Chalam - to grow strong; to dream

I was coming home with shopping to my flat, this time my real physical flat. Some people were checking out, because it was a hotel, while others were checking in.

In the flat we got a call from Eddie Edwards to say he was in the building and coming to see us. Although I didn’t know who he was, I had dreamed about him before so I was very excited. I said ‘I’ll go and meet him’ and rushed outside. There were a lot of men outside in the hall, but none of them was called Eddie Edwards. I got in the lift, which looked like a waltzer car and went down, up and around on a gold coloured rail. (unfortunately my real flat does not have one of these - maybe a suggestion for the council! )

I went down to the reception area but couldn’t find him. I got back into the wonderful elevator and when I got off I saw a woman discard a bag of shoes. Thinking they might be new, I whooshed the bag under my jacket and sneaked it back to my room, but when I opened it, all the shoes were broken. How sad

Just then Eddie Edwards phoned again and spoke to my husband for a few minutes. I decided not to go and meet him, but woke up before he arrived.

I was looking at furniture in my house (not my physical house). There was a very old chair, almost wicker in appearance, I put my glasses on to look at it and saw one woodworm hole and then another. I tipped it up and shook it and wood dust came out of it, showing that there was active woodworm in it. I thought ‘Oh no, it’s been here so long that the woodworm must have spread to everything else’.

Then I found an old pair of white boots. I tried them on and they fitted perfectly, they zipped up snugly and came to over the knee. I wondered why no boots ever seem to fit so well these days.

I went to show my mum that they still fitted. I said to her ‘I must have gotten these when I was 12!’

She said ‘Hmm, I think you were 4!’

I thought not, but put her bad memory down to old age.

Suddenly I began to feel a stinging sensation on the soles of my feet, especially the heels. I took the boots off and peered into them. In the padded lining, I could see hundreds of tiny spiders moving in and out. They Lived in the padding. Either they were ticked off because I was squashing them , or the heat from my feet had woken them up. I drenched them with anti-bacterial spray, but it just made them wet. I thought ‘Ah-ha, fly spray!’, but when I came back with it, the spiders had stared to spread out all over the place and I was fighting a losing battle trying to squish them or spray them.

The meaning of this dream is absolutely clear.

Isiah 43:18 Do not remember the former things nor consider the things of old;

19 Behold I will do a new thing, now it shall spring forth, shall you not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert.

The new season is already here, stop acting like you’re still in the old season.

SoS 2:11 For lo; the winter is over, the rain is past; it goes to itself

12 the flowers appear on the earth; the time of singing has come; the voice of the turtledove is heard in our land.

This is for the people of God; for the world, darkness grows deeper as ungodly systems continue to be shaken and fall.

I didn’t dream about Todd Agnew, but this is one of my favourite songs.

This dream started with driving in a car and coming across a car-crash. There were two cars on opposite sides of the road with people lying in and around them. I made the driver stop and ran back to try and help the victims. As I reached the first person, a gigantic bird like thing swooped out of the sky and grabbed an onlooker in its claw and ate him.

The bird was really more like a dragon but I heard in my spirit that it was a Griffin.

I heard a noise coming from the forest close to me and went over to investigate. There was a nest with some newly hatched griffin. I was horrified!

As I ran back to the cars the griffin appeared above us in the sky. Someone shouted at me to stand still as it couldn’t detect you if you kept still and quiet, but it had already seen me. As it began to home in on me, I raised my hand, which was (now and always been?) clutching a Stanley Knife. I ran with it up in the air and caught the griffin’s foot, making a small wound.

We ran to our car, police and ambulance had arrived at the car crash scene, and drove to the drivers home. I don’t know who this person is in real life, but in the dream he was my partner, not in as in marriage but as in police/detective.

We got to my partners house in Inverurie and somehow his car got clamped so I had to drive the next 20 miles home on a bicycle and a storm was brewing. Thunder was grumbling in the distance. In the middle of another forest, I saw a bright light high up in the sky.  I suddenly had telescopic vision and could see that it was the griffin, thousands of feet up in the sky. It was singing and emiting  blue and pink lights with the notes. Around its feet and partially under its feathers were more baby griffin, but they were like embryo’s without egg shells and grotesque.  People all over a certain area could see the light, and were awestruck because it was beautiful. It was like it the griffin proclaiming its dominion over this territory and itslight shone down on the earth in a circle, probably covering a 40 mile radius in Aberdeenshire.

In this dream, I was in a shop in a city, I don’t know which one. There were millions of people rushing towards airports or ferry terminals. I could see many people’s faces pushed up against the windows of the shop.

Suddenly there was a silent, bright light and all the people had vanished, except for their teeth. Parts of the roads and alleys were inches deep in teeth. Somehow my family and I had all survived whatever had happened.

All infrastructure had broken down instantly. No buses. trains, no telephone network. We were going into empty houses to find a place to rest or hopefully find food.

Then survivors began to find each other. They began to try to institute law and order.

We found ourselves in a large building with brown, velvet covered chairs, set in a semi-circle as far as I could see. I saw an old friend and went over to speak to her. She wanted me to sit next to her, but the seats she was sitting in had to be paid for and I didn’t have enough money. All the seats looked the same, but some were designated for wealthy people. I pulled a chair over and sat in front of her ‘area’.

A large screen came to life and a man started to speak. He was or had taken the position of leader. He had dark blond hair and glasses, he was similar to a young Robert Redford. As I watched him, I somehow remembered that in a dream or a book, I’d seen this scenario played out before, and this man was about to be assassinated by the one who was the real power behind the scenes.

I turned to my friend and said ‘He’s going to be assassinated’ then woke up.

My dad passed away suddenly on the 25th sept so I haven’t had many dreams or, til now, the desire to keep up with the blog, but I’m getting back to the new ‘normal’.

A couple of dreams stuck with me, I can’t remember when I had them, but in the last two weeks certainly.

First dream:-  A public phone box was ringing and I went in to answer it. A cousin called Marilyn was on the phone, trying to phone me. I was so surprised! How did she know that I would answer this phone? Well she seemed to be annoyed at me for not keeping in touch, but I was still so surprised that I couldn’t answer back.

After I hung up, I notices a purse tucked behing a shelf. It was probably about the size of an A5 sheet of paper and greyish. I opened it to see what was inside. There was some soft keyring toys, a £10 note folded into a zipped compartment at the back and also 2 folded bank notes which, when opened up, said ‘Jewish Bank’ (I’m obviously not very currency aware in my sleep!). I also found a Bible. It was blue at the top of the cover and towards the bottom, covered in very fine golf-leaf. The page edges were covered with gold leaf too and I was in awe at how beautiful it was!

I looked inside it to see if i could find an owner (it did fleetingly cross my mind to keep the £10 but I chose to be honest). There was a name and address but it was difficult to read, very scribbley. In the dream, I recognised the town, but it was very far from where I was. My daughter recognised the name but didn’t know where the female owner lived. I purposed to keep it and if the owner shouldever return to claim it back, I would gladly hand it over.

Then the dream changed and I was at my dad and step-mother’s house (both deceased in RL). My dad liked the bible and wanted to keep it, my step-mother wanted to put it in a cupboard and hide it. I took it but can’t remember what I did with it after that.

Then I asked my dad if I could sleep in the double bed, as I couldn’t rest in any of the others, he said I could, but when I went to put the Bible safely away, he sneaked in and was lying with a white sheet with small blue flowers, over his head.

Second dream:-My house had a round clock tower, but no clock. One night, an owl flew in and made its home there. It’s face was where the clock face would be. I looked at it and thought ‘Oh good, that’ll kill all the rats’

After that there was some stuff about working as a waiterss in a restaurant, but I think there has been two and I can’t seperate them so I’ll leave it at that for now.

In the dream, I was in a hospital to get a blood test.

I think it was to determine the level of oxygen in my blood.

A nurse called Gina was going to take the blood sample and went to get a needle and syringe.

While she was gone, Sally Jessie Raphael (a talk show hostess from the US) came to me. She was dressed very nicely and had red rimmed glasses on, not like a doctor or nurse. She had a large syringe that was already almost full of other peoples blood and she said she had to get some of mine.

I was worried about the health implications of the whole procedure, but before I could protest, she shoved a large needle into a vein in my right arm. I could feel it going in and it was painful!

She got about a thimble-full of my blood and then some people, possibly including Gina, came and chased her away. The last thing I remember was SJR being taken to court and charged with plotting something.

Two posts in one day! This is a fresh dream.

My friend has recieved a word ‘Those who were active in the nuclear incident in 1983 will be back.

I took her to church and introduced her to the Pastor and his wife. They seemed a bit somber. We all sat down, but seemed to be facing the back of the church. However the worship started and that was fine.

Then the Pastor came together with a comittee of 3 to question my friend and she told them once again ‘Those who were active in the nuclear incident in 1983 will be back’.

Then the phone rang and it was my friend’s husband. I said ‘Do you wnat to speak to M? and he replied in a very angry voice ‘I certainly do not want to speak to her!’

A group of people arrived at my house, uninvited and unexpected, to hold a prayer meeting.
There was about 30 of them. Most I didn’t know. But some I did
They wanted me to give them a word from the bible.
I had a bible in my hand, but as I looked at it, all I could find was indexes and appendages.

I moved to put it back in the bookcase, thinking I must have the wrong book, but when I looked, it was an Amplified bible, so began to search again.

I found the passage I was looking for, in Deuteronomy.
I started to read, but when I looked up and back again, the words had gone!
I rememberd what it was so carried on speaking, but it all fell on deaf ears. I could have read a news report.

At that moment my husband came in.
He had found a newborn, baby boy abandoned on the doorstep.
It still had the cord attached and it was very cold. I could hear his heartbeat so I held it close to try and warm it up.

********************************************

This is the meaning of the dream.

The Lord showed me a book. On one page was ‘Logic and Knowledge’.

On the opposite page was ‘walking in the Spirit’

I knew without a doubt that I have been waking in ‘knowledge and logic’.

The Amplified Bible had words added to it - even thought they are words of explanation and not bad - but the passage I was trying to read in ‘Deuteronomy’ isn’t actually there.  It’s actually in the Mishnah. So while there is nothing wrong with these things in themselves, or books in general, it’s how they are used that can come between a person and God. Other books have knowledge, but no power. Only the Bible is the Living Word of God

Heb 4:12 For the Word of God is living and powerful and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing apart of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

I certainly would have considered that I was walking ‘in the Spirit’ until the Lord showed me through scripture that I certainly was not. I don’t know what the baby means as yet, but I’m sure it will be revealed at the proper time.

This dream was a week or two ago, but I can’t forget it, it keeps coming back.

I was in a public swimming pool. There were lots of school children there, they were all jumping in, but they were getting hurt somehow. I was standing at the edge, longing to go in. I couldn’t see how the kids were getting hurt, but I was meeting them at the far end of the pool and helping them out. I remember one boy saying his chest bone had been broken.

Then 4 teachers came in. They were wearing designer clothes and were going to dive into the pool to raise money for charity. They looked quite ridiculous, but they were lapping up all the attention. They had everyone line up at the sides of the pool to watch them.

This morning I had a dream which really puzzles me, I think I roughly know what the dream above means, but not this one.

I was visiting aunt (by an ex-marriage) and her parents were there. In real life (RL), they died about 10 and 25 years ago, but in the dream they were alive and fit. The Dad had dark hair again, although he’d always been grey when I knew him.

I thought ‘How sad that he has outlived his son and grandson’ - but in RL, they are still alive!

It was almost christmas, they has a massive roll of wrapping paper, and they had Nicky’s miracle cakes (’even the baker doesn’t really know how they’re made’) but they were most amazed by a packet of bacon (also Nicky’s) because the plastic wrapping could unfold like a book without ripping or damaging the goods inside!

I saw out the window. A young woman kept coming to the back door with things. No-one answered the door even though they knew she was there. The things she brought got bigger and bigger, the last thing being a golf cart (!). I went out and asked her what she was doing.

She was trying to give away free gifts so that people would buy an undefined product, and she would get the comission, because she desperately needed money.

I told her I didn’t have money to give her, but I took her hand and prayed with her, that God would supply all her needs.
