Dream in nutshell: I was in a labyrinth of building with lots of hobbies, freebies inside. I had just one hour. I had to find the way out in time.
Short explanation: We are
living in a time of distractions. If we are not wise, we will not able to find
the exit. We have to focus on Jesus.
I have received this dream from
Jesus today, on the 3rd of October, early in the morning.
In my dream from Jesus, 8
or 10 of us were waiting outside to catch a small plane. A smart organizer
arranged everything for us, we had not to do anything. Even the organizer
packed our luggages with all necessary things for our travel.
After our travel, there was
a second trip on the second day. We had to be outside the building in due time.
Surprisingly, there wasn’t any organizer to help us. We had to pack our
luggages ourselves and we supposed to be outside of the building within one
hour to catch the small private plane.
Under normal circumstances,
it’s easy to pack a luggage within minutes, especially when you used to do lots
of small and bigger travels. But there was a big problem. As soon as we entered
into the building to find our room and pack our suitcases, we lost each other.
Inside the whole building there was a big chaos. The whole building inside
transformed into a big labyrinth. The usual 2 or 3 minutes route to my room to
pick up a luggage became a long-long walk with lots of distractions. Even 10
minutes were not enough to reach my room. The whole building became a labyrinth.
It was easy to get lost.
The other problem was the
way back. The route to the way out was not the same route as the way in. And on
the way back the problems multiplied.
The building itself was not
a hotel. It was my old college attached with dormitory area. Our hotel rooms
were in the dormitory area. In my old college, you can reach the dormitory area
by walking inside the buildings. In the dream, I had to reach the dormitory
area, because that place contained our hotel rooms, but at the dormitory area
the gate was not open to walk outside with our suitcases. We supposed to go
back to the entrance of college to go outside.
So first, as I entered into
my old college building, I had to reach my hotel room in the dormitory area.
The way there was part of a big labyrinth. As I entered into the building, I
had only one hour left to catch our small plane.
As we entered into the
building, a big chaos was waiting for us, not just the unknown labyrinth. The
chaos was so big that the others disappeared beside me. Each of us had to find
their own room and the way out.
As I walked inside the labyrinth,
there were lots of rooms, one after another. In each room there were lots of freebies
laying disorganized on the floor. A lots of people stopped at the piles to
collect free things for themselves. Each room was full with different freebies,
just piled on the floor. Some of the freebies were just half-done, without
proper packaging. Because they were free, more and more people stopped and
started to sort out the perfect items and collected plenty of freebies for
themselves. Each room in the labyrinth contained newer and newer kind of
freebies piled on floor in small piles in a disorganized way, without proper
packaging.
For example one room
contained blankets in textile bags and without textile bags and half-done
blankets as well. The other room contained raincoats in bags and without bags
and in half-done forms. All of the items were without quality checking.
At the first time, when I
have seen the freebies, I stopped and started to sort out the blankets to find
a perfect one. By doing this I started to forget my purpose to find my room
with my luggage and catch the plane. When I realized that I almost forgot about
my flight, I decided not to stop in any room to collect freebies anymore. As I walked
through the rooms of the big labyrinth, I have reached the section of dormitory
area in the building.
In that part, between the
corridor of college and dormitory area, I was able to peek out of the back
window. There was a large crowd of college students, hundreds (seemed thousands)
of them celebrated something outside on the football field. There was a
backdoor to them into the building. As I saw them I knew that within minutes
the celebration is over and those hundreds or thousands of college students
want to go inside the building. Because the masses of students supposed to
flock inside the building within minutes and the exit door of dormitory area was
closed, I decided not to pick up my luggage.
I turned back to find my
way out. It was impossible to walk on the same route as before, I had to find
out an other route within the labyrinth.
As I said, there was a
chaos inside the building. I have already lost 20 minutes. I had left only 40
minutes to find the exit. The exit was at the same place where I entered into
the building.
The way back was more
difficult than the way inside. On the way out I was even lost once. Accidently
I have found myself at a place behind a big storeroom of a huge industrial
kitchen.
On my way back, more and
more people tried to find the exit, but they were sidetracked by distractions. Even
I was sidetracked for minutes with a cute dog and at a feasting table where I
refused to sit down. There were lots of things and attractions going on in the
building. The distractions were multiplied and the labyrinth became more and
more difficult.
Even the floor became
bumpy. A lots of stairs created with hundreds of ups and downs. Not only the
steps of stairs were uneven, the surface of steps wasn’t smooth, but there
where sudden holes in ground as well. So deep – where people might die if they had
fallen.
A lots of attractions were
going on as well. On a long wide corridor, where instead of floor, there were
bumpy stairs with hundreds ups and downs. Alongside with the corridor there was
a long-long climbing wall, with a climbing practice painted on the wall. It
showed to the climbers, where they were supposed to be. The painted climbing
practice was not a horizontal straight line, it painted with ups and downs as
well. A lots of people started their practice, because organizers told them, if
they were practicing, they could find the way out from the labyrinth. Because I
did not believe their sayings, I continued my way on the bumpy stairs with ups
and downs.
After I reached the end of
the long-long corridor, I entered in a room. In this room, I lost my ability to
walk. So I started creeping on the floor. I was able to move myself bit by bit.
On the floor in that room a lots of freebies were piled on the floor in small
piles in a disorganized way. I picked up one of the feebies. It was an elastic
headband, at least that I thought. It was shiny, a silver base decorated with a
shiny black ribbon. I liked it and I figured out I can carry it with me.
In that room, four or five
girls were sitting on the floor, did they DIY work, creating headbands with bow
– that’s what I thought. Then I realized there were a lots of cardboard boxes
as well – like shoe boxes – with natural beige color in that room. The girls
packaged somethings inside, than with the elastic headbands, they closed the
boxes. So the headbands were not headbands, they were gift box decorations.
Near to me, one of the
packaging girl became very lazy. She not wanted to move from her place. She
started to look for more headbands – box decorations – around her of her
sitting place but she did not find any for her last box. So I decided to help
her, to give away my one and only freebie “headband” box decoration. As soon as
I gave away my freebie, I was able to walk again.
I started to walk with more
and more focus. Before due time, I have found myself in the college entrance
hall not far away from the exit or entry door. Just 20 seconds away, there was
the exit door. I almost reached my destination. From the one hour I had given,
I did spend 20 minutes to reach my hotel room at the dormitory and the other 20
minutes to find my way back. 20 minutes of my way back seemed to be longer, but
had found out later it was just 20 minutes.
The usual 3 or 4 minutes
walk within the college buildings was so difficult thanks to the chaos, the
disractions and the labyrinth. I had nothing with me. No luggage, no freebies.
Nothing. Just me.
In my old college, the
college entrance hall is a huge waiting room for hundreds of students and it is
a place for concerts and celebrations as well, because it has a stage.
As I entered into the college
entrance hall, construction workers had built a big concert stage. Some of the
organizers were resting and hanging around. A lots of them started staring at
me just for checking if I am a big star. As they did continue staring at me, thinking
I must be a big star, I noticed that my body completely changed. My skin was
shining, my face was shining, my whole body was glowing. I was as skinny as I
was in my teenage years. I have curly and wavy hair in real life, but here even
my hair was changed. My hair became very-very curly, bouncing with volume and
shining with lots of sunshine. My whole body and hair was shining and was
sunshine on me – inside the building. And my dream was over.
This dream was like an
alarm for me. Coincidentally a siren test was going on in the whole country today.
Explanation of this dream.
The big chaos is our life. The
labyrinth is our life.
The labyrinth, the bumpy
floor, the feebies and attractions represent distractions. These are
sidetracking our life. You can spend hours on Youtube, facebook, and you will
easily forgot about our destination. We have to focus on Jesus.
…let us run with
perseverance the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and
perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the
cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the
throne of God. Consider him who endured such opposition from sinners, so
that you will not grow weary and lose heart.
Hebrews 12:1-2
In the middle of labirynth
I saw a large crowd of students wanted to come inside the building to find the
exit as well. When I was seeing this, I have changed my mind. Instead of
picking up my luggage, I decided to find my way out empty handed. This time the
whole route inside the building became like a competition. I always had to be
ahead of masses. If you have a prophetic gift, you have to run ahead.
Walking ahead of time was
like a competition in this dream. When we focus on Jesus, we are able to run.
Some words of the Bible
about competition:
Do you not know that in a race all the
runners run, but only one gets the prize? Run in such a way as to get
the prize. Everyone who competes in the games goes into strict
training. They do it to get a crown that will not last, but we do it to
get a crown that will last forever. Therefore I do not run like someone running
aimlessly; I do not fight like a boxer beating the air. No, I strike a blow to my body and
make it my slave so that after I have preached to others, I myself will not be
disqualified for the prize.
I
Corinthians 9:24-27
We have to be aware of
sidetracks, distractions. We can easily lost our time with hobbies, shopping,
etc. For example I have a lots of fights against distraction in my everyday
life. I have to learn to focus.
Freebies in this dream represent
disractions of our free time. How do you spend your free time? In our free
time, we have to focus on Jesus, otherwise we are not able to reach our
destination.
Be wise with your time. In your
free time spend time with Jesus as well. Collect your oil with Jesus.
Jesus said:
Whoever is not with me is against me, and whoever does not
gather with me scatters.
Luke 11:23
In the dream on my way back
in the labyrinth, I lost my ability to walk. I was able to get a headband – box
decoration – freebie for me. When I helped the girl with my only freebie and I
focused on other people’s needs, I was able to walk again.
…strengthen your weak knees, for
as you keep walking forward on God’s paths all your stumbling ways will be
divinely healed!
Hebrews
12:12-13 TPT
We have to humble
ourselves. Jesus is humble.
Jesus said:
“Are you weary, carrying a heavy
burden? Then come to me. I will refresh your life, for I am your oasis. Simply join your life with
mine. Learn my ways and you’ll
discover that I’m gentle, humble, easy to please. You
will find refreshment and rest in me. For all that I require of
you will be pleasant and easy to bear.”
Matthew 11:28-30 TPT
At the end of the dream my appearance
completely changed. My body was shining, my hair was shining and sunshine was all
over me inside the building.
Meaning: if you humble
yourself, you will be exalted.
For all those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those
who humble themselves will be exalted.
Luke 18:14 NIV
All the glory should go to
Jesus.
You can be like a star on
the sky:
Multitudes who sleep in the dust of the
earth will awake: some to everlasting life, others to shame and
everlasting contempt. Those who are wise will shine like the brightness
of the heavens, and those who lead many to righteousness, like the stars
for ever and ever.
Daniel 12:2-3 NIV
All of the glory goes the
Jesus. Glory to Jesus.
We are a generation with lots
of free time. Collect some oil with Jesus until you can. Until you have time. We
don’t know exactly how much time left.
Then the Kingdom of Heaven will be like ten bridesmaids
who took their lamps and went to meet the bridegroom. Five of them
were foolish, and five were wise. The five who were foolish didn’t take enough olive oil for their
lamps, but the other
five were wise enough to take along extra oil. When the bridegroom was delayed, they all became drowsy and fell
asleep.
“At
midnight they were roused by the shout, ‘Look, the bridegroom is coming! Come
out and meet him!’
“All the bridesmaids got up and prepared
their lamps. Then the five foolish ones asked the others,
‘Please give us some of your oil because our lamps are going out.’
“But the others
replied, ‘We don’t have enough for all of us. Go to a shop and buy some for
yourselves.’
“But while they were gone to buy oil, the
bridegroom came. Then those who were ready went in with him to the marriage
feast, and the door was locked. Later, when the other five bridesmaids
returned, they stood outside, calling, ‘Lord! Lord! Open the door for us!’
“But he called back, ‘Believe me, I don’t
know you!’
“So you, too, must keep watch! For you do
not know the day or hour of my return.
Matthew 25:1-13 NLT
