weird dreams

ok, so i 've been having a lot of dreams lately....which is likely the result of a lot going on during the day time and a lot on my mind all the time :)

sometimes they get me soo curious that i'll look up dream meanings online (i know, this is probably a tad ridiculous, but sometimes, the meanings are interesting....and, it's kind of like reading your horoscope....you like seeing what it says, but don't often put any stock in it).

last night, i dreamed that while i was brushing my teeth, i picked up my winter hat and realized it had a huge hole in the top of it. i wasn't all that concerned, i just noticed it and decided i would see if my mom could fix it for me (b/c in real life, she does fix those things for me when she can). and that was it.

while this dream isn't all that strange, i decided to look up the separate elements and see what it said...

teeth: to dream that you are brushing your teeth, signifies your level of confidence, struggles and aggressiveness. you need to look out for yourself and your own interest. perhaps, you feel that your standing or position is shaky (i'm not really sure how i feel about this...looking out for my own interests sounds horrible...like i'm going to do whatever it takes to get what i want no matter who i hurt....and that's not very like me -- at least i hope not! but the standing or position being shaky could be relevant, i guess...)

hat: to see or wear a hat in your dream, indicates that you are hiding an aspect of yourself or that you are covering up something. alternatively, it represents your attitude or the various roles and responsibilities you have in your waking life

hole: to dream that there is a hole in your clothing, indicates that there are some flaws in your thinking or thought process. you may need to undergo an image makeover.

mother: to see your mother in your dream, represents the nurturing aspect of your own character. mothers offer shelter, comfort, life, guidance and protection (there are apparently several meanings for seeing your mom in your dream, but none of them really seemed to fit....especially since i didn't really see her, just thought about her...this seemed the best choice, especially since my mom is nurturing and does offer all of those things!).

fix: to dream that you are fixing something, indicates that you need to reevaluate and rethink a situation or relationship in your life (except that i didn't actually fix anything, i only thought about getting it fixed).


really, the only part of the dream i was interested in was the hole in the hat thing (the rest i wasn't curious about, but decided to go all the way with this little experiment).
i did find it interesting b/c i do hide a lot (not physically, but emotionally, mentally, etc.) from my friends and family (i'm working on it, trust me....it's easier said than done). i keep things to myself far too often.
also, i do have a lot of roles and responsibilities in my life right now (especially since i just got a new, second job at panera) and i've been thinking a lot about all the roles i do play and the ones i would like to play (very different i'm discovering....there are times when you realize that nothing is ever the way you thought it would be and you just have to say, "it is well" b/c you know that He knows and has a plan for all this craziness that is life).
and, lastly, i tend to overthink things, situations, encounters, relationships, etc. you name it and i've probably had it running in circles around my mind for a long time. often, the situations tend to come out worse for the wear once my mind attacks. i tend to take things and apply the worst possible meaning to them. not because i view others around me badly or i don't trust them, but because of me....i make it all my fault. but that's beside the point. so it is fitting that this hole could be telling me there are flaws in my thinking and thought processes.

interesting.
at least it is to me :)

of course, this could just be a dream that is replaying things that have happened in real life. it is cold out, and i have been wearing my hat a lot lately. i do brush my teeth before i leave to go somewhere. the other day one of my gloves got a hole in it, so i could be transferring that....and if my hat really did get a hole it, i probably would see if my mom could fix it when i went home for the holidays. it's all mundane, everyday type stuff.
maybe the rest is just ridiculous nonsense?
you choose.


what do you think about dream meanings? do you ever do this kind of stuff? 
any thoughts about my dream? 
have you had any strange/funny/interesting dreams lately?


love you :)

His Straight, Not Mine

Whenever I have a huge decision to make, I stress. My default mode is "what if I'm wrong??" This has been true for the last 10+ years of my life. College, mission trips during college, where to teach after college, quitting teaching, moving to Baltimore, leaving Baltimore, beginning seminary. All decisions fraught with questions, doubts, fears. And I'm there again. Graduated from seminary, looking for the next step. Wondering. Doubting. Questioning. Hoping. Dreaming. Fearing.  Every big decision is the same. You'd think I'd have learned by now just to decide or jump or trust or whatever. But no. The reason for this struggle is that I so badly long to do what I am meant to do. I long to follow God where He is leading, to fulfill the purpose He has planned for me from the beginning. But I'm only human. And so how on earth do I know what God has planned for me? And how on earth can I possibly do that without screwing it up completely?  I look at vers...

34.

One of the things I love most about my birthday is that it falls so close to the beginning of the year. A new calendar year and new life year start together.  I also love that I share a birthday with Kate, Duchess of Cambridge.  You know, the important things.  I've thought a lot about this year and what it would be like. Not because I've now officially hit my mid-30's (oh my goodness, really??) but what will 2019 and 34 hold? The last two years have been the hardest I've faced. Everything felt like it was breaking to pieces, and I was never fast enough to gather them all up before they landed, or good enough to keep everything together. These pieces were significant chunks of my identity. Things (and people!) I had placed a lot of value in, that I thought defined me, were gone. Slowly, suddenly, systematically, chaotically. It felt very much like I was being stripped away, and that there wasn't much else there.  At the same time, the world also se...

Over the Cliff

In the middle of Prince Caspian, there's a moment. Lucy has seen Aslan, but no one else has, and Aslan's told her she has to follow, whether anyone else does or not. Fortunately, they all agree to go with her. As the set off, she's the only one who can see Him, and she's leading everyone else.  "He led them to the right of the dancing trees -- whether they were still dancing nobody knew, for Lucy had her eyes on the Lion and the rest had their eyes on Lucy -- and nearer the edge of the gorge...for a long way Aslan went along the top of the precipices. Then they came to a place where some little trees grew right on the edge. He turned and disappeared among them. Lucy held her breath, for it looked as if he had plunged over the cliff..." Recently, I feel as if I've been following Jesus and He's disappeared, plunged right over the cliff. ********************* Last fall, I began thinking about words for 2017. I love the idea of claimin...
