Another dream about Camp Yesu;
Just trying to get the camp up and running and find all of our staff and then gather our Camper Residents when a little boy and his dad were dropped off by a stranger to them who had given them a lift. The boy who was about ten had a giant bruise across his jaw on one side that was all swollen and black and blue. His mother’s boyfriend had beaten him up and he had gone to live with his very young dad. His dad was out of work and had lost his home, had no vehicle and couldn’t find a job which had left them homeless. They had heard about Camp Yesu from someone and hoped we could help. We brought them in to chat and see if they would be a good fit.
End of dream.
Dec. 29th, 2022 While reading a prophecy about God moving mountains, I saw this vision;
As I read this, I saw a huge mountain sit up and it was the Lord God. He stretched out his arms and beckoned His people to come and when they came, He had foods of all kinds growing plentiful and very large right there for them to take and eat plant and animal alike. Then many people were bowing before the Lord in thanksgiving.
Dec. 30, 2022 Woke up this morning from a dream about a house or room (couldn’t quite tell which) with piles of dirty laundry all around the edges of every wall. I went to clean it all up and suddenly it had disappeared. My mom has been a massive hoarder for over fifty years. She is currently in nursing care that was supposed to be temporary, so not sure if related or not.
Dreams (including visions) are always unique to the dreamer. There are universal elements but even those can have specific, unique meaning to an individual person because we all have unique experiences, genetics, diets, and so on. A dream or vision typically relates to something in (or adjacent to) your own life that you are becoming aware of.
Interpreting one's dream is an interesting activity, and, to be successful, requires opening up to one's feelings; less thinking and more BEING; less left-brain analysis and more right-brain holistic consciousness is the path to the meaning of a dream -- and of life, for that matter.
You can conceptualize this as God talking directly to you, not in the virtual world of language but in the grounded, real-world context-awareness of the right hemisphere.
Edit: added more quotes --
Not this again. The left right dichotomy inside our heads... synchronize them by moving your eyes from side to side for 10 mins each day, longer if you feel like it.
I like to move my head from side to side and keep my eyes looking straight ahead, that's good exercise for the neck.
Yes, this again. There is vast scientific, literary, philosophical, and other data showing that the hemispheres pay attention to the world in very different ways. Moving your eyes back and forth does not change that (which is not to say it isn't helpful in other ways).
In life, we need both types of attention, just as we need the ability to shift between compassion and anger, or to have both vision and hearing. One reason I am so interested in the details, including the effects of the two very different worlds presented to us by the two hemispheres, is that modern life heavily over-emphasizes the cold, logical, virtualizing, tool-and-language using, grasping, manipulating left hemisphere.
McGilchrist says flatly that while "We need the union of division and union, of multiplicity and unity; the left hemisphere needs ultimately to act as servant to the right hemisphere master, since, unbridled, the left hemisphere is capable of destroying the world." ibid, pp. 1281-1282; (Bold added)
The hemispheres work together in the following manner:
Well, that's enough. This isn't a topic on most people's radar and I don't expect it to be of interest to many, but I hope you can understand why it's become something of interest to me, and why I feel restoring balance between the two ways we all experience the world is important. We each have a holistic, grounded, empathic, connected-to-others-and-to-all experience of the world AND a virtual, focused, two-dimensional, language-enabled, tool-using, and detached experience, which gives us, on one side empathy, spirituality, and context, and on the other side language, narrow focus for tasks and tool use, and understanding of the details of a scene. We could not function without both kinds of attention, but the left hemisphere's world is a tool, not something suited for dominance.
I believe the Great Awakening includes, and must include, a rebalancing of the two ways we experience the world.
Considering I am a south paw and have bipolar and that of course ‘Left handed people are the only ones in their right minds’ lol., Makes sense. I know God has been speaking to me through dreams, visions and promptings from the Holy Spirit, just couldn’t figure these out.
Think about them for a few minutes every day; that'll fix them in memory so you don't forget them, and sooner or later you'll probably be struck by what they mean.
I journal alot and write down anything that seems significant. I have six poetry journals full, a few personal journals of mixed and I believe I am halfway through my fifth prayer and Bible study journal. I also write dates. I have been doing this for over thirty years. I don’t write nearly every day, just when something comes to me. Oh, have about eight sketchbooks that are nearly full also.
Wow. That's dedication. And persistence pays off.
We just got in to Saint Lous Missouri last night and our luggage didn’t make it, it’s back in Seattle and my Bible and prayer journal are in my checked luggage, so sure hope they make it back. We have to drive three hours back to Saint Lous this evening to pick them up and if they don’t make it, then they should be delivered to our house within a week. On the upside, Alaska gave us 2500 miles each toward our next flight.
Been praying on them, still no answer, yet I continue having dreams and visions about Camp Yesu among other things God gives me. Wish I could also interpret. Camp Yesu is constantly in my heart and mind and I feel a sense of urgency in getting it up and running but waiting on God for every open door as He is the only one who can make the impossible possible.
