My only question is ..
What makes you think your dreams are from God? And for what purpose? If you don't know what your dreams means until you think the event has actually happened and you looked back..what ws the point of God giving you the dream or vision in the first place..
Dream reading and diary planning is more new age than Christian.
It takes a while to catch on
, I suspect many people dismiss them too
quickly so God stops using that form of communication with them.
They have a difference to them, they are often highly symbolic,
its not just what the dream is about which is important, it is the feel of
it also, how you feel upon waking up. It's hard to explain but regular dreams
dont have the same feel about them.
More importantly, we are told to test all things. Any dream which contradicts the
bible is not of God, it might be Satanic or Natural. Praying about a dream often
provides the answer if you are not certain. If they have a prophetic nature to them
then the test is if they come true - although you may not see the results of that
for some time. That's where a diary comes in handy. There is nothing wrong
with writing them down. Large chunks of the bible would be missing if all the
dreams and visions contained within it weren't written down because someone
thought it was a bit new age.
Most of my dreams are about my own situation and that helps to know if they
are genuine or not.
Satan can also counterfeit dreams, I've had these dreams as well just like Blain.
Fortunately they are few and far between. However counterfeits have flaws,
ive found Satanic dreams often make me feel sick when I wake up, whereas
Godly dreams bring joy, revelation, excitement, or its a light bulb moment etc.
Other times the Godly dreams lead me into curiosity and questions and digging
into the bible for answers.
The Satanic dreams I've had also have sickly lurid colours, awful greens and blacks,
shadows etc. This is not to be confused with darkness though as I've had Godly
dreams about God and darkness. Darkness does not necessarily mean the dream is
Satanic.
Other Godly dreams I've had, have been a series of dreams, where you have a dream
one night, then the second part the next night, the third part a few weeks after with each
part following on from the last one.
Or other examples are where I have had the same dream three times in the same week
or month.
I know many people are sceptical and that's ok, I understand why they are.
I don't pretend to have all the answers and I would never promote myself
as a dreamer or visionary etc. Most of the people in my church don't even know
of the dreams I get as I only mention it to those who seem interested. Only
one out of the four pastors in my church knows and that's only because he has
an interest in such things himself.
I think though that when the opportunity arises, it's good to bring the whole
aspect of dreams and visions out into the open, put the information out
there and let people decide for themselves.
Its just a shame that deceivers and charletans have brought sceptism to
this subject, maybe that is what Satan wants. If he can't stop the truth
getting out he will instead bring it into disrepute. That applies to many
Christian things unfortunately.
