Feeling upon waking: Questioning
I dreamed last night that I was running away from someone through the junk-filled yards of an unfamiliar neighborhood. It was daytime yet darkish and kind of Alice in Wonderlandy feeling. As I ran through one very junky area I saw an unexpected white opening to my left. It was a very narrow, very white, bright stairwell with a ceiling half my height.
I turned into it and started running up the stairs and away from those who were chasing me. Almost immediately I came to a little door and quickly opened it, ran through, closed and locked it. On the other side there was a small door to the left going into some other hallway. I ran up the stairs and opened many other doors with the same profile. As I locked them, I smiled and knew that it was getting harder for those pursuing me to catch me. With more doors came choices to lock or leave them unlocked after passing through. I chose not to lock every door because I was in such a hurry to put distance between me and those pursuing me. I knew their weapons could not get through all the doors, locked and unlocked. I never chose to pursue a side door, only to keep going up what seemed like a turret-shaped stairwell. Then I moved to another dream.

I found this on John Paul Jackson's blog at http://blog.streamsministries.com/ and it seems to fit with my little doors in the dream - "Four is the number of God’s creative works and is the Hebraic number for the fourth letter in the Hebrew alphabet – Dalet. Dalet literally means the low door through which one must bow down to enter. It is indicative of humility." Haha - I hope I can continue to be humble and get low as the stairwell seems to indicate.

I feel the door locks were gold because they had to do with the presence of God in my life providing security. The stairs were white and well-lit because God was allowing me to be in a pure place. Also, though it felt I was going nowhere; I was ascending the whole time.
