Dreams

I had a dream last night. I had prepared for a Sunday morning service in advance because I knew I would be there at the last minute. We had just gotten a new assistant pastor. I walked in late, and the song service had begun. I was perplexed as to who had taken my place.

I walked in, and all the normal stage equipment was gone. There were about fifteen microphones with fifteen people singing. An older woman, the new pastor's wife, was playing the drums and singing. None of the congregation was singing. I wandered around the room saying," This is not how I want this". No one seemed to notice me or care that I was there. I found Kim and told here I was leaving. I woke up feeling fired and replaced.

I still have not decided what this means. Maybe nothing. Maybe an over- inflated view of my importance. Maybe they are going to fire me. Does any one else have dreams like this?
