A few nights ago I had a dream where two men were working on the same item. They were kneeling on the floor and seemed to be dismantling or working at the metal feet of a table or some sort of structure that is able to carry something. I was watching this unfold.
They both had the same equipment to use whilst they were working on this item but one person was struggling and the other was going quite well.
As I was watching on I saw that one of the ladies from church was there, kind of like the person who yell's out in a rowing team. She was calling out "you need to work together, you need to work together". Then she said something about being in either of two places and I can only remember the name of the second place which was 'Bedrock'.
The dream ended.
I initially thought of the Flintstones when I saw Bedrock and thought, what is this about? :)
Firstly to establish that Rock is the revelation that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God and we are to stand upon that foundation alone.

But as I thought of the word as 'Bed Rock' and working together. Friendship and love in the body of Christ working together. To remember that we are to run our own race keeping our eye's on the prize, but we are a part of a body, and as The New Living translation explains Eph 4:16 He makes the whole body fit together perfectly. As each part does its own special work, it helps the other parts grow, so that the whole body is healthy and growing and full of love.
1 Corinthians 12:12-27 ESV For just as the body is one and has many members, and all the members of the body, though many, are one body, so it is with Christ. For in one Spirit we were all baptized into one body—Jews or Greeks, slaves or free—and all were made to drink of one Spirit. For the body does not consist of one member but of many. If the foot should say, “Because I am not a hand, I do not belong to the body,” that would not make it any less a part of the body. And if the ear should say, “Because I am not an eye, I do not belong to the body,” that would not make it any less a part of the body.
I could also see two other meanings of the word Bed Rock.
I have established what Rock means, but bed speaks of rest and or intimacy. To be in that place or rest and intimacy with the Lord, find out His heartbeat, and work with each other fulfilling the plans he lays out. Last night I was speaking with my Connect leader who has spoken that we will be working through our prayer life and establishing it for a closer walk with Jesus. This Connect leader is the one in the dream who was yelling out 'work together, work together'. I see it for individual's with the Lord, I can see if for the church as the body working together, but it can speak also of marriage, for those who are married to work together, encourage each other. Be kind to each other. Pray with each other.
The other meaning of Bedrock is what my friend described as when they are building a tall building, or any sort of building, they ensure that they dig down to the bedrock so that what is being built will be stabilized against anything that may come against it. That seemed to also fit in to what was being done in the dream, as they seemed to be working on the feet, the part that stabilised.
So in the dream I saw the encouragement for the church to work together, in doing so one can help the other. That as we support each other, as we walk together in Christ, as we dig down into the bedrock of what our Christianity is all about, who it is about, and what the Lord want's to do - even in the particular part of the body where He calls us, then we will grow together as Eph 4:16 puts it He makes the whole body fit together perfectly. As each part does its own special work, it helps the other parts grow, so that the whole body is healthy and growing and full of love.

I had been holding onto a picture that I saw the other day and it really touched me and I had been wondering how to share it, but I felt that I could use it here. It is from a Facebook photography page that I subscribe to and I felt that as the body work's together then we will fly together. I have also added a picture of two Eagles as I felt this was a powerful picture as well.
The words that came to me:
Work together, Fly together.
Dig Deep.
Find Rest and Intimacy.
