A Night to Remember

So last night I had dream.

I was driving in a car, and I was on this winding road, out in the middle of these really tall hills with grass fields spreading all around, and it was really dark and cloudy. I was driving really fast, and it was hard to make the turns, but then this huge helicopter started flying above me, and it covered the entire horizon, the whole sky, and the blades were whirring and it made it even more difficult to see what was coming ahead. My depth perception began to get all distorted and my eyesight confused by the spinning of the helicopter blades, and so it made the turns even more difficult, not only could I not really see them coming, my eyesight was confused and my depth perception off and so I couldn't even really tell if I was turning or not, or if I was turning at the right time, even when I realized I needed to turn.

But suddenly, I just let go of the wheel, and my car flew off the road, and I was apparently very high off the ground, because as my car began to descend toward the ground, I began to float out of my car, and so soon my car is gone and I'm just kind of flying through the air towards the earth below.

At this point the dream completely changed, I was still flying through the air, but everything was brighter, more vivid. Usually dreams are sort of fuzzy around the edges, never completely clear. This was the polar opposite of that, the clarity was breath-taking. So I'm falling through the air and there is a huge roller-coaster in front of me. I should also mention at this point I'm wearing this amazing purple jump-suit. So I stretch out my arms as I fall directly toward this roller-coaster and I reach out and catch one of the metal arms holding up the track. Then I climbed up onto the track and looked up.

When I woke up from that dream I was just like, "Wow! That was so clear!" And it sort of just stayed in my mind all day today. I came into contact with a few people and I just had to tell them about it. And I thought about it, and thought it was a pretty cool dream, but that was it.

Then, a few minutes ago I was in the kitchen at my work, washing some cups. And I just began to sing in tongues, and within a few seconds that dream came back into my mind, and God revealed to me that it wasn't just a cool dream.

He told me that the car I was driving in represents safety, what's safe. And I'm going through life in this little box, 'cuz I've learned how to drive in this box, and I know the rules while I'm in this moving box, plus I don't really have to work very hard to get somewhere in this box, I just put my foot on the pedal and kind of speed past everything. I don't really know where I'm going but I know I'm supposed to go forward, I know I'm supposed to be pressing towards God, but I'm sort of blindly rushing towards it. Things are dark because I lack understanding. Then the Helicopter is my secret sin, and the devil is kind of always throwing that in my face, and it confuses me and it hinders me from fully understanding where God is taking me, where He wants me to go. It messes my up my depth perception and puts fear in my heart, keeps me from trusting that God is going to take me through the next turn, I can't tell when I'm supposed to turn and I'm afraid.

My driving off the road is an accident, but God has intended it for good, through it He pulls me out of my safe little moving box and I begin to fly through the air, and as I leave behind the box of my former paradigm flash he changes my whole existence. Suddenly everything is clear and bright, I can see what's around me for miles in every direction. The jump-suit isn't significant, but the color is. It's purple. Purple represents royalty, and God was saying to me that He's going to clothe me in authority, once I leave behind my fear and secret sins and personal safety, he's going to give me a new authority that I'll walk in as I reach out and catch His calling. The roller-coaster represents my walk, my future, my destiny. It will be like a roller-coaster, with ups and downs, but unlike the road, the roller-coaster has a driver, has an engineer, who's in control, and as I let go and allow God to be in control He will take me to destinations I never before thought possible.

How do I know that it wasn't just some silly dream? 'Cuz I seriously was thinking about it all day, and talked to people about it, and the moment I began to pray in tongues, boom! It all clicked in my mind instantly.

Craziness.

I'm mostly posting this in order to remember it.
