Immoral dreams

[ForgiveMeGod]

A lot of Christians think that God talks to them in dreams and for me, I don’t think he does that for me. I’d tell you what my dreams are about but they are rated pg-13 to x rated, like almost every single one of them. I even repented from sexual immorality but it just seems like most of my dreams always have at least one sexual encounter, whether it’s kissing or more, all different women, either from my past or random women. Not sure what God is trying to tell me. I don’t watch porn anymore and I don’t masturbate but my dreams consist of giant parties, sometimes video games, mostly my high school friends and lots of women. I don’t even play video games. Every now and then, i have dreams where a bunch of people are stabbing me to death also. So, of God?i don’t think so. Unless I’m like a modern day King Solomon in my dreams.

I know you've mentioned in some of your posts that you have been on, and are weaning yourself off various medications.

I would suggest talking to your doctor about this if it concerns you. I've had insomnia for years, then started taking melatonin, and have been taking it for years. I know some will say this is unhealthy, but I'm doing so under medical supervision and for me, it's a choice of either take it or not sleep at all. And one of the most common side effects is vivid nightmares.

I often have dreams of people trying to kill me, and it will feel so real that it takes me several minutes to realize I'm in my own room when I wake up. I don't know if it's because I used to watch a lot of action movies in the past (but no longer do now) in which people were always getting killed.

But it doesn't seem to be something that's going to go away at anytime and I wish I could stop taking it, but nothing else I've tried has ever worked. "Natural" remedies are like the Sandman laughing in my face. So I do what I can to thank God that at least I CAN get some sleep and just deal with the side effects, repenting of things I find unnerving in my dreams when and if necessary.

I certainly don't have a medical background, but from the things you've mentioned, I wouldn't be surprised if your dreams might be a side effect of various medications or things you've taken, whether past or present. And it might be permanent.

I know the dreams (well, mine at least) can be be very disturbing, but I just try my best to take them to God, especially when I'm really shaken. I don't know what else we can do, aside from trying to live as healthily as possible and try to avoid meds except when they are absolutely necessary.

I pray things get better for you and keep us posted on how you're doing!

I rebuke my thoughts even my dreams in the name of Jesus the moment I realize it is happening. It usually helps in the moment, it's a reminder of how wicked our minds are. This has happened to me many times a few months ago, but less so now.

Thank you. I figured I’d try and share as much about me with the body of Christ, so God can do work in me.

i didn’t have this insomnia problem up until this past year. This year I got a therapist, I ended up being put on three new medications, one for anxiety, one for bipolar and one for neuro nerve pain, besides the two medications I was already taking, which were an antipsychotic and antidepressant. I have since weaned off of the neuro nerve pain medication which also caused weight gain and I’m currently weaning off of the antipsychotic, going from 7mg to 2mg and probably 1mg tomorrow. The more I wean off of the antipsychotic, the longer I stay up at night.

i’ll definitely check the side effects for each one and see if any of them contribute to these dreams. The me being stabbed to death dream has been more of a recent occurrence, maybe the past few years. The past ten years I’ve had the other dreams, as if I’m reliving my life before Christ in them. It also doesn’t help that I watched p*rn 8/10 last years. So I think my brain just needs to process all that and just cleanse and purify that in my mind but who knows if it’ll last forever. Makes me not want to be married, cause it’s like cheating on my wife every night having those dreams.

How would one go about rebuking their own thoughts?

Let's say in your dreams you are getting tempted by a hot jezebel girl. In your dreams you are about to get nasty with her, sometimes you may even submit to your subconscious, but the moment you realize its going on.. and it may take a while, for you to realize.
I pray in my mind, " In the name of Jesus, I cast out any sinful or wicked thoughts." and baam they are gone. That's how I do it.

But you can also pray before you go to bed, that God will protect you for these thoughts. After I watched Smile 2, I had an uneasy feeling about demons and possession and evil thoughts, so I called on the mightily name of Jesus and fear was gone.

The name of the Lord Jesus is all powerful. You just need to think the name, better though if you can say it aloud. Anways, it works for me and I'm no expert.

it has been a while since I’ve been able to control my dreams or at least think I had control over my dreams.

it might be best for me to pray that I am able to have more pure dreams before I go to sleep, and if for some reason I’m able to regain control over my dreams, if said jezebel was in them, and things were about to get more intimate, I’m not sure if I would remember to say something like that but there have been previous dreams where I’ve called out to God, I’m sure of. So could definitely be worth a shot to not only practice saying that in my dreams but also practice saying that in real life, if such occurrence were to happen, in any friendship/relationship with a woman.

i definitely know the power in the name of Jesus. One time I was surrounded by people who were demon possessed at a party in 2012, I called to Jesus before I was a Christian, while I was high on spice, and my God father and God brother rescued me from there about 20-30 minutes later.

True story bro, I was at a rave in 2000’s… the music was bumpin…. Everybody was dancing some rolling… some drinking…. And all of a sudden, I felt the Holy Spirit say to me look at all these idolaters., I was reminded of the scene in the movie the 10 Commandments, where the people were dancing to the golden calf… it’s not something I would’ve thought of on my own especially at that venue.

I too have been to about 5-6 raves, almost every time rollin, one time drinking 2008-2011. The last two times I rolled I didn’t even experience what I experience the first couple of times. Just felt like my spirit was bright, even though this was before i accepted Jesus as my lord and savior. I didn‘t really know what an idolater was back then but when I worked at Disneyland last year, that is when I was fully aware of idolatry. I went there knowing I was going into enemy territory, just to tell a few people about Jesus. I would read Bible plans at every every break I had, even praying a half hour to an hour before work, just to prepare myself. I was there for about 5 months and my popularity got a little overwhelming and I think God was calling me to leave.

The was two occurrences while I was there where I asked me if I believe in a yeti that is in the matterhorn but when they asked me it was really strange, so I told them I believe in Jesus and everyone who was sitting with me at the table got up and left, including the elderly woman who asked me if I believed in the yeti. Just a lot of strange occurrence.

And the last day I was there, when I left I walked to the bus stop to go home and there was who was a believer who looked like she came to realization that her same sex life ended. We talked for a while about Jesus and the horrors of her current job. It seemed like she was living in isolation and seemed very close to defeat. After listening to her and sharing with her my faith, a guy possessed by a demon ran up to us and sat down next to her to listen to our conversation. I ignored him and continued to minister to her. Her spirit got brighter, the demon possessed guy ended up running away, the bus got there and we sat next to one another till she got off the bus, thanking me. I wasn’t even bothered by the judgments on the bus, being with someone who was pursuing Jesus after the sin of same sex relations.

I get used by God

I would be ready to tell it all to go away in the Name of Jesus. I have had to do this in dreams and it is warfare. We have been given authority over these things that come against us. Taking every thought captive making it obedient to Christ. Keep strengthening yourself spiritually also-with all the Ephesians 6 armour, which I try to pray through every morning… have regular fellowship and prayer with true People of God, and ask for prayer back up. Make sure you have a good Pastor you can turn to. We are all soldiers of Jesus Christ in a spiritual battle, and we press on.

Keep up that good fight... God truly loves you.

I have a pastor that I talk to weekly but I haven’t brought this up to him, which I’m probably going to email him after this post. Thanks for reminding me!

Thank you, JaumeJ, it’s nonstop!! There is always something to work on.

Just emailed him about it.
