I have to say that since I'm back on the island, I have had very interesting dreams, very pleasant dreams and very freeing and liberating dreams.
But let me tell the dreams I had this morning, that at first I thought were just regular, but nice dreams. Afterwards, I think they were not just nice dreams...
In my first dream I was swimming in the ocean, you can say at Caracasbaai, but not at the beach but near rock formation. Okay, in this pic below You see at the most far side this rock formation, no beach there. I was swimming there with my cousins. Similar-ish. The water is very deep and dark blue and we had a stairs to climb out. (Do you see that building on top? Keep that building in mind for the next dream, but I'll post another pic around that time).
So me and my cousins, especially those that are adventurous like me and love to swim (Samantha, Renato, my sister, Glenda, Lucretia) I don't know exactly which ones, but my generation and family.
We were having a blast, especially me, with this seal. I mean, actually there are no seals in the caribbean sea, i think. They are more in cold waters. This explains our excitement with this seal.
The seal was by it self and was like a puppy who wanted to play with us and we just had a blast with him. I could hold him and he would drag me into the waters, like a torpedo. And there was also either a dolphin or a penguin(!) Another animal that is in cold waters that joined us. So our fun was exploding.
My aunt Joyce called us: she wanted to take some pictures of us, of all her nephews and nieces.
I got out with the seal under my arm ánd the penguin under the other arm. I was so excited to have them in the picture with us. But my aunt took like a thousand pictures of us and she wanted us to pose in the most standard, most obvious, boring way: the shortest people in a line in front and the tallest in a line behind, all next to eachother in a neat line, standing straight. And she just took the same pictures over and over again, she was standing straight in front of us and we had to smile etc. You get the picture, the 'official' boring way of taking pictures. I ran out of patience although I couldn't wait to see the pictures with the animals in it!! They were very calm, but i worried about them. I think they were drying out. They needed water! So after a while I started to rebel: i took all kind of funny poses, from different angles and positions and I put funny faces. And I certainly didn't look into the lens anymore. Then I told tante Joyce, okay that's really enough we need to get back into the sea and I ran into the ocean with the animals still under my arm. We kept playing with the sun glistering on the water.
I wanted to see the pictures afterwards so badly, but I was worried that there were no pictures, since I was dreaming (lucid dream)
Dream 2:
The next dream I was on a cruise ship that was quietly sailing on a VERY LUSCIOUS and beautiful closed-of river, like in the Amazone, so no open sky, beau-ti-ful green and flowers everywhere and birds and colors. It was magical and this huge cruise ship was tightly going thru all this beauty. Well, dreams are crazy. But again: i was with lot's of people and we were very happy. Kinda like the Logos Hope ship but bigger and we soooo enjoyed God's creation, as if, yes that's how it felt: this was a part on the planet nobody has discovered yet before.
Dream 3:
Now this dream is very funny too.
I was having a lunch break from work with my friend Lukas (by the way: Lukas has read this blog and is totally on the prayer team and is totally into my vision, he told me today :). So I was with Lukas, chitchatting, we were super relaxed, we enjoyed our work so much and were on a break and we felt so GROUNDED in God's love and God's family: we felt we were doing our calling and the satisfaction was super. So then we were having our break on a dock.
The dock was actually again near Caracasbaai, just like where I was swimming with the seal and the penguin, but a bit further where large ships dock.
Large ships, tankers, oilrigs normally park there. (for real too, see picture above, and also see this one building on top to the left to the left ;) You see, that's where we WORK. A HUUUUGE cruise ship was approaching the dock. It was totally silent, it just moved nearer and nearer and was so high that you couldn't see the sky! We were waiting for a friend who worked on that ship but she was to far somewhere into that large ship that she had someone deliver a package for us. It was a colorful package with candy, like exotic japanese candy, (I watched a Japanese movie yesterday) and we were psyched that she gave us that nice gift. Right after the guy gave the delivery, the ship backed away and left very quickly, but we found it all the most normal thing. There were the heavy-duty workers on the deck of the ship (so now there was a deck, I guess the back part of the ship since it was so high at the front). and the men were acting really excited. they were acting crazy as if in heat or something. I sensed they were looking so crazily at me. So I asked Lukas: why are they acting like total idiots??
Lukas said very laid back and relaxed: oh, that's just because you are naked. I was totally nude. I looked down and wasn't even shocked or ashamed. I was like: yeah, duh. So what?! Why do they make such a big deal? It makes me a bit self-conscious if they act like that, although I was totally fine and confortable being naked. I was even especially happy with my broader hips, because in reality i don't have broad hips but wish i do. I don't remember if Lukas was naked too, or if he had clothes on. Just because I totally didn't notice, or paid attention to what he had on or what he looked like that day. I just knew I was with Lukas and that's it.
We walked back to work, the quarantaine hospital, our break was over.
I woke up and first thing i did is I told my parents my dreams, because I was so blissful in the morning, not a single worry in my system. It's all light, birds and breeze in my room, every morning. I felt a little taste of something in those dreams...
My mom said: oh that's funny: we just got the offer in the mailbox for the cruise ship trip to the Mediterranean we're going to take. (Spain, Italy, Croatia)
Then I whatsapped Lukas and told him he was part of a dream and he said he was thinking about the vision again and would pray for the dream i just had :)
Later in the evening I went to a bible study. It was about Genesis.
It was about at the beginning status / relationship we had with God. How we had sooooo much choice in fruit trees (but 1 tree). There are soooo many fruit trees in the world! There are sooo many beautiful birds. And other animals to play with. We were in God's presence and God physically visited us every day, say between 5 and 6.30 pm, in the cool of the day. Okay, so in Adam and Eve's case they were hiding from God, as they knew He would visit again as usual, and they heard His presence aproaching.
But before that they realized after eating the forbidden fruit that they were naked. I mean they were naked all along, but now they looked at eachother from the outside. Oh, you're Asian? Oh you're fat. Oh, you're blond! Oh, you're a bit old. We look and first see our appearances.
Before we were not aware of our appearances, because we didn't see it: we were into each others spirits. We were on a whole different level. I don't remember what Lukas was wearing or if he was naked too. I just didn't register all that, I only knew I was chatting to Lukas and I was very connected to him. I only saw his spirit, and felt connected with his soul. How weird is that, that you don't see the appearance of a person but only feel the person? You have a deep connection on a spiritual level and all the physical appearances of the other being don't matter, or you are just not aware of.
So in the dream: fact was that I was nude all the time, but had no notice cause it wasn't something to make a big deal about, i was oblivious of it. and Lukas said it totally matter-of-factly: oh, cause you're naked, and I knew that but whatever. But next to that: we felt so grounded, so in place, so purposefully. It was how one day it will be, either in heaven or in the 1000 years millennium, but I hope also a taste of this, in the old quarantine hospital building, restored. I'm not sure if we would work as staff naked though, but why not. I just think that it's a step too far for most Christians, both non-believers, as they connect sexuality with being naked. And we just aren't in the garden of Eden. But the feeling of that place, should be sort of, approached at this building, one day...
The day before I read in my bible:
Ephesians 4:28
Anyone who has been stealing must steal no longer, but must work, doing something useful with their own hands, that they may have something to share with those in need.
This is about Christians who were stealing.
It must feel great to do something 1. useful with 2. your own hands, that you are even able to 3. share with those in need. I mean: how satisfying must that be? that from your work the income even enables you to share. I think this is a wonderful goal: I would love to work in a way that I am able to look out for other peoples needs, meaning that my needs are probably already met and I don't even seek to have my needs met first. I won't be in that spiral where there is always something else that I would want. Like: I have everything, but now I want to have my own spa. Then after I have the spa, how cool it would be to have a yacht. After I have the yacht, but how nice it would be to go on winter sport every year. After I do that every year, but how nice would it be to go on safari again. And I would love to have those hand-made Greek beds worth 6000 euro and up, or how about owning this aweome trailer where... so with this starting point I never am really satisfied it seems.

Concluding: fine tuning the elements of the work I would like to do and that has me grounded in God's love and presence, fulfilled with purpose and satisfaction, by seeking for others needs, while being with animals and in nature and being totally confortable with my self, together with my brothers and sisters and family in Christ.
