Dreams of killing a snake

Tuesday 6 June 2023

Music in my ears first thing: “Amy”, Pure Prairie League.

Dreams overnight:

  1. An office/work setting, dark and frustrating. I saw someone there whom I worked with, someone I need to pray for, because he was under a major attack of darkness pressing on him.

  2. There were long involved scenes with family and many others in very unsettled and uncertain circumstances. There was a large snake in our house that was hiding and wouldn’t leave. Before I could go after it, rain began to pour down and a flood began. Everyone had to leave immediately.

    I was the last to go, standing in a torrent of water sweeping past my feet and rising. The snake turned bright green (it had been brown and mottled, camouflaged) and started swimming towards me. I was now in water up to my chest, but standing on something solid, some sort of submerged raft. There was no time to get my knife out as it came at me, so I grabbed it by the neck, putting both thumbs on its throat and squeezing until it died. It was trying to whip me, wrap itself around me, but I wouldn’t let go until I had finally killed it.

    I hadn’t realized how long it was, but I began to gather up its coils until I could hurl it far away. I heard myself roaring louder that the flooding river around me.

    The submerged raft then swept me along to reunite with my people.

Visions: An explosion & rescue in Washington DC, and a thundering herd

Sunday 4 June 2023

Sometime between 1:30 and 2pm I stretched out to rest and meditate. Almost immediately after I closed my eyes, I had a number of crystal-clear visions. The scenes were changing rapidly so I can only recall the first two with any accuracy.

In the first vision, I could see armed soldiers closing in around a familiar building in Washington, DC. It was not the White House or the Capitol building, but it was someplace official, and the building had been secured from the inside. I could see the teams of soldiers positioning themselves, moving to cover all the exits. A number of large, unmarked busses began to pull up behind me, also with heavily armed personnel driving them and guarding them.

There was suddenly a very loud explosion – I audibly heard it[1] – and the doors to the federal building were blown open. Smoke and debris flew out and swarms of soldiers rushed in. Immediately some of them began to carry children out and to the waiting busses. There were people taking tender care of the children, wrapping them in blankets, getting them onto places to lay down and be treated.

I did not have any idea of how many children were taken out, but then some adults began to be removed, many in handcuffs and under heavy guard. They were being taken to another set of vehicles, which were waiting in an alley off the main street.

I was about to move in closer when the vision changed.


I was in a place of forests and fields, and I heard the oncoming thunder of a vast number of large animals. Leading the way at a full gallop was a single horse and rider, huge and streaked with rippling flames. I had just enough time to think, “It’s Holy Spirit!” Coming on behind at full speed was a massive herd of horses. The noise of that many animals overwhelmed any other sounds; I could feel their heat, smell the sweat and dust all around. They were riderless, of all colors and sizes, and it seemed they were being taken for training and assignment. Near the end of the herd, a large number of spotted horses appeared (Appaloosas? They were mostly white with lots of small brown spots). The spotted ones were being separated out, directed into large stables or arenas. Each one was being uniquely named before being sent onward for their training.


[1] At about 3pm a “loud boom” was heard throughout the Washington metropolitan area. “Officially” it was reported to be a sonic boom from a jet fighter which had scrambled from a nearby airport.

I will satisfy you

Sunday 4 June 2023

Cool, almost chilly at the shore this morning. I hadn’t taken ten steps when the Lord asked me:

Yes, Lord, all these and so much more.

Thank you, with love, your child.

I know your every step

Thursday 1 June 2023

It is evening, the light fading, and I am walking Luke after dinner. I am washed by a feeling of safety and protection. It’s hard to describe, but I feel my feet being lifted up gently with each step. Some quiet prayers begin to come out of my mouth: “I give you all my praise, for how overwhelming in majesty and glory …”, and my Lord says:

            I know every step you take, child, and I know all your steps to come.

If I was overwhelmed before, I was flooded with a sense of eternity. “How is this, Lord? How is it that you know the steps of every one of us?”

It feels, of course, inconceivable, that You know every person, creature, plant, breath of air, or wave on the ocean.

I stand still in the night air, considering a small patch of fine-grained sand on the side of the road. “You know exactly how many grains of sand there are here, don’t you? You know how many molecules there are in me at any instant. I praise your awesomeness.”

We are large and complex compared to other living beings, yet we are very, very small on an earth-scale. As soon as I thought that, and looked up, he replied:

            And consider My heavens, child, every twinkling light.

I see the stars appearing, think of God’s covenant with Abraham, that He would make his offspring more numerous than the stars. Literally: countless.

“Yes, Father, we are in awe, in holy fear for this life, this awareness of you and your immensity and intimacy at the same instant. I …”

            Love You.
