I woke up at about 15 minutes to 6am this morning after a very vivid dream. Please bear with me if I ramble as I want to post as much detail as possible for interpertation. For reference purposes I live near Charleston, SC and have never been to New Orleans.
My wife, My child, a family friend who is a loan officer, and I were walking on the interstate. There were many others walking also. No cars. We had walked a while, and had a while to go. I don't know exactly why we were walking or where we were going, but everyone seemed to be there for the same reason, walking away from and/or too something. There was a small walkway on the side of the interstate that had an alluminum frame, with plywood for the walking area. It was about 1 person wide, almost like something you would see a construction area put up when they had ripped up a sidewalk and were not done yet, and wouldn't be for a while. Most were walking on the road, but I forced my daughter to walk beside me on the make-shift walkway. It was night, and we were wearing summer clothes.
The walkway abruptly turned into a set of stairs that led downward. I led my daughter and wife down the stairs (others followed) and saw a sign half way down that was much like you would see for an exit sign in the interstate, except it was black with white or silver letters. The sign read "NEW ORLEANS". My wife said (in disbelief) "you mean New Orleans, New Orleans???". I said yes. At the bottom of the stairs it was daylight again. There was an Ominus law enforcement fellow with his arms crossed dressed all in black. For a minute I thought he was not going to let me pass through the glass door in front of me, but he said nothing, just staring.
After we passed through the door, directly ahead was the superdome. Now in my dream, something had previously happened to the SuperDome and it was totally gutted. I don't know if it was planned or accidental. All that was there now were steel gurters (sp) and framing. There were thousands of construction workers, all dressed in coveralls. They either wore kaki or blue. All had a yellow hard hat. Suddenly a piece of the frame gave way and came crashing down. This caused more to start to pull away. I screamed "Oh no, Jesus no. Stop it Jesus! Stop it!" But it kept on. The strange part is that the workers were like drones and kept on working, even as the entire structure was failing. Near the end of my dream, on worker did something strange to save himself. He grabeb a small section (4 foot) of steel and jumped from 3 stories up. I thought, well that's dumb. He landed with the steel, unharmed, dusted off and walked away. Most others were getting crushed by the collapsing structure. On small band of kaki construction workers did show up and try to prop up the structure, but in vain. And again, the blue construction workers just sat there eating lunch like nothing was going on even though we all were screaming "get out! its collapsing!" I woke up with my heart pounding.
My mind has been going in 100 diferent directions on the meaning of this one. Could this be about an impending attack (I heard them mention the subs off the coast of SC in the post by louis2000 earlier about "subs spotted" and a 2nd impending holocost) Is this about the economy? Is it about things just going down hill in general? Is it to do with New Orleans, or do they symbolize something?
Thank you brothers and sisters in christ for your prayerful consideration of this most intense dream.
