If you tell the dream as it happened, and tell if the dream was in full color, muted colors, or black and white, I will help you understand what the Biblical meaning of the dream is.

Dreams dont really matter. All God says is that dont be afraid of dreams or anything like that, just that you should fear him most of all instead of dreams. So dont take dreams too serious, just take God serious.

Dreams don't really matter? You're wrong about that Bazilla. If dreams don't matter, they why did God give lots of people dream in the Bible? Joseph, both of them, Daniel, Nebacaneezer (sp), John and others. Dreams are ONE of the ways that God still talks to us today...He has never stopped using dreams, but the church has stopped teaching about them and believing in them. The devil does not want us to pay attention to our dreams, because it IS one of the ways that our Creator communicates with us. If we learn at a young age to ignore our dreams...or even to fear them, then we miss out on God's loving instruction, direction, warning, edification, and encouagement.

God does speak to you in your dream, so taking them not serious could be a problem for some!
I have had God speak to me in dreams, and the dreams did come true!

Not all dreams have importance though.....like when a wardrobe's chasing ya and then it turns into a mountain that you're climbing up to reach the top of a tree ....eating too much before bed can cause weird dreams to occur.....

The Bible defines a dream in Job 33:15, "In a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep falleth upon men, in slumberings upon the bed;". The Bible says several things in this one verse. First of all, a dream is a vision of the night. The verse also teaches that a dream occurs when deep sleep falls upon men. According to the Bible, a vision is something that occurs when a man is awake, while a dream is something that occurs when a man is asleep. Some who study dreams say that we are always dreaming when we sleep, but we only remember the dreams right before we awake. This would actually fit with the scriptures in several cases where men remember a dream that actually woke them up. The Bible, however, does contain a verse that quite possibly gives us the cause. Consider Ecclesiastes 5:3, "For a dream cometh through the multitude of business; and a fool's voice is known by multitude of words." Now it is interesting that several who study dreams suggest that when your body slows down to rest, your mind continues to work. The Bible says that the multitude of business will cause dreams. This could be the multitude of physical and emotional business or it could be the multitude of mental business, but either way it appears that this is what causes us to dream. Though your body settles in rest, your mind can keep right on working and thinking.

Missy2: ".....like when a wardrobe's chasing ya and then it turns into a mountain that you're climbing up to reach the top of a tree ....eating too much before bed can cause weird dreams to occur..... " That would be called a 'Chemical' dream. And you would be correct in it having no spiritual meaning.
But there are about 20 different types of dreams. Most common amoung unsaved people are 'Soul dreams" as they eminate from the person's soul.
For Christians, the most common are 'Word of Knowledge' dreams.
