My dream interpretation

This morning I dreamed I was being attacked by missiles in my home. Kent and I would run from room to room trying to get away from the danger but every time we ran the missiles seemed to follow. We could see them coming at us from the window. When I looked missiles up on dream moods.com I discovered that the presence of missiles in your dream represents feelings of helplessness and forces beyond your control.

I feel as if Satan has literally waged war upon me and my family. I can feel the strong desire he has to pull my family apart. Kent and I have been struggling and working to fix some things, but Satan keeps tempting me to be impatient and frustrated with Kent’s inability to change in a moment. As I have neglected to turn to the Lord Satan has had a great advantage. However my good friend Becca reminded me that it truly is Satan who is attacking us and I have stay close to the Lord so that I can get through this. Never before have so I literally felt the fiery darts of Satan. However, I know in whom I can look to for safety and help.

Before I awoke from my dream Kent and I came up with a plan to leave the house and take a two days supply with us in case we wouldn’t be able to come back for a day or two. As we walked outside many of the neighbors were also outside enjoying the evening. It seemed as if no one else knew about or was concerned by the missiles. My interpretation of this is that Kent and I need to step outside our door more often and enjoy the life we are surrounded by. I also think that part was telling me that despite the danger I feel now it will pass and all will be well. I only have to trust in the Lord and have hope that he will guide me and watch over me. I may not be a dream interpreter, but those are the feelings my dream has given to me and I feel I have been blessed to have that dream.

May I take it one step further and see what I could see in your dream?..I think the very fact that both you and Kent escaped those missles tells you that you will survive the missles together. Satan may be throwing a lot of missles your way, but in the end you will escape them TOGETHER. I also saw the preparing yourselves together as something that Heavenly Father all wants us to do is be prepared so that you can face the "missles" that come at you so strongly in our lives. I think seeing your friends in the end so calm and enjoying life is not only a way you can step out of the your lives and see the good, but also a reward in the end. What a joy it will be in after working so hard to escape those missles and be greeted by a warm welcome happy friends and family! Okay so you don't have to take my interpretation, but I just thought that I would share those as I saw them as very significant in your life right now! I love you Marlies..you and Kent will conquer in the end!

way to be positive, marlies! i love that you took this strange dream and gained so much from it. that's admirable! it's so easy to miss the small things of life that bring us joy. some people seem to be able to look past their troubles and notice those things so easily. it's a gift i wish i had, but like you were saying, it's something we can strive for.
