Thank you Univac, you've helped a lot.

Wow, looking at my past dreams in this new way makes so much sense.

My Dream:

My family and I were at my grandpa's house in the country. My dad and his family built it when he was a teenager. I suddenly heard screaming from the front yard and ran out to see what was happening. My oldest sister was being attacked by a bear. I ran into the house and my father and I tried to find a gun and the right ammo to shoot the bear. We couldn't find any ammo - so - as unrealistic as this is - we went into a shed beside the house (Which doesn't actually exist) and my dad tried to reload a round. For some reason nothing was working none of the bullets and shells matched up. Nothing was what it was supposed to be. I got frustrated with my dad and felt he was being incredibly stupid and careless about what was going on. I though it was too late, and ran out to the front to see my sister still being attacked. Pulled by her legs. I pulled on her arms and the bear eventually let her go, but she was very mangled. There was pretty much nothing left of her form the waist down.

My Interpretation:

This dream took place at my grandpa's house to represent the place where the sin in our family was passed down from. The generational strongholds that were passed along from generation to generation. The bear represented the sin of that stronghold. In real life my sister is no doubt - struggling with the sin. Hurt by it, and continuing to live in sin and be attacked and maimed spiritually, it all rooting from the sin of my father and his father - the bear. My father and I both go to this place that isn't real to come up with answers and things that may help my sister, but our efforts are pointless trying to do it this way. I realize that my dad is being stupid and not really caring about what is happening. He's basically functioning like a robot just doing what he thinks he has to do - not moved enough by love to find the right way to help his daughter. Maybe because the same bear tormented him, he figured she'd be okay. In the dream my sister was freed from the bear, but not without being completely ruined. I don't know if she lived. What should have happened is that my dad should have stayed in the house that actually exists, and represents our home. Back with his family. (As he is living away from us now, with another woman, in that place that isn't real spiritually, and nothing he gets from there is real and can help him or his family from his sin.) In that house he would have found real things to make a round for his weapon that would have dropped that bear. Since he hasn't been working on it, I may have to intervene now and help show him how to make the round. The bullet being the word of God, the case being himself - born again, and the charge being the Holy Spirit.
