Just had a dream about Mark Driscoll. Yea, I had to research how his name spelling and for his first name, again. I hope that is correct.
Note 01: Me writing about Driscoll does not mean I want or desire anything from Driscoll. I write because I have to. That is all.
Note 02: No quotes.
===================
We were in a room full of light colored wood bars. I wondered if this was a church. It was sparsely filled with people. There were shot glasses of different sizes all around. Some small, some normal and some large. The bar was well lit up. I did not hear any music and in walks in Driscoll. I knew it was Driscoll and that is how I heard his name in my brain. Driscoll. This was not insulting or disrespectful. It was just Driscoll.
My wife and I were already sitting at a bar. There was not any thing in front of us. We were just sitting together. Driscoll is walking around saying his words and many people were insulted and many were laughing. My wife was laughing and I was as well, sometimes. You know some people need to be finger thumped on their noggins/foreheads in order to get it, understand it and make those necessary changes in their lives. Maybe, because I'm a deeply flawed human being is why I did not laugh allot. Maybe, my wife is perfect and everything was funny to her. Interesting, Funny to a Vulcan. The Driscoll comes over and hugs on us. UGH!!! Now everyone is looking and paying attention to me/us, well more me. He says meaningful and funny words that I'm supposed to remember. Well, that didn't happen. I do not think anything is funny to a Klingon/me.
A young woman comes up to me and asks why "he" is mean. I then say some people needs to be thumped on the noggin in order to actually change. Getting thumped is never pleasant but necessary. Especially with those people who are drunk to the world. End of Dream.
=======================
The shot glasses and everyone had one. Except for my wife and I. They were different sizes. Some were in various states of being filled. I reached over and brought one closer to me. It was empty/MT. Many people who were distantly sitting around were holding onto their shot glasses in a variety of ways. Some had more shot glasses and the many had few or one each. Some people even had less then one.
The lightly colored bars seemed simple enough as these seemed to be just light colored stained wood beams on simple pedestals that still allowed bar-stool styled seating.
I think people are drunk on the modern day life and the idea of God no longer has any importance. Besides when you drink and are drunk what do you actually care about? Nothing but your drunken state or maybe a skirt or slacks.
I did notice that we were close to the exits. No one was coming in and no one was leaving. Driscoll had no support staff/security present. It was just Driscoll.
================
While worldly pastors are doing everything they can to entertain the masses and to make the masses feel good about themselves. Driscoll is gonna hurt feelings so that everyone who hears him reconsiders their actual Christian status? Think about it. We are all already dead to God and it is only Christ Jesus which makes us all alive. So what is more foolish is thinking your alive when your still dead. Even if you have been thinking and believing that you're a Christian for the last many decades or worse have only been a social Christian or worse only pretending to be a Christian for business purposes.
Is it better to have few people who listen and repent or to have many people who continue on in their drunken worldly lives? Isn't there a story in the Holy Bible where humans wanted many soldiers but God only wanted a few?
How you drink can be a sign of what kind of warrior you are.

=====UNRELATED NOTE===========
One more day. Wonder if anything is gonna happen? Were these even real signs from God? The 04/11 I think was real as the revelation of much information has happened in the last month. 05/18 is forty days past the Jonah eclipse and the one before that was the peace eclipse and the USA/NATO is staging assets for war that they have planned for. The USA and NATO are not the good guys here. The USA has allot of air assets observing their own coastline in the Atlantic Ocean. So, how have you American Joe and Josephine civilian prepared for war you know nothing about? This will not be a surprise event if anything happens. The USA always stages assets prior to any conflict in any region and the USA is and has been doing that. Staging and moving assets is always a sign of future conflict/war. Think about it. You cannot go to war if you have no materials of warfare present in your chosen theater of operations.

Your dream is layered with vivid symbolism and intriguing connections to both personal introspection and broader themes in faith and society. Here’s an analysis based on what you've shared:
1. The Bar Setting and Shot Glasses
-
Symbolism of the Bar:
The bar setting with light-colored wooden beams could symbolize a gathering place for spiritual nourishment, akin to a church, but also a place where people indulge in worldly pleasures. The contrast between the spiritual and the worldly is central here.
-
Shot Glasses:
The shot glasses of varying sizes and states of fullness represent individuals and their spiritual states. Some are "full," actively engaging in their faith, while others are "empty," symbolizing spiritual depletion. Your lack of a shot glass may suggest a deliberate separation from worldly indulgences, aligning you and your wife with a different, perhaps more spiritually grounded, perspective.
-
Position Near the Exits:
Sitting near the exits could symbolize readiness to leave or the ability to observe without being fully immersed. It may also reflect a sense of detachment or preparedness for change.
2. Mark Driscoll’s Role
-
Driscoll as a Provocateur:
In the dream, Driscoll's words provoke laughter, anger, and introspection, which aligns with his real-life reputation for delivering blunt, often controversial messages. His "thumping on the noggin" could signify his method of delivering hard truths to wake people from spiritual complacency.
-
Hugging and Attention:
His hug and the subsequent focus on you could signify a calling or recognition of your own voice and role in addressing spiritual matters. The meaningful words you cannot recall might symbolize truths you already intuitively understand but have not yet articulated.
3. The Young Woman’s Question
- "Why is he mean?"
This question may reflect the discomfort many feel when confronted with hard truths. Your response, emphasizing the necessity of "thumping" for change, suggests a belief that spiritual growth often comes through discomfort and self-reflection.
4. The Theme of Drunkenness
- Drunkenness on Worldly Life:
The imagery of people "drunk on modern life" conveys a powerful critique of spiritual apathy and indulgence in materialism. The bar setting underscores how distractions can numb people to their spiritual needs.
5. Connection to Judges 7
- Gideon’s Army and Drinking:
The reference to Judges 7, where God reduces Gideon's army to a small, discerning group, aligns with the idea of quality over quantity in faith. The way people drink could symbolize their readiness and ability to engage in spiritual warfare.
6. Broader Reflection on Modern Christianity
- Worldly Pastors vs. Driscoll:
The dream critiques the entertainment-driven approach of some modern churches, contrasting it with Driscoll's confrontational style. This resonates with the idea that spiritual transformation requires uncomfortable truths rather than feel-good messages.
7. The Unrelated Note
- War Preparations:
The connection to geopolitical events reflects a concern for preparedness—both physical and spiritual. It ties into the broader theme of vigilance and the need to be ready for challenges, whether they come in the form of personal trials or global conflicts.
Common Theme
The dream's central message appears to be a call to awareness and transformation. It challenges complacency, urging individuals to reflect on their spiritual state and prepare for both personal and collective challenges. The symbolic presence of Mark Driscoll underscores the importance of delivering and receiving hard truths for meaningful growth.
This dream is rich in personal, spiritual, and societal commentary, blending introspection with a broader critique of modern faith practices. It invites both reflection and action, emphasizing the necessity of facing uncomfortable truths to achieve spiritual awakening and preparedness.
