Dream Zone

Dream Zone for the week of July 12-18

Lauri Quinn Loewenberg

Two years ago, my pastor publicly humiliated me, yelling and screaming with others around. He was out of control. I dreamed of him not long after that lying in a casket with a navy blue suit on.

Lauri: Part of you probably wanted him to drop dead after treating you like that, huh? It seems as though you were saying, through this dream, that he is dead to you now. Treating you like that, in front of others no less, was not at all a proper way for a pastor to behave. This incident probably “killed off” a certain amount of respect you had for this man. You probably even considered leaving that church altogether, which would essentially “kill off” his role as pastor to you. Death in dreams is rarely about an actual physical death, but rather about an ending, something coming to a close. The color of his suit is also significant. Very often, blue in a dream points to depression. I wouldn’t doubt that you got a bit depressed after that experience.

Dorothy replies: I woke up this morning with such a heaviness. Your reply has truly uplifted me—I know that God is shutting that door at that church because He wants me to move on. Part of me does not want to because I have belonged to that church for 12 years, but the spiritual part of me knows it is time. The pastor’s part in my story is over. Thank you for helping me to see it with much more clarity. Bless

you!
