I have just been advised that my job will be made redundant on Jun 26, but have been shortlisted for four positions that I've applied for recently.

I'm hoping that the dream is prophetic, and that I will be warmly welcomed into a new organisation!

There was a natural gas (used for heating) shortage and I called in on a motor garage café to buy breakfast. The lights were all out there. There was a long queue and there was a limited menu because they had no power. I didn’t end up ordering and went outside. It was also dark there as I tried to find my motorbike and protective clothing. I came upon a park bench and was going through a leather jacket that I thought was mine. As I opened the wallet in it’s pocket a plain clothed policeman arrested me and accused me of stealing it.
I had to call my office to let them know I would be late in, and felt embarrassed about this situation, but confident that I was innocent

I visited a coastal town and was welcomed into an Aboriginal tribe and took part in the ceremonies and taught about their culture. This included a greeting ceremony and dancing. I noticed that there were an overwhelming number of women.

They had a fire ceremony and the container holding the fire fell over, but it was put out, and there was no damage to the floor surface.

Everywhere there was a myriad of colours, and everyone danced, carrying multi coloured arrangements like sticks with flowers on the end.

I was introduced to one man from my home town. It was explained to me that he had recently lost his father. He gently scolded the woman telling me by saying that she shouldn’t have bothered me by saying this.

I felt overwhelmingly loved and accepted.

I ordered a light brown patterned coffee mug with a marbled effect online from my place of work.
I felt warm and positive at the time.

Thanks Darrell

Thanks Darrell for your comments

I'm open to the leading of the Spirit in all these things, and appreciate any comments on this website, however the Word says to test all things and seek confirmation from a number of sources, including the witness to my spirit, advice from my close brothers and sisters, responses to prayer and those who have the gift of interpretation of dreams etc, so I'm not about to jump to any premature conclusions.

I understand the difference between walking in faith and doing things in the flesh, and within my humanity I try to do the former.

Thanks for the blessings

Thanks to RnestseekR for your input too.

For your information, we have been in drought conditions and tight water restrictions for the past couple of years, so most of our lawns here are struggling to survive (it's illegal to water them from our taps). I'm hoping that's the reason for this symbol, and not my spiritual state!
The dark pink outer walls could be a reflection of the fact that my wife and I recently visited friends interstate who are building a house, and its outer walls are painted dark pink (it wouldn't have been my choice of colour!)
This house is rectangular, and the roof is used to collect rainwater for their rain tanks which are currently full.
As Darrell says, the dreams sometimes need to be put into context. I tend not to give all the background to my dreams until I see the offered interpretations.

Hi pwilso512

can't think of anything at the moment, but thanks for your interest

I purchased a house with dark pink coloured walls, a flat roof and with a large squarish section in the rear. This section of the house had dead grass as its flooring, and was previously used as a carport or garage.

I met my new neighbours, who owned a sand and gravel supply outlet, and discussed buying some sand to cover this floor area, and was also considering buying some cheap carpet to cover it as an alternative.

I was in the front lounge of my old house in Hurstville, and was going through some old vinyl LPs that my sister Barbara owned. There were two from the 50s era with pictures of Morgan Freeman on the covers.

We also talked about a funeral being planned for a wheelchair bound young man that would be held at Hillsong church the following week. In real life I had attended a wake for this young man, who was the brother of my nephew’s wife.

I went to a café during a morning tea break at work. I purchased a doughnut shaped cake plus coffee and sat down at a table. Two schoolboys sat down at the same table without checking with me and bumped my coffee and spilled it. I asked them to move on and they ignored my request. I called for the café manager and asked for a refund. He responded that he would give me credit for the coffee and cake.

On my way back to the office I met another schoolboy who knew the previous two. He gave me the names and contact phone number of the two earlier boys so I could contact their parents about the matter. I was considering whether to do this, as I knew that this information breached their privacy.

Thanks Darrell

I guess we do what we can with the Word and the understanding and maturity God has given us at the time.

My experience so far with dreams is that only with hindsight that I can completely understand their meaning.

What you've said makes sense to me.

Hmmmmmmmmmmm I wonder if this means that some of the advice I'm getting from this site is well meaning but incorrect?

Thnks for your interest Jodi

Thanks Butterfly

That's also what my wife has been telling me for some years

Thanks guys

Hi Butterfly

I think he was screaming and fighting it off, the crocodile was a large saltwater (not long nosed). Sorry, can't add much more.

Thanks darrell

:thinking

Your responses are almost as cryptic as my dreams!

Thanks guys

I am looking to find another job after being given notice that my employer will lose the program I'm currently working on as at Jun 30.

Waiting on the Lord has always been difficult for me to do

Hi Butterfly

There have been several crocodile attacks in the Northern Territory lately (a long away from here). I don't know any of the victims that I'm aware of.

The dream didn't indicate a location to me, sorry.

It's possible that the dream was prophetic, but I'm reluctant to claim credit without further confirmation or evidence.

The interesting thing to me is that crocodiles roll their victims over in the water to make their kill (see the second paragraph of the dream).

Thanks for your interest.

I was waiting at a multi platform train station, and the trains going to my destination (Hurstville) were stopping at another platform, and the ones stopping at my platform were either full or going to the wrong destination.

I watched a naked man get attacked and eaten be a crocodile in the shower. I ensured I had something sharp like a pitchfork to defend myself.

In the next part of the dream I was being coached by Gus Huddink the Australian soccer coach, he was working on correcting a problem I had with my body being out of balance in that I was rolling it over onto the right hand side. His wife, who was also an elite athlete, became involved, and I told her that I played squash.

Thanks Jodi

Good idea

I was collecting my son Nathan from jail. He had been mowing lawns. I asked him what he had learnt from the experience. The prison warder responded that he had let me down, although I didn’t feel that way. It was a mixed gender dormitory, and we were both relaxed and didn’t want to leave.
(Note, in real life my son has never been in trouble with the law).

Hi mldarrell

What you say makes general sense. This situation has affected all of my 4 children and their partners, as well as my wife.

I acknowledge that it affects my emotions when I see my children hurt, but I'm not sure God expects me to distance myself from the emotions, but just be wise and trust Him.

I probably have crossed the line in defending my daughter, but I think she's worth it

Thanks for your input

I think I just connected with the meaning of this dream! The ribbon probably represents the efforts that I've been making to try to protect my daughter from her controlling ex-husband.

There have been some harsh exchanges between him and me, but hopefully it has been "fixed"

Thanks Peter!

Hi Peter

One of my daughter's is currently trying to extricate herself from a relationship with a very controlling person.

The upside is that my once very stormy relationship with her has improved dramatically since she returned home to live with us again
