Although it has been an excruciatingly long time, as promised I finally have my dream from....November? December? I can't even remember, it's been too long!
I'm going to start by summarizing it as brief and best as I can, and then I will give my mentor's take on what it means:
"My family and three friends went to this "haunted" cabin (that I've dreamed of before) to stay for a vacation. While we were there, my three friends were staying in a small room together, and it blew up. I didn't see them again in the dream, so I think they died. Throughout the dream, I discovered that it was not in fact (or as far as I knew) haunted, but that Loki (villain in the Thor movie series and Norse god of mischief), kept come and causing mischief for fun, and using a magic trick he has in the movies to turn into other people and just stir up trouble. Sending replicas of himself to cause trouble, he would disappear before anyone could catch him, except he was fond of me, so he would let just me get a glimpse of him, then would disappear so that I knew it was him behind it all. My family however, was freaked out since they thought it was legitimately haunted, so we left the cabin early, and right when I woke up, Loki was trying to keep us from leaving because he didn't want me to go."
Here's what my mentor had to say:
"Regarding your dream, it sounds to me like the dream itself is not significant but because you have had the same dream several times, I would say it is your emotions in the dream that are important. God often wants to show us things about areas he wants to heal in our emotions. For example if you constantly have emotions of fear or shame in a dream, then it is God saying that you have fear or shame in your life that you need to be freed from."

Coming Soon To A Blog Near You....
Hey!
So I'm not sure if anyone else knows or not, but 99% of the time, other people's dreams are really boring to listen to. I don't know if it's because you can't stand someone's voice drawling all the random, impossible details, them screwing up the details in their jumbled head and trying to fix it, or if it's simply because you can't visually enjoy the dream so there's no point in listening to it.
Either way, this entire project, I've tried to avoid making an actual dream post because I don't want to bore anyone!! However, I recently sent in a dream to my incredible mentor, and she read the whole thing (who knows how many times, bless her) and responded a very long, lovely response.
However, in connection to how I began this post, I'm still trying to find a way to make it some what entertaining (if it's already NOT entertaining enough for you), so I just wanted to share with the world who reads this that coming soon to a blog near you is a dream I had a few weeks ago....
If you want me to get a taste of my own medicine, feel free to leave a dream you've had before or recently in the comment section below...I could definitely use the comments. I feel like such an outcast on this blogger app (ok, maybe I'm being a tad dramatic). I don't know if dream projects are social suicide or if it's just me....lol.

WHAT DOES THE BIBLE SAY?
"Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, for many false prophets have gone into the world." - 1 John 4:1
"Therefore, do not throw away your confidence, which has great reward." - Hebrews 10:35
"As for these four youths, God gave them learning and skill in all literature and wisdom, and Daniel had understanding in all visions and dreams." - Daniel 1:17
"Now Joseph had a dream, and when he told it to his brothers they hated him even more." - Genesis 37:5
"For nothing will be impossible with God." - Luke 1:37
"For God speaks in one way, and in two, though man does not perceive it." - Job 33:14
The Bible suggests (from what I understand) that, 1. To understand dreams is a rare gift, 2. It's not always a popular gift, 3. Dreams are not always from God.
I spoke briefly about this before in October, how some dreams are from God and others from Satan. 1 John 4:1 relates and emphasizes that. Personally, I am still quite confused on how to decide which is from which, but I'll look into that more in the coming weeks...
Understanding dreams and visions is such a unique thing to have. You are decoding messages from God in your brain. Things He has sent you, things not everyone understands. The brain is so complex, and for me, doing theophostic prayer for example has really helped me to decode those thoughts from Him. He sends you messages in your thoughts, feelings and memories. Dreams are just the tip of the iceberg.
Also, understanding dreams are not always popular. Joseph could understand his dreams, and while that ended up getting him a high position in Egypt, being able to prophesy dreams from God was what first got him kicked out of his home at the beginning of his story.

The Beginning Strands Of Theophostic Prayer
Hello friends!
One of the things I wanted to do as part of my project was something called, "theophostic prayer."
From what I understand, theophostic prayer is a ministry where you seek the Lord in prayer. It is not a form of counselling, it simply identify's with your emotional pain that is harboured through your experiences in your life. If your emotional pain is being rooted by a past experience, it is not likely that you will be able to let go of it until you find God's perspective in this prayer and are able to use Him as a guide to let go of your past and find comfort in what lies ahead.
My mentor does theophostic prayer with people, and so I will be attending an appointment with her this Friday, November 22 (It's also the first time I will be meeting her, so I'm very excited for that too!).
Again, from what I understand about it, is that you go into your appointment with a problem in your life, one that you would like to strive to fix. This problem may not necessarily be what you will end up fixing, because God is the one being sought by you, and He will show you whatever He wants you to see. Our minds are so complicated, and we may never completely understand what's going on inside of it, however God can help.
All in all, I know that this is not the greatest mother load of information, and if you would like more, please go to theophostic.com. They certainly know more than me (haha) and it's a whole website dedicated to the ministry.
I am currently still in pursuit of more information myself, seeing as I am mentally trying to prepare myself for what will happen. One of my friends has done it before, and she's told me what it's kind of like, but I don't want to put anything down on here until I've experienced it for myself. After my appointment on Friday, I'm sure to make a post about it to share with you all about how it went!

WHAT DO DREAMS MEAN?
Dreams are sent from either God or Satan, it is our jobs to decipher which dream comes from which. Like I said in the earlier paragraph, "our deepest wishes and desires are disguised in dream because they would be too threatening to our mental health if they formed while we are awake" -- I believe that those dreams would mostly come from Satan.
Dreams from God however have good, knowledgable reasoning behind them.
1. To warn us.
2. To offer direction in our lives.
3. To give us hope for the future.
4. To expose what we are believing is false.
As for interpreting a dream, here are some basic, yet more deep steps:
1. Journal the dream.
2. Evaluate the emotions you felt when you woke up.
3. Ask yourself what emotions you have experienced or issues you were processing the day/night before the dream.
4. Ask yourself if the dream represents the future or is based on past or present events.
5.Ascertain if the dreams is literal or symbolic.
6. Ask yourself if the dream is about you or someone else.
7. Go through each symbol in the dream, seeking revelation of each symbol until you sense in your spirit that the interpretation is complete.
HUGE SHOUT OUT TO MY AWESOME MENTOR FOR A TON OF THE INFORMATION I GOT TO SHARE WITH EVERYONE. THANKS!!! :))

Let's Get Down To Business
I recognize that I haven't been the most loyal when it comes to blogging. But, although I was extremely exhausted from my lack of sleep last night (and coincidentally, my rapid dreaming), I still managed to be intimidated by our short lecture in Bible class about how we really have to be up to date with these posts, or else it will be even harder to get the right completed marks.
At the moment, I am still trying to get organized with the whole matter so I don't have any new information unfortunately. I hope this will change, but in the meantime, for all you crazy dreamers who are seeking to find some guidance, I recommend this website:
http://www.whatyourdreammeans.com/
It's a little bit sketchy at first, and just because I am recommending it DOES NOT mean that I one hundred percent agree with everything it talks about, however I merely use this website, along with the books I currently have in my possession (check your local library my friends...titles and authors soon to follow) to help guide me as I learn about perhaps things that are going through me mentally. After all, there is so much about ourselves (mentally) that we don't know, and so for me, using a mixture of books, this website and the Bible as well, I am learning, slowly but surely, what I need to fix in my life.
Until next time :))
