UNLOCKING THE MYSTERIES OF DREAMS

be so careful. Our mind is prone to think on negative things. An 
old saying is: “If we don’t keep paddling our canoe upstream, 
we will drift downstream.” This means that we have to go 
against the natural tide of unwholesome thoughts. 
Natural thinking can also be in need of change. One 
time I dreamed that my husband and I were in the garage with 
brooms in our hands getting rid of all the spider webs. An old 
friend came along and observed us. We killed some insects that 
were still alive. 
Interpretation: The spider webs signified natural, 
logical thinking, nothing fresh but stale, maybe even deception. 
The broom is a symbol of sweeping things clean. Because we 
were in the garage, we took it to mean that our means of travel 
and method of travel would change. The “old friend” signified 
the religious friends with whom we grew up. The insects signi-
fied some other nuisance, which could bother us. We need to 
keep the fresh air flowing (the wind of the Spirit) and be aware 
of any new enemy. However, this doesn’t cause me to fear, for 
according to Philippians 1:28, (I am) in no way alarmed by 
your opponents, which is a sign of destruction for them, but of 
salvation for you and that too from God (NAS). 
Some of us may carry “baggage” from years before as 
a consequence of some bad decisions we made. Satan and our 
flesh may be most “helpful” in reminding us of these mistakes. 
A dream may expose some of those bad feelings, hurts, guilt or 
fears we have not dealt with. Maybe a certain person comes up 
in a situation that still needs healing. God will expose this to 
help us clear it up. He wants us to be made whole and prosper 
in body, soul and spirit. We can pray for the washing by the 
Blood and His power in us to forgive, and bring blessing on the
