Hi, it is so lovely to have you drop by today, welcome, I have a cozy place for us to sit, relax & chat with a cuppa.
Its our winter here in Australia & it’s particularly freezing at the moment.
I have prepared some gluten free mini cinnamon rolls with glacé dipping sauce for our treat & a pot of Chai tea made with almond milk & a touch of honey.
We are sitting together at my dining table overlooking Gum trees, shrubs & wild grasses we call “the bush” here.
Which at times has wildlife guests such as Koalas, Goannas, a variety of birds including our resident Kookaburras & possums.
Into the Twilight Zone
I had a really strange dream last night, when I woke this morning, I could still remember the finer details of it!
I told my husband how weird it was & then I described the overall subject, he too thought it very strange.
My dream was that I was in a holiday factory…
I dreamt I was visiting my dear friend (you met her in Heart matters) & she was trying to renovate this holiday factory by introducing joy into it.
Creating a garden where a barren land existed! I told you it was weird, a holiday factory of all things!
Dreams…
Dreams are fascinating, aren’t they?
We can dream while we sleep or we can day dream while awake.
We use the word to describe a goal for the future; as in a dream or dreams we have.
We may describe someone we find attractive as dreamy or a dreamboat.
Or the concept of day dreaming can be used as a condescending remark,
“get on with it, you’re just a dreamer!”
Medical Science & neuropsychology has many theories as to why we dream & what the purpose dreaming has in our sleep cycles.
Some people remember their dreams while others don’t, some dream in color while others in back & white.
Daydreams are mostly being totally absorbed in our thoughts & imaginings while very much awake.
The dreams we have for the future, are our hopes & aspirations we have for our lives.
My dream last night, though rather strange can be simply explained, the last time I saw my friend we met at a holiday unit where she was staying.
The last conversation we had, she told me about the joy she had had at a family gathering she attended & she always tries to bring joy into barren places.
The holiday factory in my dream was also manufacturing chocolate, my friend loves chocolate.
And my husband had been talking about making some chocolate & ginger fudge last night.
Put simply, my subconscious mind had interpreted the events, thoughts & information into pictorial form for filing = my dream.
Dreams of a different magnitude
But there are dreams that defy simple interpretation or explanation needing wisdom, discernment & prayer to understand.
We are told in the Word that dreams will play a significant part in coming events here on earth in the second coming of the Lord as they did in the first coming of Jesus.
“…And it will come about after this that I will pour My Spirit on all flesh;
and your sons and daughters will prophesy.
Your old men will dream dreams, your young men will see visions…”
Joel 2:28
With recent & current world events, world leaders & their seemingly reckless political posturing that have many hidden agendas.
We need to continue to be watchful & alert for the coming of the King of Kings with great discernment & expectation.
We also need to ask ourselves, are we ready & prepared for His coming?
For Jesus Himself, while here on earth, said will happen very quickly indeed.
You’re welcome to read how I began my preparation when I was on an archeological adventure in Digging for treasure…
Dreams are so interesting, don’t you think?
Thank you for joining me, dear friend, I enjoyed our time together.
Until next time,
Jennifer

Tea With Jennifer 
Dreams are interesting, God can use them. I always caution people to be careful when interpreting the them, the Holy Spirit will help you. We drink iced tea here in the south but that cinnamon bun looks good and I wouldn’t mind a cuppa.
Yes, discernment & prayer is always wise where interpretation is concerned… Your bun & tea are waiting for your next visit Rebecca!
And I’ll save you a glass of sweet iced tea and a slice of Georgia peach pie.
That sounds delightful!
Lovely summer weather in Arizona. Yesterday, after church we had breakfast at one of the lakes. No Kookaburras but an Acorn Woodpecker performing acrobatics on the hummingbird feeder entertained us.
Sounds delightful Debbie! Thank you for sharing that scene.
What an excellent post, Jennifer! Dreams really are something we often puzzle over and have difficulty understanding. My husband seems to dream always in great (nearly exhausting) details and recalls many of them well. I do not recall many of my dreams and if so, only snatch pieces.
I especially love and agree with your tie-in about dreams and the hopefully soon return of our Lord! Amen!! Amen!! May it be so!
The tea sounds amazing even though we have 94 degrees here today!
Hugs and blessings to you!
Pam
Thank you Pam, wow a heat wave to our freezing wet winter!
Your gorgeous,dream-like photograph reminds me of some of my recent dreams–adventure dreams, I call them. They are usually prompted by someone/something I’ve seen or heard on a given day. ❤ Have a lovely week, Jennifer. xo
Adventure dreams sound exciting Bette!
Blessings to you too for a great week ahead.
Jennifer, I enjoyed tea with you! It is so terribly hot here with high humidity! Dreams are sometimes very strange. I rarely remember one, but when I do it is usually a disturbing one. Thanks for sharing the Good News!
You’re welcome Pam ♡
I absolutely love chai Jennifer. And koala bears. What an interesting dream. Your posts have not been appearing in my Reader. I am glad I popped in today. 🌼
Ohhhh, I just checked & you’re still in my followers list Brigid, so not sure why you aren’t receiving them in your reader feed. I’m glad you dropped by too!
Interrupted by my grandkids arrival just then. I loved that you have koala bears. Monday I had a pedicure(the things I learn about from my grown daughter!) and had my summer toes painted a color called Koala-Beary!
I understand about our lovely grandchildren, smiling, I admire your ability to concentrate on blogging while they’re around!
What color was your nail polish? Yes, we have a good population of Koalas here in the area we live. They are beautiful creatures, we often hear the bulls calling out to the females!
Koala-berry is a deep rose red. My daughter was startled by my daring.
Sounds very daring Elizabeth, how exciting! Smiling.
We are at the start of our first heat wave, so it is fun to think of you cozying up to tea in the winter. I dream a lot. Sometimes they are God dreams, sometimes not. I do love the idea of a holiday factory.
It was in full production too Elizabeth! I find dreams fascinating!
Gorgeous photo of the sun and landscape. Lovely post.
Thank you for your kind words, glad you enjoyed your time here & that we had a lovely cuppa together!
My pleasure. – Drew
The U.S. needs to dream a new dream.
