Finding Identity in Rest

imagesI believe this dream could apply in some ways to many people so I would like to share it:
Dream 3-24-17

I am over in Europe but can’t tour around because I can’t find my wallet which holds my ID, credit cards and was heavy with change. I was discouraged about losing it as recently I had had trouble with companies trying to take advantage of me and stack up fraudulent charges on my credit card. I felt I might as well give up on having any credit. Next I went into a hotel room where Henri Nouwen had been residing. He left the room as I entered. There was meat and fruit and lots of food in his room. He had been reclining in a bed raised 3/4 of the way like convalescing or writing. I found my wallet with my ID there under his bed. I was so glad to find it and could go explore Europe now.

Interpretation:
Henri Nouwen wrote the passage in the blog below about retrieving your true self. It spoke of rejoining a part of you which was shut down or abandoned in your youth to feel safe and whole with yourself again, regaining the joy of who you were made to be.

I am over in Europe but can’t tour around because I can’t find my wallet which holds my ID, credit cards and was heavy with change.

Unable to tour Europe-could not go any further without my ID and credit cards in tact
ID-lost or stolen, identity theft -lost for awhile but being restored
give up on getting any credit for this journey- taken advantage of, misunderstood, fraudulent charges to my account, opposition to my cause
Hold on your reward is with Me and recompense is coming! (Is. 50:7-8)
my wallet heavy with change- transformation coming

There was meat and fruit and lots of food in Henri’s room. He had been reclining in a bed raised 3/4 of the way like convalescing or writing

There will be meat and fruit from your work and food to give out to others.
Rest and journaling will bring results

I found my wallet with my ID there under his bed. I was so glad to find it and could go explore Europe now

recovered my wallet under Henri Nouwen’s bed-found in a place of rest, cease striving, trust God to regain your sense of being and identity in Him
ID, true self again-Henri was a broken, wounded man made whole again to help others and give out what he learned

could now explore Europe-widen your horizons, gain new territory
Trust God. He has much food and fruit to give out through you from a place of resting in Him. Your reward is with Him, recompense is coming!
