Dream Dictionary – the Letter W

Wage / Wages

Wages are usually about the path of death, sickness, poor relationships etc. If your dream about “salary”, then go to the entry under the letter S.

The key passage for wages is Romans 6:23 “For the wages of sin is death, but the gracious gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.”

But there’s also a theme of it in the Old Testament such as in Haggai 1:6:

“You have sown much, only to harvest little; you eat, but there is not enough to be satisfied; you drink, but there is not enough to become drunk; you put on clothing, but there is not enough for anyone to get warm; and the one who earns, earns wages to put into a money bag full of holes.”

We also see a reference in Zechariah 11:12 about Judas who betrayed Jesus so that He was crucified. Zechariah 11 is about those who refused to come to Jesus:

“And I said to them, ‘If it is good in your sight, give me my wages; but if not, never mind!’ So, they weighed out thirty shekels of silver as my wages.”

Week or Weekend in Dreams

Weekend is a very important word if it appears in dreams. As is its opposite “week”. The word “week” in Greek is the same word as Sabbath or “rest” that we have in Christ – σάββατον (sabbaton).

But weekend symbolises the end of rest, meaning “no rest”.  If you or your characters are said to have a weekend, that means your life lacks the true rest of the New Covenant. We are taught in the New Testament to keep “in Him”, meaning, in peace / rest – a state of “the easy yoke” not the difficult one of going under our own steam.

The week is also about creation. So weekend means the end of believing the new creation dominion of the believer. That is the failure of achieving rest. Again, Jesus said the Sabbath is for man, not man to serve the Sabbath. So when we enter His spiritual rest, it is for our health and benefit. If we make it a law to keep a special day and think that is pleasing God, Old Covenant style, we have moved ourselves back under law where there is now no longer a place of rest. the letter of the law kills, in Christ we have life in super abundance and health. See Hebrews 4:1-10 below.

The Sabbath rests – not just the Saturday of the Old Testament, were many rest times in festivals which depicted or symbolised Jesus Christ. If we try to just keep Saturday (or even Sunday) as a day without work, we miss the point of Christ fulfilling all the law for us. We fail to “enter rest” and can become ill in body.

He is our Sabbath rest. No-one is to judge us as to one day a week “rest” from labour. Indeed, we live in His rest and that is where health resides – in our salvation:

See Hebrews 4:1-10 – “Therefore, since a promise remains of entering His rest, let us fear lest any of you seem to have come short of it. For indeed the gospel was preached to us as well as to them; but the word which they heard did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in those who heard it. For we who have believed do enter that rest, as He has said:

“So I swore in My wrath,
‘They shall not enter My rest,’ ”

although the works were finished from the foundation of the world. For He has spoken in a certain place of the seventh day in this way: “And God rested on the seventh day from all His works”; and again in this place: “They shall not enter My rest.”

Since therefore it remains that some must enter it, and those to whom it was first preached did not enter because of disobedience, again He designates a certain day, saying in David, “Today,” after such a long time, as it has been said:

“Today, if you will hear His voice,
Do not harden your hearts.”

For if Joshua had given them rest, then He would not afterward have spoken of another day. There remains therefore a rest for the people of God. 10 For he who has entered His rest has himself also ceased from his works as God did from His.

Windows in Dreams

Windows in dreams can have a positive or negative connotation. Even negative things in dreams are sent to help and guide us.

We need to note the person or people or other objects in relation to the window. Also other features like its state, size and position. Is there glass? Or is it just an square / rectangular opening in a wall? If glass, are they open or closed?

If you are a woman and it is your husband looking though windows at you / someone, then this is the metaphor of Jesus we see in the Song of Solomon 2:9.

“My beloved is like a gazelle or a young stag. Behold, he is standing behind our wall, He is looking through the windows, He is peering through the lattice.

If there is a negative feeling in the dream and a context of things going wrong, such as earth quakes and an open window up high (heaven) then this symbolises judgment that the dreamer is likely to be walking in. It is a warning dream. We see this as a symbol in Isaiah 24:18.

Then it will be that the one who flees the sound of terror will fall into the pit, And the one who climbs out of the pit will be caught in the snare; For the windows above are opened, and the foundations of the earth shake.”

A dirty window in a dream speaks of an inability to see spiritual things.

To break a window is a refusal to acknowledge spiritual truth.

A car windscreen is similar, if there is a tradesman’s vehicle (Australia uses the term “ute” or “utility”; in the US I believe they call it a “truck”) carrying timber and it blocks the wind screen view, one is being shown one’s own self-righteous hypocrisy. This is especially so if the timber is painted white. See Matthew 7:3-5 and Matthew 23:27 -28.

Similarly something like wood in the eye speaks of the same thing.

Windows can also speak of being able to see through; it may indicate either a revelatory gift or that the Lord wants to show you a particular thing about your life. See

In Ezekiel 40. The prophet is shown the measuring of the “temple” except it is like no earthly temple ever built. It is symbolic of the New Jerusalem with “windows all around” being a repeated feature. This speaks of the “seeing” that Jesus gives us when we humble ourselves to acknowledge Him as true Lord of Heaven, earth and of ourselves in particular. We receive a revelation of the New Jerusalem or Heavenly Zion to which the writer of Hebrews says believers have already come!

See also Daniel 6:10.

The windows of heaven also speak of salvation as we see in Malachi 3:10.

“Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, so that there may be food in My house, and put Me to the test now in this,” says the Lord of armies, “if I do not open for you the windows of heaven and pour out for you a blessing until it overflows.”

This verse is often misquoted by churchianity leaders to extort money from their congregations. On pain of a curse – the previous verse speaks about the whole natural nation of Israel being cursed because they refused to give the food over to the priests. The tithes of produce was for food provision for priests, which all believers are today – because they are “In” the High Priest, Jesus Christ. The tithe is a shadow of Christ’s food. It actually points to Christ and His word of salvation. To reject the work of our High Priest Jesus is to remain under the curse of Adam. To accept Him is to open the windows of heaven. The blessing of the Old Testament always points to salvation.

A window can also be speaking of discernment of something wise, as in wise judgment of how to behave in a godly way and discernment/ judgment of evil ways. In Proverbs 7:6-7 wisdom is presented as a person (personified) as various things. In verse , it is a mother / parent watching unwise behaviour to warn her son not to follow the wrong path:

“For at the window of my house
I looked out through my lattice,
And I saw among the naive,
And discerned among the youths
A young man lacking sense.”

In this case wisdom, as a parent looks through a holy perspective and the parent can symbolise the newly created perfection of Christ in a believer (the dreamer, even if the parent stands apart from you in the dream). It can also represent the ecclesial group you are in if you have been given some wise advice and are using your free will to resist it. the Holy Spirit then comes in a dream to advise you to turn to the Lord.
