Sleep Time, Dream Time, Rest Time!

Apr6

Last week Friday, April 1st, I tried an experiment on myself and took notice that for every 3 minutes of sleep time, I actually dreamed for 1 minute.  Every time I opened my eye,s I documented the time.  Three times in a row, I dozed off to sleep and woke up exactly 3 minutes later.  During each of those 3 minutes of sleep time, I watched a 1 minute video in my dream and would wake up.

INCREDIBLE!  I am FASCINATED by time and numbers!  

Sleep Time (min.) Dream Time (min.)
3 1
30 10
45 15
60 20
180 60

Based upon that experiment, I got to pondering:  if we are actually “resting” during dream time, 3 hours of sleep time (180 minutes) would BE equal to 1 hour of rest time (60 minutes).  This would mean in order for us to achieve 8 hours of rest in a full day, we’d need 24 hours of sleep time.  Hmmm!

THINKING OUT LOUD:  And who is literally going to sleep for 24 hours?

Sleep Time (hours) Rest Time (hours)
3 1
6 2
12 4
18 6
24 8

However, it’s been noted via sleep studies and other testings that REM sleep makes up 25% of our sleep cycle.  In this cycle, our brain and bodies are rejuvenated and dreaming occurs.  So then, I got to pondering:  if we are sleeping for 3 hours, we’ve actually experienced 45 minutes of rest time, rejuvenation, dream time.    

Sleep Time (hours) Rest Time – Dream Time (hours)
3 :45
6 1.5
12 3
18 4.5
24 6

Based on this supposition, many of us (including myself) are not honoring our brain and bodies.  We are abusing ourselves by not giving to ourselves an acceptable allocation of honorable rest (not sleep) time.  Studies indicate that based on the age group of my household, we need 8 to 10 hours of sleep per day cycle.  This means that our brains and bodies will receive 2 to 2 hrs. and 30 minutes of rest per day.  

If in fact there are 24-hours in a day cycle, a tithe of a day would BE 2.4 hours, also noted as 144 minutes, also noted as  2 hrs. and 24 minutes.  Can we devote a tenth of our time, 2 hrs. and 24 minutes, to rest by getting adequate sleep?  

I’m certainly going to start this manner of devotion and for this reason:  I need to honor my temple, not just my body as in flesh and bones.  But, my body as in my brain, my neurological system, my heart, my lungs, etc.  Doing this is critical and will make me equally emotionally, physically, and spiritually healthy.  

Sleep Time!  Dream Time!  Rest Time!

Within The 30-Minute Restoration

Jul31

This morning, I awakened to another migraine at 5:39 a.m. (17 victory), and here it was 5 hours later (favour) to the minute, 10:39 a.m. (13 lawlessness), that it is still speaking loudly with thumps of pain. At 8:13 a.m. (12 perfection), my Josue’ informed me that the internet wasn’t working so I checked my account and sure enough the payment I made two weeks ago was never debited. So, I called Comcast at 9:07 a.m. (16 love) to pay the bill, again, and the recording said, “Your service will BE restored WITHIN 30 minutes (30 The Blood of Christ)!”

In that moment, the very blink of an eye, I understood that this was the appointed day and time for the LORD’s affirmation to my prayers. At 9:26 a.m. (17 victory), my Josue’ says, “Mom, it’s working now.” That was 19 minutes (faith) after I called them.

From a biblical perspective, numbers have meaning, For a very long time now, more than 10 years, I’ve paid attention to the hour of revelation (the time that the Holy Spirit revealed something or spoke divine to me). At those specific times mentioned in the writing, they all bear a sum total number: 5:39 = 17. 17 means victory. The Spirit and Truth has been speaking to me like this for a long time.  I never really understood the appointed hour and their significance until 2005 and have been listening to the LORD with sharpness every since.

The Holy Spirit even speaks to me in a different language in my dreams.  I’ve had to wake up and research to make sure I knew what I heard was a real word and what it meant.  I was also doing some verbal transcription and the recordings picked up two foreign languages in my dialect that I’ve never spoken or studied. I have to look up the words that came out of my mouth and OMGOSH, they were real words. This was my spirit self, my true self that was created in the beginning, in the image of US (Genesis 1:26) and in OUR likeness, speaking the languages of YAH. SELAH!

Within The 30-Minute Restoration: It’s Working NOW! What’s working now and how is it working?

Victory, divine perfection and authority, and pure divine love is all working for me and everything lawlessness (created by man and inspired by Satan) is overpowered by the redemption that I have through the blood of Christ shed. My faith worketh and fail me not because I don’t fail my faith. I AM has come to my household and all services (all things that are rightfully and duly mine) are restored!

So then, I thank You Father for this ‘Within 30-Minute Restoration’ on today.
