Hi I suppose I should add a few thoughts.
Ive been getting dreams from God since i was a child, in fact it all started
with a waking encounter with God. They fizzled out a bit as a child but then they
started again as an adult. Here is my testimony if you want a read.

Ive shared several dreams on here and I have also found that
God uses symbolism.
When I correctly understand the symbolism of something then that same symbolism
reoccurs in dreams when God wants to show me about it again.
Light blue or sky blue for me, means the presence of the Holy Spirit.
For example I was cured of my sleep walking in a dream. I use to do it 3-4 times a week,
sometimes 2-3 times in the same night. It's no wonder I was exhausted!
Then one night I had a dream that a small light blue silk cover or blanket came
fluttering down on me in bed one night. In the dream I jumped out of bed and wrapped
myself in it and twirled around the bedroom. Then I woke up.
I was actually stood in the middle of the room wrapped in my dressing gown spinning around! Lol
But after that night the sleep walking stopped! Just like that
I think I have done it maybe 3 times in the last 20 years and only when I have been ill.
Compare that to before the dream.
I also have many dreams about my old house and over the years God has shown me this
represents my own spiritual walk when I dream about that house.
Ive also had dreams about dogs but they have also been bad, negative, evil in some way.
One was prophetic. In one I dreamed a dog ran up to me and tried to bite me but as it bumped
against my leg, it's one and only tooth at the front fell out! It was a toothless dog!
A few weeks later I was on my way to church for real, it was very early in the morning and
no one else was around. As I walked to the bus stop I saw this huge Japanese Akita running
frantically back and forth. I crossed the road to avoid it but it ran over the road so I crossed
back. Then it saw me and just dived straight towards me. In a split second I remembered that
dreamed and quickly prayed that it could not harm me it was a toothless dog.
Well it ran up and I felt it bump its nose against the back of my leg. Then it just ran off so
quick that I did not even see where it went. Then I saw it running away across some fields.
Phew was a glad for that dream as I stayed calm and confident, I'm sure that's what
stopped it from biting me.
Ive also had other prophetic dreams, but they have mostly been for my benefit
rather than others. I am currently a carer looking after my elderly aunt and working
part time. Its very hard but I know it's exactly where I should be as God showed me in
dreams before the circumstances happened.
One thing I would say is most dreams are not Godly dreams. The Godly dreams have
a different feel about them they are not like normal dreams. For me they are very
colourful, vibrant, they feel different upon waking, they are very detailed and
memorable. There is a sense of excitement or expectation, when waking. Or a sense
of urgency.
I think as well that God may use different symbolism for different people, He
speaks to each one of us where we are at. That goes for dreams as well. So one
person's experiences may not be the same as another person's.
Having said that a good few years ago I felt compelled to read a book by a
certain author about dreams. As I read it, I felt as if I was reading about my own
myself, there were many similarities.
I always go the the bible when I have a Godly dream as many times similar
symbolism crops up and also God will never show you something which
contradicts His word.
As for someone who said they are for a very rare few people, I don't believe
that is true. Dreams and visions were used many times to communicate with people in
the bible. It's just that in this day and age people are not open to the possibility and
are closed off from it. That's a pity.
To the OP, there are a few others on here as well who have experienced Godly
dreams, it's more common than you may think but due to ridicule and doubt,
many don't speak about them. That's a pity as well.
I would add though, that there are some confused people out there who
seem to think all dreams mean something. Or they come on here as self
styled prophets or promising to tell people all about their dreams. Also
some occultist make all sorts of claims about dreams.
Its people like this who cause the scepticism and bring the whole thing
into disrepute. When there is a work of God there is often a counter fit
reproduction by Satan. That's another reason why people are doubtful
but there is an old saying about not throwing the baby out with the bath water.
There is a need to reject the counterfeit but accept the real. It can be
hard for people to know which is the genuine and which is the false stuff.
Anyway hello, welcome to CC.
