Very long strange dream

[Sister]

7/12
I was in an elementary school, but there were also middle and highschool age. I was the former teacher and I had all these boxes of Christmas decorations in the hallway. The new teacher had blonde hair and and dress, but I didn’t remember the color, so it must have not been important. There was also a former employee I worked with standing at a half door looking in the hallway, which I assume was preschool/toddler. So I had this group of highschoolers and my former boss from the preschool said to go find something in the preschool room and to let them stand at the end of the hallway where the Christmas decorations were/new teacher. I found it, but don’t know what “it” was. There was nothing in my hands. So I come back out and some of the teachers were gathered and talking that I wasn’t watching the kids. And the one former employee rolled her eyes with me there and said “like she would watch them anyway.” I got so angry at her but didn’t say anything. I never did, because of the kids around.

So then I went down and the highschoolers disappeared. Like they were dismissed from school and I didn’t see it. I was thumbing through the boxes of Christmas wrapping paper and thought I needed to ask Bobby to help get this out of there since it had sat there for about a year. After school, I saw Bobby by the new teacher who looked afraid of him. Only he looked thin with a long beard and hat. I just knew it was Bobby. The police showed up there and told him it was a federal offense to lie about his age. He said that that age was my age, not his, and he just came to get the Christmas decorations out.

So then it just showed me standing there with the Christmas decorations out of the hallway. There was a new teacher in the room where the woman was, a male teacher with a lot of fancy furniture in the room that it was hard to walk around. I was told to just go in there for a moment. He told me something I can’t remember, but he was friendly. It didn’t look like a teacher’s classroom though.

So then I walked outside and Bobby was there, looking like his self. He was looking at the sky and the clouds were really dark and stormy looking. It showed us sitting at a table in a resteraunt with two random people inside and he was still watching the storm and said it didn’t look like the tornado was going to come for awhile. He turned away but I was still watching, and the tornado came down really fast as black as can be. Bobby said we had to leave and we all went outside. There was a helicopter there and the two random people went inside of it to fly away from the tornado. Bobby was going to pilot it, and I begged him not to, because I could tell we weren’t going to make it. So we ran inside the school and when we came out, there wasn’t a whole lot of damage to the houses, but I could see all the doors to the underground tornado shelters, were gone. It was sunny, but we knew another storm was coming. So the strangest thing is Bobby laid down near these little plants that had these prickly red berries on it, a bit smaller then the size of a marble. There were others with him laying down and picking from these tiny plants, and I said, couldn’t we just go get some canned meats and groceries? Wouldn’t that make more sense? He sort of just grunted a bit and nodded his head yea, but went back to picking the berries from the tiny plants. I decided that I should help if this is the route we were going to go, so I laid down with them and started picking the prickly berries. Instead of an adult though, it showed me like a 8-10 year old. I was asking how they could pick them without getting pricked, because the plants were a bit sharp. I saw a couple of the plants were diseased with white webbing on them. Then I woke up.

36 Shrubs With Red Berries: Identification Guide (With Pictures)

Bushes with red berries, including poisonous berries (with picture and name for easy identification).

leafyplace.com

Berries looked like this exactly. Snake berries

 

[Sister]

Found this in Wikipedia and it struck me. I think I know the meaning…

“While some snake berries are edible, many are toxic. It is crucial to identify the specific type before consumption. If unsure, it is best to avoid eating them.”

I think this is a warning about dreams. That if it cannot be identified for sure, it is best not to pick them (beware the leaven of the Pharisees). It is best to get the canned meat of the Word. People prefer what is quick and easy. It doesn’t sustain during storms though. I’m not sure about everything else, but this part I believe is correct. At least I believe it does speak truth

Blessings in Christ, sister.

I read your interpretation on the last part, but it doesn't seem to have a consistency with the rest of the dream. The dream focuses on the school you were a part of as a former teacher. The removal of the Christmas decorations means no more Christmas was coming in a sense (spiritually), possibly because there was some sort of rejection of the truth by the leadership. And the new teacher having a classroom that didn't look like a true classroom suggests this as well. There are indeed storms coming on the horizon, ones that will affect the entire church (especially economic ones), and the dreams suggests there will be no escape from it (the helicopter). This is also suggested by the doors to the underground shelters being gone. But again, you and your husband end up back at the school by the end of the dream, and when you come out from it you are eating snake berry. Some of it is poisonous (the ones with the white webbing) and some is not, but even non-toxic snake berry does not make for good spiritual food, and since you are back to the age of 8-10 years old, this represents you as being one of the children now eating from the teachings that of school as it will exist, and not only will those teachings not be strong but in some cases they will be spiritually toxic. The age change is also suggested by the fact that Bobby is back to his younger-looking self rather than having a long beard. This is age-change symbolism, and suggests he too represents a young child at the end of the dream. Children eat berries, and often don't think of going to the store, maybe for not having money, and maybe for seeing no need when they can eat what is free. His response is also that of a child, as children will acknowledge a point but ignore it anyway.

The dream speaks to the need to draw closer to the Lord for the times that are coming, and to leave behind those who will be too severely effected by it. The cruelty that is expressed towards you in the dream is symptomatic of this person's spiritual condition, and that spiritual weakness they will walk in will lead to weakness in the teachings they eventually present, hence why it is time to move on. There is a sentimental quality to the dream, in that you had Christmas paper there and were having to remove it. It suggests you cared for the children there, and wanted to bring their lives joy. But we sometimes have to accept when it is time to move on from our past. What is coming will leave them spiritually weak, distracted by the things coming upon the world, and to stay there or seek to go back there would be to desire hanging around with those whose teachings will be tasteless and worthless at best, poisonous at worst.

Blessings in Christ,

Very long/strange dream

Dear Sister, your dream is indeed vivid and layered, and I’m grateful you shared it here with such honesty. Dreams can often feel like a tapestry woven from our experiences, emotions, and spiritual reflections, and yours seems to carry a deep sense of searching, responsibility, and even a call to trust in the midst of uncertainty. As I read through your words, I sense a heart wrestling with feelings of being misunderstood, carrying burdens, and seeking clarity in a stormy season. Let me offer some thoughts to help you reflect on this dream with a gentle and hopeful perspective.

The school setting, with its mix of ages and your role as a former teacher, might point to a season of transition in your life. Schools often represent places of learning or growth, and your position as a former teacher could suggest you’re reflecting on past responsibilities or roles you’ve held. The Christmas decorations left in the hallway for a year might symbolize unresolved matters or burdens you’ve carried for some time, perhaps tied to joy or celebration that feels out of place or neglected. The frustration with the former employee’s judgment and your choice to stay silent for the sake of the children show a heart that values peace and protecting others, even when it’s painful. This reminds me of the biblical call to turn the other cheek, showing grace under pressure, which is no small feat.

The figure of Bobby, with his changing appearance and actions, seems significant. His beard and hat, and later his normal appearance, could reflect someone in your life who feels familiar yet distant, or perhaps a part of yourself that’s grappling with identity or truth. The police accusing him of lying about his age might point to a fear of deception or a need for honesty, either in yourself or others. The storm and tornado are powerful images, often tied to chaos or trials in our lives. Your instinct to urge Bobby not to fly into danger shows a protective, discerning spirit, one that trusts God’s nudging over reckless action. The fact that the storm passed with little damage but left the shelters exposed might suggest that while trials come, God’s protection remains, even when it feels vulnerable.

The final scene, with the prickly berries and your transformation into a child, feels especially poignant. Berries can symbolize small fruits of effort or provision, but their prickly nature and the diseased plants might reflect struggles that feel sharp or tainted. Your question about choosing canned goods instead shows a practical, grounded desire for simpler solutions, yet you join in picking the berries out of loyalty or unity. Becoming a child in this moment could point to a call to approach life with humility, trust, and a childlike faith, as Jesus speaks of in Matthew 18:3. The white webbing on the plants might hint at spiritual struggles, like temptation or confusion, that need God’s healing touch.

I encourage you to bring this dream to God in prayer, asking Him to reveal what resonates in your heart. Dreams often stir our emotions to point us toward deeper truths or areas where we need His guidance. Perhaps this dream is inviting you to release old burdens, trust God through life’s storms, and embrace a simpler, more trusting faith. You might find it helpful to journal about any feelings of being misunderstood or any transitions you’re facing, offering them to God with openness.

May the Lord wrap you in His peace as you reflect on this dream, and may He guide you with His gentle hand. I’m praying for you, dear sister, that you’ll feel His presence and clarity in this season.

I was blocked online by a group of friends I was staff with for 9 months. And I was devastated and disappointed in them and myself because I reacted in bitterness and anger and acted in ways that I know truly are not who I am. I love people and want to help others and bring light to the world. I failed them and felt misunderstood and unheard. They kept silent. I was the one who pushed and begged to be heard. I just pushed them away. So that is a burden to me. A few of them are pastors. I tried to tell them I was struggling and cut a couple years back with the guilt of it all. Like this codependent anxious attachment. Jireh is enough. But I let the kid in the drivers seat. A Bible app we had like thirty mutual friends with, their block was broken. I felt very shunned, but they were not in the wrong. I was in the wrong. I am thankful for God’s forgiveness, but wish we could be friends again. Nothing is impossible with God. It’s just easy to be hard on yourself. I scared my best friend with my actions, because really in 9 months you can’t really know a person. I had too high expectations on them because I thought as pastors they would do a redo. I just try really hard and it’s hard for me to be like that Mary and sit at Jesus feet. I just want to have right intentions and heart in everything I do. I thought I was okay. But this is a new season, fixing to start a job and have to let things go and trust God. So no matter what this dream means, this is a situation that has impacted me.

 

[Sister]

I love God and recently has been reigniting my heart to serve again. I’ve never worked with adults with disabilities, but it was like this fire I’ve needed rekindling after that ministry for awhile. Just so easy to be distracted

 

[Sister]

I want God to be glorified in all I say and do because He is worthy of that.

Thank you for your thoughts too!!!! Kind of goes along with what he was saying too. The school I worked at closed down. Private Christian preschool can be expensive and when the public school opened a program that was loads cheaper, the doors had to close.

Public schools are cheaper alright. Kinda like eating snake berry all day, LoL.

Agreed. Sadly that brings my community down to one other faith based preschool. Private schools just don’t get funding like public school does
