In this short dream I'm in a church service and an old pastor friend of mine is sitting at the front in a chair he's holding this sheet of paper that's entirely covered in text on both the front, and the back. He then begins by saying, "I have some prophecies that I need to read off, so everyone please pay attention." He then starts reading them, and as he does, I'm sitting there thinking, "These are okay, but if nothing sticks, if my soul doesn't grab anything, then it's not anything that God needs me to pay attention to." Given how much prophecy, and other things that I have to deal with daily, that's a normal way to filter out all the noise, and just go for the stuff that's most important. So that way of dealing with things like this is pretty status quo for me.
Anyhow, he then keeps reading, and soon reaches the middle of the front page. It's at this point that I hear him say, "Steven W. Lake, thus sayeth the Lord to you," and upon hearing this, I immediately sat up like, "Okay, why am I being talked about in this prophecy dump? He was already talking about all these other people, but why me suddenly?" I then sat there and listened, but all that I heard was little keywords here and there, and a whole lot of mumbling. The rest of it I couldn't understand, as though yes, this prophecy is for me, but what is says is hidden from me for the moment. Among the key phrases and words I did here, was things like, "I have kept him poor because it has served to..." and "Steven Lake, you are to..." but the rest after those little bits were never anything really clean enough to be understood or actionable.
I then saw a man walk over, grab a copy of the prophecy from a pile of copies that pastor had set in front of him, and bring it to me. When I looked at it, I noticed that it was broken up into sections by who it was for. The part that stunned me was that, the section for me was the bottom half of the front of the page, and the top half of the back. It was literally an entire page of prophecy dedicated to just me. But again, nothing I heard, other than those couple of bits, really stuck out to me, or was anything actionable that I can fix or act on. Just one great big, "Steven Lake, thus sayeth, the Lord," and a lot of mumbling. The dream ends there.

My Interpretation:
As crazy as this sounds, it feels like a foreshadowing to me. Sort of a "Hey, heads up, I have something coming your way soon, and you need to pay attention to it as it's important, so don't miss it." I think that this was given to me as a way for God to make me put up my radar and not just be blithely dismissive of some kind of prophecy, and an extensive one at that (like a whole page, man!), which will be coming my way soon. Why would He do that, you might ask? For those of you who don't know, I'm buried in prophecy ever day, and the efforts to track it, as one of my ministries to God and others.
So there is that obvious "filtering" process I go through to follow the mandate that God gave me to "focus only on the most impactful prophecies" (probably so I wouldn't get overloaded tracking everything, because there is a MASSIVE pile of prophecy out there, just in the "most impactful" category, to keep track of, even to the point of being almost overwhelming despite being so narrowed down. So that's why I think this was one of those "heads up" type dreams so I know that, when it does show up, I don't just ignore it and move on, and instead pay close attention to it. Anyhow, that's my thoughts on this.
Have I received that prophecy yet that it talks about? Nope. Like, I JUST got this dream, but I don't expect the actual prophecy, whatever it is, and as voluminous as it is, to show up for a bit. This was just, "the prophecy is in the mail," so to speak, for lack of a better way to say this.
