THE BREAK INS 5-2013
This dream took place late one night with Kelly and me in our home. Someone knocked on the door, and although we never open the door unless we know who it is, Kelly answered it. As soon as he did, several men pushed their way inside. I felt immediate fear. We managed to convince them that we were not the people they were looking for, and eventually they left. Still, we knew they were dangerous and capable of harming us.
After they were gone, we talked about the importance of keeping our doors locked and never letting strangers in. But as soon as we turned to check, we saw the back door standing wide open. Two more men were already coming in. Kelly recognized them as people he had associated with before. In the dream, they came to him when they needed their “drug fix.” The drug appeared as hot chocolate powder, but I knew it symbolized something far more harmful. Kelly reassured me that we would be safe as long as we let them get what they came for.
Immediately after they left, a large group of young kids poured into our home. They were searching for gold and silver. We didn’t have anything of value except our wedding rings, but they tore through the house anyway, destroying everything in their search for treasure. They eventually left, leaving behind a physical and emotional mess. But soon some of them returned, insisting they hadn’t gotten everything, and they began ransacking the house all over again.
Throughout the dream, I worried they would take our wedding rings. They even looked directly at them, yet they never touched them. Our rings were worth more than anything else in the house, but they remained safely on our fingers.
Some harmful influences did enter our home in real life, forces that tore at the peace and stability we had built. We eventually lost our home, and the damage left its mark. But in the dream, the one thing that remained untouched was our marriage covenant. The rings stayed with us, protected, unclaimed by any intruder.
Conclusion
Looking back, I believe the dream was showing me that while earthly things can be broken, stolen, or destroyed, the eternal parts of our lives cannot be taken. Our home may have fallen, and outside influences may have caused pain, but the bond Kelly and I shared, the love, the promises, and the eternal nature of our marriage remained untouched. The rings staying on our fingers was heaven’s quiet reminder that what God seals cannot be stolen, and that even in loss, some things remain forever ours.
