one of the gifts i gave frank for father's day was a book by joseph prince--"destined to reign"--i have to tell you, he loves it and i cannot put it down--i should finish it today or tomorrow---it is about the gospel of grace--
this post involves two subjects i pretty much shy away from---religion and politics-----but something has nudged me to share---
this book is teaching me so much---it is renewing my spirit and releasing condemnation-----if you are a believer or just curious---i can highly recommend this book-
okay the other part---it has to do with my "dreams"----i hope you all are not tired of hearing me talk about my dreams----and as i have some new followers---i hope i will not offend any of you or let you know too early, how crazy i sound----
first the not political re-occurring dreams------
we have been in the home we live now, since 1986----it was sort of a quick decision to move and opportunity-----
for all of these years, i have this dream where, we give up this house and move back to the last house we had---now the house we live in now is nice--but it's not like we went from a dump to a mansion and it is not that we don't like where we are and consiously long to return to the old home--
but this dream happens about every few weeks--so i had it again the other night---this time, it was just me there--
i have also just recently had a dream several times where i am bleeding--i think i may be having a misscarriage in my dream---let me assure you--to my knowledge i am not pregnant!
okay so now the maybe kinda controversial dream---not re-occurring--yet--
certainly most of us have heard of the fast and furious thing in the news and the so-called security leaks--i only mention them, to say---they could very well be why i dreamed this next dream--
i once was political but now i am very much not political------
i had a dream where one side had a major scandal---it was like when it came to the election--it was just a formality---and the side without the scandal won of course----it was revealed to me who that was----i have had one other political dream----it was more like a vision coming to me in a dream----and it turned out to come true-----
again, i hope none of this bothers anyone---but if we write---we must share ourselves as best we can---happy reading and dreaming--
funny, I also have a recurring dream where I am living in a house I used to live in (a rented house in MA, I might add) and wondering why I gave up my house here (a house I own in ME). I still haven't figured this one out. Even more strange, I had this dream again last night! The circumstances are always a little different but I'm always back there and wondering why.
ReplyDeletethat's the same dream it sounds just like mine---must mean something huh! thanks!!
Deletebeing pregnant I have some of the awesomest dreams and some of the most scary dreams.
ReplyDeleteoh yes i remember that well---but the strange thing is i don't remember when i was pregnant, dreaming about the baby or pregnancy--and since i have been past those years, i dream i am pregnant very often! so happy for you brownie--such a sweet time of your life!
DeleteLynn, I am amazed that your house dream occurs so often. It must be disatisfaction of something in your life that you really want to change. I have sometimes had a recurring dream about living in a house with my parents, but discovering there were other rooms. It was very exciting to discover these other rooms. I sometimes dream that I have a baby (I am childless I think.) That is a very happy dream.
ReplyDeleteVery interesting post!
i think it means something like that too--maybe it is simply because my mortgage was less there----i too have dreams where certain houses have different rooms, i discover--sometimes in my dreams, i think, man this is a pretty great design--i hope i remember it haha----if you desire a baby, then i wish and pray that for you--thanks monica :)
DeleteOops! funny, I said, I am childless "I think." I started to write that I am beyond the child-bearing years, I think....
ReplyDeleteoh okay----you never know!
DeleteI once read that a house symbolizes yourself, and that the rooms are different aspects of your personality. I found this site that breaks down symbolic meanings of parts of a house as well. It's pretty interesting. http://www.dreammoods.com/dreamthemes/house.htm
ReplyDeletehey there--nice to see ya here!!!! i will have to look that one up--thanks---hope you guys are well and having a great day<3 ya!!
DeleteI have heard that too. I was about to post the same! I have a house dream often where it always has extra nooks and rooms when I need them. I feel refreshed by this dream and someone said I am compartmentalizing the clutter in my life. Love the post!
Deletethat may be what i am doing too--i hate clutter--so that makes perfect sense--thanks jennifer!
DeleteWow do you have a dream journal? You should keep one, perhaps signals are trying to get through.
ReplyDeletehaha--no, but once in a blue moon i get up and write one down--thanks rch :)
DeleteDreams are fascinating, especially when they reoccur. They have to be trying to tell us something, right? I often dream that I'm back in school and have forgotten to attend an important class--for the entire semester. I still haven't figured out what this is supposed to mean. ; )
ReplyDeletehaha i dream that one too--and i am always dreaming, i am back in high school, but i am the age i am now and i know i don't really have to be there!
DeleteThey have said that dreams can actually be a way of revealing. When I think about it, I think it has been awhile since I dreamed anything. I have so many nights I have a hard time falling asleep and those sleepless nights that I think my mind is just too tired to dream or something. :(
ReplyDeletethey say we dream all night long--when we are asleep that is---but rarely remember!
Deletewell thank you so much for the wonderful encouragement friend!!
ReplyDeleteI've had recurring dreams in the past - not for a while though. These days I rarely remember what I was dreaming about.
ReplyDeletei know what you mean--i am sure i am not remembering very many of mine!
DeleteGod has quite the history of speaking in dreams, dear Lynn.
ReplyDeleteHe does that, suze!
DeleteI don't have identical recurring dreams, but I have many of the same themes. I do think they say something of our unconsciousness, but whether we can interpret them or not is another matter!
ReplyDeleteyeah mine are not usually identical but about the same things----i think i need a full-time position interpreting them!
DeleteI recently had a dream that we moved back to our old house that we haven't lived in for twenty-two years. Certain things about it were different and it also had additional rooms. I never gave it much thought, but now wonder what it meant. It was a smaller house and a simpler life. Maybe I wish to go back to easier times.
ReplyDeleteAs for the politics, you're leaving us blank by not telling about the scandal. It's probably for the best that you do not reveal. I see this as a critical election. I'm so scared of America being run by a sociopath who would legislate according to the ridiculously wealthy and the Mormon church rather than by what is best for the 99%! I'm not shy about talking politics, am I? ;)
http://joycelansky.blogspot.com
that is kinda like my dream too---and i think your observations are probably right on----hahaha i will have to wink at you on part of the political stuff and say i hear ya :)
DeleteIf I remember correctly, houses in dreams stand for your body. Maybe you did something in the old house you don't do now?
ReplyDeleteAlso: I believe firmly that people should post to their blogs what they feel needs posting :)
that's what my "dil" adie says about the house dream---and thanks for that vote of encouragement about posting what i feel!
DeleteDreams don't bother me...unless they're mine. LOL Seriously, I am intrigued by dreams. I'm in a dream phase right now- I should write these things down!
ReplyDeleteyou should---i would love to hear about them!
DeleteI usually can barely remember my dreams after awakening and that is a good thing because they are so totally stupid. Not weird, stupid, senseless.
ReplyDeleteI am not an expert, I hope your recurring dreams are not indicative of any sort of problem. When I suffered from depression I was asked about A. Recurring dreams and B. Do I hear voices. So it sounds serious. But I dunno.
Best regards Lynn.
i don't think it is anything to worry about--honestly--i should just come out and admit that i do believe a lot of my dreams have a specific meaning--and sometimes, it is just revealed later---thanks anthony :)
DeleteI don't think you need to appologize for what you're writing or dreaming. The going back dream is curious. Do you have unfinished business back there? Keep dreaming. It's what we creative minds do best.
ReplyDeletePlay off the Page
thank you mary---i don't think i have unfinished business there--:)
DeleteThanks for the book recommendation. It sounds wonderful!
ReplyDeletei hope you get a chance to read it--let me know if you do--thanks dana!
DeleteVery interesting dream--don't know what it means--but you shouldn't be afraid to share it. Thanks for the book recommendation.
ReplyDeletethanks clarissa!! i hope you like it if you read it!
DeleteI rarely remember my dreams, but used to dream about a former home, over and over again. Occasionally I will have glimpses of having dreamed about it, now, but never remember much. I think our dreams can tell us a lot about ourselves and are also a good way to problem solve. I just wish I could recall mine!
ReplyDeletei think you are right--i know--i wish i remembered like i used to also!
DeleteHi Lyn,
ReplyDeleteIsn't it interesting how we dream and thanks for the book recommendation.
Happy Wednesday
Carolyn
i know--it's crazy sometimes---i hope you like it!
DeleteI'll have to check out that book; wonder if it would make a good book to discuss in a small group setting?
ReplyDeletebetty
oh i think it would make an excellent book to discuss or study--i am trying to talk frank into teaching it!
DeleteI rarely ever dream. I hate it! I wish I did.
ReplyDeleteI believe there are underlying meanings to dreams so I would be curious to find out what the meanings of yours are. Very interesting!
they say you dream all night--just that most people don't remember---thanks heather!
DeleteLynn, do you know the above olmpic station park? It came up as spam in my email, and I've seen it on half the blogs I've viewed today. The exact same mesg. Just wanted to let you know. I got rid of it.
ReplyDeleteI think dreams - and yours - are fascinating. Writing them down might prove very revealing. I agree that there are sometimes important messages there. :-)
ReplyDeletei tend to agree that sometimes there is a message--thanks mare :)
DeleteThat's a brilliant idea to write all my dreams, I am starting it. Would be interesting to see what happens and which dreams will come true. :)
ReplyDeletei know--it is a great idea--i would write them down if i could remember all of them in the morning, it is just such a pain to get up in the middle of the night--thanks marina :)
Deletethanks rajesh :)
ReplyDeleteI keep a notebook by my bed for the same purpose. My problem is, by the time I'm conscious and aware enough to remember I need to write my dream I've forgotten it. I wish I could remember my dreams better.
ReplyDeleteSarah Allen
(my creative writing blog)
haha i am the same way, sarah :)
Deletei have seen them comment on 2 of my blogs--i was wondering about--thank mare!
ReplyDeleteI have recurring dreams, usually about teaching. I also have dreams where it seems to be a precursor to something coming. Twice the dreams came to pass.
ReplyDeletethat's cool--i guess, if they were good ones--thanks susan :)
DeleteI analyze my dreams. You should write your dreams down and date them.
ReplyDeleteYou should write what you feel or think about on your blog! I like "real". :) Have a great day!
oh cool--yeah my daughter looks up meanings sometimes--- thanks for the support--i like real too :)
DeleteIn dreams our subconscious if free to show any kind of combinations of experiences . The dream where you returned to past times and places is not unusual, we often long to return to a time when everything was more simple. I keep a journal by my bedside. Deciphering these sleepy notes takes imagination ;)
ReplyDeleteyeah i might start doing that too--thanks elaine :)
DeleteLast week a chef contestant from a cooking reality show was in my dream and was very evil - definitely a sign I've been watching too many cooking shows. Or I was hungry.
ReplyDeletehaha---that's cute----isn't it funny how we can dream about people we don't know--it must be something in that person that triggers some kind of emotion--thanks tonja :)
DeleteI used to have serialised dreams. The events would continue to advance over the nights, lol.
ReplyDeletewow that is really cool---thanks lynda :)
DeleteThose dreams sound intense. I don't know. I used to ponder what my dreams meant, now I just worry about my writing and plots. Sad, I know. Have a great weekend.
ReplyDeletei know what ya mean--my dreams really don't help me, since i do not write science fiction or horror--haha jk kinda--thanks mina :)
DeleteSometimes I think we're sisters. We are alike sometimes.
ReplyDeleteI rarely talk politics or religion except on my Sunday post and that's to share my faith.
I too have dreams that are telltale sort of. If I dream of someone then the next day I ususally see them either on TV (famous) or in person. My thing is visions. I get vision thingies or a "feeling" and those things usually come true. It used to freak out my daughter now she's used to it. I think.
haha well i would be honored to have you as a sister!!--i know, i freak people out sometimes too--i just recently have started to share more--thanks teresa :)
