A Dream...


I dreamed last night that I was being shot at with arrows from a good friend. I don't recall how it all began--just that I was being relentlessly assaulted by these arrows that were being shot one right after another. I was struck by some but most missed as I would dodge forward or back to avoid being hit. Though painful, the arrows that hit me would bounce off without any significant injury. At one point, a very large arrow was fired at me. it missed and I was able to pick it up. I quickly found myself in a struggle with my friend as we both took hold of the arrow and tried to wrestle it from each other. I even tried to break the arrow but I could not. As we wrestled I got a real good look at the arrow. It had a large silver head about three inches long and about 1/4 of an inch thick. The unique thing about this arrow is that it did not have a traditional point--it was flat. It was more like a block "A" might be. Though the arrow would hurt if it hit me, it could do no real harm. It had no point! At some point in the dream, I picked up a phone and dialed 911 in order to get my friend to quit shooting at me. I was asked by the operator to spell his name which is most likely the only reason that I can remember it. I'll not tell you the name except to let you know that it had seven letters. Following the call to 911, I was able to walk away from my friend's house without further incident.

I'll post my interpretation later on today...

BTW, I am interviewing today for an affiliate professor position at Colorado Christian University. They have an adult education program at their Loveland campus and I'm hoping to get to teach a theology class each semester.

I have heard very good things about that institution. I hope that your interview goes well. The Academy certainly needs more people who have practical expertise teaching theology. CCU would be fortunate to get someone with your level of experience.

If you need an anonymous reference, I'd be glad to provide one ;)

Thanks for the offer, Taran. You can't have too many anonymous endorsements....
