Regeneration Dream

Dear Brethren,

I would like to share with a Dream of regeneration with you all for your edification and encouragement:

Dream -2/14/2010 (around 8am)

I was with a African boy who seemed to be fond of me:He tells me he needs to go to the bathroom:I take him to the bathroom and begin
to close the door and that is when he starts to scream (cry?): When he began to cry that is when I realized I wasn't suppose to close the door, it was as if I knew why he was screaming. When I opened the door I noticed something pulling him towards the wall. All I could see was a set of
arms around him but there was no body. That is when I screamed as the first thing that came to my mind was that it was a demon. So
instinctively I called for my mother hoping someone would hear us and see what was going on but then I reflected on the fact that we were
dealing with a spiritual entity and that is when I called on the name of the Lord. At this point I had backed myself into a corner in the fetal
position with my eyes closed. When I opened them the bathroom was empty; the little boy and the demon(?) was gone. Then I woke up.

Comments and Symbolisms Seen by Dreamer:

1. I was with a African boy who seemed to be fond of me:

cultures: if other than dreamer's own culture, represents foreignness; look at beliefs held about culture, stereotypical features of the culture. God is showing attributes of iniquity as foreign to the soul.

children:
This can represent a part of life actually involving our children or influences birthed in our souls that we have nurtured through contact. May also be showing progress of our spiritual growth and development.

2. He tells me he needs to go to the bathroom:

bathroom:
The place of purging, speaks of our purging cycle. Speaks of chastening and scourging. God will create a purging cycle that will correct all
things that offend; deliverance follows obedience (see rooms).

rooms: as with buildings, rooms represent the caverns of the soul God has targeted for healing. The condition of the rooms should be noted, how they are decorated, items that are missing or out of place in the room should all be carefully observed. Is the room the attic or basement: What floor of the building
is the room on? Upper stories would point to spiritual growth; lower stories would be reserved for activities of slower growth levels of faith. Note the type of activity which normally takes place in the room. This will aid in understanding how it is being used in relation to the dreamer (see buildings).

buildings: represents the caverns of the soul. Observe the kind of building, the condition of building and size. If it is run down God is addressing a
purging cycle. Is it beautiful: indicates fruits cycle of growth, indicating the different stages of progressive growth in Christ as the
soul increases in the fruits of Christ. Progressive means that we are not starting over again, we are increasing in understanding increasing
in fruit. What activities are taking place? These give us clues as to what God is addressing. Stores indicate shopping, exchange of goods, or
principles. In the office building, God is addressing that environment and the things Satan uses to yoke the believer to the kingdom of darkness (see rooms).

3. I take him to the bathroom and begin to close the door and that is when he starts to scream (cry?):

door: The door of our salvation is Jesus Christ. Depending on how the symbol is used in the dream it may also refer to opportunities we are seeking or concerns we address in prayer. Could indicate God providing a way for you; a righteous judgment. Observe the door open or shut; observe the size of door.

crying: shows the impact of Grace and Truth upon dreamer's soul softening the heart and bringing healing to the soul. If dreamer is trying to hide crying: this shows a vulnerability being exposed by the works of the Spirit. God brings healing to the soul as we endure the V.H.P factor which troubles the soul and brings about a shifting which is in agreement with Christ.

4. When he began to cry that is when I realized I wasn't suppose to close the door, it was as if I knew why he was screaming. When I opened the door I noticed
something pulling him towards the wall. All I could see was a set of arms around him but there was no body. That is when I screamed as the
first thing that came to my mind was that it was a demon. So instinctively I called for my mother hoping someone would hear us and see what was going on but then I reflected on the fact that we were dealing with a spiritual entity and that is when I called on the name of the Lord. At this point I had backed myself into a corner in the fetal position with my eyes closed. When I opened them the bathroom was empty; the little boy and the demon was gone. Then I woke up.

Comments:

I believe that this dream is a level one dream; which has to do with a purging cycle of influences that have been birth within the soul and have been nurtured through contact. In this case it may be in regards to attributes of iniquity that are foreign to the soul; not direct contact but that which is in connection with the beliefs of the African Culture? The African boy crying may symbolize V.H.P as well as curling up in the corner? I also believe that because I believe a demon is grabbing a hold of this boy may be addressing African myths or something? Not all spiritual entities are evil as I am now learning about the angel of righteousness and signature angel...maybe?

Calling on my mother is instinctive being according to the old man; but being able to make the choice of faith to utilize the tokens of Christ is a manifestation of the impact of grace upon my heart, allowing me to see life from God's perspective, battling on the battlefield of faith rather than the flesh; with the spiritual weapons of our warfare which are the sanctified tools of the second covenant.

Dear Deborah
Thank you for your dream submission, my comments will be in blue and indicated by asterisks ****.

****Good comments dear sister. As we continue in our reflection rehearsing and reciprocating we close the door to those influences which clouds our thinking. Although we experience the VHP factor as God remove these contrariness from our soul yet our choices of faith which is evident in the dream allow us to be cleansed and be single and sober minded.

****What an encouraging level 1 regeneration dream of overcoming. Although we experience the VHP factor yet our choices of faith change our focus and our appetite.

“Those in the house of God are partakers of His eternal inheritance for they daily endure God’s righteous judgements.”
