seen I didn't even know such beauty could exist


Then I woke up at 9 :43 pm Christmas and simply had to share my dream with you all

Weird! Your dreams are way more intricate than mine when they don't make sense. God knows what all that is I guess.

Well dreams are a kind of gift of the spirit not every one has it but the problem is sometimes their not always from God....

Might seem a bit obvious but is there anyone you need to forgive.
The people we most need to forgive are our parents and ourselves.
Once I had a dream in which I broke down crying and was sobbing and saying
sorry to a person. It wasn't possible to say sorry in real life they were gone. But
somehow saying sorry in the dream felt real as if something had been lifted.
In that sense it is still possible to say sorry to someone or forgive someone who
is no longer around and be at peace on situations without carrying them around.

People often carry burdens around because they wished they had said sorry to
someone or told them how much they loved them before it was too late.



The old woman and rocking chair might be symbolic of the past, looking
back etc.

The thread - threads make up a picture a tapestry, maybe more symbolism of the
past and what is or has or could have been woven.


Maybe the dream was about breaking of spiritual bindings in some way.
For example despite my difficult childhood I often feel that By becoming a
Christian I somehow have broken something spiritual in my family who all
seem to have many problems. I've often felt (but don't know if it's true) that
something bad was let into the family through my grandfather.

My own mum was schizophrenic (I was brought up by my aunt)
My aunt herself had many problems was always anxious
Other aunts and uncles and my grandmother also had problems
I don't know for certain as this was many years ago but from stories
I have heard I don't think my grandfather was exactly a nice person and he
may have been the source of family member spiritual and emotional problems.
But he may also have been affected by his parents.
So in that sense by God revealing himself to my aunt (who I call mum) and
me, the generational thread was broken.

Maybe God is showing you how the wrong doing, the generational problems
in your family have been broken by you coming to Christ.


These are just my musings anyway.

Whenever I have dreams I always look in the bible and look up key points or
symbolism, themes etc. Firstly because Godly dreams will never contradict His word.
Secondly because there is a lot of symbolism in the bible, thirdly because God knows
I look in the bible and He can so arrange it that many times my dreams can highlight or
emphasise a bible truth, or point to something God wants to show me in the Bible.

I know this sounds strange but God knows our habits and He speaks to us in ways
that He knows will get through to us.


I dont know if this verse might be helpful. :) Some old paths can be good and we need to
get back on them, some old paths can be bad and need leaving behind.
The watchman in the verse where trying to help the people to get back on the good old
paths. In your dream you were almost like a watchmen but seeing someone trying to
cut the thread to the bad old paths.

Merry Christmas by the way.

Jeremiah 6:16-17 NKJV
[16] Thus says the LORD: "Stand in the ways and see, And ask for the old paths,
where the good way is, And walk in it; Then you will find rest for your souls. But they
said, 'We will not walk in it.' [17] Also, I set watchmen over you, saying, 'Listen to the
sound of the trumpet!' But they said, 'We will not listen.'

Ty for input Miri I appreciate it:) I don't think it's about forgiveness I am not one to hold a grudge I can't even stay mad at someone for more than a week and even then my anger softens day by day. I don't know a lot of symbolism in the bible as it confuses me there are so many interpretations of symbolism in scripture that I don't know which one to trust. These types of dreams are almost always revealed to me either through someone else here or in time by God himself.

Just from the dream itself what I gather is that the first dream was not from God at least not entirely satan has more than once attempted to confound me in my dreams trying to either twist or confuse the message from God in them. I honestly am not sure about a lot of the fisrt dream except that shady man that appeared to convince the little girl to willing give herself to the old lady was satan himself trying to either corrupt or destroy a pure and innocent heart and it had to be of her own free will to do so.

The second dream however seems to have a different feel to it all together. The gross looking old women could easily be a poor soul who like described in the dream has suffered greatly in life more so than the average person having no hope being uncared about and turning to darkness because of it clearly either no one was able to rescue her or no one cared to and thus her heart and soul became engrossed in damp dark and evil. It's possible she will try to trap me and will relish over my demise given power to inflict and to pour sorrow on me but perhaps the love of God that has been so deeply enriched in me will have the opposite effect and instead save her and she will know the love and light of God.

But this is only a simple look into it I feel that there is much more to be understood in this one and honestly I find it odd that I received it on Christmas I don't believe in accidents or coincidences and I haven't had a spiritual dream in quite some time so the timing is odd

For me it has all sorts of meanings.
The first one may talk about a soul tie. Sometimes people willingly make soul ties and dont get back out, though they are good people. And often others to save them come too late.

Now the 2nd one is what threw me off
Her saying '' has he sent you to punish me " has a weird taste with it that tips me towards ancestral curse or demonic hold somewhere. Now the fact that she was wet would let me think someone drowned. And Gods love in the end taking away her/its authority over you completely.

Now if we add that stuff together it can be a persona hint for you, or something that may come.
just my 2 pents

Hi Blain when I mean symbolism, I mean for example if I have a dream about ladders then I
would look up verses about ladders or stairs. Often there is something obvious or it might need
digging out like treasures in darkness. :)

Ps the feel of a dream whether it felt oppressive, exciting etc can also change the meaning.
As can colours, I've had a couple of dreams in the past with lurid sickly green hues and colouring
as if the colour settings on the TV had gone wrong. I knew these were demonic.

Spend some time in prayer, and ask the Lord what He wanted to show you (if the dream was from him). If you get nothing, it is best not given excessive meditation. Most dreams we have are from our own experiences and sub-conscious workings of our mind (not the enemy).

Dreams are an outlet of our emotions/mind that we sometimes need, and they don't always need understanding. But if one is from God, He will make it very clear.

Well I do know that there have been many stories in which one made a soul binding contract with the devil and required the victim to be willing but I have never had any insight if this was possible or not as for the second one and the has he sent you to punish me part I am not one to punish or pass judgement and the only scripture that pops into mind with this is Corinthians 6:2 Or do you not know that the saints will judge the world? And if the world is to be judged by you, are you incompetent to try trivial cases.

As for her being wet and such it may have something to do with how she died

Oh I see. Well the first dream was scary and had a kind of scary tone to it yet I also felt that I was in that dream for a purpose the second one was much more in depth for me. It hasn't been very often in life but there were times when I was in grave danger and normally I would be trembling or in fear but it's as if in that moment when I am in over my head God's spirit takes over and I can feel this courage inside me I have never known, that certainty and utter lack of fear and I recall feeling this same feeling in the dream but more than that there are also times when I can feel the spirit moving influencing my every action and words it just flows like a river and this very same feeling was also active in me when I confronted her and spoke of God and his love.

The only colors I recall seeing was that it was very dark dreary and grey in the house but the word mine shone in all the colors of the rainbow in vast brilliance

it reminded me when Jesus met the man with Legion when he said '' have you come to punish us before out time" part

that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light;
[10] who once were not a people but are now the people of God, who had not obtained mercy
but now have obtained mercy.

Nope to much sugar but I have always wanted to try it just without the alcohol. I have never been drunk but I took zzz quil to help me sleep once not even knowing it has alcohol and I think because of how strong the zzz quil itself was I got a taste of what drunk feels like I was severely dizzy my mind was in such a heavy haze and everything was spinning.

If that is what being drunk feels like then I don't get why people love being drunk( scratches head in confusion)
