Dream...January 4,2005....the LightHouse.
I dreampt that me and some other people were on this small little path in the woods. It was like fall setting and the leaves were gracefully falling down around us.(ok, I love the fall season, it is the most beautiful up here in my neck of the woods). For some reason everyone also somehow knew about this path, like we had walked it before. As we walked down the path, we had to cross a small crystal stream. In the stream, there were a few rocks to step on so one could cross. But where I was, the rocks were under the waters, so I decided to take my shoes and socks off and just walk thru the water. It was refreshing and cold. Brrr...Then I sat down and put my socks and hiking shoes back on as my feet soon started to turn blue!
Now this path takes one to an edge of a ragged cliff and is very high up , and there is a roof to this very tall and ancient building.The roof somehow makes into like a platform at this point of the path,on the edge of the cliff. Whether a lighthouse or tower, hard to tell, but the roof would move and rotate. Kinda like a 'tilt-a-whirl' ride.
The Roof was like a dark green in colour, shingled and had lots of moss on it. The sides of this tower or lighthouse was light white stone, but moss also grew up it. The building looked of polished rocks put seamlessly together,like they were put there perfectly.
There were black railings on the 4 corners of the upper part of the roof, and a railing at the far edge of the roof as well. Ok ,remember those old barn roofs with the rooster weather vanes? The roof is like that but square!At the top of this roof, it would indent to form a box area,so part of the roof sunk in making like a boxed in area. So one sits o nthe top of the roof and dang their legs in the boxed in area. OK. (yup, a little weird trying to explain what it looked like here.) I was sitting on the lower left side of this roof,leaning against this upper rail and being a bit nervous. Hm... I also notice my son sitting across from me as well and he is just enjoying the ride, what else is new. Gotta love those teens!
(Ok, so he's sharing my dream now!LOL.) There are others also along for the ride as well. But a very small group here.
I get the thought, 'What if we loose our grasp and fall off?' Well there was a young man in this tower, about in his 30's who spoke up. Guess he was the caretaker of this tower or lighthouse,anyways. He spoke up and said, 'Don't worry you'll be safe! You can trust me on it'. Ok, I do now sense this had to be a lighthouse now , cos when the young man spoke from within it, he was managing and pointing the big brite light for all those ships in the waters who were in need of assistance.
So I leaned back, more relaxed and looked out at the view before me, and all I could see was the edge of a huge tranqual sea. And the waters were basically all around the lighthouse except for the back of it, where the cliff was situated. Some shoreline could be viewable at a close distance, and one could make out the treeline very well. And there was a rising mist coming off the waters in the opposite direction, towards the north, where the deeper waters of the sea were. And I saw the sun as it was trying to sneak a glimpse thru the clouds from time to time, cascading down a shimming display of a million diamonds across the surface of the waves.
The motions of the rotation roof was similar of being rocked. It was so relaxing I fell asleep.-end of dream.
rhema...
-this lighthouse sounded so reminescent of the Temple of God.
-Hmm....the caretaker is Jesus
-the ocean, the Spirit of God.
I can't help but think, are we 'watchmen of the tower' ? As we are viewing from the top of the tower.
Crossing the creek reminescent of the crossing of the Jordan.
-Hmm. the canopy of coloured trees in spectrum reminded me of the 'chuppah', everybody under the chuppah (wedding tent)?!
Very much like the Tent of God's presence somehow! That's what it reminded me of.
