--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

this morning i woke from such a strange dream that i thought it nonsense at first but now i'm not sure.

the dream begins with my husband cheating on me (have had these dreams for weeks now) but quickly he is out of the dream and i am mourning losing him i think. my head is in my hands as i'm crying and when i look up and move my hands i'm in front of a mirror and my teeth have fallen out. three of them are in my hand. i'm appaled at the sight of myself.

suddenly i'm in a church. i know it is an old pentecostal church somehow ( don't know how i know it is that denomination, just know it in the dream.)Anyway, i note that there are choir robes that no one is wearing and no one is singing along with the worship music that is sort of hanging in the air. i begin to sing and praise and the people are getting annoyed with me. pretty soon it is time for the sermon to begin and everyone is sort of disinterested, including the pastor. he is reading a verse here and there and talking gibberish, but not heatedly or with any sort of emotion. i realize then that this church is full of "dead" people. (in the dream i think "dead" people specifically). meanwhile, my daughter is in front of the congregation making some sort of paper animals with writing on them. i try to get her to stop because church is no place for that but she doesn't hear or respond to me, just keeps making many, many of these paper beings with writing on them.

The place changes and i'm looking at myself in a mirror and examining my hair and i see lice. ick.!!!!!!!!!!! i see them in my hair and am disgusted again.

that is how the dream ends.

weired huh? is there any significance to this or am i just becoming a weired dreamer? i have dreams almost every night that i remember in detail. most i keep track of but forget quickly or remember when something happens in real waking life that relates to them. sometimes i'm certain they have spiritual significance but i don't always know what it is. this one has me stumped because i can't shake it but i'm not sure if it is because it was so gross or because it means something i need to know or learn.

if The Lord leads you, please tell me what this might mean.

thanks and Shalom- a

Teeth generally mean the relationships we have.

When scripture refers to breaking the enemy's teeth, it is saying to break their power in the alliances and relationships they have...which is strength.

They also refer to relationships because each one has a twin.

When teeth fall out, it usually means that the relationships are either coming apart, but it is more a warning to notice the relationships in our lives that need attention in prayer.

You had three fall out. You mention three relationships.

Your husband
Your church (which includes your daughter in this scene)
Yourself

Your husband was leaving you. Tooth #1

Your church has no intimacy. No relationship to each other. Paper anything is easily crumbled, burnt, cut, etc. Tooth #2

You have lice on your head. This is accusation or judgement upon yourself. Tooth #3

What's interesting is I note that all three represent a covering. Your husband, your church, your head.

Three represents the fullness of the Godhead - Father, Son, Holy Spirit. He is your covering. He is the One you need to heed.

I may be way off but it seems that maybe you are at a crossroads and the Lord is saying to pray NOW for grace to be upon yourself, give yourself grace.... and for the relationships between your husband and the Lord, and then his relationship to you, as well as your churchs relationship to the Lord, and their relationship with the Body.

Grace Grace Grace.

Of course, if this is way off, it never hurts, only helps to pray this for them anyway....

Blessings,
Darlene

sadly, what you said rings true. i have felt an unrest in my spirit for some time, especially at my church, which i have loved and been an active member of for years. i have noticed that something is just "off" with my relationships lately and i've been even more critical than normal with myself. i keep trying harder to do better and change my attitude. still, all i feel is tired.
i try not to "judge myself" but i'm so often wrong and lacking.

i don't know how to pray about this.

i do appreciate your response and will try to pray harder or better somehow.

thanks- andora

[Itisdonerev21]

sweet sister,

if I may say, don't try to pray harder. Just receive His grace. His amazing grace and His awesome love for you. I think thats why He gave you this dream in three's. So that you could be comforted in the midst knowing that He is right on this one. You are not alone and He will never leave you nor forsake you. He is your covering and He will keep you in the safest place - even emotionally.

Receive. Receive...Receive.......

Blessings,
Darlene

i want so much to receive. i want to love and forgive like Him and sometimes i think i will never be able to love until i can receive His love and forgiveness myself but i don't know how. i try to, i really do but it never really "sticks". i don't know what to do.
sorry- i'm not usually so morose- i'm just concerned. i want to be in God's grace, i want to live for Him. i just feel like i've failed Him, again.

[thewritingmommy]

Darlene, i feel so much better now than a few hours ago. i have prayed, not harder as i thought i needed to, but expectantly as you suggested. i know i am His. I have been studying the Torah and praying for The Lord to bring to mind any sins i have not confessed and repenting as this is the season of Rosh Chodesh. I hadn't connected this to the dreams but perhaps it is somehow related.
You response about receiving His grace and mercy came just before Rosh Ha Shanah and i'm so thankful. I was so accustomed to convicting and condemning myself, i might have missed this blessed conclusion without it.

I just wanted to thank you again.

sincerely, andora
