Be careful what you're feeding on

10th February dream: I was in a restaurant with lots of people all around. They happened to be Asian, I don't know why. Everyone was enjoying and having a good time. There were fish ponds with strange black fish and other fish, which were eating each other, and it was these fish that people were consuming in the restaurant. For whatever reason, I felt revulsion and rejected the menu. I was then in a different restaurant, which was no longer filled with only Asians, looking at a different menu, and I don't remember what was on it, but again, I rejected the menu. Again it was bustling, busy with lots of people enjoying themselves. In both these dreams, these houses of food consumption were exaggeratedly full, like everyone was shoulder to shoulder and you could hardly move.

Bible reading: After the first two dreams, I still hadn't thought that they were from God or that they had any meaning. Then, my Bible reading happened to be from Isaiah 66 and v 17 jumped at me - "those who sanctify and purify themselves to go into the gardens, following one in the midst, eating pig's flesh and the abomination and mice, shall come to an end together, declares the Lord".

I then prayed and asked God if he was giving me these dreams. I then had another dream:

11th February dream: it was like I was in an animated movie. There were people and talking animals, a leopard I specifically remember, and it was fun fun fun at something like a waterpark, but weird fun because it was like a 3D animation. Someone came up to me and offered me food. The plate was flat and square with a decorative little animated statue attached to it. I reached for the food, but as my hand went to the plate, I felt a spiritual presence and pulled my hand back. I said, 'no, I can't eat that.' The person asked why and I answered, 'because it's demonic'.

11th February dream 2: My dad asked me to look after his fish while he was away (my dad used to keep fish, but he hasn't had fish tanks for more than 10 years). I was admiring the pretty fish and showing them to people who came to visit. I noticed that every time I came past the tank, they would swarm against the glass towards me, and I wondered why they were doing that. I then remembered with shock that I had not been feeding them. I realised the water in the tank was half and not full. My dad had left these big bottles of distilled water to top up the tank. I quickly filled it and threw food in, and the fish came to it, very hungry for it.

Scriptures that came immediately to mind: Deuteronomy 32 The Song of Moses v 2 - 'may my speech distill as the dew...v33 - their grapes are grapes of poison, their clusters are bitter, their wine is the poison of serpents and the cruel venom of asps.'

Jeremiah 15v19 - If you utter what is precious and not what is worthless, you shall be as my mouth, and they shall turn to you, but you shall not turn to them.

and Jeremiah 16v16: behold, I am sending for many fishers, declares the Lord, and they shall catch them.

A verse I read a few days later was Isaiah 28v8: "For all tables are full of filthy vomit, with no space left." It is interesting to read this whole chapter with that verse in context.

Food is an important sustenance. Lots of people were consuming this food in the dreams, literally getting their life and enjoyment from it - yet I felt that I would not under any circumstances partake of it. What they were 'gobbling up', I was disgusted by it, repelled from it and recognized it as demonic. I'm not sure what the food symbolised, but I think it is words - because of the scripture verses God provided with those dreams which are to do with words. I also found it interesting that in the dreams, I was not offering them any alternative food, but I fed only the fish, ie feeding the master's household? I think fish symbolised believers. I am a bit confused by this as we are supposed to give the gospel to everyone - but there is that verse that says, "do not give to dogs what is holy". Of course the other thing these dreams bring to mind are "in the world, but not of the world" and "if anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him." I also think this dream was literal too - we should be careful of what they try to literally feed us.
