Dreams – it’s a matter of interpretation
You know the stereotype. People talk about weird dreams and you always hear about the dream where someone’s standing in front of their classroom with no clothes on. Yeah, yeah. We get it.
I’ve had my share of crazy dreams…
- When I was in 4th or 5th grade, I dreamed I was in a Transformers episode. I’m running away from the Decepticons when Laserbeak shoots me in the back. The next day, my back hurt like it hadn’t hurt before.
- I used to dream that my alarm clock went off. At 3 in the morning, I’d get up, turn off my alarm, and go take a shower. It was always dark when I got up for school, so the lack of sunlight wouldn’t faze me. Sometimes, I’d even go downstairs and pour myself a bowl of cereal. Mom would come down and tell me to look at the clock.
- Apparently, I had some pretty vivid dreams in college, too. One time, I sat up in the middle of the night and said to my roommate, “Matt, where’s the Blackberry Road?” I stared at him for a minute and then put my head back on my pillow and went to sleep.
- When Christy was pregnant, I always had dreams that she was falling. I’d reach out to grab her and save her. I didn’t do this just in my dreams, though. I would actually grab her and hold on for dear life. There were several times that she’d wake me up screaming because I had scared the living daylights out of her.
Yeah, I’ve had some pretty vivid dreams. Last night, I had a modification of the old stereotype, though. In my dream, Christy and I were standing at a busy intersection across the street from our house. We were in a hurry to get into our house while remaining as invisible as possible. That’s a pretty difficult thing to do when you’re standing on the corner naked as jaybirds.
What’s up with that?

Howdy. I'm Matt. My wife, Christy, and I have four kids and two dogs, I'm passionate about orphan care. I'm a die-hard fan of the Evansville Aces, the Indiana Hoosiers, and Star Wars. I'm trying to live life by the Todd family motto: "It behooves us to live!"

Your dream means that you have a subconscious desire to become a stripper. Or possibly it means that you have a lot of people watching you and feel somewhat vulnerable and exposed.
I dreamed that I was at a meeting of roman Catholic clergy all in black robes and it was crashed by some evil Greek bishops in red robes. I and some others got kind of “beamed” up to heaven for a meeting with God, who turned out to be a woman with short dark hair wearing a long red velvet ballgown. What do you make of that?
Your God encounter could be a flashback to some repressed memory of an alien abduction. Aliens who like to watch Dancing with the Stars.
You probably had the dream about the evil Greek bishops during those oh-so-fun years studying Greek. I think God’s trying to tell you that He hates Greek as much as I do.
Or maybe the Illuminati has been transmitting signals into your dreams at night. Apparently, they can do that kind of stuff. After all, Katrina was their fault (read this for other ways I’ve uncovered the dastardly deeds of the dreaded Illuminati).
And **of course** it means I want to become a stripper! Does that mean I think Christy should be one, too?
Is the pastor feeling a little exposed? I mean, it is a LOT to be living across from the church that you lead.. A lot more people are looking at your these days, and there isn’t much room for invisibility.
Your blog made me laugh today.
But it’s nothing new. Remember? We lived in a parsonage in Kentucky. The parking lot was our driveway. Yes, there are a lot of eyes on me, but that’s happened before. I don’t think that’s it.
Maybe Joanie’s right. Maybe I just want to be a stripper. 🙂
i like it! i am reading a book by Mark Buchanan caleld Your God is too safe’. i am hoping it will encourage me to stop playing it safe stop allowing my fears to continually stop me. To see My God as He truely is, not too small too safe!
