I’ve been having some wacky dreams lately … especially last night.
–
In one, I was sword-fighting with a 4-inch tall man … he was wielding a rusty nail as a word … and he was winning! I remember thinking: “It shouldn’t be this hard to vanquish a 4-inch tall man!”
I posted this on Facebook, asking if anybody could offer any insight into what it was trying to say. I don’t believe that we should put a ton of stock in dreams but I do believe that our subconsciousness’s can tell us things about ourselves through dreams … and sometimes God uses dreams too. That’s what I think anyway.
Some of the replies on Facebook were interesting.
Your future intimate relationships are questionable. (I’ve thought that about myself for a while.)
You are trying to find out who and what you really are. (My future is uncertain, so that makes sense too.)
You need a tetanus shot. (I haven’t had a tetanus shot in years … But I think this guy was joking.)
I could see the battle meaning that I’m feeling under pressure and the sword meaning that I’m trying to prevent impending changes in my life. I wonder if the miniature might have been a mini version of me, which might mean I’m feeling small? Unworthy? If so, unworthy of what? Who knows.

In the next dream, I was in a plane. I remember that the plane was not crashing but people were trying to escape anyway. The crazy part though, was that everybody jumping out with a parachute got sucked up into the engines and ripped into a burst of bloody guts. And everybody who jumped out without a parachute seemed to escape to complete safety.
I could see the desire to escape the plane meaning that I feel like I’m not equipped to handle the ambitious things ahead of me. And maybe the failings of the parachutes mean that I’m struggling with the strength of my faith?
–
The third dream was at a rock show and an old friend was there. I tried speaking to this friend but struggled with stuttering and, instead of being patient, she criticized me, attacking my character is hyper-severe ways … as if the stutter was the root of everything that’s wrong with me, as if it’s something I’ve chosen to wear or something. This was weird because she’s usually a lovely and delightful person!
Maybe dreaming about an old friend is my subconscious’ way of telling me that I’ve been acting immature? The appearance of my stutter in my dreams doesn’t happen very often, but every time it has, it usually meant that I was hiding how I really feel in my waking life, or that I fear that my feelings are not being “heard”.
–
I believe we need to be careful with interpreting dreams because it seems to be a sneaky way for malevolent thoughts to whisper into our heads … But maybe people who believe in Jesus don’t have to worry about that? If you’re the kind of person who prays, maybe you could pray that I be blessed with wisdom and discernment as I wonder what these dreams mean.
Regardless of what the dreams mean, I do feel like I’m going through a bit of an interior struggle these days … It’s not something I can express or explain and I guess at the end of the day, since dreams can’t express anything beyond what we already know deep down, maybe these dreams are just echoes of this thing I’m trying to figure out. Oh, to have clarity.

In other news, I bought this bad boy yesterday.
It’s a Instant Power XP2260 6-in-1 Jump Starter by Schumacher Electric. ROCKGASM!
It can jump start your battery, it can inflate flat tires, it can be charged via lighter adapter or wall-plug, and said charge can be used to power accessories with either lighter plugs (portable TVs) or wall-plugs (my Nintendo 64). Basically, the only thing it can’t do is cook Chef Boyardee and tuck you in at night.
I believe that every band in the world should travel with one. I sent Schumacher Electric an email telling them that and they’re gonna send me a sticker for our trailer that says: “Powered by Schumacher Electric”. Now people will think we’re electricians!
Maybe they’ll try to steal our electrician tools. Ack! What have I done?!
