Last night's dream.
I am swimming in a covered swimming pool. I am swimming in the left-most lane. I am wearing my cap, goggles and flippers, and I am on my back, kicking both legs simultaneously. The corners of the swimming pool seem dark. There is a sense of desolation. No one is here except me, a time-keeper and a little boy. The little boy is swimming in the lane next to me. He has short brown hair. He must be about nine years old. He is swimming. He isn't wearing flippers. I can't see if he is wearing a cap and goggles. I am faster than he - a lot faster. My time-keeper is on my shoulder. An angel. I excuse my speed with the fact that I am wearing flippers. As I swim, I think I am not really doing anything. I didn't know what technique I needed to learn to use my hands to swim skilfully.
Suddenly I am walking up a flight of stairs. There are only three steps. My friend is with me. I enter a room that has wooden planks beautifully decorating the floor. I recognise Nadine Denzl as the teacher. She is a dance teacher. She is facing the door. She has two students. She is teaching them a new kind of dance. It reminds me of T'ai Chi. The sunlight streams in from a skylight. Its beams cast rays onto the wooden floor, making it reddish yellow in color. I see red and yellow diamond shapes on the walls that remind me of Russian jokers. I remember thinking, she has always had nice legs. I am walking around the room now, looking about, as though I would find an interesting read. I love the scene. Then I remember, I was just training. I have a gala to attend.
My friend and I rush to the swimming gala. We are standing at the gates of a large auditorium with a swimming pool in its centre. A guard stands at the gates. He tells us it is over. We walk through, but we missed it. We missed the gala. A part of me was relieved. I don't really like competitions that everyone can see.
An interpretation given:
Swimming: you are becoming spiritual, serving God, worshiping, operating in the gifts of the Spirit, prophesying;
Accompanying Scripture: Ezekiel 47:5:
Afterward he measured a thousand, and it was a river that I could not pass through, for the waters had risen, waters to swim in, a river that could not be passed over {or} through.
Wood: life, temporary, of the flesh, humanity, spiritual building material
red: passion (emotion)
yellow: gift from or of God, marriage, family honor
Accompanying Scripture: Psalm 68:13:
Though you [the slackers] may lie among the sheepfolds [in slothful ease, yet for Israel] the wings of a dove are covered with silver, its pinions excessively green with gold [are trophies taken from the enemy].
window: revelation, truth, prophecy, understanding
Accompanying Scriptures:
Gen 26:8:
It came about, when he had been there a long time, that Abimelech king of the Philistines looked out through a window, and saw, and behold, Isaac was caressing his wife Rebekah.
2 Kings 7:19:
And that lord answered the man of God, and said, Now, behold, if the LORD should make windows in heaven, might such a thing be? And he said, Behold, thou shalt see it with thine eyes, but shalt not eat thereof.
dancing: worship, prophecy, joy
steps/stairs: steps (as in process), sometimes including the concept of time, promotion, ambition
[I stumbled on Joel's second chapter in my searchings and was greatly encouraged despite the fearful future:]
2:27 And ye shall know that I am in the midst of Israel, and that I am the LORD your God, and none else: and my people shall never be ashamed.
2:28 And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions:
2:29 And also upon the servants and upon the handmaids in those days will I pour out my spirit.
2:30 And I will shew wonders in the heavens and in the earth, blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke.
2:31 The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and terrible day of the LORD come.
2:32 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the LORD shall be delivered: for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as the LORD hath said, and in the remnant whom the LORD shall call.
