It seems to me If anyone believes that dreams are just your mind sorting filing or sorting experiences... and they are mixed up... then the mind is disordered. It seems to me if people believe that sleep is the "repair/rejuveinate" time... then saying things get mixed up in your dreams is a mistake... the mind should be RESORTING correctly... whereas things might seem "mixed up" but they aren't they were already mixed up and are being re-ordered.
THis is just my opinion on this particular belief about dreaming dreams...
I personally lean upon scripture that sleep being restorative and I have the Holy Spirit and put on the mind of Christ so I should experience no mix-ups or confusion. I do believe God speaks to us in dreams.. but they are personal... must harmonize with scripture and the holy spirit will help us if were are having trouble understanding.

Really?? All of you, really?? Do you READ the OT at all??
Job 33: [SUP]14 [/SUP]“Indeed God speaks once,
Or twice, yet no one notices it.
[SUP]15 [/SUP]“In a dream, a vision of the night,
When sound sleep falls on men,
While they slumber in their beds,
[SUP]16 [/SUP]Then He opens the ears of men,
And seals their instruction,
[SUP]17 [/SUP]That He may turn man aside from his conduct,
And [SUP][f][/SUP]keep man from pride;
[SUP]18 [/SUP]He keeps back his soul from the pit,
And his life from [SUP][g][/SUP]passing over into Sheol.
You know a couple of days ago i had a dream I was Extremely thirsty, there was a man next to this fountain and i kept drinking the water over and over but my thirst could not be quenched, i then woke up just as thirsty as i was in the dream
Consider these verses that have to do with 'thirst'

- Matthew 5:6“Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied.
- John 4:13Jesus answered and said to her, “Everyone who drinks of this water will thirst ag
- John 4:14but whoever drinks of the water that I will give him shall never thirst; but the water that I will give him will become in him a well of water springing up to eternal life.”
John 6:35 - Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life; he who comes to Me will not hunger, and he who believes in Me will never thirst
The man next to the fountain was Jesus, waiting for you to ask HIM for His Living Water; for you see that while your physical thirst cannot be quenched....He can satisfy your SPIRITUAL THIRST. The dream is given to encourage you to seek Him first.

Dreams are messages from the subconscious. That is New Age BS. God created us TO DREAM for the PURPOSE of speaking to when we are in a position to LISTEN. Our soul listens to His voice and does not talk back....cuz, like...WE ARE ASLEEP.
There are three different source of dreams: From God; from the soul of the dreamer, ALLOWED BY GOD; and from the devil; also allowed by God so that WE can see what the enemy has planned for our life...then we can take action against that plan.
Dreams from the devil are in black and white...very common for non-Christians. There is no color because color represents LIFE; hence dreams from God are in color, everyday, vibrant color. Dreams from the soul are in dull color, they come from the soul, yet do have a modicom (sp) of life. God allows these types of dreams so that we can have a better understanding of ourselves.

I spent three years studying Biblical dream interpretation. God gives us dreams for a Reason.

A very grand Spirit told me:
" at times the soul transcends the flesh -"
I believe these to be dreams. Even imagination are tied in with the spiritual element - remembering things long forgotten because our physical bodies are limited.
Sometimes though, dreams can be memories or deep feelings expressed through images. Some people have dreams which tell the future, or reveal something in the past. Spirits can interact with us in our dreams -
Idk.
I guess from a spiritual sense, it's a way to remind us about the forgotten element - that we do indeed have a spirit dwelling within us because the world often makes us forget it's even there.
