helping others and
choices people make.

This is another strange dream I had that may or may not have any meaning for others.

There were maybe four or five of us working/living in a rather unique Church. It would normally seem strange for so few people to be the only ones taking care of/responsible for/living in such a large building, but in the dream it seemed normal. The church was a large intricately designed building, however in the dream it seemed to have a lot more space on the inside than space it appeared to take up from the outside. It had a large meeting area, large kitchen and dining areas, and many guest rooms. All of those areas in addition to what one would normally expect to find in a church.

The church was located in the in the middle of a street with buildings of various types stretching down the road in both directions. This overlooked a small very steep cliff dropping down to a beach. The drop off was about 30 meters (a little under 100 feet) with a narrow path leading down to the beach from a picnic / overlook area located near the top of the cliff.

Someone came running into the church. Screaming that there were people washing up on the beach. While the first person was trying to explain, another person came in saying there were hundreds of people washing up on the beach. No one knew what had happened just that there were lots of people staggering and crawling out of the water.

We told the others to start cooking something warm for the people to eat and drink as well as find as many towels and dry cloths, robes whatever we had for the people to change into. Then one of the people and myself went outside to see what we could do to help the people on the beach.

By the time we got to the over look there were already a lot of people walking up the path making it impossible for us to get down to the beach.

The other person started yelling 'THIS WAY! COME UP HERE! THIS WAY! COME UP HERE!'

About this time someone behind us started yelling the same thing, 'This Way! Come Up Here!' over and over.

The other person and I went to the over look and started directing the people to the church. (Until we could get the stairs/pathway cleared we could not get to the beach to help the people that were simply laying there.)

I do not know what had happened to the people but they were all very cold, wet, and most had had their cloths torn from them either by the accident that put them in the water or by the violent action of waves as they struggled to shore. We started telling the people as they came up to go across the street and go into the church there would be towels to dry off, something warm to eat and something dry to put on.

Some people gave us hugs saying thank you, while some were so exhausted they simply looked at us and walked on towards the church.

But what surprised me was how many looked at us, looked at the church, and even though they were wet cold naked obviously in bad shape would refuse to enter the building and walk down the street instead. On the street in either direction everything was closed and no one around to help them. Unfortunately there were just to many people coming up the path and no help from anywhere else for us to try to stop the people that made the choice to walk away.

This was also happening on the beach. People would hear us calling 'This Way! Come Up Here!' They would then look up at the cliff and then start walking up or down the beach. Some seemed to be trying to find another way up not realizing that they were looking at the only path that would come to our location. Others seemed content where they were. Making their 'camp' on beach, not interested in anything else.

As more people washed onto the beach they were faced with several choices of which direction to choose to go. They could hear us calling, 'This way! Come Up Here!'

But there were so many others on the beach that were telling them we had nothing to offer them, that they would be wasting their time climbing up the path. Many followed the advice without question, others choose to try the path, while others asked the people telling them to stay on the beach if they had seen what was at the top of the path.

Some of the people on the beach told the truth saying they had never been off the beach. While others lied saying that they knew exactly what was at the top of the path and that everyone was better off not wasting their time climbing the path.

The ones that started to climb the path, were suddenly faced with people that had stopped climbing the path trying to get the people climbing the path to stop their assent telling the people different half-truths and lies to get them to stop their climb. Some people stopped at different levels, others paused for a while then continued on when they were ready, and others simply kept climbing until they reached the top.

By this time there were several people gathered between us and the church trying to get people we had directed to the church to go anywhere else but through the doors of the church.

While there were a few that tried to use actual physical force or the threat of physical force to stop people from continuing to the church, the vast majority of tried to get the people to stop by telling them half-truths and lies. Trying to get the people to stop or turn away by their own free will choices.

There was a lot more detail to the dream than I have written here. However I have tried to write the important parts or at least most of the parts that seemed to stand out. There seems to be a lot of symbolism and warnings, which I will let each person take as they wish.

There a couple of other overall warnings, but the segments of the dream were a bit to chaotic to clearly describe, about never being over confident that what one is doing is correct, or letting worldly desires influence what we are doing, for one can very easily be doing seemingly correct things but for the wrong reasons.

Like I said just another strange dream that may or may not have some meaning for anyone else.
