REPOST: Riding a Bike - 12/31/08

Post by NOTW »

I've been asking the Lord for a dream regarding our New Year's Eve service tonight and so...

There are many parts to this dream but I want to focus on two...

I'm riding a red bicycle, w/ black tires about 3 inches wide (bigger than normal tires). The bike is very tall and I'm aware that if I fall off, it will hurt b/c the height of the bicycle is twice as high as a regular bicycle. So, I'm riding this bicycle to the event at my church and I'm riding it down the same road that my church is on. I'm thinking that I don't want to be late so I need to hurry. I'm peddling very fast but I'm a little scared b/c I don't want to fall.

As I'm riding down the road, there are 4 people on bicycles coming my way and driving on the wrong side of the road! (My side) It was a woman and 3 children. I was able to drive through them without incident and had to place my hand on the woman's sholder as I rode by to steady myself.

I continue driving and there are these kids that are all over the road. There are 4 of them also. I barely miss wrecking and I was actually going into a curve and had to lean far right to avoid taking a spill. Next, there were 4 young black men ahead on the same kind of bikes that I was on. I knew that I was about to pass them b/c I was peddling faster than they were. Well for some reason they didn't want me to pass them and they tried to make me wreck. I even was pushed off the side of the road and had to ride in the grass a short ways. I was very frustrated and was asking them why they wouldn't just leave me alone. Anyway, somehow I passed them and continued to my church.

I made it to church, parked my bike, and signed this sheet stating that I was in attendance (I was still a little late though). As I enter the church, I'm looking around for people that I go to church with and I see several people from the community (but who do not attend my church). I notice that our church now has stadium seating (IRL it doesn't) and I try to settle in a pew and get my mind focused on worshipping God. The person leading worship was very disturbing and she was rubbing her chest and then drinking alcohol and spewing it out. I was very upset about this and then I decided to give it the benefit of the doubt b/c maybe she was doing a skit that would reveal God's hand. (B/c I came in late, I wasn't sure if it was announced that it was a skit or not.)

Any input would be very welcomed and appreciated!

After reading your dream what came to mind was healing. I saw a child that had a hard time when growing up and may have seen some bad stuff. I saw God wanting to heal the wounds of the past.

I may be wrong but I believe that God is wanting to heal some areas of your life.

Thanks Travis - I had a great childhood. My parents have been married for over 30 years and my dad is very gentle and loving and my mom has never let me lack for anything. I don't think this is what the dream means. Thank you for putting your inquiry out there though! Many blessings to you!
