11 ways to know if a dream is from God

Marko Joensuu         629 comments
Here are some principles that help you discern the origin of a dream.

1. Can you remember the dream?

If you can’t remember the dream when you wake up, it wasn’t from God. If God chooses to communicate to you through a dream He will ensure that you remember it.

You should write down any dream that you believe might originate from God straight away, as that will help you remember it later. 

When you do that, you should describe the main plot, characters and elements such as colours, objects and the atmosphere. Daniel 7:1 says,

"In the first year of Belshazzar king of Babylon, Daniel had a dream and visions of his head while on his bed. Then he wrote down the dream, telling the main facts."

2. Is it clearly structured or confusing?

God brings order into chaos and clear focus into confusion. You might not understand a God-given dream fully but if a dream is confusing it is never from God. Paul told Timothy,

"For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind." (2 Timothy 7:1)

Others translate the spirit of fear as ‘the spirit of confusion’. When God speaks He will always communicate with clarity—even when you don’t understand what He says!

3. Is the dream connected to something you are processing in your mind?

If the dream deals with something you worry or think about a lot it is probably a result of your subconscious attempting to resolve what your conscious mind can’t. Also, if you watch a movie late at night you might see a sequel to it at night—with you playing the hero! Unless the dream gives an unexpected solution to your problem you should disregard it.

4. What is the emotional atmosphere? 


Most dreams filled with anxiety or despair come from the subconscious that functions as an overpressure valve for our fears. If you suppress your fears and anxieties they will appear in your dreams. 

But God never adds fear to your life; He always reduces it. You might see a dream that shows you the cause of your fear but then provides a solution. This kind of dream is often from God. 

The emotional atmosphere is often the key to the interpretation.

5. Is the dream linked to something God has already revealed to you?


God often adds or brings depth to what He has already revealed through a dream. It is yet another channel for Him to reveal His purposes and perspective.  

6. Is there biblical symbolism? 

Distrust any dream dictionaries as symbols often have different meanings in different cultures. If God uses symbols He chooses them based on what they mean to you rather than someone else. On the other hand, biblical symbols often point to a dream coming from God.

7. Is it a ‘realistic’ dream?


If so, it might refer to a real-life future situation, unless it clearly refers to the past. You might not be sure whether the dream was from God until you face that situation, and then it will help you to act the right way.

8. Is there a demonic element in the dream?


Just because there is a demonic element it doesn’t automatically mean that it originated from the enemy, as it might be the gift of discerning spirits in you reacting to an unseen demonic influence.

You should always pray over these dreams, and the Holy Spirit will either give you more understanding about them, or ask you to reject them outright.

9. Are you doing something wrong in the dream?


If you see a dream where you are doing something wrong, it is never from God—unless it is something you are doing or in danger of doing in real life, and God is convicting or warning you. 

These dreams might be the product of your subconscious or originate from the enemy. 

10. Do you wake up into God’s presence?


Sometimes I wake up with a distinct sense that a dream was from God. At other times, I wake up into a strong presence of God, and that can be a sign that it is a God-given dream.  

At other times God is present as He is dealing with a demonic attack that took place through a dream. It is usually easy to tell the difference. 

11. What happens when you pray over the dream?


You should always pray over a dream you think might have come from God. When you do that the Holy Spirit will often reveal you more and begin to explain its elements.

THE GIFT OF DREAM INTERPRETATION


All people see dreams but those with prophetic gift can often interpret other people’s dreams. In Genesis 41 Joseph is brought from the dungeon to see the Pharaoh as his chief butler knows that Joseph has the gift of dream interpretation. Both the butler and the Pharaoh worshipped the Egyptian gods. Perhaps the Pharaoh was used to seeing demonic dreams.  But this dream has come from God. That’s why none of the magicians of Egypt could interpret it. 

Joseph and Daniel must be the most famous dream interpreters of all time.  Both confessed that it was God who gave them their ability. 

Here are five principles that can help you interpret God-given dreams.

1. Ask God for the interpretation


Many often miss this first step. Remember that if God gave you the dream He can also give you the interpretation.

2. Consider the symbols


Are there any symbols in the dream that have personal significance to you? Be careful with dream dictionaries unless they focus on biblical symbols. In the ancient Babylon, a black cat was the bearer of good fortune but in the Middle Ages it was linked to witchcraft. 
There are no references to black cats in the Bible. What does a black cat mean to you?

3. What is the emotional atmosphere?


The emotional atmosphere of a dream is important and it often helps you interpret it. For example, the dream might show a challenging situation but the atmosphere is faith-filled. This usually means that God is showing that you will be able to overcome your challenges.

4. Does the dream feel realistic?


There are dreams that appear realistic and they can refer to past real events or future events. If they come from God they usually bring their own interpretation.

5. Is the dream meant to be understood immediately?


Dreams often refer to distant future. It took years before Joseph’s dream about the Sun, Moon and the eleven stars bowing down to him come to pass. When he saw the dream he had no real understanding of its meaning. 

If you don’t understand a dream, put it aside, but don’t disregard it. Later on, it can give you great confidence as when it comes to pass you will know that you are walking in the will of God. Joseph knew that it was God who had raised him to rule Egypt because He wanted to save Joseph’s family so he blessed his brothers rather than revenged their treachery.

6. Is the dream meant to be shared immediately?


I saw a dream concerning my local church in Finland over fifteen years ago. Yet, I shared that dream to the leaders only recently, as they had arrived in the season shown in the dream. 

Don’t assume automatically that a dream should be shared immediately. Instead, pray over it, and God will give you wisdom regarding sharing the dream at the right moment.

    3. I’ve had an interesting dream about a year ago, where in the dream I was in airplane, and I was flying with my cousin, mom, and my aunt over a vast forest—and the interesting part is—there’re things with light so bright it shot into the sky, and in the dream I was fascinated, and I can still feel the feeling of fascination now. In the dream I landed and wants to go check out the lights in the forest, yet this is when I said, in the dream, there’s a short way to go before seeing the light, and I wake up, with the feeling of fascination, what do you think it means?

    5. To be honest, I am not certain - but the dream clearly reflects an optimistic and curious mindset that you should perhaps apply to a part of your life.

    1. Hello Marko...I have a had dream where I was at the Gym working out, in great shape and I pick up a photo..in the left side it shows my ex girlfriends face alittle blurted and on the right side a new girlfriend face but clear no blurred ...then I here a demonic voice telling me that "we are coming for you, we are going to attack you in another relatinoship" with a faint whisper...I recently came out of a bad 2yr relationship with my ex girlfriend and now I'm single, getting healthy, hitting the gym for the police academy, and getting back to church with the help of my family and God

    2. It does seem that this is a demonic dream trying to bring fear and anxiety into your life. If you are single, and if you know the girl in the second picture, this definitely isn't a sign that that particular girl should be your girlfriend but an attempt to confuse you (it might be or not, but don't let this dream affect you). You should never believe a demonically produced dream but approach all decisions prayerfully. So, you should ignore all elements of this dream, as you can't believe anything the father of lies tells you. (If it is a girl you know and like, the dream is not a sign that she isn't meant for you either - the key is to ignore everything in this dream - one of the issues linked to this kind of dream is that if you don't know the girl in the picture at all, you might begin to look for her subconsciously and miss the right person because she doesn't look like her, as these kinds of dreams can have a certain power). So, you should take this dream in prayer and reject all elements - God has a path for you which the devil can't destroy, if you walk with God.

    4. Perhaps you are the first one to judge yourself; perhaps rather than letting issues such as low level of confidence stop you, you should trust in what God says about you: that you are fearfully and wonderfully made. Begin to speak God's promises over your life and believe them in your heart; don't believe your own testimony about yourself or anyone else, but believe God's testimony about yourself.

    5. I am always dreaming of my ex, the one time he was laying naked and a woman who seemed to be someone he was seeing after we separated walked away and he didn't seem to care, then I had a dream I went with my ex to the doctor to check if I was pregnant, I left him in the waiting room but seems I was with another guy, thank God I was not pregnant, then just yesterday I dreamt I was with him in what seemed to be a holiday home, the same woman in the first dream came and seemed to have a necklace that looked like earrings I had picked in the house, she seemed to be OK with me being there, I then left and when I got to the other side 2 men were waiting for me, they seemed happy and gave me a white dress, I then decided to go back to where I was coming from then a lady walked past me, but looked disappointed, and when u looked again the dress I was wearing turned black, and a while ago I also dreamt I went to my exs house and he would not open the door, later he opened and the same woman was there, my ex completely ignored me. Could this be a message from God that I should know about

    6. I don't think so. This looks more like your subconscious processing unresolved issues in the past relationship.

      Delete
    3. It seems that these are warning dreams, but they don't necessarily mean that these events would be immediate as the end times visuals are probably symbolic - the judgment day will come to us all the moment we die. The best thing to do is to pray for the people you have recognised in the dream, especially if they are not Christians, that they would accept and follow Christ.

  4. I have been attending a church for 6 months. I am torn as to stay or leave. The wife of the Pastor is a prophetess . I had a dream that I was in service and the praise team was trying to get me to sing with them. I didn't want to go but I finally went. It also was a man walked in and cane to the choir stand to sing. A lady from my previous chuch walked in the door and accuses the Pastor of shooting the man that joined the praise team. The pastor myself the first lady and the lady from my old church went in a room and it was dimly lit. The Pastor did admit to shooting the man and then he tried to kill the lady from my previous church. The lady was asking the first lady of the church did she earn $9 on her job. I wind up back in the sanctuary saying I knew it I knew something was not right in this church, Lord forgive me I will stop doubting myself and I knew I knew. Where did this dream come from?

    1. It is hard to say conclusively whether it is the gift of discerning spirits or your subconscious that has generated this dream, but if there are clear signs of manipulation and over-control in the way the church is being led and in preaching, I would take this as a warning dream. If the church is run in a healthy way then I would disregard the dream. But if this is a warning dream, you would see clear signs of the pastor trying to control the church through his preaching beyond the authority God has given to him in the Bible. Also, you might see signs of the prophetess abusing her authority by attempting to affect the decision-making of the congregation members in an unbiblical way. Like I said, if none of that is happening, you can disregard the dream. But if you see it happening a lot, then it might be a good time to look for another church.

  8. Hi, about two weeks ago I dreamt I had HIV and my Partner does not. He works away from home a lot and I stay at home with my two children , I am never unfaithful so in my dream I couldn't understand how I could have it, And he did not? Then I had a flashback in my dream of a cut in my palm and woke up at 2:25 am and could not go back to sleep. It bothered me very much. I tried to tell him about my dream because he is at home with me at the moment. But he has not wanted to hear about it. The strangest thing happened three days ago I found out that my new live in nanny who has been with us for only a month is infected with HIV. She had not disclosed this to me when she started working here. She had asked to go to the Clinic on Monday, so I told her no problem n asked her if it was a contraceptive injection she said yes n treatment. I immediately asked her if it was for HIV and that is when she told me. She had no intention of telling me. I had the dream weeks before I found out, it was so Vivid that it felt so real and bothered me so much that I tried to tell my partner so many times but he just refused to hear because he does not care if something bothers me especially a dream. He does not pray that or acknowledge God in anyway either... he calls these things superstitious. I pray daily read up verses in the Bible whenever I'm confused about something. I believe in God and trust him. Now that I found out about t the nannys status that dream which has been bothering me ever since that night I had it, bothers me more if it was a message from God.

    2. It seems like a warning dream. Rather interestingly, the cut was in the palm of your hand. Revelation 1:17-20 uses similar symbolism. In that text, seven stars that are in Jesus' right hand represent seven angels, which means that they are his servants and obey His command. In a similar way, your palm that is bleeding means that someone who is serving you is bleeding. This is clearly a message from God. First of all, He is warning you of an danger of HIV around your house, which has given you the wisdom to ask the right question. He is pointing you to the right direction. But secondly, He is reminding you that your nanny's problems is as if you were bleeding yourself, which means that you should deal with her in a kind way. It is difficult to mention having HIV, as that would probably stop most employers giving the job to someone, especially, as it involves dealing with our children, who we have been called to protect.

  9. I had a dream around 6,7 weeks ago.I remember every detail in it.2 of my friends were in the dream.It centred around 2 pieces of land in a foreign country.I prayed asking the Holy Spirit for confirmation that it was from God.The same thing happened again,but it was a different place but in the same foreign country.I Don't want to give too much away as I don't want to influence any answers.Can you enlighten me or give me some guidance please.If I know for sure that it is from God,then I will be obedient to Him and do as He requires of me.

    1. This kind of dream usually means that at least part of your calling is to minister in one way or other in that land. This might not mean automatically that you would even visit the land, as God has many imaginative ways to make an impact. But the fact that you have been shown 2 pieces of land twice but in different parts of that nation means that that ministry impact is not necessarily fixed in one location, but that whatever you will be called to do will have an impact in different parts of that nation. So, He is showing you a land and calling you to possess it. The practical steps might not be in the dream, but they will come to you gradually, as you will continue to seek the Lord.

  10. Marko,thank you for your reply.I think you are spot on.My wife and I have a husband and wife team who went to France as missionaries 3 years ago.The wife speaks fluent French.The 1st time my wife and I went over to visit our friends,we were taken to a Bible study.I believe the Holy Spirit used me to speak out a prophecy.All 4 of us are now seeing that prophecy becoming reality.My wife and I have been over 3 more times.The last time being March 2018.We experienced 3 healings in the 6 days we were there.I had the dream late last year but have not said anything to my wife yet as I believe God will give her the same or a similar dream as confirmation.I believe our calling is in the village where our friends are.I accidentally, I am an ordained Elder.

    1. It seems God wants you to do more. Also, based on the two lands, and two more lands, and the number of couples involved, this would mean either the expansion into a new area or increase in the number of teams. I am sure God will give you wisdom regarding that.

    1. These women represent two kinds of thoughts - you need to seek the Lord to hear and discern the voice of the Lord, and when you hear the thoughts given by His voice, you need to receive them by faith. But then there are other kinds of thoughts around - they are noisier and they might initially look more attractive, but their advice is ungodly and not from the Lord, and they are of demonic origin, as they mock the voice of faith and obedience to the Lord.

    4. They do symbolise demonic spirits but you see their operation through the thoughts of demonic origin that flash through your mind. That's the main way these spirits are attacking your life.

    1. Usually these kinds of dreams aren't warnings about an actual massacre but reactions to a negative, demonically influenced spiritual environment. Basically, there are demonic influences around you, which you are probably able to resist by faith and the Spirit of God daytime, but they still affect your emotional life, and subconscious, which produces the dreams that are a warning system. You should think about areas or places in your life where you feel a sense of restlessness. It is likely that those demonic influences are in those areas.

  14. I met someone I liked 6 years ago and started dreaming about them shortly after we met. I did not take them seriously at first. I dreamed often and I have even dreamed before about guys I was interested. I was sure those dreams were from the Lord, because I eventually understood that God was warning me. Showing me things about that person that I needed to know which confirmed that I should no longer pursue them. However, they never lasted more than a couple weeks. With this guy I continued to dream about him for months while we worked together. Some of them gave me a not so good feeling and that’s when I started writing them down. It wasn’t a scary feeling, just a “pay attention” feeling. We never ended up dating. The way he rejected me really hurt. Even long after I quit the dreams continued. About two years after meeting him, the initial dreams I had and the odd feeling I got made sense. The rejection from him made sense. I thought for sure the dreams would stop. He and I were no longer friends, but he continued to appear in my dreams for a total of 5yrs. I spent some time in prayer and came across a Christian man who asked to looked at a few of the dreams. I continued to write them down. He interpreted a few of them based on some recurring symbolism. I was happy to receive the interpretations, but I have been asking God to confirm what was said and still no answer. I do not want to be led into confusion. This man is the first person who felt they got a word from God about why the dreams continued. I think this man genuinely did seek the Lord in his interpretations, but we’re still human and he could have been wrong. I am hoping the Lord will give me another clear answer. Please pray for me.

    2. Usually, people who have left your life reoccur in your dreams when the dreams are negative for a few reasons. No 1: these people have demonic influences in their lives, even when they themselves are not aware of these influences, and the dreams warn about these gateways of demonic into your life, as they are still operational. No 2: They had a significant negative impact on your emotional life. No 3: You still have objects they have given to you in your possession. If the connection that they have with you is demonic, you need to pray that God will break the power of that influence in your life. If it is merely emotional, you will need to ask God to bring healing into your soul in relation to that person, and often to forgive that person, so that your hurt won't hold onto the memory of that person.

  15. Good day Marko, I hope you can give me some insight on a dream I had about 1 or 2 years ago.

    I dreamt that my mom was in the kitchen doing dishes and an evil spirit was trying to physically attack her. It even manifested itself in objects like a stuff doll and at other times it pushed over items. I also remember seeing it in the form of a woman. The thing is I was the only person able to see it, as my mom was feeling the attacks but couldn't see what I was seeing. I would try to fight this spirit whenever it was in a form for me to do so but it was very persistent at attacking her and not me. I remember feeling overwhelmed and crying because all my efforts seemed pointless. I was trying to help my mother but I felt like I was watching this thing try to kill her. I do remember trying to pray and called on Jesus,which weakened the spirit but angered it more so the attacks got more violent. I don't remember how the dream ended but I think my son woke me out of my sleep because he heard me crying. Even when I woke up I was still crying because it felt so real and as grown as I am; over 30 I was really shaken.

    1. It does seem that you might have the gift of discerning spirits, and that it has manifested through a dream. The gift of discerning spirits is rather uncommon, although many Christians have some level of discernment. Also, it seems that you mother must have been under attack at least when you saw the dream, although it is also possible that the dream was warning about a future spiritual attack, or explaining a previous season in her life. If I saw this kind of dream, I would probably ask the person in the dream whether they feel challenged in any area, as often people misdiagnose the reason and they don't understand that they are under spiritual attack. Often just mentioning to the person in question that they are under spiritual attack can bring spiritual freedom to that person. Sometimes, praying to Jesus is not enough, as you saw in the dream. You have to confront the spiritual being in question with the power of the Holy Spirit and simply command them to leave, although, often these kinds of attacks can be repeated, and you must be persistent in providing the prayer shield. It is difficult to say what could have caused a persistent spiritual attack, but often people are attacked spiritually because there are people in their lives who have a level of involvement in the occult, either knowingly or unknowingly. This can happen even when you are reaching out to people who don't follow Jesus. Your motivation can be godly, but your love for your neighbour exposes you to the demonic forces operating in their lives. I have covered this area quite extensively in my book 'Supernatural Love: Releasing the Compassion of Jesus Through the Gifts of the Spirit', which is available on Amazon and most other online bookstores. I do also feel that there might be some things that you might want to tell about the situation that might not be appropriate to be mentioned here. If so, you can email me on marko@markojoensuu.com, and I can give you a more detailed answer. But as I said, you probably have the gift of discerning spirits, and it is important that you begin to understand how it works, as otherwise it can bring you depression, fear and many other negative emotions.

  16. I have been having intense nightmares, but last night it had colors specifically white. I was with my mother, we went to church and everyone was dressed in white, so was I. Mother and I are the only Christians in the family. Upon entering the church I began to manifest something evil within me. I was led to sit in a chair up in the pulpit alone, and everyone was facing me. The grandchild of my sister, a six year old girl, picked up a telephone that was on a table near me. I woke up. I then asked God in my mind if I had been delivered.

    1. Sorry for taking this long to reply. For some reason I just saw this for the first time today. This is clearly a demonic dream and a result of some demonic activity in your environment. The nightmares and their content are a clear indication of that. Has there been any change in the situation with the nightmares?

  18. Sir I have this dream, a distant friend of mine came to my house then I hugged him tight and let him go inside my house. The scene changed- I am carrying him, helping him to stand while he vomits a lot on the floor and even some went to my left foot. im tapping his back to give him comfort and support.The scene changed and he is standing in front but weak and thin, he wears a lonely smile, he wants to leave but i urge him to stay because I want to help him recover, he tried to stay for a while but when I turned around he’s with my brother and mother in a car and they took him and delivered him far away from me like a car leaving from the house. I feel so much empathy, sympathy for him and im sad.
    does this dremam has a meaning? im always reminded of this dream

  19. I had a dream 6 months ago that I was in the countryside on some sort of rather large horse drawn carriage. To my right was a large hill.I was taken by a large Cathedral at the top and some other beautiful trees and buildings. When all of a sudden I get the urge to get down and started climbing this very steep hill rather efforessly. I then noticed a wire fence to my left and thinking I might get crushed if the horse drawn carriage was following me up the hill. Just then I turned to see 2 of the horses bad been unbridled from the carriage and were running up the hill to my right. I was in awe of their beauty and strength and kept climbing the hill, now with no fear. I know this dream was from God and have had another hill dream few years back that I believe was from God getting me ready for a ministry assignment for that time. Do you have any ideas about the meaning?

    1. It seems that you will be able to take only part of your current ministry & gifts into the new situation (the two horses) & that the new ministry assignment demands more freedom both for you & in you. Your freedom is represented by you leaving the carriage & the freedom of God in you is represented by the two horses that are running uncontrolled - but towards the same direction than you desire to go. One question - how is the wire fence positioned in relation to the cathedral? If the carriage keeps on advancing with other horses (how many horses were there to pull the carriage, it might be that your ministry in the current situation is still continuing. If the carriage stops, then the current ministry situation will be over altogether. But if the carriage advances, then you will have to divide you gifts between two situations/assignments.

    2. Thank you for your reply Mark. Actually I feel that the carriage had stopped completely in my dream. The fence was perhaps 7 feet to my left as I advanced up the hill. I am not sure where the cathedral is because I passed it some time back as the carriage continued down the road and then, perhaps 1/8 mile later I decided to get off and started up the hill. In real life I have been involved in many facets of ministry, but only 1 paid position, as a children's pastor which I had to leave 2 years ago when my husband lost his job and we moved.

  20. I've had dreams too latley that felt real. I was talking to a guy in March ened in May he wanted a changed lifestyle and wanted to get closer to God I invited him to church he came. He was starting to like me but also said how diffrent I was from other females. He cried to me onetime saying I'm too good for him and how he didn't deserve me. And onetime he told me he wasn't ready to be saved because he wants to give Jesus his all. We're no longer talking at the moment. But I've been praying for him to find Jesus. To get saved. (I was hurt when we did stop talking) anyway about my dreams one dream was he came back to me crying and apolgizing to me on how he was acting with me. Another dream was we was talking about everything and we started to work it out and people got mad at me me and him went to the store I had left what I had brought at the store to me it represents (Leaving the past behind) and in my spirit I would hear (God is working on him) on the guy. (don't stop praying)

  22. Hi In my dream I heard a voice that told me I should stop doing what I'm doing or else my family members will be terribly punished...5 years ago I made a promise to God that I will not have sex again till I get married. I have a girl that I have been dating for like 3 months now. We agreed that we will not have sex and we have not had sex, but we do kiss (French kissing) we have also had oral sex but I never penetrated her. I asked God to forgive me for the oral sex, but he should permit us to kiss only kissing. Then the night before the dream I spoke with my girlfriend and she pleaded with me to kiss her when next we see, then I had that dream.....please help me

  23. I had two dreams that still bothers me but came several times.

    The first one, My father is shown to me as someone who has sinned and is taken to court for judgement. At that moment i was just feeling bad because i had thought i am the reason behind it since he is an abusive man. He seemed so delighted and very sure that he will win the case but at the same time i could see he was pretending as i saw his heartbroken face in that delightment.later that day as he was about to be judged, a sound from nowhere that felt like people who broke into court, was heard. That sound sounded like a gun shot and aftee that people screamed and my father fell down . I looked at him with great pity and was amazed that the man people fear had no strength anymore and he is dying. After falling down i cried thinking that maybe he had died but he opened his eyes in a slow motion and the dream anded.

    The next days i dreamt of myself. My father was beating my mom like he usually do and i ran to him to stop him but he wanted to fight me then i took a thick stick and hit him on the back of his neck and he fell down. He then later rose and irrespective of how my mother was hurt she stood by his side and they both decided to chase me out of their house. Everyone in my family looked at me with bitterness and my siblings couldnt wait for me to leave then i left and tried to find a place to stay but my parents came and made sure i was kicked out then the dream ended.

    The second dream is about my boyfriend. I wont really go into detail but i had dreamt more than 6 times when he is cheating on me with the people closest to me and most of them offered what i couldnt offer before marriage which is sex so that they could snatch him away.

  25. Good morning! I have been trying to figure out this dream I had a couple years ago. It was very odd.. I had the dream after being invited to church for the first time by a guy I went to school with... I was visiting some cousins in the dream, and we were just leaving their house. I was with my mom, and we walked outside past the bushes where the woods are located towards our car. The bushes rustled and I had this immediate sharp shooting fear run through my entire body. Something that looked like a mix between a Hellhound and a space/extraterrestrial Dog jumped out and tried to attack my mom. I instinctively jumped in front of my mom And when I did, the dog turned its head and looked directly at me, and when he did i froze with fear..couldnt move, paralyzed..The Dog Hellhound creature was mad i saved my mom and bolted to the woods, but the look he gave me I will NEVER forget.. He was like a blackish color, and had a supernatural glow/ look about him. What was weird was when I woke up, I was terrified, and I had no idea why? The other thing was in my dream I felt like he was targeting my mom? And he wasnt happy I interfered. It felt so Painfully real!! When I woke I was covered in sweat and felt like something bad was going to happen... Any ideas as to what could be going on? Thanks for your time!

    1. This kind of dream is usually brought up by the gift of discerning spirits. In essence, your subconscious becomes aware of something going on in your spiritual environment - in this case, a demonic attack against your mom, and the subconscious makes it aware to your conscious self through a dream. Usually, with a mature gift of discerning spirits, it is possible to discern the demonic attack consciously. The fear you felt is a mixture of being influenced by the demonic presence in your environment (the attack against your mum) and what this does to your imagination. So, the demonic presence is what triggers the dream, but the dream is the visualisation of this demonic presence through your subconscious and not an accurate rendering of what is going on - although it is accurate in a sense that you know who is being attacked & sometimes the nature of the attack. So, there is nothing to fear but it is always advisable to pray for the people you see in this kind of dreams for their protection.

    1. It seems that the Lord might want to restore and renew the marriage of the pastor and her husband - you conducting the service means that you should be praying for their marriage until you see that restoration take place.

  27. In my dream, I remember going to Arby's for a bread & cheese (grilled cheese) sandwich but they delayed in serving me the sandwich and so I went back to the cashier in a gentle demeanor to ask why my sandwich had delayed. The cashier told me to speak to the manager & owner of the restaurant who was ready to speak to me. The owner apologized for the delay and said she had prepared another meal for me, & she gave me a pasta with cream salad & in it were some purple grapes which I enjoyed so much & she asked for the sandwich & some other things to be given for free. That also delayed & then finally I decided to leave the restaurant; as I walked out of the restaurant, to my left was a white lady who asked to be told what the owner told me. After sharing my encounter with her, she said what the owner said wasn't true but I didn't believe her words & with a smirk I walked away from the restaurant. A few meters away from the restaurant was an older lady with white hair standing in a gazebo and was wearing an outfit with a purple cape & cream color for the rest of her outfit. She stepped out of the gazebo and asked me to tell her about what happened in the restaurant. We walked for a few steps and I told her everything, and also about the pasta salad and specified on the purple grapes which was exactly like the color of her cape. She then apologized & told me "Henceforth, we will be giving you lots of food at all times in topmost restaurants for the rest of your life."

    1. The restaurant represents the church. You feel you haven't been served the Word of God regularly in the place where you worship, but intermittently the owner of the restaurant has prepared a special meal for you. But it seems the church is not in full control of the owner, and that is why the regular meals come with delay. But the grape and the older lady with the purple cape represent the fruit of the Spirit. If you allow the fruit of the Spirit grow in your life, you will be able to dine wherever you go, as it will give you the ability receive from God in all situations. So, the church situation might not be ideal, but with the help of the fruit of the Spirit, you will be able to grow in faith for the rest of your life.

  29. I have a lot of dreams that I feel like they are from the Lord.... about two ago, I dreamed my mom (78 years old ) was pregnant and she was having trouble delivering the baby, so I went to help her... I was also pregnant ( I’m 51 years old) ... then a few nights later, I dreamed we was walking inHeaven my mom was talking to her mother ( she has passed about 45 years ago) and I was talking to my brother ( he passed 5 years ago). My grandma was asking us where we want our house built, my mother said by the waterfall.... then last night, I dreamed I was pregnant and in labor and my mom was in the same hospital ( I don’t know what for) but I said I needed to go see her, to be with her, and I was very much in labor..... these three dreams have all been in the last 2 weeks..... do you know what they could mean?

    1. The part of you walking with your grandma and brother is for your comfort, as God wants you to know they are safe with Him. Pregnancy of both you and your mum is linked to the unfinished spiritual fruit that your life is yet to produce & and this labour of pregnancy will not just bear fruit in this life but it will also build your mansion in eternity.

  33. These dreams seem to be the product of your subconscious reacting to a demonic environment. So, you are under a demonic attack but not necessarily the way described in the dreams. I wonder if there are any elements of witchcraft/occult in your environment. These might not be items/people directly linked to the occult but linked to other religions, as usually, continual dreams like these are linked to continual presence of demonic strongholds.

    3. This dreaming is most likely linked to a dormant gift of discerning spirits in you. Basically, through the dormant gift of discerning spirits your subconscious is vaguely aware of a negative spiritual environment, and this manifests itself in your dreams. But the dreams themselves are not in this case an accurate representation of your threats, but more like a warning signal about something being wrong. Basically, the negative spiritual atmosphere is picking your subconscious fears and visualising them. This negative spiritual environment might not be your house but it could even be your city as a whole. So, the negative spiritual environment is real but not its visual manifestation in your dreams. The only way to deal with this is to begin to "increase" the presence of God in your life through reading the Bible and prayer. Sometimes, this can take significant time and effort. Here is a link to an audio teaching I did on developing the gift of discerning spirits. It might be helpful. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jVT6jasjbb4

  34. Hi Marko, I've had a lot of dreams and would love to get a better understanding of them. My husband and children recently moved to another country but before we moved I had been having series of bad dreams about it but my husband persisted. When we got there I became sick, depressed and suicidal. Our families asked me to come back home. He refused to return home and stayed back. Ever since I came home I've had these dreams. Please let me know if understand them
    I saw myself walking through a street and got to a doorway. There is a lady there and she asks me why I am wearing my husband's shoes but holding my own shoes in my hand. I told her my husband's shoe are more comfortable because mine has heels. She then takes a picture of my beadutiful red shoes and opens a door for me. When I walk through the door I enter the most beautiful garden ever. The flowers are alive and moving and the sky matches the colour of the flowers.
    I was driving a new car playing music and the air conditioner was on and suddenly my husband calls me that the car is out of fuel. I looked at the fuel tank and it was blinking empty so I turned off the air conditioner and began to panic because I was out of fuel and I was in a place I didn't know anyone.
    I had another dream where I was looking at my hands and they were calloused while my finger nails were falling off. I was now saying I've been here two years and look at my hands. A lady nearby came to me and said it is normal here. Everyone has rough hands showing me here.
    My husband told me he recently had this dream in the country he moved to. He got a bus ticket and a lot of people were boarding the bus. There were some immigration officers or soldiers checking the tickets. When it got to his turn, they took his ticket and sent him to a room that he is not supposed to board that bus.
    When my husband woke up, he prayed to cancel the dream. Immediately he slept he had another dream where he was driving a car with me and the children travelling with him. As he was driving on the road he looked ahead and was told there is no road ahead. He was very angry that why would that be.

    1. It seems that the Holy Spirit is speaking to you both gently about your separation from each other. The first dream is about you trying to wear your husband's shoes (set his direction) rather than wearing the beautiful shoes God has meant for you. But wearing those beautiful shoes (symbolised by their image) will open the door to a beautiful garden you have never really experienced. But you can only wear them if you let your husband wear his shoes. Also, wearing his shoes means that he has no shoes at all. The second dream about the new car is about the direction you have set without him - it is running out of fuel. The third dream is about where your set direction will take you. There is no one with soft hands in the direction you have set nor will there ever be. The same thing is happening to your husband. He is trying to get somewhere but is frustrated through the 'arrest'. What should be straightforward like getting on a bus, is not possible, because God is not blessing it. In his second dream, he is trying to lead the family in one direction, but that dream leads nowhere. Basically, all these dreams you have both seen tell that the strategy of separation you have chosen as a couple is not working and won't be blessed by God. The only way forward is to find a way to be together with a family. This will demand some humbling from both of you. But that is the only way to a blessing.

  35. I recently had a dream that I was at a lake home (didn't currently own one) and my old Pastor (whom was a great mentor and teacher of God) and wife came in and brought a meal with them to serve us. The meal they brought was chicken and a whole unsliced loaf of bread with something else. When my Pastor came in he had to duck down to not hit his head in the low door frame. I told him that my Grandfather (whom I don't remember) had to do the same. After dinner I looked out and my husband was swimming close to the house and my Pastor was in the distance floating on a raft type chair. When I stepped on the balcony I saw that the water was very clear and close to the home. As my husband was treading water a white horse came swimming up to him. He put his arms around the horse and the horse stayed by him. Then my husband looked up at me and asked me if I was seeing what was happening. I reached for my camera and the dream ended. This dream occurred while we were seeking God and my husband was actually on a job interview in a texas city. He has now gotten the job and we also have a contract on a lake home, not because of this dream and completely unexpected. But this dream seemed like it was a spiritual dream from God with much symbolism. I wrote it all down and have desired for clarity ever since waking from it. I have not any idea what the white horse represents, or the bread or Pastor's presence. I have had several dreams with horses that are clearly God dreams. I wrote another one to you a few months back but don't believe you have seen it. I really don't want to miss a message God has sent me so anything that you sense from God to tell me is greatly appreciated. Blessings to you!

    1. I happened to see the previous post yesterday and have responded to it. The lake house gives you the timing. The meal represents fellowship, which means that you should keep in touch with your previous church, as God has not yet finished the work that He wants to achieve through that relationship. Perhaps the best way is to follow the dream and invite people from your old community to the lake house. The white horse coming to your husband represents new gifts/ministry that God wants to give to your husband. It will come as he stays in the lake of God's presence. When it comes, God wants you to acknowledge and support it. (This might be because the new ministry/gift might not automatically be seen as a gift from God. But in this instance, the white horse swims to your husband rather than him swimming to the white horse, so this is something that will come to him rather than him seeking it.)

    1. this dream was followed by another dream---
      A man with white t-shirt is kneeling on the floor inside a big empty building, hes so tired and exhausted, suddenly the door opened and a green hideous creature with a broken right wing came inside in a little kind of hesitation, but the man let him come near him and helped the creature cause hes bleeding, the creature seem to recover and not so weak any more and acted grateful to the man while heading towards the door to exit. but before the creature approched the door to get out, it fell down and died, when i look at the left side of the man, there is a severed head that looks identically the same as the creature that died on the mans right side which is complete body., do this dreams have the same meaning?

      Delete
    2. They are clearly linked. As you haven't seen your friend since seeing the dream, it seems to me that God is inviting you into a deeper intercessory ministry for people, and that this prayer has the power to set people free. With the car taking your friend away, it means that this doesn't necessarily lead to a pastoral relationship where you are expected to look after them long-term, but to minister deliverance that sets them free from the work of the enemy in their lives. This must be linked to the use of the gift of discerning spirits (in the 2nd dream the man doesn't understand the hideous nature of the creature but you do), so God has either already given you or wants to give you the gift of discerning spirits.

      Here is a link to an audio message I spoke on the topic of developing this gift - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jVT6jasjbb4

    I have never had of his name but he was talking to me about north east African countries he has visited and his plans to visit West African countries. He talked about USD18000.i left the dream and as i was on bed,i slept and another one came in when someone was trying to call my phone with a strange number, when i picked, the battery fell off fom the phone and i didn't want to call back.
    In the same dream my ancle called me and asked me why i don't want to talk to.. . Name. .. Different from the one i got earlier but still a new name .He told me this person is from USA, i got excited and danced, i mentioned then that i am going to call him straight away

    1. I have had similar dreams before. If it is from God, then you will come across these persons in near future. I once had a dream with a name and a face. I didn't know either, but I googled them. The face belonged to the name. The dream was a warning to stay away from the teachings of that person, as God brought a separation between us. I only came across him many years later, but the dream came me discernment on how to relate to him. The best thing to do with these kinds of dreams is to write them down including the names. If you come across these people, it is still advisable to pray over the situation before doing anything. At that time, God will give you the wisdom when you pray. Another clue in the second dream is your uncle. If he is a godly person, then you should probably follow his advice. If he is not, then the advice is bad advice. If the dream is just a normal product of your subconscious, you will probably forget it quite quickly. The worst scenario is that the dream could be demonic, in which case you might meet these people but they will lead you astray. I'm sorry I can't be any clearer. But the best thing to do is to take the dream to God in prayer, and as Him to bring you clarity on if the dream is from Him.

    Before these dreams I also dreamt about seeing planets floating across the sky n several months ago I had this dream about angels flying across the sky ,then formed a circle and afar off I could see a writing, saying ,MY PEOPLE ARE FAR FROM ME I WILL BE COMING SOON ,I WILL BE COMING ON THE ,but I couldn't recognize the date I dont understand any of these ,my ex broke up with me 3months ago

  39. I would think that the first dream about your ex is a product of your subconscious rather than a God-given dream. It takes a lot of time to recover from these kinds of breakups. The second one is harder to explain - it could be that the Lord is reminding you about what is important in life.

  41. Hi Marko,
    Over the last year and a half, I have had a total of 12 dreams concerning natural disasters and the rapture of the church. In two of the dreams, the Lord actually spoke, even though I did not see his face. I heard clearly, "Twinkle of an eye" in one dream. In the second dream I heard, " I am coming to separate My sheep from the goats." The dreams seem to be from God. Do you have any recommendations for me to understand the gifting and interpretations of these dreams? Thank you

    1. It does seem that the Lord is beginning to speak to the Church about His return. These dreams don't mean that it is all happening immediately, but about Him preparing His Church for end time ministry. I am not trying to sell anything, but my book "Five Movements: Winning the Battle for Your Prophetic Gift" covers the development of the prophetic gift, including dreams and visions as part of the overall development of the gift.

    1. The verse says: "But when she could hide him no longer, she got a papyrus basket for him and coated it with tar and pitch. Then she placed the child in it and put it among the reeds along the bank of the Nile." If that is the only verse & thing you remember, it probably means that God is speaking into an impossible-looking situation in your life, perhaps an issue that you have been looking for a solution in vain, and He is asking to give that situation fully in His hands, like Moses' mother did, and He will give the solution. When she put Moses in the basket, she made sure that the basket would float and then followed its journey. It was a prayer of desperation, putting her dearest thing in God's hands, because she had run out of solutions.

  47. Hi Marko.
    I am a 21 year old lady, who loves God wholeheartedly and hopes for a partner that won't think I'm crazy when I sometimes cry just for singing praises and worshiping God because that's what I do, I'm a worshiper.
    Before I explain my dream may I get a few thing out of the way.
    A prophet at a church I am a member of once told me that I have a calling but there's something God wants me to fix on my life and I immediately knew that it was my sexuality.
    Our senior pastor is a marriage counselor by profession and most of the time when he preaches about marriage he also tells us the importance of being pure and abstaining.
    To cut things short, I knew that God wants me to repent and lead a pure life which I wasn't doing at that time.
    So I prayed about it, asked God to help me abstain so that I can be pure for Him and save myself for marriage. I'm currently in a relationship with a guy who believes in God but he's not as spiritual.
    So....I happen to have a crush, he's a Gospel Singer but I see him beyong just being a singer. He's the most humble and caring guy I've ever seen.
    I once talked (prayed) to God about him. A few months down the line, which was the night before last night I had a very nice dream that I didn't want to wake up from. Here it goes.
    I had a dream that my crush, myself, my younger sister and my grandma were at my dearest grandma's house (a place all our sibling refer to as home, because it is home but the kind of home where we're all a peace when we're there).
    It was in the morning and my grandma Said to me "Go and wake Mdu (that's his name) up he's going to be late. I ran to the room he was sleeping in and woke him up (We weren't married YET so we weren't sharing a room). After he had finished bathing, I walked him out to go catch a taxi. On our way he said to me, "I spent the whole week here, I hope we'll keep in touch." And I just smiled. While we were walking his cellphone rang,he answered then he sat on a small wall near by and I was standing up, right in front of him and hugged him so that he rests him head on my chest while speaking on the phone and I was caressing his head (that gave me soooo much pleasure). At the back of us, I noticed my younger sister was following us. After he was done with the phone call, he stood up then we continued walking. And then....I woke up :-(

    1. Sorry - I have been travelling off the grid and just now returned home. It seems to me that this dream is a product of your subconscious/conscious affection for and attraction to this person because of his apparent godliness. This doesn't mean that he isn't/is the right person for you. But this dream on its own doesn't give any guidance for that.

  49. I had a dream where i saw a field full if ripe pineapples. I picked One though it was not fully ripe. In the same dream i was in a room full of candies some in closed containers while others were in paper bags. In the same dream i saw myself Drive and park then joined my x partner who was in a job interview. It seemed the person interviewing him was pleased with his answers. About a week ago i had seen three chameleons in my dreams. I also had a dream previously like 3 days ago where i saw myself dropping a former boyfriend with my car. I need some explaining pls

    ReplyDelete
  50. The unripe pineapple refers to enjoying something prematurely, before it is ready for consumption. The three chameleons in your dream refer to three things in your life that aren't what they seem. In relation to ex-partners, they probably refer to bad relationships. I don't know anything about your personal history, but it is possible that the job interview with your ex refers to the aspect of your life you found attractive - the person interviewing him is probably you. Dropping the former boyfriend off the car refers to him not being part of your life anymore. I am not sure if there is a message from God in it as such, or if this is all part of your subconscious processing difficult issues: after all, most dreams are product of our subconscious. In any case these dreams give a window into what you are probably subconsciously if not consciously thinking about.

    2. Ripe fruits can mean blessings that are ready to be enjoyed, but if I got your dream, you picked a pineapple that only seemed ripe but wasn't. Unripe fruit can taste bitter.

  51. Would you be able to help with this dream I had yesterday? My wife and I were in a huge forest but this forest was fully covered in snow. Then in the 3rd person I see this women who I don't know dropping something by mistake next to a huge tree in the forest. The forest starts burning, I tell my wife we need to get our things and leave. Now I had my car in the dream but we decided to walk to the next city. We stop at a dinner, while I'm eating I spot a married couple that we are friends of ours. They had a couple with them as well. I tell our friends of the fire, the storm that's coming and they acknowledge it but they don't panic or seem like they care as much. They offer us a ride but we decline. The man that I don't know that was with them from other couple started to argue with me saying, not to worry that the fire, storm isn't a big deal. While we were argue I look down, the dinner started to flood with water mixed with blood. I look down, tell them that I told them it was coming and that we had to go. On the way out I forgot my backpack, went to get it and it was gone. My brother and some more friends were at the door. I thought my brother was playing games told him to give my backpack back. He said, he never took it then I started getting aggressive (which I'm a loving person btw)choking him telling him I needed it because of the fire, storm that was coming. Then my wife comes, tells me she found it, then I woke up. I know that something's are hard to interpret since you know nothing about our lives but I'm wondering if the snowy forest burning, storm, the water with blood has any biblical meanings or meaning at all. I did pray and ask God for direction. Thank you.

    1. Most dreams are products of our subconscious, as we process and resolve any unresolved issues, anxieties and fears by visualising them through dreams. The good thing is that in this dream your wife brought the backpack, so subconsciously, you might already discovered the solution to the problem, and your wife's help is an integral part of the solution. I don't think this is a God-given dream as such but nevertheless it might be useful in analysing your hidden fears and possible tensions in relationships.

    1. The first thing to ask is if you are certain that this dream is from God. If you believe it is, the only thing I can think about is to ask if these numbers have any specific meaning in your life.

  54. Dream 1: almost 7 months ago, I dreamed about my supervisor and her son being in a bedroom with the door closed, and something was wrong because someone tried to commit suocide or someone did. Fast forward to now, my supervisor missed work becUss her son tried to commit suicide.

    Dream 2: Someone shot everyone around me then started shooting at me but I ran. I tried to hide in a ditch and other places but they kept finding me and still shooting at me. I ran into a street where a pickup truck was and got in. My husband's girl cousin was driving, it was dirty and had no seatbelts and I inmediatel1y felt unsafe then something/someone told me to get out so I did. Same night, my husband dreams about a pickup truck accident and me driving in an armored car and wearing a bulletproof vest.

    1. Both of these dreams seem to be linked to a gift of discerning spirits. The first dream is identifying the operation of the enemy in the life of your boss. It is always good to be praying for the people you see in these kinds of dreams, as clearly this had a strong predictive element. The second one shows you that you are in the midst of spiritual war that affects your life in different ways, so it is alerting you to wear the armour of God Paul describes in Ephesians. This audio teaching on developing the gift of discerning spirits might be helpful. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jVT6jasjbb4

  56. Hi Mark. I had a dream where I was at work but then the office turned into a classroom at a school. We heard gunshots down the hall and everyone started to take cover. At first I couldn't find a good spot to hide. I grabbed my cell phone and found a better spot and then I called 911. As I was telling the dispatcher what was going on she told a coworker that they're starting to get a lot of calls about a school shooting. We could hear the gunshots getting closer and then the dispatcher put me on hold and then I woke up. To give you more information I have a child in school and ever since Sandy Hook I constantly worry about my child while their at school. Is this dream Gods way of trying to warn me of a future shooting?

  57. It doesn’t hurt to keep your daughter in prayer, but it may not be a prophetic dream. It could be your subconscious because you’ve been worried about it like you said. Ask God to relive you of worry so you can trust that he’s in control.

  58. I had a dream about my friend's husband. He dies. Unsure of death but possibly burned to death. I was with her trying to help comfort her. Then later, it seemed that a party/gathering was outside. People start running. I was trying to run but couldn't run fast enough and was attacked by 3 dogs that were with 3 policemen. One bit my left arm but then I ended up back with my friend.

  59. Hello there. I had a dream where I was in a hospital visiting a guy who was ill. I have never seen him before in real life. He was very beautuful, pale, and bald. He was semi-conscious and kissed me back when I kissed him. I felt this intense affection and love for him. There were some girls watching and paying us attention which annoyed me at first but didn't seem to be harmful after all. I really enjoyed this dream and wondering if it has to do with future events. What can you say about this?

    1. I had a similar dream some years ago - that dream concerned the sorry state of the Body of Christ in the West. I had grown very frustrated about working for the church and wanted to return to secular work. Through the dream God acknowledged that His body wasn't well, but He wanted to to ask me to love His body regardless. This dream broke my heart. I believe that your dream might be about something similar.

The event will happen and you will simply respond to it the way the dream shows you. If it's not from God then March 8 will pass uneventully.

    until in the last scene i am with him in an open sides(opened to the air) wide elevator going up while he looks with a very dear lovely smile on his face & saying something to me(didn't know what he said) while there is a sunrise before him, and under that elevator there is a huge western major city with skyscrapers.

    1. In the prophetic texts of the Old Testament it is common for the prophet to say that God is wailing for the nations, often because He is about to bring a destruction as judgment. He hates doing it.

      For example, Jeremiah 48:31 says: "Therefore I will wail for Moab, And I will cry out for all Moab; I will mourn for the men of Kir Heres."

      So, not to presume too much, but as we are slowly heading towards the End Times, perhaps God is already wailing for the judgments He will bring. In the Old Testament, this wailing could begin even hundreds of years before the actual event.

    1. To me, this looks like a mixture of dreams, some of which might be prophetic, others perhaps created by your subconscious. You will have to analyse one dream at a time to be able to decipher their meaning. Not every dream is a message from God but some are, and the first step of dream interpretation is to discern the source of the dream. For example, last night I saw three vivid dreams that seemed linked to future events, but when I woke up, I came to realisation that they might have been triggered by the conversation I had late at night with my wife. So, although the dreams seemed to predict future events, I am not sure at all that they were from God as a whole. But there is a possibility that two of them are, so I am keeping an open mind, as I will be meeting the person I saw in the dream in a few weeks' time.

    1. It does seem that these are probably God-given dreams. It is common for artistic people to suffer from negative feelings and lack of motivation, as they are sensitive, but also, you probably have spiritual sensitivity as well, which means that you are sensitive to your spiritual environment. You need to build your spiritual side to be able to resist the negative thoughts, so that your mind will have the freedom and joy to be creative.

    1. It is difficult to say much about this based on the information that you gave. But does your mum see visions regularly? If she does, do they come to pass? Or does she never see any visions at all? Is she a woman of prayer? Did she feel the presence of God when she saw these visions? There is definitely nothing ungodly about her visions at all, as even the Bible says that God hates divorce, so in principle, your prayer is godly.

  71. May you please help me. Back in 2016 I was in a relationship with my then boyfriend. I wasnt saved and he was. I started being involved with another guy emotionally behind my boyfriends back. onetime my bf came to tell me that he had had a vision of himself entering a gate of a.home which appeared to be his and two little boys ran to him and he took their hands leading them into the house but before they enterred the vision dissapeared and he told mme that it left him wondering who the mother of the kids is.I disregarded the dream because i was deep in adultery and cared little about my primary relationship. Then two weeks after he shared this vusion with me, i dreamt of myself in a house wiping dishes with two young boys. my boyfriend entered and the kids ran to him and i watched with a happy face as we all laughed together as a family. i then woke up and disregarded the dream. two months later my bf finds out about my deciet and we broke up much to my regret. I mourned him and turned my life to God ans focussed on myself. fast forward two years later in Nov. 2018 he texts me saying lets meet so we make peace. i had my hopes high and prayed to God about it. I had about 4 different dreams of myself in different places searching for my ex but couldnt locate him. i started having a feeling that he didnt want us back together which he metioned when we met up recently for the meeting. I must say i got devastated because i was still hanging on to that dream of us together as a family. Now im.not one who usually has random dreams, almost all the dreams i have become reality. He mentioned that he still loves me but he is not planning to enter any relationship because he got hurt deeply. im not sure if i should consider this a closed chapter or what. please help

    1. You looking for him for different places but not finding him means that at least subconsciously you fear that you won't be able to get back together. But the best thing to do is to give it 5-6 months to see if there is a chance of you getting back together at all. The way relationships work that should be an adequate time. If you don't get any closer during that time then you should consider it a closed chapter.

  73. Hi, Hope it's not too late to comment - I have only just come across your article! A few weeks ago I had a dream that I think might be of the future. In this dream I was in the city centre and the pastor of my church was filming me. He was there and one other person who I think I've talked to like once. I can't remember what I was saying exactly but I remember having a basket of some sort and I think we were handing out bible verses. I don't remember what everyone in the dream said exactly but I remember two of my words. - Saying "We're blessed (referring to being out on that particular day handing out those bible verses to random people).." and then my pastor finished filming. This is where the dream ended and then I woke up. I'm thinking it's most likely from God as I have this sense it is but I'm still apprehensive about it. It's stayed with me all these weeks when other recent dreams I have had related to people or events connected with my church have faded. I'm hoping you can give me some insight as I'm not entirely sure what this means?

    2. I know when I was a baby I was prayed over for the gift of prophecy by someone my parents knew. Over the years I've also had a lot of little images and words and things. Sometimes bible passages that stick out to me for a particular situation, a sense that he's saying something or certain little revelations that stick in mind. One time in my old church's youth group, when I was quite young I remember being given a word I'm sure was from God and was later read aloud at my old church by their now retired minister. Years ago at that sane church I know I used to pray in tongues as I was told by someone who had the gift of interpretation - but I haven't had that sense that I've spoken in tongues recently as I've drifted away from God. I think I'm good at public speaking in the sense of projecting my voice, as that's something I've been told by a few different people. As for the church where I am now I've only been going there a few months and I haven't really been serving. As for their nature - they're quite an evangelical church as they seem to do quite a lot of outreach work and they have a history of doing things like going out to the local streets and the parks and asking to pray for people etc. Recently the pastors have said they've heard the same prophecy from multiple people that have a history of prophecy (including a visiting pastor from another church) about them starting a movement within the students of out city that will see quite a few people come to faith. Thanks for replying - hope this helped give context!

    3. I believe that this dream indicates that God has called you to prophetic, teaching and evangelistic ministry, and God is calling you to return to your call and closer relationship with Him. The giving out of the Bible verses (teaching) to random people (prophecy, word of knowledge) in the city center (evangelism) really condenses these three ministry callings into one act.

    1. It seems that there might be a situation in your life where you sort of know that you should get out of it, but fear is stopping you. If this is a God-given dream then some people in your youth group have been given you the right advice. Perhaps it's an issue that doesn't look serious to you, but the fire in the van tells that it is more serious than it looks like.

  77. The building the dream refers to is the Church of 1 Peter 2:5: "you also, like living stones, are being built into a spiritual house to be a holy priesthood, offering spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ." The focus of this Church is on people and not physical buildings. As you do that, the fire of God is lit in people, as the sparks spread. There is a possibility that God wants your ministry to be wider than an individual ministry, as the spiritual building of God consists of all the people. Perhaps He's asking you to lay your life not just for the ministry you are involved in, but to extend your ministry through some level of more practical sharing with other ministries. Then something new happens. If yo study revival history, you will soon realize that nearly every move of God has been accompanied with Christians coming together for a time from different backgrounds and even denominations.

  78. Would you please ask for the HOLY SPIRIT'S interpretation for the following dream I had. I was at a part of our home with my boyfriend and daughter when we heard a knock on our door. My boyfriend asked me to go and check but I asked him to rather do that. He went answered the door and came to tell me there is an older lady with complete grey hair and a younger lady at the door with a message for me from the landlord. I asked him to let them come to the living room where I joined them and the older lady said that the landlord had asked them to come to my home to find where thieves enter to rob me so that HE can seal all such areas. I thanked them and gave them the go ahead. They looked everywhere while I waited in the living room and they came back, showed me the areas which I did not even know about, they thanked me and said they are going to tell the landlord their findings, and I woke up.

    ReplyDelete
  79. The Landlord in this dream represents God. The older lady represents wisdom or angels - not entirely sure what the young lady represents. But whether they are angels or visualisation of wisdom, and they have come to look at the entry points in your family when it comes to the attacks of the enemy. It seems that the thieves have already been robbing you, and God wants to stop that. There is a reluctance from your boyfriend's part to open the door to wisdom, but because of your insistence he will finally open the door to it. This indicates that he is not fully carrying the spiritual responsibility that he should be exercising. But because you let the two women do their work (because they are women, this wisdom is meant for you), you become aware of the issues that have been previously hidden from you - things that the devil uses to rob you. The two women then go back to the landlord to tell Him about their findings. This indicates that God will do something in your situation, and that this work will be somewhat independent from your response. It seems that He will do something that will block the holes, so that the enemy won't be able to get in anymore. Some of this will be rather drastic.

  80. I have had several dreams where I am expelling demons out of people. They could be people i know or people I have never seen before. In the dreams I remember I always win and the demon is expelled. I have cast demons out of multiple people in my dreams or a single person it honestly varies. I can always remember not feeling scared or anxious when I wake up. I feel strong and loved and at peace. There have even been dreams where I have a bright white light glowing from within me while I am expelling the demons. I can remember every single one of these dreams and I write down the settings, plot, and character. I have a strong faith and try to communicate with God and ask him for clarity.

    1. It is very rare for people to actually be possessed by demons, so this dream is about the power of prayer in spiritual warfare for other people. It visualises the spiritual authority God has given to you and the power of intercession - how it lifts spiritual darkness from around people.

  81. A family member of mine had a dream that involved me and it was very unsettling. He dreamt thatvour family was attacked by demons. in the dream as he prayed angels came down and grabbed the demons one by one, but when they got to me they told him it was too late. Off course it is unsettling to hear. I am not 100 percent on track with my walk with God, but to hear this was terrifying. Would God ever give us a message such as this through a dream?

  82. It is likely that your family member is processing their fears. But the other side of the coin is that every Christian faces spiritual attacks at some level from demons, so being attacked spiritually is often a sign that someone is doing something good. My personal experience is that the more I advance in the Kingdom of God, the more I am attacked by demonic forces. That's one of the reasons why Jesus advises us to count the cost before we respond to the call of His Kingdom.

  83. 22 years ago (I was 18), I got in a car accident and my boyfriend passed away. I was in the hospital with a 10% chance of living according to doctors. During that time in the hospital, I had visions and dreams that i didnt understand. I didnt go to church and didnt know much about the Bible or Christianity except that Jesus was the Son of God and I had that Faith. In a dream that was profound to me at the time, so much so that I wrote it down, a middle-eastern looking man road by me in a field. He was riding a white horse, wearing a gold crown with gemstones on it, wearing a metal looking coat of armor and one of those skirts men used to wear when they were going into battle. He also had a very long sword on his hip. He road by me and I felt like he wanted me to follow Him. He then stopped, turned his head, and told me to "come." This happened 3 times and on the 3rd time, He asked me, "are you coming?" I hesitated not knowing where I was going. He said ok and kept riding without me. As I was waking up, I felt regret because I thought I was suppose to go with Him. About 15 years later, I was watching a show about revelations and couldn't believe what I was hearing. So much of this dream has symbols... of what is in the Bible. Also, while i was in the hospital, i heard a whisper on a few different occasions.. the voice said "come." I could actually feel the breath on my ear when this would happen.

  84. I had a dream two nights ago and stumbled upon your blog researching my dream. I have had dreams in the past that have been actual dreams of revelation with people and places but this was more symbolic and I am hoping you might be able to help me interpret it, if it is from God. I was in a hotel with several people and I heard that a flood was coming so I secured my bible and journal on the floor and went back out by the other people. I then realized the flood was going to be deeper than I thought and I grabbed my bible and journal and headed all the way to back of the hotel to go to higher ground. Upon getting back there, I found a disabled man with a cane struggling to get up the stairs. I told him not to worry that we would do it together. We got up the stairs and the flood came. I noticed a door and stepped outside to see the sun was shining and it was beautiful. I looked back to the front of the hotel and saw the flood waters receding(the back of the hotel must have been on a hill). I went back inside and saw my dog soaked on a step. I found my cat on a cat bed in the hotel. I thought "Surely, she must have died" but she didn't. She was alive and breathing. Then that was it and I woke up. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    1. The hotel represents the temporary nature of our existence on earth. The door and the sunshine and beautiful scenery represent the fact that some of the beauty of eternity can be experienced already on earth. The fact that the flood didn't kill the cat represents the spiritual nature of the danger: a spiritual flood (in a negative sense) is coming, but the Church isn't ready for it. The animals can sense spiritual things, so they might get wet, but suffer from the sin of Adam only indirectly. The disabled man is the Church, and you have been called to help the Church to experience the beauty of God in this time & to take it to the higher ground.

    1. If the dream was from God, then it is not uncommon for there to be demonic resistance against it. There is a demonic war against every God-appointed relationship. I would recommend beginning to pray intensively for her and also for your relationship. Spiritual obstacles are only removed in the Spirit.

    2. I pray , I daily pray , I even fast without even drinking a drop of water ...... all the I just pray in my heart ...... all day I just keep thinking abt that and Jesus Christ......... I still believe In Jesus Christ........ but she is not ready to agree....... I need help

  86. Hi about three weeks ago i had a dream that i was in a bright place i think it was heaven because i was kneeling down and this light was so bright that i had to close my eyes when all of a sudden i hear a voice which I think I was from God because he told me my child i have separated you from darkness to light from the goat to the sheep. He said that he had given me a spiritual gift that is not common and to only use it for his honer and glory and that i will come across people that i would have to tell them something that he wants me to show or tell them and that i will dream of them and have vision of them and he told me not to depart from his path for he has chosen me. ....... can you pleas tell me what he means by that gift i am just 14

    1. Put simply, God wants to give you the gift of prophecy. Jeremiah 1:7 says about Jeremiah's call to be a prophet: But the Lord said to me: “Do not say, ‘I am a youth,’ For you shall go to all to whom I send you, And whatever I command you, you shall speak." God delights in giving this gift to young people mainly as it takes quite a long time for it to mature. But the first step is spending time with God and becoming His friend. Get to know His Word and get to know His Presence. Everything else will flow from there.

    1. I believe that the dreams you are seeing are identifying the spiritual influences around you and their source in symbolic form. That doesn't mean that your aunt herself needs to be aware of them or even hostile towards you. It could even be that these are spiritual influences in her family that are also affecting her negatively. For example, the family line of one of my friend's wife goes direct to Muhammed, the founder of Islam. This link, even when she had already become a Christian, affected their family negatively for a long time, until we broke that link in prayer. I don't know what your relationship with your aunt is and whether she is a Christian, but you must begin to pray for her and bless her in your prayers on a daily basis.

    2. Thanks for your reply .my aunt was once close with my family .she is also born Christian .but after getting her in my dreams repeatedly for ten to twenty times.i started to get afraid of her when I see her in person .now we are not that close with her though.she is staying in our house for past one year.

      Not only my aunt ,I had dreams of snakes,monkeys,buffaloes often like they are chasing me .one or two days after the dream as I said I have skin problem ,the pain will increase in my wounds which makes me to worry too much .

  90. I dream alot, some seem like warnings yet others I am not to sure about. One in particular still stands out for me. My mom passed in September of last year and we were not real close when she died but I found out she excepted christ. I have been really sick and not much has been done to cure it. So in my dream I'm sitting in an office like setting in front of a desk and a man behind it, I turn my head to the left as I start to hear my moms voice saying Its going to be ok and as she was saying that I turned my head to the left and see her, she is young and beautiful and healthy and she walks towards me to hug me and I said but you are supposed to be dead and it seemed as if someone was behind her. But no sooner did I get that out of my mouth I woke up

  91. Other dreams are more of a warning of things to come though, I was in like a grocery store but didn't recognize the place or the people but a huge shaking started and everyone fell and many were hurt. I could see myself helping others and making sure they were ok. As I do with most of my dreams.

  92. I was in a corporate office run by a bunch of demons. They acted like normal business men, and none of them seemed to pay much attention to me or regard my presence because they were busy fulfilling their assignments. I was there because they had taken Elijah (my 6 year old son) somewhere and I was inquiring of any one that passed by “where’s Elijah, where’s Elijah?” intending to find him and get him back from them. I was concerned and desperate, but not fearful of them, nor were they fearful of me. Finally, I got one’s attention and asked again, “where’s Elijah, where have you taken him?” The demon said frankly; “We’ve taken him and we don’t have to give him back to you because you’re asking each one of us to release him when we don’t have the power to. So naturally I thought, “I know who has the power”, then spoke, “In the name of Jesus, I demand you show me where Elijah is so I can have him back!” The demon started to look very uncomfortable and said, “I already told you, I don’t have the power to show you where he is or release him. Let me take you to my boss.” I was led to the boss’s office and started shouting the same, “In the name of Jesus, I demand you show me where Elijah is so I can have him back.” The boss looked slightly uncomfortable, but mostly unphased by my inquiring of the name of Jesus. It seemed he provided the information I was asking for, but willingly because he was gloating- not because I had used the name of Jesus. He said, “We have Elijah because we noticed you are generally agreeable and flexible with other people’s persuasions. My associates influence those around you more often because we observed that you have a weakness; you permit the perspectives and views of others and “go along” with it, leaving them unchallenged. Therefore, we’ve captured Elijah because of the persuasions and influence of the association around you that you leave unchecked.”

    Initial Conclusion: I then realized there are times where I’ve allowed the persuasions of the unrighteous despite my better judgement at times, especially when it’s nuanced or hidden. At critical moments, I have historically (and rather quickly) agreed because something seems reasonable rather than testing the spirit and remaining ever-prayerful. It is what is left unchecked, untested and un-prayed about that carried a very demonically-influenced plan against Elijah. Father, forgive me for going along with what’s reasonable, whether it’s supported by facts, whether the person has influence over me, or whether I’m just agreeable to escape conflict. Reveal to me what I may unknowingly permit. I am a warrior for Christ; I will stand on Truth even when it’s unpopular and battle more often. I will stand at the ready and be continually armored upon in the Spirit. Help me to consistently demonstrate Truth to Elijah, to my friends and my family whom do not know You. Let Your influence be greater upon Elijah and I; Let Your influence be more than the influence of those whose influences come from the unseemingly demonic. Confuse the enemy camp and continue to reveal the hidden schemes of the enemy. You can take control of my life and my son’s life when I take more control over it with Truth.

  93. Last thing, I pray regularly to the Lord (by regular I mean more than several times a day) and often pray protection over my son including over his heart, mind and Spirit... and that he'd come to know Jesus intimately at an early age. Plus, we have a very loving, faithful and bible-believing body of believers at the church we go to. Hope this helps build some needed context!

    1. As a father of an 18-year old son, I can relate to your emotions about the dream. What the dream is showing is that it is you as Elijah's father to keep him free and release him free. The unrenewed mind makes a lot of mistakes when raising children; sometimes because we follow common sense, at other times when we seek to apply Christian education mechanically. But we must learn to seek the guidance of the Holy Spirit regarding our children. He knows them best. He is their Father. And when we listen to the Holy Spirit, we partner with their Father in their upbringing. The positive side of the dream is that even the demons confess that at this stage they don't automatically have the power over your son, as he is under the spiritual care of his father. This is the power and responsibility of being a father. But our unrenewed mind doesn't do the will of God, so we need to seek to renew our mind through the Holy Spirit. I believe that this is a prophetic advice for the future years of you as single parent. No one else but you has the power to take Elijah from you. If you love him with the wisdom that Christ will give you, he will continue to love you back. His love for you is entirely in your hands. That's a tremendous responsibility but also a promise.

      Delete
    2. Thank you to you and thank you to the Holy Spirit. Things have been pointed out I did not initially consider. Sometimes it is difficult to avoid "managing" his faith- something I try to be very aware of. The Father does not "micro-manage" us. He is the author and perfecter of our faith, and the author and perfecter of Elijah's journey and path. Pray for me that I may love Elijah lavishly and show him the freedoms Jesus offers.

    3. When my son was about your son's age, God showed me a dream that warned me not to discipline him in a certain way on a certain issue. I took the advice in that dream, and have applied it consistently. That must be one of the most important decisions I have ever made!

    4. I had a dream where it was announced that there was a celebration called by satan, and everyone was invited to join. On the day of the event, there was a musical band in the sky it was passing by and i can see a trail of fire (like airplane trail). People went outside and put their hands up and they were taken up with the band. I knew in the dream that the celebration was not meant for me but at the same time i also felt the urge to go as well. When i got up, into the party, i was in the presence of satan telling people to go ahead and do whatever they felt like, enjoy themselves. People were drinking, partying and engaging in sexual activities. I just stood there looking but not partaking. Satan then approached me and put his hand around my shoulder and stretched his hand to fondle my arm. I looked at him knowingly, like i knew what he was doing and saying in my look that its not working. He also looked at me also recognizing that he was not successful. God then spoke to me and asked me to go and tell the women who are facing difficulty in their marriage and relationships they may often lose hope and lose their way, but trust God and continue to pray to him. I went back down and started speaking to my friends then my alarm clock went off and i awoke from the dream. Was that a message from God? Before i went to sleep i was reading the bible and prayed at lenght. Please help. .

    5. It seems that God might have shown you what is taking place in the invisible spiritual dimension right now & every day. In one sense, the whole world system is encouraging us to have a party with Satan every day and not worry about our eternity. But we are inviting people to a celebration that won't last one day but an eternity - with Jesus! Not sure how the command to go to tell women facing difficulties in marriage and relationships fits within your current life situation, but I would certainly take that aspect of the dream to God in prayer to ask for further direction.

      Delete
  94. Thank you for your response. I have had a difficult time finding my way after my marriage ended shortly after it began (6 months), and i tried to make myself feel better by getting myself involved in a few 'relationships ' and sex. I have since repented and knows through Gods grace that nothing else makes sense. I also have a few friends who are currently encountering problems in their relationships. I feel the urge to share my example and the dream so that hopefully they dont make the same mistakes like me. What do you think?

    1. You can certainly do so - depending on where they are in their faith, you can do it with or without referring to the dream. But the dream is showing that at least you have something to give in the area - it often takes a brokenhearted person to be able to help the brokenhearted.
