There has been and only will be one Daniel from the bible, everyone is different and unique. The scriptures clearly say that in the last days ppl would dream dreams and receive visions crossnote wanted scripture and so I gave him scripture. Many ppl these days are given dreams and visions from God and true it should line up with scripture but many ppl disregard dreams and visions here in cc anyways
Well so have I, so perhaps you would like to describe the difference between a vivid still picture or vision, and a picture that moves over a time period that we see while asleep...APART from what I said in my post as follows?
"It is hard to draw a line between a dream or a vision, because what else is a dream but a moving vision while asleep?"
"It is hard to draw a line between a dream or a vision, because what else is a dream but a moving vision while asleep?"
Its really cool when you can start seeing Gods Plan and Gods Word in every day things.
Like dreams and visions.
Like movies. Especially the Matrix and Avatar (for me). Where the main character sees a different reality. And questions which one is more 'real'. Akin to 'walking in the spirit'.
In songs. Even mainstream ones.
When the Lord Jesus is your focus you can't help but see parallels, I think.
I see parallels between the OP's dream and the fight that christians have, in the spirit, with the help they receive from God. But, as you can see, I see these parallels everywhere. Pretty much...

I see parallels between dusting and sneezing
I draw a big fat line between the Holy Spirit revealing something and a movie suggesting whatever the producer happened to be into at any given time
The prophet (and I say that very loosely folks even though there are several self proclaimed adviseries running around the forum desperately trying to convince us all they are prophets) who has a dream may relate his dream, BUT LET HIM WHO HAS MY WORD SPEAK MY WORD IN TRUTH. What does straw have in common with grain? declares the Lord IS NOT MY WORD LIKE FIRE? declares the Lord, AND LIKE A HAMMER WHICH SHATTERS ROCK?
those are the words of Jeremiah who actually was a prophet...a major prophet
keep dreaming...I will speak the Word
I understand that one of the paranoid prophets will come along and naysay my post and if they do not, it is because I wrote that they would

I read this old japanese book when I was younger about people who intimately know a certain way and people who think they know this way intellectually.
The people who know the way intimately describe the intellectual as one who attempts to scratch the itch of peoples feet while leaving their shoe on. It almost makes sense but in the end it just doesn't work. The people who actually know will tell you to take your shoe off first, then scratch.
When something is revealed to you it is personal to you. You can describe it many different ways. You no longer need someone elses words to describe it. But you can see truth in many peoples descriptions. Sometimes you can see truth in peoples descriptions who aren't even necessarily trying to describe what you know to be truth.
I understand Jeremiahs words because I have experienced them. I am not waiting for a future event. Or hoping that his words are true. The Word of the Lord purifies, like a fire. Like living Water. Destroying what you used to be. A broken down sinner. Leaving you and your faith in God as what is pure and real.
These descriptions are literal and figurative. Figurative in the way it actually happens but literal in the fact that it actually does happen.
And the intellectual will come in and try to itch your foot through your shoe...

Your first dream could have been anything. Your "other" dreams are similar to the ones psychics have.
If you noticed, there's nothing spiritual in any of them.
My advice? Pray for God to deliver you from these dreams. Don't pursue to have any more. IMO, no spiritual message in these dreams point to the fact that they're not from God. God's dreams/visions have purpose, such as a message, a promise, a warning, etc.

Hi Stephen, yes I think it is a learning process when we start to get dreams but since God says we will have them in these last days we have to figure out what is of God and what is not. I think it was quite brave of Lars to put his dreams out there for public comment (lol). My own experience is that dreams from God seem to be pregnant with revelation, no tiny detail without significance...while the other kind can be traced to anxieties or worldly activities and there is nothing further in them. No need to be scared at all...if God has been happy to give a dream He is also happy to give an interpretation, because He is not the author of confusion.
I am wondering about the deja vu thing. Quite often I will have been thinking of someone and then they turn up out of the blue. All time being in God's hands along with all truth, perhaps the brain tries to make sense of what the Holy Spirit knows already.

I think we have dreams that come true to show God knew ahead of time what would happen and to encourage you and show you he gave you the ability to dream dreams. I have found that God will often give you insight on how to interpret a dream. If you need wisdom in the matter ask the Father who gives superabundantly. That said silver bullets are not real, it is too heavy and expensive to use. This would lead me to beleive it is metaphoric. Also it is something God maybe showing you but is not about you since you were observing not participating. It's interesting that you knew these were silver bullets. Silver is a metal used to symbolize atonement and redemption.
I believe this has to do with spiritual warfare. I believe the bullets are the Gospel of redemption in Christ Jesus.
I have been noticing God is calling more and more people to preach open air the Gospel on the streets. Some driving or flying long distances. Others called to stick around and continue to preach.
Buildings are man made structures or systems. Humasim, luciferian teaches ect. Our society is full of man made systems of doctrine.
I think God is rallying up the preachers of the Gospel of grace to war against these false doctrines and the Gospel is going to land a blow to these demonic ideals.
To me your dream makes perfect sense and really is encouraging. So thank you for sharing I receive it!

You know sometimes God gives us dreams to comfort us. A long time ago I had a very special dream that still touches my heart even when I think about it. You see for a long time now I have longed for a family, sure I have blood relatives I have an adopted family but neither of them gave me the sense we were a family they all only cared about themselves they constantly told me I couldn't do anything and treated me like child who is incapable of anything.
As i told God this one night I had a dream I saw a family and this family really loved each other they were happy and cared for another I longed for that and asked them if I could be a part of their family when suddenly a man in rags appeared and he gave me hug and this hug filled me with warmth and a deep love that flowed through my entire body even through my veins and he said to me you have to make your family like this and then the dream ended.
I knew that man was Jesus and the warmth and love that he filled me with is something I crave with him, he told me I had to make my family like this but my family doesn't listen to anything I say like everything that comes from Blains mouth is false but still I very encouraged from that dream, is it biblical? Idk but I knew it was from God

Hi Blain, that sounds wonderful that you have the comfort of the dream to remember Jesus' love especially for you.
It's tough in the family when even the ones you ought to be able to trust don't "get it". I too long for the kind of love that Jesus promises will show who His disciples and His family are. I have only had little moments when that has been so, but at least I do have some moments to remember. Mainly it all seems to be a struggle to get anywhere but we do know the struggle is worthwhile.
Did you glean some comfort from reading about Joseph?
Blessings, Con.

Amen, so that is a good picture of what the spiritual family we belong to will do to us and why we face these problems every time we speak about what God is showing us. I believe that God gave us all that wonderful Joseph story to warn of the desperate spiritual famine that comes upon those who are stiffnecked and jealous...and the fact that He Himself has taken measures to feed them: what the enemy meant for evil, God meant for good. He will use us for deliverance because He chose us for that purpose. The alternative is that they keep their pride and starve instead...but our hope is that they will, through the threat of spiritual starvation that they have brought upon themselves, finally embrace us and see we were speaking as the Lord desired and for their benefit.

But why did he choose me? I have wondered this for a long time considering how richly he has influenced and been in contact with me I have met Jesus twice I have met father twice I have met an angel I have been to the spiritual realm I have been shown countless rapture dreams I have been shown more dreams about the near future than I can count I have had many supernatural experiences and he has been so generous in speaking to me. Most of all of this very few ppl ever receive or at least in the amount he has given me I just cannot for the life of me understand why he chose me to do and show all of this. I am not special I am not pure and I am not deserving at all I have literally done nothing to deserve any of this.
If I ever get the chance to speak with him again I have to know the answer to this

I think that is so lovely that you don't know why He chose you. Me neither, it was all a bit of a surprise except I just got born again and just believed what He said, simple. I remember standing in a meeting once and saying "whatever it takes Lord", like I have never felt I am not allowed to speak that way with Him or because of being a woman I am not allowed to minister in certain ways...I know He is right there with me when I am good when I am bad or when I am totally stupid...just a little breath away and ready to respond personally and powerfully. That is so awesome eh.
Blain also I discovered He has a wonderful sense of humour. Once years ago I had gone through a very religious phase in a heavy leadership church who believed that all alcohol was evil, and that women should never wear trousers etc or men have long hair lol. We had a visitor at home who brought a bottle of wine with him which we didn't open but I put it in the fridge. A few days later I thought I might fancy a drop and I didn't feel like the Lord was saying nooooooooooo you can't. And I really really didn't feel like He was saying remember what your pastor told you...and in the end I felt free enough to open the bottle and try this wine.
Well Blain it was the most disgusting stuff I had ever tasted in my LIFE, I mean really.
I shot the whole lot immediately down the sink...and then I thought....that was really funny. I sat on the floor of my kitchen and laughed until I cried. The Lord knew exactly what was in that bottle and how foul it was...and He knew that we would share a joke about it when I tasted it and found out for myself. I love that. That to me is real intimacy when you can share a humorous experience which reveals so much about Him and about yourself.
Regarding dreams/visions I have been in a really bad situation here that I couldn't share, which amounted to being lied to and deceived really badly over a long period. I have regularly at certain points received visions and dreams to show me the truth as opposed to the lie that was told me, in such a striking way that I was able to challenge the person and get an admission. I would rather have a bad truth than a cosy lie any day.
Lovely talking with you. I am off to bed but will be back tomorrow.
