Two Dreams - One Meaning?

These two dreams happened within one month of each other.

In the first dream, I was standing at a particular street intersection in Toronto, looking North, and started to walk towards a certain building I could see. In the distance, a big storm was forming and I knew I needed to get to that building fast, before the storm hit the area. When I got there, the clouds were already invading the building, and they were beautiful, with the colours of the sunset. I reached for the cloud and was able to touch it, and even get a pinch of it. It had the texture of a mix between felted wool and cotton candy. As I touched it, I felt the electricity in it, and knew it was dangerous. Having that pinch of the cloud connected me to the storm and its power, and I could feel and see little sparks, lightning and energy.

In the second dream, I needed to start a small fire, inside a room which was clad in wood panelling, similar to what my family room looks like. I could see my husband and son waiting for me to start the fire, but I was a little frustrated, because even though I had the skills and all the elements, I was unable to light the fire. There was a sense of danger, because I had piled the firewood very close to the wall, and I knew that if I successfully lit that fire, it would spread to the entire room and burn everything in it. Even so, I knew I needed to do this.

This morning in church, I was reading both dreams from pieces of paper I had scribbled them on, and had tucked inside my bible, and suddenly I knew they were connected. I shared the second dream with my friend Rita, and she said the likely meaning is that the Holy Spirit wants to do something seemingly dangerous to me, that will spread like fire on that room. I want it contained, He wants it to spread.

Today, with the help of my husband and the Holy Spirit, I think I understood the connection between them, in that even though I am a bit afraid of the power of the Holy Spirit, and its effect in my life, I am keen on experiencing it. I have been asking Daddy God to reveal himself in my life, and He has said to me "come on up". I believe once He lets me experience his presence more deeply, his power will wreck my barriers and limitations, and most importantly, my pride. I want this.

What do you think?

Estos dos sueños ocurrieron en el transcurso de un mes.

En el primer sueño, yo estaba de pie en una cierta esquina en Toronto, mirando hacia el norte. Empecé a caminar hacia un edificio. A lo lejos, una tormenta empezaba a formarse, y yo sabía que tenía que llegar al edificio rápido, antes que la tormenta llegara. Cuando llegué, las nubes ya invadían el edificio, y eran hermosas, con los colores del atardecer. Yo extendí la mano hacia la nube, y logre tocarla, y hasta quitarle un pedacito. La nube tenía la textura de una mezcla entre fieltro y algodón de azúcar. Cuando la toqué, sentí la electricidad en ella, y supe que tocarla era peligroso. Tener ese pedazo de nube me conectaba a la tormenta y su poder, y yo podía ver y sentir chispitas, rayos y energía.

En el segundo sueño, yo necesitaba encender una pequeña fogata, dentro de una habitación recubierta de paneles de madera, similares a los que recubren la sala de estar de mi casa. Podía ver a mi esposo e hijo frente a mi, esperando que encendiera el fuego, pero yo estaba un poco frustrada porque a pesar de que tenía todos los elementos y habilidades, no lograba encender el fuego. Había un sentir de peligro porque yo había apilado la leña muy cerca de la pared, y sabia que si lograba encender ese fuego, se extendería a toda la habitación, y quemaría todo. Aún así, yo sabia que era necesario que lo hiciera.

Esta mañana cuando estaba en la iglesia, leí los dos sueños que había garabateado en pedazos de papel, y guardado en mi biblia. De pronto, supe que los dos sueños estaban conectados. Mi amiga Rita me dio una posible interpretación del segundo sueño, el del fuego, y me dijo que el Espíritu Santo quiere hacer algo grande, que yo lo quiero contener, pero El quiere que se esparza.


Con la ayuda de mi esposo, y del Espíritu Santo, creo entender la conexión entre los dos sueños, que es que aunque le tengo miedo al poder del Espíritu Santo y a su efecto en mi vida, aun así anhelo experimentarlo. Le he estado pidiendo a Papá Dios que se revele mas profundamente en mi, y El me ha contestado: "Sube". Creo que una vez que pueda experimentar esa revelación de su presencia mas fuertemente, su poder destruirá mis barreras y limitaciones, y lo mas importante, mi orgullo.
Anhelo esto.

  3. The final 2 sentences in this post astonish me - Our pastor spoke this morning of the exact same thing - Rev 4:1 (titled in my bible as Worship in Heaven), John heard "Come up here..." spoken by Jesus. He does want to show us what is on His heart. It's amazing to me that Holy Spirit is saying to you and to me the same thing - one on one side of the big lake and the other on the other side - hearing the Spirit say the same thing !!!

  5. I believe the Lord speaks to us through our dreams, too. Most of the time, I do not try to figure them out, but I always say in my heart, "Let Your will be done." I find that day by day, my life becomes a new page upon which the Lord writes and although I am sometimes wary, I just burst through those doors of fear and open my heart~ Blessings to you!
