"Trash Bags, River and Jumping
Dream"
May 20th, 2004 approx. 7 a.m.
I was in a house or a pavilion in a park, not really
sure which but leaning more towards pavilion. As the day has worn on, I
have begun to forget the details of this dream so I need to write it down
now. It was TWILIGHT, the end of the day. I was walking around the grounds
and had walked up into this building. I seem to remember that it was a
white building. Two elders from my former church, Victory Fellowship, were
there in the house. Their names are John Davis and Nick Stevens. I haven't
seen either of them in quite a long time. They were cleaning up this place
and I was just watching. One of them gave me this HUGE white trash bag
full of trash and told me to take it down to the river. This thing was
bigger than me. In fact, it was body sized, even looked like about a six
and a half foot tall body and it was disgusting and nasty. I didn't want
to take it but I did, grimacing all the while and I carried it down to
the river bank. When I got there, suddenly, the trash bag shrank and diminished
down to the size of a hamburger sack and I just squashed it in my hand
into a little ball and I began to laugh "Just look at that! That's amazing!"
And we all started laughing joyfully. Another woman walked up with a similiar
white trash bag and the same thing happened to hers. We stood there looking
at the tiny
squashed bags in our hands and at each other. "What now?"
I asked the elders and they pointed at two trash cans. One in back of me
and one to the right of me. I threw mine in and the other lady threw hers.
I seem to remember a criss-cross motion of throwing them, almost like a
choregraphed dance movement. We were all so happy. The two elders and the
other lady and I. I turned back toward the river and began to walk toward
it. Someone yelled "Where are you going? You can't swim!"
"I know it." I said, "but I'm going." It was almost dark but I could see
fish down in the water and then I began to notice people in the river that
I had not noticed before. Some alone, some with families.
Some wading, some lying in the water relaxing, some swimming,
I think, here and there along the river which was not very wide for a river.
Someone cautioned me again but I said "I'm going in!" I just felt compelled
to go in, in spite of my fear of water. I was barefoot and I began to wade
in towards the middle of the river. The water got a little deeper as I
walked in but I felt no fear. The others began to notice me but I don't
remember anyone speaking to me. I stood there with the water getting higher
up my legs. I'm pretty sure I had on a dress. Suddenly, I began to jump
in the water. Hesitantly, at first and then more quickly. Jumping up and
down like a little girl and laughing and laughing. I began to feel light
as a feather. Each time I jumped up out of the water, I went higher up
into the air. When I came back down, it was almost like I was standing
on top of the water. Higher I went until it seemed that I was almost about
to just take off and fly and not come back down. I could just feel it about
to happen. How wonderful it felt! I never wanted to stop. I was so happy.
Then the alarm clock went off and woke me up. I said "Rats! Rats! and double
Rats!!!! Why now??!!!
Anyone have any interpretation on this? Some of it is
pretty clear but I'd like to get your feedback. You know I don't have many
dreams so this one is important to me. Thanks
