You couldn't find the page they were turning to because their books were their own...just like yours was your own. Christ in you is a personal thing, not a group compliance thing. In my opinion, which is limited to my own perceptions of study and life experience, what your dream means to me is this:
Never confine your SELF, the Christ in you, by the expectation of others. In your dream, it was not their impatience, but your own according to an expected feeling of compliance. One of the very cool Greek text studies I did for Rom. 10:9, 10 showed very clearly that I am not to believe in my heart that God raised Jesus from the dead (physically). Rather the Greek words are clear in their accuracy and preciseness that "The God awakened as from sleep self from the state of the dead."
These bodies we live in are temporary. They are shaped by education and experience to believe that is all we are. We were fortunate in the Way to learn that mankind's experience can be spiritual, soulful and bodily.
If it were my dream, I would draw the conclusion that Christ in me would be telling me to not be constrained by the bodily experience. As Paul wrote, we should not be con-formed to this physical reality, the cosmos in which mankind is the center. Rather, we are to be meta-formed (metamorphosis) by the up-newing of our minds (spirit/mental).
Meta is an interesting preposition, one of several which mean "with." It is with in association, unlike sun, sum or sus which are different forms of with in accordance to the whole set. Sun, sum and sus represent that all the elements have the same properties and relationships as the set is ONE.
Meta can touch another set, but does not enter within it to become a sun, sum and sus, which imply compliance with the set. It is not compliance with other bodies that up-new us. It is the touching association with the Christ within that does.
There is no book that can do that. No religious sect able to accomplish it. The Bible was written to represent a process not a compliance.
Personally, I would stop trying to read from everyone else's books.
I too have had this dream. Therefore, I shall "go and do thou likewise". Thank you Karen for your indepth spiritual perception and awareness. And Joe, you are so brave to have hung yourself out here like this. Your being honeest like this will no doubt help untold thousands who have had this similar need, but were too ascaird to reveal their fear before all. And remember Joe, fear is nothing more than "False Evidence Appearing Rill". Well, "Real". I wrote it that way so that Ronnie Wallace would understand it because he says "rill" when he says "real". I wonder what he sounds like now with an Aussie accent mixed in there? But I digress. I am going now to go and do thou likewise...
The reunion is the return. You will not be called upon to perform. You have been saved by grace, there is nothing you could do to get it except believe unto and then it was still His perogative to give it to you, which He did.
You will have to give account, however, for what you have done with that saving grace.
Perhaps God is asking you what you want to do with that saving grace.
That you were fooling around and not paying attention is what you think of yourself, you think you really haven't done much for Him and have been goofing off. That may or may not be real, you will have to ask God for His assessment, and quit putting your own ideas above His.
That you were more concerned with what everyone else around you were thinking and not what the Lord was thinking, I would deal with the fear of man in your heart. Ask forgiveness and move on. Then ask God what He wants you to be doing now that you have salvation, and go do it.
Noone else could tell you what page you were on because they have different scriptures they are accountable for, and straight up, if you want the real answers you gotta ask God, not man.
You might want to ask forgiveness for wanting to give up, we always want to give up when we go to man for anything because man didn't save us and doesn't have the right to judge us or to provide for us. Only God is the endless supply.
Ask God what it is He wants you to be accountable for and then go do it.
I believe God is knocking on your door, my friend.
many blessings, Karen
