Ocean creeping onto the streets; Traveling to higher ground.

[Realisticdreamz]

I am standing on a sidewalk watching blue deep ocean water begin to creep into the street which is in front of me, from my right to the left. It was not violently moving but had the appearance of very deep water, like out in the ocean when the water is rather rough on the top. A young girl falls into the street and she appears to be paralyzed with fear. Concerned, concerned that she may get washed away by the ocean waters, I am willing to risk my life to help her before she gets washed away by the waters. I reach into the middle of the street where she is to help her onto the higher ground. The sidewalk begins to crack and cave in a bit. I am able to get to her and safely pull her onto the ground and then the ocean water begins creeping onto the higher ground also. I and the young girl go into a store (I believe a mall, but could have been a grocery store) to try and stay ahead of the approaching waters. The store was a way through to the higher ground at the other doors. I notice glass doors in the front of the store and water begins creeping in there also as we head quickly into the store.

Next, my two daughters and I are walking to higher ground. I believe we are walking as to not get stuck in vehicles in the streets due to the approaching waters making the streets impassable. But for some strange reason, they stop at a red traffic light in the street as cars stop at the traffic light. Many others are stopped also, but I am feeling the need to keep moving, and do not feel the necessity to stop there and so I continue, thinking they will catch up shortly.

I get to higher ground which appears like as far as you could go on land. I had the feeling that the next block was on or at an ocean. The place is not familiar to me. I observe a rather large, tall concrete building that I am facing across the street, many stories high and rather wide with many windows in it.

Again, ocean water begins pouring on the streets there also, coming from the same direction from my right moving towards the left. I got the impression there is an ocean in front of me, or beach, one more block to the right.

I have the feeling it is a government building, maybe national reserves or FEMA. I see some men in military attire who appear to be emergency response teams in the streets. One of the vehicles driving through the water on the street was a military type camouflage jeep. There was also a policeman in the street on a horse.

Now I believe I am a hotel, nearby? My oldest daughter arrives without her youngest sister. I ask where her sister is and she tells me, “she got tired of waiting at the red light and went back.” I am just about furious with her for leaving her sister alone. I was greatly concerned that the waters would eventually hinder or make the streets impassable. I told her that she should not have left here because we may NEVER be able to go back and need to stay together. (anticipating that the streets and city behind us may all be underwater soon).

With urgency, I get in touch with the manager of the hotel where my youngest daughter was staying by phone in order to reach my youngest daughter. The manager was kind enough to find the room where she is staying so I could reach her by phone. I call my daughter and tell her to start coming my way and I would meet her halfway… then I decided that was risky because something else could come up and so I told her, get ready to leave, I am coming to get you (to go all the way to pick her up). I scolded the older daughter for leaving her sister. I was getting ready to go get her… EOD.

This may be a personal dream; but I am not understanding the meaning. Any inspiration or thoughts are appreciated.

Hi Jewels, I hope all is well with you and your family.

Actually, I live in Northeast Florida just southwest of Jacksonville... close to the St Johns River and not too far from the Atlantic Ocean on the east coast.

We have had our share of tropical storms but I have never seen any flooding or anything like the dream here where I live. And we have never experienced an earthquake to my knowledge.

I thought it might be personal and symbolic because my two daughters were in the dream (I also had another dream of streaming flooding water with them in it). One of my daughters lives hundreds of miles away... the one I was going back to get so that she wasn't left alone and stranded.

Though, I still do not understand the meaning of this dream.

Dear Realisticdreamz

What an amazing dream! So full of descriptive words. Here is what my thoughts are about the dream.

I believe the blue deep ocean water, moving, flood (divine assistance) – they all can represent the Holy Spirit. Each word describes Him, the color the depth and He is the ‘Living Water’ and as you recognize His MOVE, you begin to seek higher ground. He leads us to higher places in Him. Water also test our foundations, those built on sand will crumble, those on the rock will stand. You help others along the way, even deliver some and guide them to the mall – which could represent the church, a safe place of spiritual growth and revelation, a place of preparation of spiritual food.

Daughters can represent your children, your future, or other female believers that you are ‘walking with in faith’. The traffic/red light can represent waiting on God, His guidance and timing. You don’t feel to wait and continue on your spiritual journey with the Holy Spirit. I believe the large concrete building and the adjectives you use to describe it indicate ‘The Kingdom of God’, a strong tower and fortress, a sure foundation, a place of power and authority. As well as a government building, indicating spiritual authority, police, horse. A white horse with a rider can represent Jesus – The captain of the host. Even the jeep represents spiritual warefare.

The beach/ocean on the other side of the building may represent the world, a boundary where souls are won or lost. In your dream it seems the Holy Spirit is slowing but steadily pursuing people to a place of decision (the beach), stay lost in the ocean or come to the place of safety/authority and provision.

Your daughter turning back, getting tired of waiting may represent your daughter or someone you are walking with, or part of your future, turning back from a disappointment or unbelief that God will come and assist in her time of need. But no fear, the kind manager of the hotel (a temporary place of rest) may be another symbol of Jesus and your communication to her is that she will not need to walk alone – you will come and walk with her.

I think this is an awesome dream of a move of God in your region, drawing believers to higher ground/revelation of Him, and unbelievers to a place of decision. You will be right in the middle of it ; yeah God! You will be used to guide them into His kingdom and into higher ground. You will even recognize those that through loss and disappointment are turning back and go out to bring them back into His move and destiny for them. Be blessed, this is a life giving dream I believe to reassure you that HE IS ON THE MOVE and you will respond. You have His heart, that no one be left behind! HE LOVES THAT ABOUT YOU!!!

This old song was stuck in my head the other day. "Higher Ground". I immediately thought of it when I read your dream.
