Interpretation on Dream of kayak and Bedok cove
Interpretation:
Messenger of God (Steven) told me/people of God to commit my/our life, time and personal ministry (small boat symbolize personal ministry & life. "kayak" I believe also symbolize recreation and spare time) to the church (large ship symbolize the church ; battleship symbolize spiritual warfare; rescue). A church that is ready for warfare and to rescue. A church (Bedok=mine hunter ship=large battleship symbolize church that rescue/spiritual warfare, church also called the House of Prayers, a place that calling believers to pray) that is anchorage/in the state of being secured. Christ is the sheltered bay (Cove=sheltered bay; anchorage means the action of securing something to a base or the state of being secured. An area off the coast which is suitable for a ship to anchor. Anchor-symbolic of hope, Heb. 6:1. Shelter symbolize place of refuge provided by God from spiritual enemies and people who spread strife, Ps. 31:20)
Personally, in my real life, I do not quite comprehend the ministry in church. I have been keeping a distance from church ministries though I am seeking to understand and finding the purposes of it. I am phobia to "overly or extreme religion" people (pharisees) in church or people who always talked big about big project or ministry but did not live out a truely humble christian lifestyle. I suppose in the dream I was angry of Steven for accusing me of being ignorance while I was sincere in finding out what a truely righteous church is doing. A church (people) who are consistent in or outside the church.

The dream:
Steven or Stephen was telling me to have a Kayak (use of kayak to move across the water) to house the children at Bedok cove (a small sheltered bay.
synonyms: bay, inlet, indentation, fjord, natural harbour, anchorage; (sea) loch; lough
"the steps carved out of the cliff led down to a small sandy cove").
I told him I knew the kayaking or kayak canoeing, yes I know. He sneered at me that I did not know the project of Kayak, a big shelter or kayak shaped building to house the children. I became angry and told him if he cares to explain to me, I will be able to understand what the project was about, but if he just wanted to sneered at my being unaware or ignorance, I was angry. I walked away...

Bedok, in Malay, refers to a type of slit drum used in the past to call worshipers to the mosque for prayers or to alert nearby villagers to important announcements. The name appears as far back as 1604 in a reference to the Bedok River in Manuel Gomes de Erédia's map of Singapore. Over two hundred years later in 1828, it appears again in Franklin and Jackson's first comprehensive map of Singapore as Badok S. (Sungei Bedok). A less likely origin is the Malay term "biduk", which means a small fishing boat – the kind to be found in the numerous fishing villages dotting the nearby coastline in the past.
