Daniel:: Who's Informing Your Story?

Dreams are a lot like clouds. 

People see what they want to see when they look up into the sky and when they look into the dreams of the people around them. One of the things that is scariest is to share a dream you had with someone who has strong thoughts and opinions about what dreams mean. 

So I dreamt I was flying.                                            You probably need to quit your job. 

So I had a dream that I was drowning.                      Cut up all your credit cards. 

I woke up from this dream about a dragon.               Call your mother.

 While the certainty that some feel about interpreting dreams is a warning sign to me, I think it is safe to say that dreams are a sign that something is going on. In the book of Ecclesiastes it says;

A dream comes when there are many cares

Whether dreams are our subconscious working out our biggest problems, or our brain running threat simulations, it usually is a reflection of increased activity in life or exhaustion. 

This Sunday as we continue our Daniel series we're going to look at chapter 2 where Daniel is interpreting the dreams of the king. What kinds of universal truths can we pull from a story about a leader's dream from 1,800 years ago? (Ha! That's a fun sentence!)

More than you might think and I hope you'll join us as we explore the power of the stories that we tell ourselves while we are awake or asleep.
