Dream

I had a dream. But only remember a section of it...

In this dream, it was a pretty much state of chaos.. I 'think' the scenario was like broken down buildings and 'robotised' people following orders and the feeling one gets is that no one is supposed to break 'the rules'. Think of the book 1984 by George Orwell...

Then, two other people and me were 'following' a 'teacher' (not sure what we were doing) to go to somewhere (it didn't have a nice feeling). But standing at the back, we slipped away into a lift where there were 2 other gals wearing another school uniform.

And u know, with me and all those anime.. the girls were wearing Japanese uniforms with checked skirts. Hehe nice. And so we reached the floor that we were originally supposed to get off on, but we decided to wait and follow the girls.. they were going to another floor (at this stage I don't quite know if the lift was really going up or down).

In any case, the lift door opened and we came out into a totally new space --- we were in the middle of a real built up school, with 3-4 storeys of class rooms all around us left and right, with corridors and students leaning out looking into the small courtyard where we emerged from. It was bright and colourful.

And alas, we were in different uniforms (Now they were all white and we were the coloured ones).

So we pretended to be 'new' students who got lost and quickly said our class was 'that' class (pointing to the nearest random class we could set our eyes on).

What happened next is a series of blur.. but I recall a scene back in our 'original world', of seeing a group of students with both coloured uniforms (my uniform) and one with the white uniforms (the discovered classmates) walking together ? this signifies that our two 'schools' finally merged and there was no more 'barriers'.

Interesting?

Going deeper, I see it like this: We are in the world --- following our set rules of life --- it can seem dismal and chaotic, dark, bleak... But when we find God or maybe even simply during times of heightened awareness of a different life elsewhere? - we realise there's a new world altogether in another realm (of awareness or simply of any hidden potential that could be hidden in us). It could be an awareness of the spiritual as well. Think of the Matrix (computer world vs the real world)?

Then, as people who have entered that 'enlightened' realm (of seeing the new life that could have been) we aim to bring that life into our old areas.. to bring 'life' to those areas.

Spiritually, it's like we get an understanding or insight about God - and then bring it into our world - and try to get others to come with us up that lift to that new world and new life that God promises. HE says in scripture that we are new creations, the old is gone. So this marks how we have an 'old' and 'new' aspect of the human spirit. In Christ, we are made new. Without Christ, we are our normal 'old' selves. We need to be 'reborn' in the spirit each day to experience the Fullness of LIFE that God intends his creation (ALL mankind) to enjoy.

So there's my take on life now.. I want to find that new life (in God's Spirit) again and be rejuvenated..
