In this dream, I was looking for a peaceful spot at my university campus to unwind (i’m not at uni anymore) and I came across the most gorgeous and breathtakingly beautiful place I have ever seen. There was this gorgeous ancient-looking pavilion on the other side of this canyon, and on the other side of the pavilion there was this beautiful view over green valleys and countryside. The pavilion had pillars all the way around holding up the roof, and no walls. It had a beautifully decorated floor, and even though the architecture was in an ancient style, the pavilion was in perfect condition. I was very surprised when I found this place. There were bright beams of sunlight shining through the pillars of the pavilion, and it was just so incredibly beautiful.
(I tried to draw a picture of it when I woke up, I can post it in the comments if necessary)
Between me and this pavilion there was this canyon, which had a reddish dirt colour, with this cluster/line of huge stone columns coming up from the canyon floor that you can jump across on to get to the other side. Alex (Alexandra, the youth pastor at our church who was appointed to be on staff this year) was also there, and was not surprised to see this place, as if she knew about it already, and she easily used the stone columns to jump across to the other side.
When I tried to do the same, I misjudged a jump, landed in the canyon, and had to climb up between two columns before I could keep heading towards the pavilion.
I am a trainee taking the Dream Stories Interpretation Mentoring Class and I am interpreting your dream to complete one of my assignment. My interpretation is that you are in between of two ways of life and want to make a decision or make a way out. There is an invitation from the Holy One that you should follow Him, taking your faith to jump and follow through.

Hi @vivi.whlee , thank you for interpreting my dream. I think there are parts of this that make sense, I’m not sure if i’m in-between two ways of life, but I do think that the part about me trusting God is probably accurate.
I think that there is a bit more to this dream that i’m trying to understand. I would love to know what the pavilion means, why our youth pastor is there, and why I end up in the canyon after misjudging a jump? And why everything is so incredibly beautiful? I have genuinely never in my life seen a place so beautiful, the feeling of seeing that beautiful place stayed with me all day after having this dream.
Hi Michelle @Michelle Steenkamp
I am a level 3 studenot moderator. I like the interpretation given by @vivi.whlee - about learning to jump in faith. I like to share my perspective on this.
I can feel the beauty of the dream in the way @Michelle Steenkamp describe it. I feel that as you learn to go higher and deeper in the ways of the Lord, the Lord is inviting you to see His inner court ( pavilion) His Favour and His protection/ His Sanctuary of Rest and the Lord is showing that the journey is not straightforward as there will be ups and downs as you step out in faith in ministry possibly among the youths, you will find success as you learn the ways to navigate .

@chiacat Thank you, I feel that this interpretation resonates with me, I definitely feel that as I have been going through challenges recently that God is pulling me closer to Him. I feel that I am l learning so much, and It’s really cool that God is showing me a glimpse of the bigger picture here, as it gives me courage for the journey ahead.
