I had a dream on October 8th, 2012 - The setting was I was in a home that appeared to be mine or a close friends home. During the dream there is a knock at the door and it is a search party led by authorities. They said they want to search the outside of property. We gladly agreed that it would be fine for the them to do so. In the dream a couple of years went by and there was another knock on the door when the authorities saying they have found something. It was like they were searching the yard for years.
The moment in the dream turned so surreal as my mind scanned back years ago with a vague recollection of someone who was murdered. In the dream I did not murder anyone, but knew that I would be in trouble as I was aware that someone could have been murdered and never said anything. The best way to describe how I felt in the dream, was as a remorseful person who did not act on behalf of someone, and years had gone by with me acting as if everything was just fine. It was a clear since that the authorities will comb every inch to identify who had been transgressed against *(I awoke and could not quit thinking about the dream for two days.)
The first thought that echoed in my mind was 16 years ago I was in a hotel in downtown New York and at about 3:00 AM I was awoke by the screams of a woman who sounded like she was being murdered (this was real life). Being in NY for the first time, I did not know what to do. I got out of bed and the screaming stop. I went back to bed and the screaming started again. I spend one hour wrestling with the thought of knocking on the door where the screaming was. This 16-year lapse with this new dream on Oct. 08, 2012 appeared to get my attention, that I have not spoken up and defending people as much as I should have. I have been aware that society is perishing and decaying and have not spoken up as frequent as I should. The authorities in my dream representing God is ready to expose all the death, sorrow and suffering that has been hidden, and as in my dream I will be remorseful that I have not spoken up during the last 16-years like I should have. God will search every square inch of our lives and see where we allowed transgressions to go unnoticed or hidden without speaking up on behalf of those who have been transgressed against. God is bringing to light many things in our day.
Lord, help me help those who have been transgressed against and speak up against those who freely transgress against others in a more active manner.
