{tab=16101}from Houston, Texas “Barren Place” Username: tropicals Dream: 16101
THE DREAM- I had this dream maybe 2 years ago. I dreamed I was in a grocery store – not an expensive grocery store, but maybe medium to low end for our area.
I was walking around the edge of the store and there was nothing to sell – no groceries. The shelves were empty.
In the center there was a shelf with 1 box of cereal – torn, ripped and nearly empty. I remember saying that I had seen the same box the last time I was in the store. I believe I said “Oh well” and I picked it up to buy.
I then began walking around the edge of the store at the back. There were store managers walking behind me taking down all the shelving. They were permanently closing. I continued to walk around the edge until I came to where you would check out.
The stations were not in a row but were in circles. Tall lights around 7 ft were on the stations and they were moving around like bumper cars and changing places with one another.
It seemed they couldn’t receive credit cards, but I think they couldn’t receive money – there was no way to pay – everything was shutting down. I remember particularly that credit cards did not work.
Since I have had prophetic dreams before, I was wondering if this was prophetic concerning the economy. I haven’t had any dreams like this since then.
OUR COMMENTS- The dreamer, when trained, is the best interpreter, but from our perspective this dream was most likely insight into your life at the time of the dream or later, rather than about the economy in America in general.
The dream seems to be about a situation connected to general provisions. General provisions is a broad category, but often speaks of money or things we acquire through money. Money in dreams typically symbolises FAVOR, so this situation could be connected to a place intended to bring blessings… such as a church.
The dream also seems to indicate a sense of boredom, that the place you were at had nothing to offer you.
There was an inability to take care of business in this situation as well at the time. This could speak, for instance, of a church where the teaching was uninteresting and no opportunity was provided to facilitate change that can lead to blessing. A spiritually desolate place, for example.
The dream indicates that this place was unable to adjust to people’s needs, perhaps stuck in tradition. The exterior was barren… what could most easily be seen by vistors.
The shutting down may have been literal. You may be getting a head-up that the days are unfortunately numbered for this “place,” and for good reason. Consider carefully what you should and should not do with this insight.
Remember: Each of us receives our own dreams, and each of us knows our own state of affairs. Dreamers are intended to make the best interpreters of their own dreams as they grow in understanding of the parabolic language of dreams.
I’m not you, but that’s my view! Every Blessing!
