His tender love, infinite patience and overwhelming Grace continues to get me up each morning. He never ceases to remind me how special I am to Him as well as how dependent I am on Him. Lord, when people see me, may they see you. My Spiritual and Natural Father Apostle Les D. Crause From the time I became aware of the Lord, my father started to instruct and train me to do His work. Hardly the prize student, I was rebellious, difficult and argumentative. He pressed on with me regardless though and for this I am grateful. What he taught me has remained as a solid foundation and a reminder to push through with others as much as he pushed through with me. Dad, I am about to get the glory for all of your hard work here. I hope it makes you proud. My Wonderful Husband, Craig Toach In the midst of my rebellion, it was Craig who got born again and ran full steam ahead for God – dragging me along with him at first. Had it not been for his inspiration and continued support, I would not have the strength to climb each mountain God led me to overcome. Together we continue to take the land for the Lord. Craig, I suspect the next mountain is just up ahead. Ready for another adventure? My Unwavering Team and Spiritual Children. If it was not for my team and spiritual kids, you would not be holding this book in your hands right now. Not only did they continue to nag me to put these symbols to print, but they were the first to use them, promote them and then ask for more. There is no greater honor for a leader than to have such powerful men and women by your side who are not only committed to you 100% but to the Lord Jesus 110% My heart belongs to each one of you. Nothing matters more than seeing you rise up and take your place. I challenge you to outdo me! Foreword I started the DAV Dictionary in the year 2000 and have only now brought the first printing to completion in 2011. So you can say that it has been 11 years in the living and in the making. What has been lacking with regards to Dream Interpretation up until now is a balance in the Spirit, the Word and real life. When you bring all of this together, you get the perfect interpretation. The Word is our standard, but it takes the Holy Spirit to make the Word come to life for us. When He makes that Word come to life, He will use what is familiar to us in our everyday lives. Since Adam first walked the earth, the Lord spoke in types and shadows. Jesus did not speak without parables and He has not changed. He continues to speak to us in shadows and it is for us to interpret them. Jesus told His disciples that to them was given the mystery of the Kingdom of God (Mark 4:11) but that for the others, they only see a parable. They do not understand the meaning behind it. In this book I am going to reveal those mysteries to you as I have lived and learned them. Some directly from the Lord. Some directly from the Word. Some from my spiritual father Apostle Les D. Crause. WORD OF CAUTION: One of the reasons it has taken me so long to publish this book is a concern that the symbols in this book would replace your hunger to seek the truth for yourself. This book is not the bible. It is simply an interpretation according to what God has shown me. Weigh each symbol and compare it to your own revelation of the Lord Jesus. Let my illustrations and explanations spark off ideas and further revelation in your life. Above all, may each symbol draw you closer to your loving Savior, Jesus Christ. He is speaking to you right now, can you hear His whisper in your heart? Whether in your dreams or in your visions, He is talking to you. He is drawing you closer to Him. May each page in this book be another step closer into His presence and perfect will for your life.
