The Deception and Isolation in Jerome’s Church

- I am walking up to Jerome Slides Off, outside, on the reservation. I am going to apologize and make amends. I apologize and begin to speak about Randy lying to me about Jerome. Then I hear, ”Lying spirit. Lying spirit, Randy has a lying spirit.” Then I begin to give Jerome a hug. As I am hugging him, I notice that Jerome doesn’t quite look the same. Then I hear, “Imposter-Imposter-Imposter” - I walk into Jerome’s church but go directly to a back room, like an overflow room, and sit down next to Deb Gilbert. We are both off to the (stage)right front with a wall at our backs. We are sitting by ourselves and facing towards the opposite wall. Deb is on my right. I look over to my right, past Deb, and see several rows of chairs set close together and close to the wall on their left. They are facing the front wall that is to my left. Every chair is filled with Lakota. I hear, “They are observing from a distance.” The walls were tight with little room to walk past the rows on their right. The walls were white. - I walk into the main sanctuary of Jerome’s church. Jerome is not there. I walk down the second row and come up behind Deb Gilbert. I quickly rub her shoulders, lean over, and say hi. I sit down and look around. I observe that there are very few people present. There were two people sitting. They are surrounded by a group of empty chairs in one section. Then another group of empty chairs with three or four people sitting and standing in another section. There were maybe five people, total, sitting on the front row, including Deb Gilbert. I was unable to count exact numbers but the chairs far outnumbered the people. The walls were blue and the chairs were white.

This dream may symbolize a spiritual battle between truth and deception within the church. Jerome, who represents a spiritual leader, is initially approached with a desire to apologize and make amends, but is met with accusations of a lying spirit. This could represent a warning to be cautious of false teachings and deceptive leaders. The hug with Jerome may symbolize a desire for unity and reconciliation, but the realization that he is an imposter suggests that this unity may be false and not based on true beliefs.

The church setting may represent the body of believers, but the fact that the dreamer and Deb Gilbert are isolated in a back room suggests a feeling of being disconnected or separated from the rest of the church. The rows of chairs filled with Lakota people observing from a distance could symbolize a lack of understanding or acceptance from the church community. The white walls may represent purity and truth, while the blue walls in the main sanctuary could symbolize a sense of peace and calmness, but the emptiness of the room suggests a lack of true spiritual presence.

The small number of people present in the sanctuary could symbolize a lack of true believers or a lack of spiritual growth within the church. The empty chairs could represent those who have left the church due to deception or false teachings. The dreamer’s attempt to greet Deb Gilbert, a fellow believer, may symbolize a desire for fellowship and connection within the church, but the lack of response or interaction from others suggests a feeling of isolation and disconnection.

Overall, this dream may be a warning to be cautious of false teachings and deceptive leaders within the church, and to seek true fellowship and unity with other believers who share the same beliefs and values.
