Here in Portland, we have a new sky tram that flies overhead and takes passengers from OHSU down to the waterfront. We took the boys on a ride right before Aislynn was born. Last night, in my dream, the whole family was riding up to OHSU on the sky tram and Gavin was on Dan's shoulders. It was just like the real tram except we were flying over a big body of water and the sky tram had open windows at the top. We went over the big tower and when the tram started swinging on the rope, Gavin flew off Dan's shoulders and out the window, falling into the body of water. I screamed (one of those dream screams where you are trying to scream loudly, but you can't actually here anything). Then I started to climb up to the window so I could jump out and try to save Gavin. This is where it gets even weirder...a man jumps in front of me and says that I need to stop and think before jumping. "God has Gavin already," he says, "You need to stay here...your family can't lose Gavin and you."
What in the world?????? My heart keeps skipping beats today. I'm a person who struggles with extreme unrealistic fear anyway...to have a dream like this just sets my mind spinning in a thousand different what if scenarios. What exactly in my subconscious led me to have this dream? Does anyone have any explanations? Would you analyze my dream for me??

Well, I'm not Joseph or anything, but maybe, just maybe, God is reminding you that He has Gavin, dead or alive, and maybe you had this dream because Gavin is stressing you out the most lately (I don't know at all, I'm just guessing). I have dreams like this about whichever child I'm having to "parent the hardest". Maybe we need to release part of that parenting job to God when it gets really intense because otherwise everyone else misses out on us. Those are my guesses :)
I wish I could interpret. I don't have much skill there, but it seems that God had Gavin taken care of in your dreams and in real life. Maybe the dream is just reminding you to trust in that...
