I entered a competition to see who could be the first one to drink 3 gallons of orange juice. It was expected to take people several hours if not a couple of days, and I finished it in no time like it was no big deal at all. Champion, right here.
Later, I was exploring a giant house. It had a really cool layout, and tons of bedrooms.
Then, I was in Target and I was working out by jogging around the shoe section. Another girl was there with me-- her identity kept morphing -- and she was running slower than I wanted to, but kept getting mad at me if I sped up. I was getting so mad that she was getting mad...
At some point we realized it was raining really hard outside and it was starting to flood-- like, tidal waves coming through the doors. It became pure chaos in the store as people were running for their lives- yet everyone knew it was inevitable bc we were all going to be trapped inside left to drown. This dream just kind of ended. Drama!

Jesus, rain boots, Afros, and reunions
Last night I had a ton of dreams. I can't remember all of them, but here's what I got:
I was in the house I grew up in and there was a "bad news bears" football team playing a giant football team in the foyer. They were getting murdered. The coach told them they weren't playing aggressively enough and they needed to start tackling hard to stand up for themselves, so they did and they started doing so much better! One of the players looked just like Kooab Kosuke from Project Runway, and one time after an intense tackle he came up and someone had pulled out his Afro.
I also dreamed I was in a hotel room with my siblings and we were laying on the beds watching tv... There was a news story on about how we should be concerned with this generation because of how all they want to do it wear rain boots all the time. Everywhere you look you see teenagers and college students wearing rain boots! They even have come out with slippers that LOOK like rain boots to put over regular shoes so you look like you're wearing rain boots. And, as if this wasn't bad enough... They refused to take them off for themselves! That's right! They won't take them off of their own feet, they require that someone else takes then off for them. What is this world coming to?
A third thing I remember from my slumber... I was at a high school reunion... But I really could not remember the names of the people there, or some of their faces.
My favorite thing from my dreams last night was I was sitting and reading a book. It was a Christian Life/spiritual growth book... And I was reading closely and making notes. The section I was reading was explaining the importance of a daily quiet time (a subject I really should be reading about!). It compared it to the concept of raising a child. It emphasized the difference between parenthood, and parenting. It defined parenting as the intentional act of teaching and training your child the specific how's and why's of the way we live. Parenthood is the life of a parent interacting with and loving their child as they go about normal life. This dream book suggests that our times studying the word and in prayer are the times we allow ourselves to participate in God's parenting. Then, we go about our lives under the protection of God's parenthood. That's some good stuff.. Thank you, Lord for teaching me in my sleep!
