Summer Refresh: All About Symbolism
06/10/24 • 30 min
Remember when you dreamt you were naked, your teeth were falling out, or you were pregnant? You are not alone! These are among the most common dreams. Originally aired as Episode 3, this episode kicks off our Summer Refresh series. Last week, Margaux shared a prophetic word about experiencing refreshing this summer as we step into a new season (literally and spiritually).
We’ll revisit key basics of dream interpretation from previous episodes to stay sharp. As the title suggests, we’ll discuss the importance and power of symbolism in dreams. How do you know if your dream is literal or symbolic? The vast majority of the time, dreams are SYMBOLIC - just as God often used symbolism in the Bible to communicate, He still uses that same language to speak in your dreams.
When deciphering dream symbols, here are some helpful guidelines:
1) Rely on Holy Spirit for interpretation!
2) Consider what the symbols mean to you personally and their biblical context.
3) Google the prophetic meaning of the symbol - no shame in the Google game! Ask Holy Spirit to highlight anything He wants to speak through your search.
This episode offers key practical tips for interpreting dreams with Holy Spirit’s guidance, and of course, we reveal interpretation for the three common dreams mentioned above!
*Scripture References: Mark 4:1-2; 1 Corinthians 2:9-14
“What do I mean when I say that dreams are symbolic? I mean that often times you will have a dream where the things or the people in your dreams actually represent something else.”
“We are receiving information in parables and the invitation here is to get into the quiet place, sit with God, listen to your heart, and He’s going to describe and tell you what He was talking about in those dreams.”

Summer Refresh: 3 Ways To Recommit + Refresh Your Dream Life
Episode 65 Summer Refresh
As we enter into as CRAZT HOT WEEK in Northern California ( think triple digits )- Summer has arrived. This episode is the first in the Summer series of Breathing Underwater called “The Summer Refresh”. In this episode Margaux shares 3 reasons for the title Summer Refresh as well as 3 practical ways to intentionally engage with the new physical and spiritual season of summer with a return to simplicity and refreshment in the truth of the Gospel, as God as our first lover and to the foundations of biblical, spirit lead dream interpretation. Here are the practical ways to engage with the reset:
- Get a dream journal or a new dream journal. Or create a new folder on your phone.
- Set some time apart to go back through the last quarter of your dreams and reflect. Are there any patterns you see in your dream content? Are there any dreams that have been fulfilled? Make a new folder or tag them so they go into a new mental category.
- Look at your summer and ask Holy Spirit to help you find a REALISTIC rhythm of time to spend with your dreams. Time to seek out God: "For everyone who asks receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks it will be opened”. Matthew 7:8 Take an honest assessment of your days and set goals that are realistic and life-giving.
Summer brings something different for all of us. For some it’s a winding down, others it’s a ramping up and many have lives that stay the same. But let’s acknowledge the change in season and respond to the newness of it but taking a pause to re-align, re-set and intentionally seek God for His voice in our lives.

Summer Refresh: 4 Questions to Start Interpreting Dreams
In the second part of our Summer Refresh series, we revisit some essentials originally aired in Episode 4 that will help set you up for success when identifying the sources of dreams and knowing where to start when interpreting. Grab a pen and paper because this is chock-full of dream interpretation GOLD! Taking her own advice, Margaux also goes through two examples of dreams from her life to model interpretation for us.
4 sources of our dreams: Body, Soul, Demonic realm, God
Before interpreting dreams:
- Write the date! If you happened to be somewhere that’s not your norm, this could add to interpretation.
- Write a title for your dream. For example, if it were a film, what would you title it so you could easily pick it out from a pile?
- Write down your emotions. Were they primarily positive or negative? This is an indicator of the source and can help with interpreting symbols within the context and with the witness of Holy Spirit.
Then, invite Holy Spirit to come be with you and to help interpret the dream.
4 Questions to ask when interpreting dreams:
- Who or what is this dream about?
- What area of your life does this pertain to?
- Are there any recurring themes in the dream?
- What are the main focuses of the dream?
*Scripture References: John 6:53-69; 1 Corinthians 1:27; Mark 4:21-25; Proverbs 25:2; 1 Corinthians 2:10
“God is not the author or source of all dreams, but this is secondary in importance to His sovereignty and relational pursuit of us through them.”
“The spirit realm operates on attention. If we’re going to talk about the currency of the Kingdom, we’re going to talk about faith. We have all as humans been endowed with this gift of faith, and we get to choose where we deposit this currency.”
