22 June 2024
This dream came the day after I prayed I would not “date” the lady from the dog walks, and repented. I had gone ten days with no dream. I receive this as a prophetic dream — a gift.
The dream
I dreamed I was going to training for the dragon-boat team I used to belong to. The waters were flooded before I got there. The water was so high I had to get out through the window of the taxi.
When I arrived I did not know the members. Most of them were not friendly. I was looking forward to physical training. Because of the bad weather they had decided to go and eat somewhere instead. The captain of the team was a lesbian. She did not have a training program for me. I was not on their list.
On the way to the eating place I sat next to a guy who was trying to feel my leg. I ignored it. We chatted about something. I do not remember what. It was probably food.
After the dream
I was on the Antioch Seminar on Paul and Peter (17–24 June 2024), a TUTKU tour through Antioch, Tarsus, Cyprus, Perga and Attalia. 22 June was the Cyprus day: Paphos, then dinner and overnight in Northern Cyprus. The two nights there were booked at Noah’s Ark Deluxe Hotel & Spa (Nuh’un Gemisi) in Bafra.
On this same trip I met the Catholic priests — the ones who later asked what was the most exciting dream I had ever had.
The next morning I sat on a bus that was separate from the disciples. It was not the usual bus I take. The usual bus is with the disciples. That may be what the dream of the hand on the leg was showing: I was not in the usual company.
It was also odd to see a Facebook post from the Dragon Boat Team — the team I used to be a member of — training in wet weather for a race weekend. The caption said the weather could not keep the *** Seniors team down. In the post they were still out on the wet ground.
That team, in real life, was headed by a lesbian woman. The dream had already shown that.
What I take it to mean
The man who tried to feel my leg is someone on that trip walking in sexual sin. I suppose he was impure. In the dream I ignored him. The next morning I was on a different bus, not with the disciples. That is where a stranger sits beside you. That may be why the dream put a hand on the leg.
The captain in the dream matches waking life: the dragon-boat team I used to belong to was headed by a lesbian woman. In the dream I was not on their list. They had no training for me. That team is not my life now.
I take the whole dream as prophecy. It came after I prayed and repented. It is a gift. It still has to be weighed, not swallowed whole.
“Let two or three prophets speak, and let the others weigh what is said.”
(1 Corinthians 14:29 ESV)
The water is already high before I arrive. I get out through the car window. It is coming out of the water — for people who have already been baptized.
Noah was not drowned. He was brought through the water and lived. Peter says baptism corresponds to that.
“…when God’s patience waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was being prepared, in which a few, that is, eight persons, were brought safely through water. Baptism, which corresponds to this, now saves you, not as a removal of dirt from the body but as an appeal to God for a good conscience, through the resurrection of Jesus Christ.”
(1 Peter 3:20–21 ESV)
“We were buried therefore with him by baptism into death, in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, we too might walk in newness of life.”
(Romans 6:4 ESV)
I was already staying in a hotel called Noah’s Ark. I only learned that later. The name sits next to the dream: come through the water; do not climb back into what the water judged; walk as one who has already come out.
“Flee from sexual immorality.”
(1 Corinthians 6:18 ESV)
“And such were some of you. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.”
(1 Corinthians 6:11 ESV)
227 — repent and be holy
After this I was with other disciples. I was encouraging them about communion. On 24 June I dreamed something and forgot it. I woke at 5am. I said goodbye to the Bible tour-mates at 5:30, 6:30 and 7:30. I was praying and wondering about the dream I could not remember. This was the morning of the flight home, the departure hall was number 227. That was the same number as my hotel room the night I stayed before.
On https://findgod.help, in the seven-phase study, 2 means repentance and 7 means being holy. I read 227 this way: when I encourage people and do communion, I must repent and be holy.
At the airport, flying back, I described the dream to M****** C**. That is when he said the hotel was Noah’s Ark. I had not seen the name until then.
“Let a person examine himself, then, and so eat of the bread and drink of the cup.”
(1 Corinthians 11:28 ESV)
“As he who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct.”
(1 Peter 1:15 ESV)
“Since we have these promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from every defilement of body and spirit, bringing holiness to completion in the fear of God.”
(2 Corinthians 7:1 ESV)
The wet-weather post from GDS was a strange echo. So was the hotel, once I knew its name. So was the hall that matched the room. The warning is simple. Do not join what is unclean. You have already come out of the water. Examine yourself. Do not rush the bread and the cup. Repent. Repent. Be holy. That is how to encourage and do communion.
