• [ ] Last night I went to bed in pain but was too exhausted to take my meds. I had the same dream three times that I had woke up and taken my pm meds I’d forgotten with my Ibuprofen and CBD and Turmeric. Finally I woke and took them.
• [ ] Then I dreamt that the Jeep died next to center median with slope in three separate dreams across from the lone gas station half way to Cabool near storage units. The first time I was alone, then I was with Lilly, then I was with River. Each time, someone came to my aid the first time blocking traffic from hitting the Jeep with their car, The second I held Lilly’s hand and stood outside next to the Jeep then another scenario in same dream, as the the driver of a truck had parked behind me, When they came to help they offered to let Lilly sit in their truck and wait to be safe because there was a shoulder to road where I had none. She was waiting in their truck until she saw the driver coming without me as he had left me to finish fixing whatever the issue was. She quietly slipped out passenger door and ran toward gas station. then in the third dream I was with River as the driver who stopped to help parked his semi across the Freeway at edge of pull out from parking lot right next to highway. He offered to let River sit in his truck and wait while we fixed the Jeep. Instead I whispered to her “No!” walked her across the freeway and instructed her to go into the gas station and tell the cashier that she was waiting for me, and to sit in deli booth as I was left to do entire fixing by the man who had stopped to “Help”
• [ ] Then I woke up. About a week ago, the Holy Spirit told me that I would be coming upon a series of tests in order to refine me and teach me use of discernment and taking up my armor of God. I believe these dreams to be a part of those tests. First these were in two series of three. Three symbolizes the Father (Yahweh, God our Abba Father) Son (Jesus Christ, Yeshua, Immanuel) & Holy Spirit (Counselor, instructor, teacher who give us His gifts of the Spirit, prompts us, warns us, leads, guides and protects us.
  Then I found that 3 also symbolizes Truth and Love and as something Complete and Good As I learned many years ago, my name Julie has two meanings, one of which is ‘One guided by truth’.

The first set of dreams were reminders to protect myself from pain by first arming myself.

In Ephesians 6:10-20 we are instructed to take up our armor;

Plus Praying on all occasions for all things and the boldness to stand and to declare the gospel fearlessly. We are warned in verses 10-12

The Whole Armor of God 10A final word: Be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. 11Put on all of God’s armor so that you will be able to stand firm against all strategies of the devil. 12For we are not fighting against flesh-and-blood enemies, but against evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world, against mighty powers in this dark world, and against evil spirits in the heavenly places.

The 1st of the second set of dreams was of of help and protection The second of being cautious and wary and not too trusting and of potential harm from someone pretending to help In the third, was of being extra cautious of potential evil from a larger more powerful enemy and of nefarious activity disguised as good.

1 Peter 1:13 So prepare your minds for action and exercise self-control. Put all your hope in the gracious salvation that will come to you when Jesus Christ is revealed to the world.

1 Chronicles 19:13 Be strong, and let us fight bravely for our people and the cities of our God. The LORD will do what is good in his sight.”

Zechariah 13:9 This third I will put into the fire; I will refine them like silver and test them like gold. They will call on my name and I will answer them; I will say, ‘They are my people,’ and they will say, ‘The LORD is our God.’”
