The first dream I had last night, prior to the one I posted earlier about the lost paycheck, had to do with fear. As I recall, I was in a house, and I think I was working on a kitchen (until 6 months ago when the Lord told me to stop through 3 dreams with Scriptureal confirmations, and on time with God answering my prayer to close down a job I was going to put all I had into, I was a carpenter working in home remodeling industry for 41 years...I just turned 60 a month ago). But I got a sense of something evil in the bathroom, so I walked down the hallway towards the bathroom, and the closer I got, the more fear began to paralize me. Just before I got to the bathroom door, I was so fearful of what I would see if I took another step, that I froze in my tracks. I then realized I was dreaming, and that my wife was laying next to me in reality, and I started trying to cry out to her in my dream saying, "Wake me up", but for numerous attempts, I knew my physical mouth in reality was not yet moving. I kept trying, and eventually, I did get those words out, which she did here as I was waking up. Fear is from satan, and we need to put fear and anxiety to death, and operate in "power, love, and sound mind".
Blessings in Messiah!
Richard, I felt the Holy Spirit prompting me to go through the symbols in this new bathroom dream, and then to write out what I believe the Lord is showing me with regard to the message I believe is there from the dream. So, this is what I believe the Lord is showing me with regard to your dream:
This new dream (ambition, goal) is in continuation of, or in addition to, or consequential to having as one’s goal or ambition (dream) to avoid repentance (the forsaking of one’s sinful practices), and to avoid coming clean about one’s secret sinful addictions, out of fear of being exposed and found out, because of having to reveal one’s sins, especially to one’s spouse. And, this is a continuation of, or in addition to, or the result of not wanting to be cleansed of sin in the sense of putting it to death in one’s life - so that a person can now walk in the Spirit in purity, holiness and righteousness - and this is because this someone loves his sin more, so he doesn’t want to give it up, and that is why he fears going into the bathroom.
Ok, so the continuation of the above, or in addition to the above, or the result (or consequence) of the above is that this person also is or is now indifferent, apathetic towards the bathroom, i.e. this getting rid of the filth and the garbage from our lives, coming clean about our sinful practices, and being cleansed of our sins in the sense of being delivered (set free) from our slavery (addiction) to sin. So, this has a sense of progression to it, that because of the fear of the bathroom and it continuing, now the person is hostile and indifferent with regard to repentance and salvation from sin.
So, this person is now talking (proclaiming, teaching), together with the flesh, a cheap substitute for the bathroom, and a cheap substitute for Jesus Christ, too, proclaiming a gospel that has been reduced, condensed, trimmed down to something small (insignificant), which is of the sin nature, which is apathetic towards repentance and obedience to Christ, and which is a carbon copy (fake, not the real deal) of the true gospel, and which has at its very core the flesh, filth, and worldliness.
And, this fake cheap substitute for the real gospel (the bathroom) is fixed in soapy (foamy – superficial, shallowness, fluff) or (foam-covered, i.e. fluff to conceal) water – representing the Holy Spirit, eternal life, and our cleansing from sin. So, this is about a substitute gospel for the true gospel which is all fluff, sugar-coated, shallow, superficial, for it leaves people still dead in their sins, still in bondage, and with no deliverance from sin via the bathroom – dying to sin and being cleansed and reborn and living to Christ and to his righteousness. And, this is happening now.
And, this fluff gospel, which is a cheap substitute (replacement) for the true gospel (the bathroom) is now the uppermost opposition against the true gospel. And, this is happening big time right now. In other words, the true gospel as Jesus and his NT apostles taught it is now coming under fire and is being attacked by these who are teaching this flesh-driven fluff gospel which delivers no one from slavery to sin, but which just conceals the sin or placates it or coddles it. And, the Lord had me write about this in the post, “Oh, Crystal!”
By way of follow up to the above mentioned bathroom dream, this morning I had a very cool bathroom dream, which involved me speaking with a man who was instructing me on how valuable even the smallest grains of diamond dust were, which was caught in the soapy water on the countertop. God spoke to me through this, about how much He values each of us, regardless of the mistakes that we've made or how able bodied we are, or how we appear physically....His desire was to save each last little grain. It also occured to me as I prayed about this, that God's promise to Abraham was to make His decendants as numerous as the grains of sand on the sea shore. That is quite the promise, and I believe we should apply that to evangelism as well, but let's be sure we evangelize with God's heart regarding the value of every person in the world! Now I'd like to transition just a bit to reality. Last Thursday, my wife, abortion survivor and pro-life speaker and author Carrie Fischer and I traveled from Houston to Galveston, where she was invited to share her abortion survivor testimony with numerous medical students and the University of Texas. Her talk was very well received, and during the question and answer time, we were given opportunity to witness to a pro-abortion woman in the audience who asked tried to justify abortion because it was now much safer for the mother being legal, We reminded her that being a medical person, she should know that a baby's heart starts beating at 22 days, usually before a woman even knows she's pregnant, and given that the hippocratic oath includes, "Do NO harm", we lovingly asked her how she could justify breaking her oath by stopping a baby's beating heart. She had nothing else to say at that point, and we trust some seeds were planted that day, and at some point in the future, she will have a change of heart. After our time with the medical students, we went to the beach, spent some time with the Lord and with each other, and had a little fun drawing in the sand, collecting shells, and taking pictures and videos. The following collage of pictures is our new facebook cover photo, which uses 3 pictures from the Galveston trip, as well as a photo from Carrie's appearance on Andrew Wommack's Internationally broadcast, "Gospel Truth" show, and a photo we received from the mother of a child who had decided to give birth to this precious baby because of watching Carrie's testimony on one of the rebroadcasts of her interview! Praise God from whom all blessings flow!!!
You may not be a public speaker and author like Carrie, but there is always something you can do to stand for these innocent children, and below are just a few we'd like to suggest.
1) Pray for the unborn, as well as for those who do not yet understand the reality of what they are doing to them or just do not care because of the money loss it would mean to them.
2) Talk to Pastors and other group leaders and media people in your area or in your sphere of influence, and suggest that they prayerfully consider inviting us to speak.

Richard, another thought on this, related to what I said previously is that this sounds like people, again, who are afraid of confession and repentance because they are afraid of people finding out their deep dark secrets, and this is very common place today with so many people addicted now to porn (mostly men, but some women, too), but who struggle to tell their spouses the truth, and so they don't tell their spouses the truth until they are spiritually awakened, and then the words come. I have a lot of experience in this area (husband sex addict) so I know of what I speak, and I have a history in that area, too, which I have given public testimony to on the internet.
My wife has woke me up out of some tough spots in dreams. Maybe three times all together. She hears me or wakes up by the Holy Spirit... and then thwacks me on the chest. Works great.
I’m still trying to teach her that a gentle nudge will do.
Bathroom in my dreams is usually symbolic of the gospel. For it is there that we get rid of the filth in our lives and we are washed clean. And many people truly are afraid of that, for they are afraid to come into the light lest their evil deeds are exposed.
Many professing Christians are caught up in secret sins, usually sexual immorality, porn addiction, more specifically, and God is leading them to the bathroom but they are afraid because they don't want anyone to know. They especially do not want to have to confess to their spouses, and so they remain in their addictions unchanged because they fear what will happen if they come clean, or they fear letting go of their sin for they love it more.
