CORNflower Blue

Sharing a revelatory dream, received the last week of Jan. '07, with some insight following.
In my dream I was above viewing, and observing a woman. She seemed to be indoors in a house. The details of the surrounding were not shown me clearly, yet I feel this must have been a 'home' because of her subsequent activities. The woman herself was clear to me, as she was the highlight of my watching in this dream-scene.

This woman wore an old-time cotton circular cap having a small ruffle on the edges, and a matching era long dress. Both were made of light blue cotton, and were the color of Cornflower Blue. The material had tiny white flowers patterned -- which reminded me as I looked, of flour sack material from long ago times, even a cloth that Early American women and pioneers / settlers did use for making clothing.
She had medium colored brown hair, some of which was peeking out of the edges of her work cap; The woman was of a pleasant 'average' face -- so that nothing stood out to me about her in particular, other than her historical times, and past era clothing.

I saw this woman first standing working with her hands on a project laying on a work counter, there in front of her. She was concentrated upon her task.

Next she moved on, taking several steps to a new place, to work repairing a quilt, while she was seated. After what seemed to be a short time, she arose to go to a next place and another project, as I watched.

* In this dream, there were about 5 or 6 of these stations in a circular route which this woman attended, with each place being several steps apart. She moved from place to place going from one to the next project circumventing, circling in a counterclockwise rotation.

The woman worked at each place for a time, and then she would move on to the next station in this ordered sequential circle-trail, to another project of handiwork (working with her hands) -- in this counterclockwise route she walked.

I cannot now recall clearly the various projects she took up to do at each station, except that they were all handiwork's concerned with basic home and family type-needs that were worked on by this dream-woman whom wore that old fashioned Cornflower Blue colored dress and work cap -- i.e. There was the sewing and quilting project, and a repairing of shoe soles at one station, and similar family projects needing her attention and work .....

Lastly, she moved continuing counterclockwise to her final station, which had her coming full circle in my dream-viewing of this scene. Here she began to work with her hands kneading a very large rounded bread dough on a work counter.

This, her final project station was right next to her starting point (work counter) of this dream.

-- and I then awoke,, to ponder this dream with The Lord.
--------------------------------

As I have asked The Lord about this dream, I've been given to understand that this dream was addressing work[s] (hands), which may be obviously apparent from the woman's busy, yet caring and care-filled work in these separate projects she encounters.
-- As well, and connected to the 'works of the hands' (woman's hands) I have sensed the dream to also be addressing "ministries" (five fingers of the hands = five ministry persons listed in Eph. 4:11-15), whom are involved in Christ 'work' (both in the natural, and in the spiritual -- 'work') in this very "hands-on" fashion, as depicted in this dream.

This dream-woman may represent some portions of our Lord Jesus' church: The body of Christ, some of "us".
The theme of going back to 'past times' (counterclockwise rotation), and the 'old fashioned' clothing of the woman, are some dream-symbol reference to previous-past, a going back in a clock-like reverse fashion to these stations to fix some things that need fixing, to repair what was (past tense) left in bad shape, torn, damaged, worn out, and etc..

However, I don't believe this dream is depicting long ago olden times as portrayed literally in the dream, but that it is addressing our more recent church history, and our personal individual histories as well,, of these past years.

The dream-woman working at a counter in some of the places in this dream, and her trail of going counterclockwise, may both address in the way of symbol language, our own wise 'counting of the cost' before embarking on a like-trail as this dream-woman. Please see Lk. 14:27-33

The representation of "family" via this dream is evident, also (the house/home/caring woman), and is important in all of our gathering's together, and in our relating to one another as the family of God.

In this dream, a theme of "bread" is strongly evident:
cornflower blue colored clothing,
likened to: flour sack material to me even as I dreamed this dream.
And the dough in the dream finale' which this woman kneaded.

*note this final one, for it is no longer a repair project in the 'dream scene ending' -- rather it is a preparatory one, as this woman comes full-circle after fixing and repairing those projects at each station presented her; To now prepare / knead this dough (next, to be formed into loaves, to be raised up, and then to be baked for 'the hungry people'! )

Jesus speaks,
"I am that bread of life." - Jn. 6:48

"But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God." - Mt. 4:4, & Lk. 4:4

Concerning one of the messages of this dream: In our lifetimes (in the western church) -- For us to know that portions, places, spots exist in Christ Jesus' church from out of some of these past stations, as it were, and they need fixing ... this is a 'no brain-er' for most of us, right? We can all understand this part. However,

* What about on the personal and individual level of you and I ? For "we", each one of us whom are believers and followers of Christ Jesus, individually make up the corporate body of Christ. -- Rom. 12:12, I Cor. 12:12. (dream woman, in part)
Are you and I whom this dream may be directed to, are we ready, willing, and eager to go-along on this dream woman's trail, also?
Willing and desiring even to allow the true hands and fingers ministries (- Eph. 4, referenced above) to do their precious handiwork fixing in some of our own needy parts and places which need repair, reviving, or restructure? Spots needing fixing from our past trails (stations), as it were,, in us, each one ?
If so -- This is humility 'In Christ'.

* As well, if you are a ministry person (- Eph. 4), likened to the hands and fingers of this dream-woman; Firstly, gift-ministry-person, are you willing and eager if needed, to fix in your own selves and lives, to repair some of those past torn spots, and damages as symbolically portrayed in the above dream ?
If so -- This is humility 'In Christ'.

* Are we all, as in the next steps of 'the work' after the fashion of this dream message: rectifying, reviving, repairing, pouring in oil to soften the hard parts, in our one another-ing 'work' by HIS' love, thusly 'edifying the body', one another, Jesus church?
Giving-out in ministry a repairing cool cup of refreshing water, a healing, a bread to the hungry one,,  giving-out of Life; corporately, and to HIS' specific body parts and places, and to individual persons, each one.

I trust this dream will speak to some of you whom read this, and that it will even witness and be a confirmation for some of you, in this way,

... Believer, you are on the right and righteous trail presently, even if it may seem backwards, or seem a strangely convoluted reverse order to you!  It is not. It is of God.
 

May we have some further assurance via this dream's message that we are truly 'going for the gold', heading-in for that full circled filling up, fully baked golden topped bread, of LIFE sustaining properties: our Lord Jesus Christ, Whom is The Word.
