Analyze This

Some say that dreams are your subconscious hopes. I disagree. Just like the devil can make suggestions in your thoughts, I believe he can also make suggestions in your dreams. Unfortunately, in your dreams you are not as able to institute the 3 second rule. (The 3 second rule - when he suggests something, you have 3 seconds to cast it down like we’re told to do in 2 Corinthians 10:4)

I have some reoccurring dreams, but most recently I had some very disturbing ones. 2 in 1 night to be exact.

Dream #1...my girlfriend is getting married, not to her current boyfriend, but to her ex, who I happened to introduce her to. He is my ex’s brother. She makes me her maid of honor and my ex is the best man. We have to dance together, which is very awkward, even in the dream.  It’s awkward because he hates me and the hatred is exuding from him. Not to mention that in all our years together, we never danced. He was so lame. In the dream I just couldn’t wait for the dance to be over, but here’s the most outrageous part of the dream, at the end of the dance he pulls out a ring and proposes. I ran. Then I woke up.

Dream #2...I am at home in my apartment waiting for the maintenance crew to arrive and fix something. They knock on the door and when I answer there is a young man in charge. He starts yelling at me and barges in and they begin to search my apartment. They are moving so fast, I can’t get my hands on the leader. I am quite confident that when I catch him I can and will ring his neck. I am waiting for him to stand still so I can grab him up and throw him out. He finally comes to me after searching my youngest daughter’s room, and begins yelling at me about what he found in her room. Accusing me of not knowing what my daughter is up to, did I know she was practicing being a chemist. She had a very sophisticated cook pot in her room. She was manufacturing drugs right under my nose. I was no longer interested in ringing his neck but hers. I did still put the crew out but now my focus was on my daughter and her nefarious yet possibly profitable activities.

Perhaps I need to lay on someone’s couch. Some dreams I can’t wait to get back to sleep. These particular dreams woke me up in a panic.
