TORNADO
I had this dream for the first time early this morning
(July 29, 2008).
Feeling
in the dream:
Frustration in trying to complete a competition that seems
to have been sabotaged. Fear in the
building once the intensity of the dream begins. Relief once the dream ends.
Setting
of the dream:
The dream begins in a large school cafeteria with
tables/sets put up everywhere. I am in
a cooking competition in this cafeteria.
Every contestant has his or her own table/set. Each participant has a practice round then a live round where one
of the camera crews goes “live” to record your portion of the competition.
Dream:
The dream starts with me in the middle of my practice
cooking round where I have to create a main dish and a dessert. Since this is my first competition I choose
easy dishes that I should have no problem completing in the allotted time
frame. I do not know what the main dish
was, but the dessert is a simple strawberry shortcake (pound cake, strawberries,
whip cream and honey). As my practice
round comes to an end I realize that I will not be able to complete my dessert,
and I am cutting it close to not finishing my main dish. I can’t understand why and am frantically
trying to figure out how to correct things for the live take. I am frustrated and worried that I will not
do well in the live competition when all of a sudden (without notice) the
cameras go ‘live’ on me. I am shocked
because the camera crew is suppose to allow us to reset our stations and count
us down to ‘action’. I feel sabotaged,
and at first I try to start the live round, but then decide that this was
unfair. I march off the set to the
person in charge and tell him what happened.
He says back to me, “We have bigger things to worry about than
that. There is a tornado headed
straight for us.” He pauses, looks me
right in the eye and says, “If we make it through this tornado you can have
your re-start.”
I look up and see through the windows at the opposite end of
the cafeteria a HUGE tornado headed straight for us. The tornado is a dark blue color. The room grows dark and people begin to panic and be filled with
fear. I say with authority to the man
in charge, “We will get through this tornado.”
I then begin walking toward the end of the building where you can see
the tornado through the windows. I am
walking intently, as though I have a mission, toward the tornado, and I am
praying in tongues with my hands in the air toward heaven. (I can feel the strong winds, the fear and
the intensity.)
The tornado comes into the building and items are flying
around us, but no one is hurt and the building itself remains
whole/unbroken. As the tornado comes up
to me an evil spirit (who is also dark blue in color) comes out of the tornado
and walks up to me with his hands in the air.
He is speaking another language.
He puts his hands palm-to-palm against my hands. I continue to pray in tongues and the spirit
continues speaking in his language.
After a minute the spirit begins to yell, “No, no, no.” After several minutes of this praying
face-to-face and palm-to-palm the spirit goes back into the tornado and
dissipates. The sky immediately turns light and the birds are chirping.
Everyone is all right and I get my re-start.
My dream ends.
Interpretation:
Part of my interpretation came from my Mom that was
listening to a preacher when she woke up this morning. What the preacher said
answered my dream.
Cafeteria: symbolizes the church
Dessert (bread, fruit, honey): Bread = church, provision,
substance; Honey = power, wisdom,
knowledge, anointing; fruit = fruit of
the spirit
Televised Crew: Message, prophecy, preaching
Windows through which I saw the tornado: Truth, prophecy,
revelation, understanding, blessing, exposed
Strong Winds: Demonic or strong opposition
Dark Blue tornado & spirit: Evil Spirit
Raised Hands: Worship, surrender, spiritual warfare
Building whole & unbroken: Church stands strong through
storm
Light Sky afterward: Knowledge, truth, evil revealed
The church/believers are under and have been under a strong
attack. Strong like the winds and
destruction of a tornado. We have been
feeling like we are sabotaged in our efforts, and many times these efforts
should be seemingly easy tasks like the recipes I choose in the dream, but we
are simply unable to complete them. It
is as if we are taking one-step foreword only to take two steps back. (Physical, mental, spiritual, financial,
health wise…. this is in every area.).
