My wife and I were heading toward our departure gate in an airport terminal, and I did not know where we were traveling. We turned down an aisle, but someone quickly turned us away towards another gate. I looked down, but we did not head in. I then turned around to see a scruffy, homeless-looking man stealing a bottle of whiskey from a concession stand. Not feeling right about what he did, I followed him to a strange contraption he had built. I watched him pour the whiskey into a flask that had an air hose connected to it. He either breathed or drank the alcohol through the flask, like a water bong. As he did so, the liquid or vapor seemed to give him a satisfying experience, suggesting he may have been thirsty.
Seeing that I was interested in his contraption, he showed me how it worked. I followed him over to its beginning point. I could see what appeared to be a water intake extending through a glass wall. It stretched briefly into a river or estuary, then curved back towards the building. The water was dark brown and looked very dirty. I peered over its construction from beginning to end. It looked rickety and hand-built, and it seemed to be floating on the surface.
Once inside the building, the intake waters were heated up by a fire or furnace. The waters evaporated, collected in an underground reservoir, then pumped up over a waterfall inside a clear Plexiglas chamber. As the water cascaded down, it became oxygenated. The hose running through the man's flask came from the air chamber. I then saw a mutilated frog jump away from somewhere near the head of the contraption. It tried to escape, but a hostile-sounding woman appeared and flung the frog back toward the gadget. The frog slid across the floor, which sliced it into a pile of green scum. My wife stared at the frog in pity. Then I awoke.
This was the most bizarre dream. The only things I have been able to understand are that the frog is an indicator species and represents the health of our environment.
Isa 24:5 “The earth is also polluted by its inhabitants, for they transgressed laws, violated statutes, broke the everlasting covenant.”
The dirty-looking estuary could be indicative of environmental pollution. The contraption was purifying water to be drunk, and the alcohol could have been used to kill viruses and bacteria still left in the evaporated water. The man looked very poor and needed to steal the alcohol, suggesting desperation to survive in a world structure that may have collapsed due to natural calamities or economic failures. The water level up to the building may indicate the ocean levels had risen, causing flooding of coastal cities. I began rereading the book of Revelations:
Rev 8:8-11 “The second angel sounded, and something like a great mountain burning with fire was thrown into the sea; and a third of the sea became blood, and a third of the creatures which were in the sea and had life, died; and a third of the ships were destroyed. The third angel sounded, and a great star fell from heaven, burning like a torch, and it fell on a third of the rivers and on the springs of waters. The name of the star is called Wormwood; and a third of the waters became wormwood, and many men died from the waters, because they were made bitter.”
