In this dream, I was standing in a large park that contained many trees, and I saw a woman, who was dressed in a traditional bridal gown, wandering aimlessly through the park. As I watched the bride, I noticed that she was actually a phantom, so even though she looked like a real, live bride, she was not.
Then I saw an older man and a woman, who I knew were her parents, and they were following the bride in an effort to catch up with her, but they couldn’t, so they jumped into a small vehicle, which looked like a golf cart, and used it to catch up with her. However, just before the bride’s parents reached her, she darted behind a large tree, so her parents left the vehicle and walked around the tree expecting to find their daughter, but she had disappeared. Standing there instead was a little girl who was about four years old, and she was wrapped a soft white garment.
When the man and woman realized that their daughter had been replaced by the child, they very disappointed, so they said, “Oh no, now we will have to start all over again!” The woman then picked the child up and tucked her under her arm as if she was baggage. Just as they were about to leave, Jesus suddenly appeared, which caused the man andwoman to drop the child and disappear. As soon as they were gone, Jesus asked the little girl if she would like to go home with Him, and she said, “Yes.” So, He held out His hand, which she gladly grasped, and off they went.
As they walked toward His home, Jesus kept smiling at the little girl with a look of love on His face, which revealed that He was completely enamoured with her (see definition at end of dream).
Until that point in the dream, I had been watching all of this unfold from a distance, but suddenly, I found myself walking beside the little girl, so she put her other hand in mine and we all walked toward home together.
During the journey, the little girl often jumped upward so that Jesus and I could swing her between us, which made her giggle and laugh as if she didn’t have a care in the world because she totally trusted that Jesus was leading her to a home where she would be safe and loved.
After a while, we arrived at a very large building, which Jesus called home. However, as Jesus led us to the door to His house, the child and I became one, which made me realize that I was the child. So, when Jesus opened the door, He picked me up in His arms and carried me into His house. Then, He took me to a very large room that contained a very large window, which was covered with a blind, and He carried me to the window, where He opened the blind and held me close to His heart so that I could feel His heartbeat. When I felt His heartbeat, I felt so totally loved by Him that I rested my cheek against His. Then, as we gazed out the window at a beautiful panoramic scene of majestic snow-topped mountains, He said, “It’s okay now, we are home.”
The love I felt as Jesus held me in His arms was a love I had never experienced before, and it stayed with me long after I woke up from the dream. Because of that, I wondered if the word enamoured had anything to do with how I felt, so I looked it up in the dictionary and found that it means, “to enflame with love” (Funk & Wagnall’s Standard Desk Dictionary, Funk & Wagnall’s Publishing Co., 1976). Then, I realized that Jesus purposely included that word in my dream to show me that His love for us is greater and stronger than any other love.
Interpretation:
The park represents the world. The parents represent church leaders.
The adult bride represents what church leaders have been producing, which is a dead bride for Jesus who works for Him, relationship with the Lord.
The little girl wrapped in white represents the child-like simplicity of love, trust and faith that Jesus desires for in Matthew 18:3 He said, “Truly I say to you, unless you turn and become like children, you will never enter the kingdom of Heaven.”
Jesus asking the little girl if she wanted to come home with Him represents Him giving me (and every Christian) an invitation to turn away from dead works and become like the child in this dream. Then He will open the eyes of our hearts so that we can see and know Him as He truly is, and He will lead us to our true home in His Father’s Kingdom.
