<p style="margin-top:0.01in;margin-bottom:0in"><font style="font-size:11pt" size="2">God
has laid this on my heart many years ago, but in 1985 it took on a
new urgency, and in 1995 I taught a class to some 20 or so for a
quarter. Now in 2007 He is saying to do a bit more.</font></p>
<p style="margin-top:0.01in;margin-bottom:0in"><font style="font-size:11pt" size="2"> Let
me introduce this article by repeating an unusual dream that God gave
me in 1985. While I was in Point Roberts, BC, I came across a book on
dreams written by 3 Catholic Charismatics. Later in Camrose, Alberta
I purchased a copy of it, but it is now mislaid, and I don’t recall
the name of the title. As a subtitle it read – “37 ways of
interpretation in doing dreamwork.” </font>
</p>
<p style="margin-top:0.01in;margin-bottom:0in"><font style="font-size:11pt" size="2"> While
I was reading it, the Spirit spoke to me – “Would you like to ask
Me for a Destiny dream? I can show you how I see you, and how you can
cooperate with Me in letting Me have a more effective right of way
through you.” I immediately assented.</font></p>
<p style="margin-top:0.01in;margin-bottom:0in"><font style="font-size:11pt" size="2"> That
night I had a vision of the night in a dream. I found myself in
Washington D.C. As I was looking over a beautiful green grassy area,
I saw a man approaching me. He was about 5’ 6”, and was dressed
in casual gabardine slacks and shirt – but quite expensive looking.
By his coloring, I assumed he was from a northern Mediterranean
country: Italy, France or Spain. I knew he was a medical doctor.</font></p>
<p style="margin-top:0.01in;margin-bottom:0in"><font style="font-size:11pt" size="2"> As
he got closer, I could see a slight smile of greeting on his face. He
then said, “I am here in response to your request last night to
receive from God your destiny dream.” You can imagine my emotions
and sensations!</font></p>
<p style="margin-top:0.01in;margin-bottom:0in"><font style="font-size:11pt" size="2"> He
continued: “The answer is in one word. You will discover that it is
like a rose bud. Receive it gently and carefully. You will find that
it will open up, and in its fullness all you need to know will be
there. The key word is ‘Cervantes.”’</font></p>
<p style="margin-top:0.01in;margin-bottom:0in"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-top:0.01in;margin-bottom:0in"><font style="font-size:11pt" size="2"> I
immediately wakened, and wrote down in detail all I could remember.
The book above that I mentioned has a “TTAQ” formula. The first
“T” stands for Title. If you were writing this up for a newspaper
article, write out a title for it 8 words or less.</font></p>
<p style="margin-top:0.01in;margin-bottom:0in"><font style="font-size:11pt" size="2"> The
second “T” is for Theme. What is the main thought coming across
to you in the dream?</font></p>
<p style="margin-top:0.01in;margin-bottom:0in"><font style="font-size:11pt" size="2"> "A"
stands for affection or feeling. What was the main emotion or feeling
you experienced during the dream and following it?</font></p>
<p style="margin-top:0.01in;margin-bottom:0in"><font style="font-size:11pt" size="2"> “Q”
stands for Question: Question the Holy Spirit as to His purpose and
thought behind giving you this dream.</font></p>
<p style="margin-top:0.01in;margin-bottom:0in"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-top:0.01in;margin-bottom:0in"><font style="font-size:11pt" size="2"> When
I finished this, I had come to the conclusion that the dream had
something to do with a medieval Christian sect, probably in Southern
France, that had been under persecution. I did dreamwork along this
line for about an hour till the Spirit interrupted me and asked –
“Don’t you think you should go downstairs and consult the
Encyclopedia concerning “Cervantes?” </font>
</p>
<p style="margin-top:0.01in;margin-bottom:0in"><font style="font-size:11pt" size="2"> Chagrined
that I hadn’t thought of this myself, I immediately obeyed. I soon
discovered that I had been entirely on the wrong track. Cervantes was
only mentioned once in the Encyclopedia, and it had nothing to do
with a Christian sect. It related to a man from Spain. At the age of
20 he joined the army, and went to fight the Turks in Cyprus with the
Greeks. After 5 years of this he decided to return home. But his ship
was captured by pirates from North Africa, who held him for ransom
for 5 more years until his relatives and church in Spain could raise
the ransom money. </font>
</p>
<p style="margin-top:0.01in;margin-bottom:0in"><font style="font-size:11pt" size="2"> When
he got back to Spain at the age of 30, he was so tired of the old
world, that he made an effort to follow the lead of Columbus and go
to the new world. But his government said, “No! We will not give
you permission for this. If your relatives and church raised money
for your ransom for 5 years, the least you can do is to stay around
and show your thanks this way. So you can live, we give you the job
as a tax-collector.”</font></p>
<p style="margin-top:0.01in;margin-bottom:0in"><font style="font-size:11pt" size="2"> But
his Spanish people were so poor, that he sought help from God to
bring their lives together. God in answer gave him the plot for the
first psychological novel. The hero represented the spiritual part of
man, and his servant Sancho Panza represented the practical part.
Many of you will have guessed by now that the hero was Don Quixote. </font>
</p>
<p style="margin-top:0.01in;margin-bottom:0in"><font style="font-size:11pt" size="2"> I
read this book when I was 17, and was so disgusted with Quixote for
his in my opinion stupid decisions, that I threw the book away, and
to this day have not finished it! But from the Encyclopedia I learned
that in his 50’s Miguel Cervantes wrote the first half of this book
to help his poor fellow citizens put their lives together, and then 5
years later wrote the second half. Nearly all psychological novels
since follow the insights developed in his book.</font></p>
<p style="margin-top:0.01in;margin-bottom:0in"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-top:0.01in;margin-bottom:0in"><font style="font-size:11pt" size="2"> By
now I realize that the man in Washington D.C. was a Spaniard. Then
God spoke to me in answer to my questions. He said, “In your
spiritual part you are somewhat like Don Quixote, and can become so
spiritually oriented that you miss it. But the practical Sancho Panza
part of you, when balanced with the spiritual, will make you useful
in My hands. Every week for the next 2 years I will give you 2 or 3
dreams a week as a check up, to let you see how you are progressing
in getting it together.” Which he did!</font></p>
<p style="margin-top:0.01in;margin-bottom:0in"><font style="font-size:11pt" size="2"> “However,
when you do get it together, you still won’t be fully useful in My
hands, for the Quixote part of you will still unduly predominate. But
your wife Marie has the practical side of Sancho Panza. When you and
Marie are able to fulfill the “Two Are Better than One” goal,
that I set before you for your marriage – than you will enter into
an Intercessory possibility that I told you to call ‘Spiritual Star
Wars.’ Through the prayer multiplication of one driving 1000 to
flight, but two driving 10,000 – and even greater possibilities
through the ‘Automated Laser Telescope,’ you will understand why
I call this for you – your Destiny Dream!”</font></p>
<p style="margin-top:0.01in;margin-bottom:0in"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-top:0.01in;margin-bottom:0in"><font style="font-size:11pt" size="2"> Marie
and I have seen the actuality of this on numbers of occasions, and
are awed at its potential and possibilities. Dreams again are part
and parcel of this.</font></p>
<p style="margin-top:0.01in;margin-bottom:0in"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-top:0.01in;margin-bottom:0in"><font style="font-size:11pt" size="2"> Now
for some practical steps to understand dreams in a general way.
First, it would do us all good to read Bob Ekblad’s “Reading the
Bible with the Damned.” Here he shows that he serves as a
facilitator or midwife when reading the Bible with the marginalized
people of our nation. He carefully refrains from suggesting answers
himself. Instead he has prisoners and disenfranchised read the
Scripture portion, and then asks leading questions so they can find
correct answers what God is really like.</font></p>
<p style="margin-top:0.01in;margin-bottom:0in"><font style="font-size:11pt" size="2"> This
is exactly the role for a dream interpreter. He DOESN’T interpret.
Instead he asks questions of the dreamer to let HIM discover the
symbols in his own dream that could apply ONLY to himself. I have
symbols in my past that God brings up in my dreams that you could
never understand, and vice versa. When God wants to get my attention,
he has my father appear in my dream. My ‘donkey ears’ go up right
away. I know this dream is from God, and my father is a symbol of an
attention-getter. One time he used George Hawtin, the leader in the
1948 Northern Canada Visitation. God HAD my attention. This took
place in July 1992. This symbol possibly would not have meant the
same thing to anyone else. And you have specific people and scenes in
your past that relate to you, and I couldn’t possibly interpret
them for you. I can only ask questions to help you see your specific
symbols and understand what God is saying to YOU through them.</font></p>
<p style="margin-top:0.01in;margin-bottom:0in"><font style="font-size:11pt" size="2"> Another
thing about symbols. Dreams are primarily SYMBOLICAL. They are NOT
literal. Let me qualify that. 2-3 % of dreams are literal. For
instance, Joseph, step father to Jesus had 4 literal dreams for
guidance. The wise men did also. Pilate’s wife did too. But all 6
literal dreams related to Jesus for His safety.</font></p>
<p style="margin-top:0.01in;margin-bottom:0in"><font style="font-size:11pt" size="2"> The
first error most dreamers fall into is to literalize their dreams.
God’s forgotten language is NOT literal. It is like the book of
Revelation. It is a book of SYMBOLS. So are your dreams, except for
rare exceptions. Look at the symbols that God can use between the age
of 2-5; 6-12; 13-18; 19-30; 31-50; 51 and up. Help the dreamer come
to his own interpretation by understanding the significance of past
events, people and objects, and help him to see them as symbols that
God loves to use. </font>
</p>
<p style="margin-top:0.01in;margin-bottom:0in"><font style="font-size:11pt" size="2"> Note
also, that every believer should learn to understand what are symbols
unique to him, and how to use them for his own dream interpretation.
Now with an unbeliever it is different. They don’t have the Holy
Spirit to help them as does a believer. So Joseph had to interpret
the dreams of the butler, the baker and Pharaoh. But he interpreted
his own dreams. And Daniel had to interpret the dreams of
Nebuchadnezzar and Belshazzar. But we should not try and interpret
the dreams of fellow believers. Instead we should work with them in
helping them understand these things until they can interpret their
own dreams. </font>
</p>
<p style="margin-top:0.01in;margin-bottom:0in"><font style="font-size:11pt" size="2"> Note
too that we need the gift of “discernings of spirits” in
connection with dreams. All that glitters is NOT gold. All dreams are
NOT of God. As a rough rule of thumb, maybe 5 % of our dreams deserve
dreamwork. Maybe 5 % or more are night mares and from demons of the
pit. Then perhaps 90 % are from our own subconscious – from the
flesh part of it, which Solomon says are brought by the multitude of
business (Ecclesiastes 5:3). Or perhaps too much pizza too late at
night! </font>
</p>
<p style="margin-top:0.01in;margin-bottom:0in"><font style="font-size:11pt" size="2"> I
recommend that we discern the 5 % of dreams from God, and do the TTAQ
on them. It is a waste of time trying to get something out of most of
our dreams. Each one of us has a dream every 90 minutes of sleep in
our sleep cycle. Even animals and birds have dreams. They are
necessary for our total health. But those from God have unusual
meaning over and above that.</font></p>
<p style="margin-top:0.01in;margin-bottom:0in"><font style="font-size:11pt" size="2"> Angels
are vitally connected with dreams and all 9 of the gifts of the
Spirit of 1 Corinthians 12:8-ll. In chapter 14, Paul tells us that
the SPIRITS (angels of the prophets) are subject to the prophets.
Notice how often angels are present when the gifts of the Spirit are
functioning in either Testament. H.A. Baker of “Visions beyond the
Veil” fame, saw this in operation in the Chinese Orphanage he and
his wife conducted in S.W. China. He also saw it operating in Ka-Do
land of that part of China. Sadhu Sundar Singh of India also saw the
reality of this, and here the two of them agreed.</font></p>
<p style="margin-top:0.01in;margin-bottom:0in"><font style="font-size:11pt" size="2"> Note
also the symbols used by Jacob in Genesis 49 and Moses in Deuteronomy
33 with the 12 tribes of Israel. Hebrew names are significant. If the
character of a person changes, then there is a name change. See Jacob
to Israel; Abram to Abraham; Sarai to Sarah. See also the linkage of
an animal with the tribes. Issachar and the donkey. Naphtali and the
deer. Judah and the LION. No mistake here. Then see that each tribe
is identified with a beautiful colored precious stone. These are
found in Exodus 28, and the order of the tribes and the stone is in
Numbers 2. Each of us as individuals can be linked with one of the
tribes, and find that the prophecies of Jacob and Moses can be
helpful to us too. We will find that this linkage of symbols and then
our own symbols from our past life that God can draw upon, all help
to make our dreams not only meaningful – but tremendously helpful.</font></p>
<p style="margin-top:0.01in;margin-bottom:0in"><font style="font-size:11pt" size="2"> Look
at Job 33 and the insight of Elihu on dreams. Dreams according to him
have 4 main purposes. I like the one that keeps us from pride. We are
all prone to pride, and why, we will never know, for we really have
nothing to be proud of. Paul says all we have, we have RECEIVED!
So how on earth can we be proud of what we have received? But there
is a more serious matter with Job's 3 friends. How can we receive
help from one that God says did NOT speak right with his 2 companions
as Job had done? Why did God want the sayings of these 3 “not so
good” friends in the Bible? And He DID! I think it was to give us a
test to see how astute we are.</font></p>
<p style="margin-top:0.01in;margin-bottom:0in"><font style="font-size:11pt" size="2"> See
what God said to Jeremiah – “If you will take the PRECIOUS from
the VILE – you shall be as My mouth” (Jeremiah 15:19). I believe
what Elihu has said here in Job 33 about dreams is precious at this
point, but much of what Eliphaz said is vile. We have to be as wise
as serpents and as harmless as doves. If we will read the Bible
together to get what God is REALLY saying, like Bob Ekblad and his
friends – we will develop a sensitivity and understanding to the
real thinking of God both about the Bible as well as about our
DREAMS. The two go together. </font>

<p style="margin-top:0.01in;margin-bottom:0in"><font style="font-size:11pt" size="2"><u><b>IN

writing this for a limited readership – who I call a Team of
transforming Embryonic truths into MATURITY. Dreams will be a real
aid and help in this. We can pray for one another, and God will help
us develop as a team to receive corporate insights and revelation
that none of us alone would receive. </font>
</p>
<p style="margin-top:0.01in;margin-bottom:0in"> <font style="font-size:11pt" size="2"> Many
are not sufficiently serious to walk in the discipline that is
necessary to let God have His perfect way in this area. Paul said –
“These light afflictions are not worthy to be compared to the glory
that is to be revealed!” I agree – but all do not see this.</font></p>
<p style="margin-top:0.01in;margin-bottom:0in"><font style="font-size:11pt" size="2"> I
