The dream
I dreamed that my dog and I went to a bar to meet a girl I know. She was like my ex-girlfriend. She had invited me out to drink beer. She ordered a big long pint for me and for herself. I had trouble finishing the beer.
She met her abusive work colleague and ended up kissing him. I could not bear to see it. I left the bar while she was still with him. I managed to finish the beer.
I wandered the shopping complex and thought about what had happened. I got into a lift with my dog. The back of the lift had a bad odour. The odour was not as bad when the lift went down.
I had to get out at floor one. I thought I was going back to the bar to find my ex. I came out instead at the top of a construction site. It was unstable and shaking. The foundations were shaking. My dog was following me. I saw him crushed by a shifted car. His paws and legs were flattened as he came down out of the lift. My poor innocent dog.
What it was
The girl in the bar is the lady I fancied while walking the dog. The work colleague is another person who was competing for her affection.
The dream was a warning not to “date” her.
She invites. The drink is long. Then she goes to a man the dream already names as abusive. I cannot watch. I leave. Going back through the lift looks like a return to her. It opens onto shaking ground. The dog only follows, and he is crushed. He is innocent. The dream does not command harm to him. It shows the cost of going back.
“Flee from sexual immorality.”

“Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers.”
(2 Corinthians 6:14 ESV)
“Everyone then who hears these words of mine and does them will be like a wise man who built his house on the rock… And everyone who hears these words of mine and does not do them will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand.”
(Matthew 7:24, 26 ESV)
“The prudent sees danger and hides himself.”
(Proverbs 22:3 ESV)
What I did
I ignored this dream initially. Then I received no dream for ten days. That made me anxious.
I prayed that I would consciously not “date” this lady. I repented of it.
The next day I received a dream: 22 June 2024. This was a “gift”.
