Morning,
I had a dream last night and in it I heard “there is no wisdom in foolishness”. What followed were scenes of “hidden things”. The dream was pretty detailed but in sum, if you hide something it leads to another hidden thing which leads to another hidden thing and before you know it, you are not yourself anymore; the person God made you. It snowballs, just like telling a lie. And if you don’t come clean, so to speak, you will become very foolish and start doing and saying things you never thought you would. And, you don’t just hide the one thing, it leads to another and another.
In my dream, I started out with a group of people who hid something. I agreed to keep secret the thing with them. Later in the dream, I was alone, and I did the very same thing we had done as a group, but this time, I did it. I then kept that thing hidden, and it was so hard. I didn’t tell my husband, my friends, anyone, and the more I kept it hidden, the more tormented I was. I had to start pretending from that point on. Which led me basically to the point of insanity in one form or another, some people can hide very well and it will become the lifestyle. My life was never happy but consumed with “working things out, and thought and fear”.
I had not thought of “hiding things” as foolishness really, because you have a tendency to think of foolishness as silliness or joking around, which too much of that is not good either, but it was clear that if you try to hide, and do not repent, you will not remain the sane person God made you.
