Like a roaring lion that has come to kill, steal and destroy.

On Friday morning, I woke up at 6am to get ready for school, however, I fell back to sleep. I had a dream when I fell back to sleep:
I was in my Grandparent's house. I found myself looking into the fridge and there was one packet left of some green drink(i think it was some cucumber like drink). That one last packet still had the plastic covering all the 6 in 1 packet drinks always come in on it. It was strange as my Grandmother normally removes that plastic covering. Anyway, my Grandparents went out together for awhile, they told me to take care of the house. Not long after that, I somehow was expecting my mentor, Kenneth to come. But instead, some random dude came. I said hi to him as I initially thought he was my mentor. The random well built and stern looking dude has a circle ear ring on his ear that some how caught my eye. I don't know why. He asked me if I had a drink. I immediately without second thoughts ran to the fridge, took the last packet of drink and gave it to him. After drinking it, he sounded really thirsty and with a hoarse voice, pleaded me to let him into the house as he needed something to quench his thirst. I somehow knew that letting him in would jeopardise the safety of my Grandparents house. He started to get frustrated and angry. In my mind I thought, "I already gave you something to drink, shouldn't you be grateful and not react this way?!"
My Grandmother's house has a gate and a door. In the dream, the gate was special, it required a chopstick to be placed into some part of the gate in order to lock the gate. He threatened to force his way into the house but somehow he knew he couldn't. I took a chopstick and locked the gate with it. He started screaming like as though all hope is lost. I knew it was al for the better, so I closed the door after that. His screamed seemed to grow softer second by second. The dream ended like that. I felt weird when I woke up, the dream felt so real and scary. I thought the dream could have a meaning. I remembered the whole dream somehow.
During the Prayer Meeting in church yesterday, I suddenly remembered the dream and felt God reminding me of the bible verse which goes something like, "the devil has come like a thief to kill, steal and destroy..."(searched it up, it's john 10:10) My understanding of the dream was still obscure.. I shared the dream and the verse I felt God gave my for the dream to my mother, not expecting her to give me an interpretation of the dream. She said something like "normally, all these wooden stuff(chopstick in this case) represents the cross." She reminded me of the devil being a roaring lion that cannot harm us. It all made sense then.
To sum it all up,the possible interpretation of the dream is, the wooden chopstick represented the Cross, I guess that's why the random dude/thief/ devil started screaming as if all hope was lost when I placed the chopstick into the gate. Although the dude seemed fierce, violent and all, he couldn't break into the house, just like the devil similar to a roaring lion that can only roar but is unable to attack me.
Cool dream huh? I wonder if the packet drink, my grandparents going out and me expecting my mentor to come has a meaning behind it...
Maybe the part about my grandparents going out, leaving me the only person in the house to face the random dude meant that, though i'm young and am one person only, with God's strength, the enemy cannot enter and attack?
Feel free to share if you have an idea of what the dream or some parts of the dream could mean. =]

"The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full."
