Dreams about various events or traumatic events that stir extreme aspects of emotion. Extreme joy, extreme sadness. Extreme anger or extreme frustration.
When I dream about being back in high school it is usually consisting of me trying to get to a math class that I haven't attended all year and I need a passing grade in order to graduate. I haven't done any of the homework and yet I'm thinking to myself, "why am I here? Do I really need to be here right now since I've already gone to college?".
Recently I had a seemingly prophetic dream about my friend Ana and how she was accepted by her church to become a fulltime missionary over seas... I texted her the following day (Monday) and told her about it because it was such an emotionally joyful dream. She told her final interview to do just that was Tuesday. She texted me Tuesday evening and told me she was indeed accepted into the program and would be leaving in a few months to pursue being a full time missionary through her church!....FREAKY
I've had very few dreams that seem to some what mention true things about future news, events or approaching seasons of life. Never big events like political or destruction. More the feeling and understanding that perhaps because this persons spirit is kindered or connecting with mine via Jesus and his heart and compassion about the understanding of His compassion and our calling and purpose to seek his heart and pray what He prays, I am compelled and convicted to pray for these people no matter how long it's been and it brings me to connect with them via letter or text or phone call and check in. It's amazing but can also be very intimidating. But as I've said before... God likes when I'm uncomfortable and so it is the continual surrender of my comforts and abiding in what He would like me to pursue. He places these things in me as I rest the tent he has given me.
I am amazed by my brain and my spirit colliding at times. To feel so overwhelmed in that moment by what was seemingly the end of the world or the hardest struggles in life was being IN High school, seems to, now, be a calming mechanism within me to say that things seemed easier back then and honestly if I could get through that, I really could get through anything else...
The underlying message, "you'll come through, God will provide. In another 2 years or so you will be at a different season where you are humbled and thankful for what currently is".
Other dreams I've had recently include heading to the mountain after a seeming long yet short drive and realizing that: A. Boots are buried in the snow
B. Boots are missing
C. Not fitting my bindings
D. Boots fit great but I've forgotten my skis.E. Skis have been misplaced or stolen
F. Poles are lost in a used gear store and people think I'm trying to steal them
G. Stuck on the longest lift ride
H. skiing but not enough snow.
Clearly I need to remedy these thoughts and yearnings with obsessively double checking my packing and get my butt up to the mountain.What dreams may come... At least I haven't been talking nearly as much as I used to in my sleep. At least that is my hope considering I haven't heard my husband mention anything lately.
