Sometimes I have had this dream in the past....
I'm in a small wooden sailing boat alone out at sea- A Gentle breeze is filling the white sails and caressing my cheeks as I sail the calm waters before me. I'm enjoying the sensation and peace with the clear night sky studded with sparkling diamonds . Bit by bit the soft breeze becomes stronger, clouds move across the skies turning dark and angry. Grumbling thunder and bolt lightning are on the horizon, and the once smooth ocean becomes massive waves threatening to topple my little sailing boat at any moment. My heart is pounding with fear and I cling to the boat with trmbling hands for dear life.... then I wake up.
I often have dreams of waters and floods when I'm under pressure or there are un delt with things weighing on my mind. Sometimes I watch helpless as the waters rise up, other times I have felt shame because its was things that I thought to save not people.Instead of swamping my thoughts with guilt the next day thinking I had some kind of character flaw that I didn't know about deep in my soul, I now look at it as a reminder from God whats't really important in life...people not things. Some of these dreams will become paintings.
I found this quote the other day while looking for referances in google.
Don't tell God how big your storms are....
Tell your storms how BIG your God is...
The next time I have that dream... I pray that the me in the dream levels looks directly into the heart of the storm with courage and faith knowing that I am saved- even if the little boat capsizes and I tumble into the sea...

Rene Russo from the recent Thomas Crown affair movie. The man with the bowler hat was part of the twists and turns in the movie, and totally irritated her!
