Hello, brothers and sisters in the Lord. After a long time, I had a dream, just before waking up in the morning on March 11, 2018. And I got an interpretation too. I wish to share this dream with you all.
In the dream, I was attending a church service, and I was impeccably dressed. Sometime during the service, the priest who was standing as an assistant to the main priest who was conducting the service turned; he looked directly at me and spoke into the microphone. [I don’t remember his exact words, but they were along the following lines.]
Mr. Sujit Thomas, this kind of behavior is not acceptable within the church. What you are doing is not right.
I wasn’t aware of what I was doing wrong until I looked at my shoes and saw drops of urine dripping down my left shoe. [Either the drops were making a noise that was disturbing the service or they had formed a puddle around my feet, which was probably noticed by someone who alerted the priest. I don’t know how the priest knew, and I don’t think it is important.] Only then did I realize that I’d wet my pants, but it was puzzling to me as to how this could have happened because I didn’t have the urge to go to the restroom nor did I know that I was actually wetting my pants until the priest spoke.
I should have been embarrassed and should have sought to leave the scene quickly and quietly. Instead, I stepped forward to the priest and spoke to him.
“And perhaps you should also announce to the congregation that if they feel compelled to leave in the middle of a service due to an emergency like this, they should do so without feeling guilty or condemned for it.”
The priest did not say anything in return, and I then woke up.
Personal thoughts: I got the interpretation for this dream as I began recording it. And I was praying in the Spirit as I recorded it. The interpretation came—more in bits and pieces than altogether. I asked the Lord if the dream and the interpretation were from him. I believe he said yes, so the interpretation follows. Please pray over what I share.
Interpretation
The church service I was attending represented the modern traditional religious system. And the priests conducting the service represented its ministers. I represented the members of the system.
I was impeccably dressed. In spiritual terms, I believe this means that I had a form of godliness. The fact that I wet my pants in the dream without knowledge of it points to the fact that I was suffering from urinary incontinence and was unaware of it. Basically, my body was internally damaged, and I had no knowledge of it. I believe, in spiritual terms, this means that though I had a form of godliness, it was not true godliness because my spiritual man or inner man was damaged.
Why was I unaware of the problem?
I believe the church I was attending in the dream prohibited or frowned upon leaving a service in the middle of it even if my body were screaming “Emergency!” And because I’d become so accustomed to disregarding the voice of my body and listening instead to the prohibitions of the man-made religious system, I’d effectively dulled my senses and had become incapable of discerning when my body was in trouble.
Spiritually, I believe, this means that if I attend a man-made traditional religious system contrary to the voice of the Holy Spirit and allow the traditions and rules of that system to drown out any warnings from the Holy Spirit, I will end up damaging my inner man, so much so that all my spiritual senses will be dulled, and therefore, I will be rendered incapable of recognizing any spiritual danger.
Apparently after the symptoms of my urinary incontinence manifested, I’d become aware that I was in trouble and perhaps also of the reason why I hadn’t acted to correct the problem earlier: that I’d allowed the voices of the man-made religious system to drown out the voice of my body (i.e., in spiritual terms, the Holy Spirit). My speech to the priest effectively meant that the religious leaders of this day should tell the congregation to listen to the voice of the Holy Spirit when he tells them to leave and that they should allow people to leave the institutionalized religious system without burdening them with guilt and condemnation for doing so.
Spiritually, it also seems that in the dream neither the religious system nor its leaders nor the members within realized that my urinary incontinence was because my following the system had damaged my body. They couldn’t discern that my urinary incontinence was a sign of internal damage and judged it only as “bad behavior.” So I was rebuked for “bad behavior” by the priest.
But the truth according to Scripture is that if we are clean on the inside, we will be clean on the outside also (Matt. 23:26). If we are damaged and dirty on the inside, then we may look good on the outside, but our hypocrisy will be evident to those who are spiritually awake (Matt. 23:27–28). And many people may not realize how damaged they are within unless that damage manifests on the outside.
Scriptural Parallel
The scriptural parallel came after I received the interpretation as I continued to pray in the Spirit. I did not have any scripture for my dream when I woke up, but then as I prayed in the Spirit, I felt that this dream paralleled the Israelites in Egypt along the following lines:
The traditional religious church system is a symbol of Egypt.
The priests of this church system symbolize Pharaoh.
I am representative of modern-day believers in bondage to this church system like the Israelites were in bondage in Egypt.
Just like me in the dream and the Israelites in Egypt, the modern-day believers in the traditional religious system are broken from within (Exod. 6:9).
Just like the Lord told the Egyptian pharaoh to let his people go (Exod. 6:10), He is telling the modern-day religious leaders to let His people go.
The Egyptian pharaoh felt the Israelites were slacking off from making bricks (Exod. 5:8) or indulging in “bad behavior,” and he rebuked them (Exod. 5:17) without realizing or admitting that it was his cruel system of slavery that had broken their spirits, similar to how the priest in the dream rebuked me. So is the case with modern-day believers being rebuked by religious leaders for their spiritual brokenness without realizing that it is the perpetuation of a man-made religious system instead of a Spirit-led life that has precipitated their spiritual brokenness.
Conclusion
So I believe the Lord is telling the religious leaders of this day, “Let my people go.”
And I believe He is telling His people, “Come out of Egypt, and follow Me to the Promised Land.”
A personal note of caution (to myself as well as everybody else): Take care to not perish in the wilderness because of unbelief.

The word for urine in Hebrew is also the word for water and words are represented by water. I see also in this dream the release of words without instruction from the Head to do so. They speak but I have not sent them. The dripping on your shoe speaks of the release of words without the unction of the Spirit is affecting your walk and soiling the shoes of the gospel of peace. Only when you flee from external religious headship will you again become able to hear and heed the urging of the Spirit to speak or withold your words. We must become reconnected to the Head.
Thank you for this insight, Christine. Please intercede for me as the Father leads.
Blessings to you in Christ.
Hi Sujit,
It is not necessarily about you personally. You may represent those who are called to be mouthpieces for the Lord, but are being negatively affected by submitting in a religious system that doesn’t help them connect to the Head. This is why they release words without the Head’s instruction to do so. You standing in their shoes so to speak, helps you to be able to identify with what they are going through in order to intercede for their release from the religious system.

Thank you for clarifying, Christine.
Amen Brother Sujit , I have seen girls & women come into church in short shorts & a tube tops , seen the elders all go to sleep when the pastor gives his sermon as tradition , the church celebrates the pagan holiday of easter & halloween in GODs house . We defile GODs House daily with these practices and think GOD is going to have mercy on us . Ephesians 5 : 11 Holiness is required to move GODs heart !!! Blessings all .
I’m glad you got the translation along with it, it’s a good word. SNS
Dear Sujit, I can not thank you enough for your humility and transparency in sharing this dream. Its message is powerful, eye-opening and life-changing. These are some of my thoughts: The setting is a church service which instead of it being a true service, is a representation of the “disservice” the pharisaical church has done you and all true believers. You were impeccably dressed (I see this as you having put on the Lord Jesus Christ), but you were judged after the flesh and not after the spirit with your actions being perceived as BAD. This judgment was broadcasted loudly (the microphone) so that not only you could hear it, but everyone which is totally unscriptural. Whatever is thought to be amiss, is to be privately brought to the attention of the one supposedly doing wrong and judged after listening, praying and hearing from the Holy Spirit. I do not believe that you were doing wrong in the case presented in this dream as you were dressed in righteousness. Because the erring church has judged us amiss and condemned us, many chain reactions have resulted. Often, we see ourselves through their eyes and conclude not only that we are sinners and unrighteous as we look at our flesh, but that we, ourselves are BAD when all along our hearts are pure and we are righteous in the sight of the Lord. You and all of us are unaware of the anger (urine- being pissed off) that can come in because of this and affect our walk (the urine coming down on your (our) shoes. Oh, my brother, how many in the body of Christ are sick in their bodies and souls because of this very thing!! Suppressed anger can eventually become unrecognized anger and the damage to our immune systems… Read more »
Thank you for sharing this interesting perspective with me, Michele. It resonated with me on several levels.
You might find it interesting that I saw your comment only after I prayed to the Lord asking him if there was something he wanted me to take away from the comments on this post. The fact that what you wrote resonated deeply with me, I believe, is indicative of his answer to my prayer.
What came to my mind while reading the dream is that the urine on the floor represents that the church is unclean and defiled because of its unholy practices.
“Therefore, as I live,’ says the Lord GOD, ‘surely, because you have defiled My sanctuary with all your detestable things and with all your abominations, therefore I will also diminish you; My eye will not spare, nor will I have any pity.” Ezekiel 5:11
But I would have you know that the head of every man is Christ, and the head of the woman is the man, and the head of Christ is God. 1Cor 11:3. The authority over each man is Christ, not another man. Just like there are no intermediaries between wife/husband, nor between Yeshua/Yehovah.
Thank you for your humble honesty! You are correct.
Jeremiah 8:11.For they have healed the hurt of the daughter of my people slightly, saying, Peace, peace; when there is no peace.
2 Kings 10: 26, 27..and they brought forth the images out of the house of Baal, and burned them. And they brake down the image of Baal, and brake down the house of Baal, and made it a DRAUGHT (bathroom) house unto this day.
Baal refers to the evil imagination of our own hearts–hidden idols…
Jeremiah 16:12 And ye have done worse than your fathers; for, behold, ye walk every one after the imagination of his evil heart, that they may not hearken unto me: (Egypt-has to do with the “spirit of whoredoms” that cause MY People to err….dead flies in the ointment (anointing) causes it to stink….Ecc.10:1
The warfare……
2 Corinthians 10:5..Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;
What lies are you believing about the Character of the Heavenly Father….ask Him…good place to start….
Peace and love to you Sujit

Thank you for your thoughts, Bobbi.
If I am believing any lies about my heavenly Father’s character, may he reveal them to me and enable me to cast them out of my life. Please intercede for me in this regard.
Dear Precious Sujit.
I have prayed for you. The Father is pleased with you. Anytime the Holy Spirit unveils something in our lives, it is ALWAYS for healing!
If He does unveil a lie that you are believing about Him, of course repent and renounce it AND in the repentance….repent not only for yourself but repent for your family line…take the repentance all the way back to Adam and Eve, and all the way forward to 1,000 generations- as the lie began somewhere in your family…In that way He is able to cleanse your bloodline from iniquity of generations! Freedom for you, and it allows the Holy Spirit to operate in your loved ones.
Blessings to you!!!!!!
A person urinating in his trousers speaks of a person who is not willing to deal with particular sins in his life like he should.
If you feel you represented the church it makes sense since the church who is supposed to have the shoes on to spread the gospel of peace cant because sins are holding them back to have the influence it should have on the world.
It being the left shoe is more confirmation since the right side represent all that is good and left the opposite.
Everything in a dream needs to be taken into account so make sure you write down as many things you remember before looking for answers.
Direction and movement and so many other symbols all means something and will confirm each other even in the same dream.
The following link has helped me a lot to understand more of my dreams and I have revisted them and found surprsing new info and confirmation.

This is one of the most comprehensive christian sites about dream interpretation. There is even tutorials to explain better.
Hope it helps.
As with all dreams I always start looking at myself first.
Thank you for sharing, Cobus.
Hello Sujit:
Thank you for sharing your insights about the church. We severed our ties with the system almost two years ago. A few have encouraged us to get back in it, we haven’t. The result has been increased intimacy with Jesus, his word, and the demonstration of his faithfulness. Although few walk in the way that we do, we’ve seen his active eye of affection on us through websites, like z3, divine connections, and unfolding revelation that guides us with so much clarity. We are very grateful to know a few from the remnant.
Blessings,
Ivette
Thank you for sharing, Ivette.
I am glad to hear of your increased intimacy with Christ and of the blessings that flow from living in that intimacy.
