VBS week three

Choose a set of questions for deeper reflection on your dreams.

Questions for Grown-Ups

What dreams, waking or sleeping, did you have as a child? Have any of those dreams come true? What action could you take to make another one of those dreams come true?
What daydreams do you currently have? How often do you allow yourself to dream? What might change if you thought of your hopes and dreams as God’s call for your life?
Joseph's brothers got angry about his dreams. How have you been held back by what others think of your dreams? Where could you find a community that understands and supports your dreams?

Questions for Young Disciples

Experts say that most people dream four to six times a night! That's over 1,400 dreams a year but most dreams we don't remember once we wake up. How often do you remember your dreams? Do your dreams ever encourage you to try something new? Who do you share your dreams with? If you could pick what you dream about what would you choose?

Questions for Younger Disciples

Do you know what a dream is? Dreams are pictures or feelings that can happen when you sleep. You don't remember most of your dreams once you wake up. Sometimes, you do! Dreaming can also be described like pretending while you sleep. What is something you like to pretend to play?

Option 1:

Lay on your back outside for 60 minutes without technology and watch the clouds. Use your imagination to "see" the clouds as the shape of familiar things.

Option 2:

Clear an hour in your calendar to listen for the "still small voice of God." Go outside or to an interesting place and allow yourself to follow your whims, as long as you won't hurt anyone. Give yourself permission to just sit outside for an hour without being productive. No electronics, no books, but paper and pen are OK. Resist the temptation to have a goal. Doodle, make a word association map, or just take in your surroundings. What do you see, hear, smell, or feel?

Activity for Families:

Look for different images and shapes in the clouds. Then make up a story about what you found.
