Part 29
Dream dialogue
Dreams speak but most people miss the language locked up in their dreams. The Bible tells stories of individuals that experienced many extraordinary dreams. Let's explore one together.
The Butler's Dream
Genesis 40 vs. 9-10
(9)And the chief butler told his dream to Joseph, and said to him, In my dream, behold, a vine was before me;
(10) And in the vine were three branches: and it was as though it budded, and her blossoms shot forth; and the clusters thereof brought forth ripe grapes:
(11) And Pharaoh's cup was in my hand: and I took the grapes, and pressed them into Pharaoh's cup, and I gave the cup into Pharaoh's hand. The interpretation.
Genesis 40 vs. 12-13
(12) And Joseph said unto him, This is the interpretation of it: The three branches are three days:
(13) Yet within three days shall Pharaoh lift up thine head, and restore thee unto thy place: and thou shalt deliver Pharaoh's cup into his hand, after the former manner when thou wast his butler.
The butler's dream appeared to be a simple dream yet it had so many symbols that had to be deciphered to extract its meaning.
Joseph interpreted it by first looking at the branches and his interpretation showed that each branch symbolised a day. The blossoming of the branches meant restoration of the Butler's job. Then the final part had a direct interpretation.
Every dream can carry different symbols. I remember a dream I once interpreted. In my interpretation, the Lord allowed the dreamer to correct her human resources isssues and how she was losing clients because of her workers. A dream can hold keys to basic issues of every day life. And the Lord uses them to direct us and lead us.
Begin to treasure your dreams and seek understanding of each dream.
Two new symbols of dreams and visions:
1: grass - man (1 Peter 1 vs 24, James 1 vs 10
2: trees - leaders, life, days, influence, fruitfulness (Daniel 4 vs 20)
God bless you!
Apostle Humphrey
