"Dream of God's Canyon Dwellings"


Dream of the Canyon Dwellings

This is a dream where I wondered if I would be able to even use language to describe what I saw. Here is my attempt.

Before you read the dream, go here and look at the photo, which is a pitifully inadequate visual reference, but the best I can do.

I found myself in a car with the person from my past, who was topside at the intersection in the Dream of the Atrium. He was driving and I was in the back seat. He was taking me to see something.  

We were in a massive cliff dwelling complex somewhere, but it had the feeling of the American southwest. We stayed in the car the whole time.  We were driving slowly and then stopped, on the floor of a huge flat portion of this massive hollowed out area in a cliff side. The walls curved up on my right and went over my head. Out to my left was a view over the landscape.  

This whole scene was of a monstrously large complex of cliff dwellings for the people of God. Embedded in the rock walls by the thousands were apartments or condominium like structures. Many were finished, but many were still under construction. There were lights on in these dwellings.  It is impossible to know how many rooms there were, easily in the multiple thousands. People were living in there, even though I actually saw no one.  I was too far away from them.

Looking out to my left I could see the massive opening for the area we were in, and I saw more dwellings.  There were four very tall rock tower formations in a row in front of this opening. The tops of these rick towers were even with the cliff area's opening. They were all basically the same except for the rock tower on the right, which was larger, taller and more prominent with a top section that large flat roof or landing area (?). All of the rock towers had, like the cliff area I was in, apartments or dwellings beyond number carved into the sides of the towers. There seemed to be scaffolding in places also. Again, some dwellings were finished, but a lot of construction was still going on. The lights were on in these dwellings even though it was daytime. Beyond those I saw even more construction going on out in the landscape - the same type of dwellings except in rock formations closer to the ground.

The whole scene beggared description.  It was alien to me, but awesome. It left me awestruck.  

I knew that these were dwellings for God's people ... somewhere. This was His work going on for sure, and I was allowed to see it. Glory to God.  

My description is woefully lacking. sorry! that's the best I can do.
