I have been thinking about puns in dreams and they are very clear once you write them out and read them to yourself. A recent dream I had was about 4 cows I had forgot about. I hadn't given them food or water for several days. My husband had felt sorry for them and decided to stay with them for the night. When I went outside to check on them, they were standing on the grill which was turned on. I remember thinking, "burning the sacred cows." Sacred cows refers to things we hold dear to and are unwilling to change. We need to be willing to let God show us the areas of our lives that we think are so important and sacred and let Him burn away everything that is not of Him. He actually showed me the cows standing on the grill to make a picture in my mind of what He was trying to do in my life.
