It would be a good practice to write your dreams down as soon as you can because that way you can hone in on important details.
Dreams are important because they can tell us some things that we may not understand and it is a way in which our sub conscience will speak to us in a little more clairty.
Not only that, Joesph a man of God in the Bible, was labeled a dreamer. He would have dreams about his own future in which his brothers laughed at him.
Later on, Joesph’s dreams became a reality.
Maybe God is trying to reveal something to you through your dreams.
I know in my own life, I have had lots of dreams. The ones I knew were from God is because they really would puzzle me and I would pray for the intrepretation of them.
The most recent dream I had, it involved me, getting mad at my husband because he had somehow lost the car and I did not know where it was and I took his set of keys from him because I was so angry.
Now immediatly in my own thinking, I thought he would maybe fall back into his old drinking habits and that something would maybe happen to the car and that maybe God was trying to warn me ahead of time!!!
Later on however, I believe I found out the reason that I may have had the dream.
I was talking to my oldest daughter on the phone shortly after I had the dream and as I told her about my dream, she piped up and said, “It is strange that you had that dream mom, because recently I lost the keys to the truck and I have searched everywhere and I still can’t find them!”
My daughter was having a very stressful time in her life over the keys to her truck and God was wanting me to know about her dilemma.
I am not sure why God don’t just come out and use the real person in the dream and why the dream is done the way it is!
I suppose nothing in our lives is never easy and it just comes by trusting in knowing that God who is all powerful and knowing and that He has a plan even when we are sleeping!!!
God said that He would pour out His spirit in the last days, that our children would dream dreams, have visions and Prophecy! I believe we are living in those days right now!
I think it is so awesome that God cares so much about every detail of our lives, that He will speak to us in these amazing ways!
Tapping the unknown, the parts of our brain that have never been used as of yet. The unsolved mysteries of the Universe that we have yet so much to understand!
I believe that dreams are good stress relievers because when a person finally has a chance to rest their mind and body during sleep, then the stress that has been bottled up during the day, finally has a means of escape!
Dreams are not the same as nightmares. Nightmares are due to over stress, unresolved fears and some can be Satanic. Meaning, that Satan can even come as an Angel of Light in our dreams!
If the dream/nightmare is unsettling to you or overwhelms you with fears, then more than likely, it is a not a Godly dream at all.
When you journal your dream, make a note of the time and date first. Then write down who was in the dream if you know them. Then write down colors, directions, objects and any other thing that may seem important to you.
If you can determine right away the source of the dream or nightmare, then that will make it easier on trying to intrepret the dream.
All this information is a vital key to finding out if your dream has some significance or not.
If you have access to a portable voice recorder, you might want to keep it handy by your bed and then you can just record things about your dream this way.
If you believe that you have had a dream from God or the Holy Spirit, then once you determine that, pray and ask God to help you interpret the dream.
For me, these dreams are sort of like a puzzle and I have to either piece it together or connect the dots in some way.
One thing is for sure for me, God has certainly kept my interest going when I get these dreams.
I wonder, maybe none of us are still enough or wait long enough to hear from God and that is why we have to hear from Him in our dreams. Of course those that spend a great deal of time in bed asleep, would more then likely have a lot of dreams.
Sweet dreams and may God speak to you in dreams and visions. May you also have more clarity when you have dreams.
