Jesus Is A Tough Guy, Rides A Harley

[rocketsquirrel]

I dreamed I was in a little rural area visiting a relative at a nice little modern house. The relative wasn't there, but a gang of big tough guys riding Harley's and wearing leather took over the house and the town . The cops wouldn't even come here because they were afraid of the gang. I decided I wouldn't want to get in trouble with these guys so I was going to just try to stay out of their way while they were here. If any luck, they will move on eventually however, this was short lived. The group divided up. There were a couple of nasty characters who would scheme people out of their money and were just evil, then there was this giant of a man. He wore black leather, and a black cowboy hat. He had shoulder length curly black hair and a beard, kind of like Bluto from the Popeye cartoons only more real, bigger, and tougher. I was afraid of him. He told me that he knew me long before I knew him and he admired me. It was as if he was a proud father. He said I'd come far in developing good character. He also protected me from being harassed by the evil gang members. He invited me to join him in a secret plan to uncover hidden money buried in a chest a long time ago, and dividing it between ourselves without letting the rest of the gang know. He seemed to think I knew where the money was buried But I had no idea what he was talking about. Then when he began to ask me questions as to where the chest of money was buried, the answers came to me quite naturally. I realized the information was encoded in my very being by GOD when I was made, and over the years, pieces of that information would come up in my dreams and thoughts however, only this piticular man could trigger my memory of this information so that when he asked, I would automatically answer! I led him to the spot in the yard where the chest was buried. We unearthed this chest that looked like a pirate's chest and it was filled with crisp, clean money in large denominations. He said to me, "I'm proud of you! That's my girl!" He smiles, laughs, and slaps his knee. He was just beaming because he was so proud of me. Later on I asked him, what did he do with the money? He told me he invested it; half for himself and half for me. I got this wonderful reassuring feeling, even though he showed the chest was now empty, that he spent my half well in my best interest. I decided not to tell the other people. They seemed like perverts but this big man was honorable. I wondered when I get to see the result of my investment and what that would be.

My thoughts on the dream:
As I thought about this dream after I woke, the more I believe the big man in the hat represented Jesus. He would have known me long before I knew Him. The curly black hair and beard is the style traditional for Jewish men in Biblical times. He would've encoded my DNA. He would be the one who would be looking out for me, protecting me, & reassuring me. So I think that makes the bad people of the group demons and wicked people. I am not sure what the hidden money represents, but the dream indicates its something I was born with knowledge about, and only brought to understanding by Jesus as to the meaning of that information. Perhaps its information on why I was put here on earth to do? Both Jesus and myself benefit, Jesus gets his work accomplished and I'm rewarded which how the story goes in the Bible for the good guys. The buried chest of money may be a reference in the dream to a couple of Jesus' parables: parable of the Ten Talants and the parable of the Treasure Hidden in a Field.

BUT, I am not exactly sure what the money represents, certainly not real money!

Storing riches in heaven! God enriches our lives if we let him. It may not always mean that we will be rich or be like kids in a candy store getting whatever we want. Sometimes it is hard to figure out what we are supposed to do, which path God wants us to follow. We have to be tuned in to our world in order to know how we are to do his heavenly work. You have to pay attention to the call verses the desire. You tuned into Jesus on a Harley. . .you are paying attention!

well you are very religious I understand. Jesus will oftne be a symbol for your own attempts and the attempts of others to put across their views.

Someone around you may have attempted to put across religion in a very coool way. So the harley maybe represents the wish to communicate with people in a certain way.

To understand the dream mind you need to understand neural networks. Neural networks store up information by comparing one thing to another. They store moments when you felt similar. For instance one time you may feel extremely exhausted after you finished some exams. So when you have a dream it may point to this event as a way of expressing how you feel about some current event. Put simply a dream therefor says "I felt tired yesterday after completing the work tasks. I was really as tired as I was after I finished my exams last year". So a dream really express our feelings by pointing to a series of unrelated metaphors.

Dreams tend to build up a meaning using a series of metaphors. So a dream may feature you "feeling tired", "feeling confused doing a puzzle" and finally "getting drunk". So the dream mind is actually building up a set of feelings by pointing to a series of feelings you felt previously. These seemingly unrelated events and feelings may simply be pointing to the previous day when "I felt tired yesterday at work. I steadily getting more confused. By the end of the day I was totally incapable of making any rational judgements". So in that way getting drunk expresses how you felt INCAPABLE at work the previous day. Its in this way that metaphors build up a dreams meaning. But the dream mind is refering to these almost like a list such as "felt as tired as I was during the exams", "felt very confused" and "I was aiming for a target".
