I had this dream on 19/06/2024, some minutes to midnight. Always take every dream and prophetic insight to the Lord Jesus in prayer.
I had been praying and dozed off. I dreamt someone had intruded our home, a thief. It was night. I may have been washing utensils and had gone outside through our kitchen door to pour out some water. As I was going back to the house I was alarmed. I saw a thief jumping over the wall from our compound to the other side. I think it's because he saw me. They may have been two but I remember this one.
I was getting into the house so slowly. My conscious mind was wondering why I was not walking quickly. But it's like I didn't have the strength. It seemed that I was also holding an umbrella, which was open. It was hindering me from getting in.
I got in, closed the door and went to ring the alarm. I pressed the switch. It started to ring, made a small sound, but it would not continue. I kept pressing, but the sound would not get louder. My parents woke up. I told my mum that the alarm was not working, and I think about the thieves as well. They did not seem concerned.
My mum switched on the alarm. It held itself down without pressing, but the sound was the same. It didn't get louder. She proceeded to the bathroom my siblings and I use. I don't know what she was going to do. No one seemed bothered about what was happening.
2nd Dream
I woke up. Then dozed off again and had a similar dream. This time I saw a man from the window of the bedroom I was in. He put his hand through the window and it seemed like he was looking for a switch to switch off the lights in the bedroom. He was wearing red on top. I was sleeping on the bed when I saw him. I leaped off the bed screaming, but I could not scream loudly. Though I tried as much as I could.
I ran out of the room to ring the alarm. But the same thing happened. It would not ring well, o rather loudly. I went to the sitting room and found my family (my parents, 3 sisters and my daughter) all prepared to go somewhere. They had dressed up and were leaving. I remember my child's hair was well made up, she was wearing long braids. (In the waking life she was not, we rarely do braids)
My parents started walking out and my daughter asked me in Swahili, "Mum, aren't you going?" But I had no idea where they were going. No one told me. If I had not woken up, I would have been left asleep.
At that time I was confused and scared; I didn't ask anything. I just hurried after my parents because I was not going to be left behind after I just saw a thief/intruder. At this time I was wearing a long black dress and sweater which I usually sleep in. All the others were dressed up. Though when I had woken up in the dream, I was wearing the clothes I dozed off in.
Our gate seemed to be lower than our house, slightly. So we were walking downwards towards the gate ( just a little lower, but noticeable).
→ When I woke up, I was so scared. Because of all the emotions from the dream and sometimes what I dream comes to pass. So I stayed up for a long time praying, just incase it was literally about thieves.
However, when I reflected on the dream, especially on everyone dressed up, leaving and I was almost left behind; I realized it was very likely symbolic.
→ In the Bible Jesus says that He is coming back as a thief. This is what I have especially thought about.
- The ten virgins that were waiting for the bridegroom all slumbered and slept. And Jesus warns us all to "Watch". (Matt 25, Mark 34)
- 1 Thessalonians 5, tells us that we are not in darkness, that the day of the Lord should overtake us as a thief.
"Behold, I am coming as a thief. Blessed is he who watches and keeps his garments, lest he walk naked and they see his shame." (Rev 16:15)
"And do this, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep; for now our salvation is nearer than when we first believed." (Romans 13:11)
Also take a look at 1 Thess 5:1-11.
Additionally, it just occurred to me that in the first dream when I saw my going to the bathroom, she may have been going to prepare herself. That's why in the second dream I found them already dressed up. We clean up then we dress up. Maybe that's why no one seemed concerned. They discerned the time, I didn't. So I can also pick up this message from the dream, cleaning up (sanctification, purification), discerning the times, as well as being sober & watchful.
1 John 3:3 says that when we see Jesus, we shall be like Him. And everyone who has this hope purifies himself just as Jesus is pure. - the cleaning up.
The Lord Jesus is so merciful that He keeps reminding and warning us about His return and to walk rightly before Him, as Scripture instructs us.
