Fear Dreams

"Fill my wide with the narrow, Fill my safe full of danger, 

Fill my bed full of shadows, Fill my dreams full of strangers

Fill my ears with a ringin', Fill my heart with a fear of fear" Michael David Rosenburg

Fear of Fear 

The Fear that something terrible will happen or will happen again.

3 Chapters in and Job has decided that it is The Creator and not the Destroyer that is against him?


"Why is light given to one who suffers

    and life to the bitter of soul,

to those who long for death, but it does not come,

who dig for it more than for hidden treasures,

who are filled with gladness

    and rejoice when finding the grave?

Why is light given to a man whose way is hidden,

    and whom God has hedged in?

For my sighing comes instead of my bread,

    and my groans pour out like water.

For the thing I dreaded has come upon me,

    and what I feared has happened to me.

I have no ease, no quietness;    I have no rest, but turmoil came.” 


The Trials Of Job 

Chapter 3 Verse 20

Tree of Life Version 

 

The Mind Won't Let Go


Tormenting Dreams


“So I will not keep silent;

    I will speak in the distress of my spirit,

    I will complain in bitterness of soul.

Am I a sea, or a monster of the deep

    that You have set a watch over me?

When I say, ‘My bed will comfort me,

    my couch will ease my complaint,’

then You frighten me with dreams,

    and terrify me with visions,

so that my soul prefers strangulation,

    and my bones death.

I despise it; I would not live forever. Leave me alone, for my days are a vapor. "

The Trials of Job

Chapter 7 Verse 11

Tree of Life Version 




Solomon's Night Guard

Solomon had Night Terrors during the most peaceful time in World History and the most peaceful time in Israel's History. 


"Behold, it is Solomon’s traveling couch—

    around it are sixty warriors

    from the warriors of Israel. 

All of them wield a sword,

    experts in war.

Each man with his sword on his thigh against terrors of the night."
