Dream interpretation

GreenNnice · May 15, 2013

Where do the thoughts come from ?

So far , don't we know, that dreams don't just happen, someone 'happens' them

Cobus · May 15, 2013

God said: ACKNOWLEDGE HIM IN ALL THY WAYS, AND HE SHALL DIRECT THY PATHS... My path also runs when I sleep. So I am so glad to report, God is even in my dreams.... Oh and sorry I do get visions, and He is DEFENATELY in them as well. And Sorry I have thoughts... Oh HE IS DEFENATELY IN THEM AS WELL... So Sorry if I cram God in ALL MY WAYS ZONE, I ask forgiveness,..

I seek NO Miricle, sighn or wonder, I perfromed them thick and thin, but yet worked the iniquity... So I guess HE NEVER KNEW ME... ALL I SEEK is.... MAY GOD SET ME FREE! MAY HE DIRECT MY PATHS....I do not care WHAT that enfolds, or what that would transpire I would be or do, AS LONG AS HE DIRECT MY PATHS.

Like Jesus prayed, I pray.... NOT MY WILL FATHER, BUT YOURS. WHATEVER THAT MAY BE... ANd LORD, THANK YOU THAT YOU ARE EVERYWHERE IN MY WAYS! I KNOW LORD, YOU SHALL DIRECT MY PATHS....

Sorry people, I CANNOT GET GOD OUT OF MY HEAD, NOT EVEN IF I SLEEP! I WONDER IF I DIE, WOULD I ALSO BE CARRIED BY ANGELS TO THE BOSOM OF ABRAHAM? THEN GOD IS STILL IN MY THOUGHTS/SOUL/SPIRIT/LIFE, even though I am dead? WOW! Looks like if God moves in HE REMAINETH FOREVER IN US THAT ARE BEING SAVED.

I wonder what a person does whose paths are DIRECTED BY GOD? IF God says HE DIRECTS the paths of let us say JOE, then I wonder if Joe would do and say like Jesus did... I think Jesus said HE ONLY DOES AS THE FATHER WISH/DIRECT... WOW!!!!

I'M BAAAAAACK....lol.....anyways, just wondering if we got any interpreters out there anywhere. i've had several reoccurring dreams that i've had, none recently but i just wanna get someone else's take on them. i kinda have an idea but anyway...one had to do with the usual flight kinda thing. i know some have said it's about wanting to escape eartly issues or whatever, but there's more detail to it. i'm usually trying to get away from something thats chasing me, usually some kind of animal or beast. sometimes i'll kinda make my way to a high point, i.e. tree or roof top but sometimes i'll actualy take flight but it seems the higher i try to go, i'm impeded by a grid of electrical wiring like power lines but they're like criss crossed and the higher i go, the closer they get together and i'm afraid to go any higher.
another i have is about seeing tornado's. now, i've never been in one or even seen one in person, but i'll have a dream where a tornado, or sometimes several tornado's come extremely close to me. i never get caught up in one but like i said, they'll get uncomfortably close. i'll usually be hiding behind a wall or in a building and i will watch them pass but never get injured or whatever by them....i know this topic isnt a "bible study" topic but this is usually where i post....

Only thing that i could make of it is that you are trying to get closer to your destiny and you going to go through a lot of obstacles, and the enemy is right behind you to devour you.

Stephen, I've got to hand it to you. You take these incessant attacks like a Godly man. Your opponent, however? I'm sure wondering about this "opponent" of yours. Spewing all that hate continually at you? I don't know about you, Stephen, but this "person" that's virtually chasing you around this chat site, continually hounding you with all these incessant hate replies is beginning to give me the creeps.

"A good person produces good things from the treasury of a good heart, and an evil person produces evil things from the treasury of an evil heart. What you say flows from what is in your heart."

All I'm seeing spewing up out of that heart is hate.

Sure it does,what is the source of the dreams? If the source is self it's not from God. How do you know it's from God? Since when in the Bible are dreams about ourselves if it is from God?

You needn't be so passive aggressive about it...we all know whom you are talking about.

Just for clarification---disagreeing with continuationists is now persecution of continuationists??

it would take pages to explain the last 2 weeks of my life. unbelievable things happened
the power of God is SO evident, lifechanging and im still in shock. Not one miracle, not one
liver quiver, not one dream, vision, miracle etc....but wow just supernaturally natural.
Some want to say some just cant see the power of God because they dont chase
signs and wonders. I see Him, no problem. Right in the open. I wonder if some miss it if a bell
doesnt ring first.

We walk by faith and not by sight. And He does as He is pleased, no God-in-a-box attitude will stop Him.

could not the "unbelievable things that happened" be miracles?

Danschance: “[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma, Calibri, Geneva, sans-serif]Dreaminterpretation is not mentioned in the new testament, but ismentioned several times in the Old Testament We do not see it listedas a distinct spiritual gift, even so that does not mean it does notexist. [/FONT][FONT=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma, Calibri, Geneva, sans-serif]See1 Cor 12[/FONT][FONT=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma, Calibri, Geneva, sans-serif] It may fall under the gift of prophecy. We know that Daniel wasclearly a prophet of God and as prophet he saw visions and also gavethe interpretation of dreams and also gave the interpretation of thehand writing on the wall. So this may mean that interpreting dreamsand other omens from God is a subset of the gift of prophecy.[/FONT]

[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma, Calibri, Geneva, sans-serif]Eventhough Abiding is completely convinced that dream interpretation isonly for pagans, I feel it is plausible, even for today. Even so Iwill concede I have not seen witnessed this and it is not mentionedin the New testament. God still communicates to us today and may useany means He desires.[/FONT] Goddoes not change. He gave dreams in the OT and so STILL gives dreams: See Matthew 1,2 27 and Acts 2:17

10 Topreocurring dreams: These 'meanings' or interpretations are NOT froma Biblical stand point. Be careful about where you resource!

GreenNice:“[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma, Calibri, Geneva, sans-serif]Whoputs the dreams in our head ?[/FONT][FONT=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma, Calibri, Geneva, sans-serif]” Exactly!! GOD created us to dream for a PURPOSE!! God gives us ourdreams. He also allows Satan to manipulate our dreams for HIS(God's) purposes.[/FONT]

[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma, Calibri, Geneva, sans-serif]Inge:“[/FONT][FONT=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma, Calibri, Geneva, sans-serif]T[/FONT][FONT=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma, Calibri, Geneva, sans-serif]hereis a reason that in the new testament dreams are not mentioned. Theyare sometimes called visions. And Paul gets them at night too. Peteralso in the midst of the day. [/FONT][FONT=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma, Calibri, Geneva, sans-serif]Dreamsare while you are asleep. See Job 33. Visions are had while awake.Dreams are metaphorical. Visions are literal. There is a HUGEdifference between the two.

[/FONT][FONT=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma, Calibri, Geneva, sans-serif]Thegeneral issue is in all of this: IS God still able to do suchmessages? Or isn't He. [/FONT][FONT=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma, Calibri, Geneva, sans-serif]Goddoes not change, so Yes, HE is 'able'.
[/FONT][FONT=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma, Calibri, Geneva, sans-serif]Andthan next, what when it happens, how can one be sure it is from God,why should it happen etc.[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma, Calibri, Geneva, sans-serif]Dreamsare messages, instruction, revelation. Write them down and keep ajournal of what He is saying to you!

[/FONT][FONT=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma, Calibri, Geneva, sans-serif]Telling"it is not Biblical" is nonsense, but the source of thedream or vision must be God, and the message in it must be measuredwith the message in the Bible and be in agreement with it. [/FONT][FONT=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma, Calibri, Geneva, sans-serif]Onthe contrary. God will allow a dream to be manipulated by Satan sothat YOU, the dreamer, can be alerted to what the devil has plannedfor your life. That way, you can take action and take the authorityyou have in Christ Jesus to cancel those assignments against you fromhell. [/FONT][FONT=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma, Calibri, Geneva, sans-serif]Andin a forum like this a person as source is already not really verytransparent, clear. So how can anyone be sure than that the dream isfrom God...this is already an issue. [/FONT][FONT=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma, Calibri, Geneva, sans-serif]FromGod or allowed by God is not the issue. WHAT He is showing youIS.

[/FONT][FONT=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma, Calibri, Geneva, sans-serif]Alsothe devil did a great trick, by getting everywhere New Age stuff sopeople are scared for anything supernatural. And God Himself isSpirit and He is supernatural. To make a distinguish between what isGod and what is from the Devil is for a lot of people not easy. [/FONT][FONT=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma, Calibri, Geneva, sans-serif]Whichis why interpretaion is important. We ALL havedreams....because He loves us and it is simply ONE WAY that HE speaksto us. Some are gifted to interpret, others not. So what? Some aregifted for healing, others not. Some for words of knowledge, othersnot. WE ARE TO ALL WORK TOGETHER for the good of the Kingdom!!!

I like to bring up questions as way of letting people think.

I do believe in dreams, I have had some myself

And I try to make clear that in a forum like this it can be very hard to accept someone credibility. In the way of discerning if it (the dream) is by faith or "by fake" or by eating too much pizza....

I have dreams that are general dreams. I have had dreams that do "hit me in my face" to say so. I think some dreams are given to warn or tell you something. So interpretation is important as in interpreting Gods biblical way.

I have a colleague whom is a New Ager, whom sees spirits since he was kid, and he can predict sometimes the future. (I explained exactly that I do not think it is biblical at all, and that it is from the wrong side and dangerous) And I learned from it (because I think this is an opportunity to learn to distinguish) that the devil imitates Gods gifts and really makes people blind for the truth. He feels very happy with his visions etc.

Dreams, can be dangerous. So both interpreting and discernment is the key.

But,but,but where is the rapturous joy in a kind word at just the right moment,or God using a cat to teach one about contentment,or a loving rebuke,or when one is struggling getting enough money to pay the bills and you get that check at just the right moment. Really how is one suppose to see Jesus in those moments when it is not the big flash and bang but when you see Him in the simple things in life,in what seems to be small things? HMM come to think of it where in any of the miracles that Jesus did was there ever any flash and bang? He spoke a simple word and it was done. No drum rolls,no choir,no parting of the skies,no fanfare,just a prayer,a blessing and 5,000 are feed,a simple command to come forth,just the words "go,your faith has made you well". Makes one wonder. Are some of us looking for the flash and bang or are we looking for Jesus?

Why is it that whenever there's a thread on dreams, visions or tongues that you're always in them? All here know you disagree on these topics, so why do you not refrain from posting in them? What are you trying to achieve?

Don't ever mock the way God chooses to communicate with a person, however He chooses to do it. It is your decision to disagree, but why mock others.

There is an obvious difference between a regular dream and a dream from God. Those who have had them know the difference. When they are from God the message is very clear. God would never leave a person confused as to the interpretation, the dream or vision will always be very clear. They do not add to scripture, often they are used as encouragement, or to get your attention on something in your life that needs addressing.

When you're sleeping there are no distractions around you. It could be God communicates in this way for this very reason, so the person will actually listen.

Inge: "I have a colleague whom is a New Ager, whom sees spirits since he was kid, and he can predict sometimes the future. (I explained exactly that I do not think it is biblical at all, and that it is from the wrong side and dangerous Your friend is has a prophetic gift FROM GOD, but his 'antennea' is tuned to the wrong channel. He is a 'seer as was Samuel, the prophet. And I learned from it (because I think this is an opportunity to learn to distinguish) that the devil imitates Gods gifts and really makes people blind for the truth. He feels very happy with his visions \e ONLY GOD has gifts to give. Satan can only distort the gift or cause a person, even unwittingly to use if for other than Kingdom purposes.

Dreams, can be dangerous. So both interpreting and discernment is the key." Dreams are never 'dangerous'; it cannot hurt you in any way. It is a MESSAGE so that YOU can take action and become the overcomer you were created to be. If we don't understand a dream, we are to SEEK the Lord on the matter. Even 'nightmares' have purpose because it is how God allows you to SEE what your enemies...both spiritual and natural...are up to. Then you pray and ask for strategy. You cancel assignments of the enemy against you. You prophesy the opposite of what the nightmare/dream showed you.

Just to add to these points in earlier post....

If a person is confused over the interpretation of a dream then it's possible they only had a regular dream. Why would God communicate to you by giving a message that's not clear?

I think it could be dangerous for someone to try and interpret your dream, because they have no idea what's happening in your life at the time and how this dream might relate to that. Another person could get it completely wrong as they will see something different in the dream and then misinterpret.

It's a bit like when God answers your prayer but the person sitting next to you has no idea because the answer was for you and not them.

That's the problem with most people who come in here and downplay the work of the church and the gifts of the Spirit. Some of their major philosophies are "it doesn't make sense", or "think about it", or "you're not thinking things through". The real problem is "stinkin' thinkin'", trying to "figure it out". In the end, they bring God down to their level and jam Him in a box.

Isaiah 55:8-9 [SUP]8 [/SUP]For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD. [SUP]9 [/SUP]For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.

God's works do not make common sense. Maybe because they're not common. When God does things for His own pleasure, it's on His level, not ours.

Holman Christian Standard Bible (©2009)
The mind of the righteous person thinks before answering, but the mouth of the wicked blurts out evil things.

When God stops you from overtaking a truck, on a pitch black evening, on a winding and hilly road, where you do not see that oncoming car about to hit you head on, should you decide to pass... and then at the second you are about to overtake He takes your attention away from overtaking, diverting your attention to a sudden light 'thing' that passes by you to your left... then to your horror you then see that car that you almost plowed into at his speed of around 80mph.

We do go by faith, not by sight, but God works in our lives in different ways. No believer is sitting around waiting for a dream or vision... usually they are just given and not expected. Please don't judge others' experiences, as if they are not focusing on Jesus.

Katy-follower · May 15, 2013

psychomom said:

Denying that dreams and visions are given today is clearly a rejection of them.

Rejecting them, when born again believers speak of having had them, is clearly a rejection of what these believers share.

Rejection of what these believers share (as part of their testimony and witness) is to suggest they are lying.

To believe they are lying leads to open rejecting of these things in public forums and results in persecution because of the unbelief.

God communicates with us in different ways, any way He chooses, so it's not for you to say He doesn't.
