Traffic: "Hole in My Shoe"

What a great little tune this is. The song is packed with psychedelic imagery. I also love the little boy's voice on the bridge of the song.

Enjoy this song from 1967 by clicking here:

The dreams we have are manifestations of our subconscious. For example, dreaming of being nude in public is a sign of our insecurity. Dreams about travel or moving to a new place indicate we're bored with our routines. Other dreams are caused by similar causes or traumas we've suffered.

But God rarely uses dreams to inform people of the future and his will. We read one of these exceptions in Genesis 37:5-7 (Bible in Basic English). "Now Joseph had a dream, and he gave his brothers an account of it, which made their hate greater than ever. And he said to them, 'Let me give you the story of my dream. We were in the field, getting the grain stems together, and my grain kept upright, and yours came round and went down on the earth before mine.'" But as we read later in Genesis, Joseph's brothers did eventually bow down to him.

God allowed Daniel to describe Nebuchadnezzar's dream without being told what he dreamt. Daniel 2:31-35 (BBE) reads, "You, O King, were looking, and a great image was there. This image, which was very great, and whose glory was very bright, was placed before you: its form sent fear into the heart. As for this image, its head was made of the best gold, its breast and its arms were of silver, its middle and its sides were of brass, Its legs of iron, its feet were in part of iron and in part of potter's earth. While you were looking at it, a stone was cut out, but not by hands, and it gave the image a blow on its feet, which were of iron and earth, and they were broken in bits. Then the iron and the earth, the brass and the silver and the gold, were smashed together, and became like the dust on the floors where grain is crushed in summer; and the wind took them away so that no sign of them was to be seen: and the stone which gave the image a blow became a great mountain, covering all the earth."

Most of that dream has come to pass. We await that stone, not cut by hands, to crush the world system and fill the world.

If this hasn't happened by Saturday, I hope to post about the folly of gambling.
