I'm starting this thread because I just read a thread by Heartsearcher about some dreams he had and realized that it would be good to have a thread (actually, a whole forum would be nice) for people to share their dreams and visions that they have questions about and see if others can help answer their questions. I used to have lots of dreams and visions, and I think there's a shortage in interpretations for dreams and visions in general. This thread is to give people a chance to share their stuff and others a chance to maybe exercise their own prophetic or revelatory gifts. In the meantime, I'll ask RoboOp about starting a forum specifically for dreams & visions and interpreting them.

well i have daydreams that my friend calls divine thinking. most of them are good however today i had a scary one. i do not have control of these things or when they happen but here it is. I was in hell and i was pinned down by a demon i was a person who rejected God completely, i refused to allow him in. the demon was peeling my skin off like you do a orange skin except the pain was completely unbearable and the worst part was this was for eternity. i cried out to Jesus to forgive me over and over again bawling because i just couldn't take it. Jesus replied that i would accept him when offered so he could not save me. i said i know but please have mercy forgive me please. i actually felt the horror even after the daydream faded
Well, I asked RoboOp about starting a forum for this, but he said I should start a chat room for it. Since it isn't doing so well as a thread and I have no time to moderate a chat room, I'm going to chuck that idea for now.
I guess more people would be interested if there was any time to moderate this. Heartsearcher, it appears that the enemy is using unhealed injuries in your life to torment you whenever he gets a chance. (People daydream on purpose about things they like. You're being put into trances when you encounter the enemy, not daydreams. In trances and sleep or dreams, he can intervene; but not really in daydreams.) I hope you can find help and wisdom where you are to help deal with this. And Crossnote, I guess you're right. When the time calls for it and people need their stuff looked closer at, and when someone has time to moderate this type of thread (or chat room), I'm sure people will want to ask about their spiritual experiences. Can't expect a thing to succeed before its time comes.

I believe this has potential here honestly, because there's people whom the Lord has gifted with the ability to interpret dreams and such. However, it can cause alarm in others, as many don't believe in dreams, prophesies, etc today. We've been studying the book of Daniel in Bible study on Monday nights at my church, and it has taught me a lot. I DO believe in God giving us gifts of the Spirit, why? Because they're OF the Spirit, and the Spirit of God is eternal, as is the Holy Spirit, for God is eternal,never ceasing. However, keep in mind there's many out there whom just take wild shot guesses at what dreams mean and everything, and we must learn to discern things, and make sure what they claim matches up with what we believe it may mean, and that it's sound with scripture. Personally, I had a dream last night, that was pretty wild, and terrifying at first, but then it wasn't an alarming thing after realizing what it means...or at least what I believe it means, as I've asked the Father to give me understanding and wisdom of the meaning and purpose, and a friend of mine gave an interpretation that was basically just about the same exact thing as what I thought. It wasn't contrary to scripture, it wasn't out of line, and it bore witness with my soul. I say keep an open mind and heart to the truth, BUT also keep the FULL armor of God on at all times, and don't make yourself susceptible to just anything and everything

I think the biggest concern would be a lack of order. Paul tells the Corinthians how to 'do church'. He tells them that one should prophesy at a time and others listen to see if what they say is of God or not, etc. In the same way, if someone shared a dream or vision here, it would be hard to moderate who can give an interpretation and who will scrutinize the interpretation to see if it's from God or not. This would work really well in person; the only thing really missing online is moderation and order. Breno, you may be surprised at what you can get on CC. God often doesn't give full clarity all at once; sometimes, He gives like a little light, and then you know which way to go. As you follow that lighted path, you come up on the answer (or in this case, interpretation) on your own. I don't think this is about someone telling you every meaning or interpretation to your dreams and visions but more people giving you enough light (sometimes a little light; sometimes a lot of light); with that light, the Lord will then unfold the rest of the interpretation.

Hey Allin, this is an excellent forum you created. great work !! Well as far as dreams are concerned there was a time I used to see snakes , not just one but alot of them in my dreams. There were times when I saw myself surrounded by snakes in a dungeon. This happened few years ago, but lately I dreamt of snakes again. Well the thing is I hate snakes it reminds me of the devil, and whenever I dreamt of snakes I was never attacked but its just that they were everywhere, all around me most of the time. I dont know if this means something , maybe you could help.
Well, you don't necessarily know a dream is from God till you look closely at it. "God does speak-- now one way, now another-- though man may not perceive it. In a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep falls on men while they slumber in their beds, then He opens the ears of men and seals their instruction" (Job 33:14-16, NIV). I had lots of dreams that I thought were from God but weren't, and I wrote down all my dreams. Then I had one dream and told my older brother it definitely wasn't from God and that I wouldn't write it down. It was only after I wrote it down that I began to see that it was from God. As the years passed, no one could properly interpret this dream. In time, I came to learn that the dream held a major key to freedom in an area of bondage I'd been struggling with. Also, some dreams aren't directly from God, but He uses them to get our attention and tell us something we may need to know. This also happened to me: God allowed me to have several dreams actually about my brothers; in time, I learned He was talking to me about myself in a way that I wouldn't shut off before He got His message across (which was why He used my brothers). "God does speak-- now one way, now another-- though man may not perceive it." Remember that; He's actually always speaking about one thing or another. Other 'less friendly' versions say "man does not perceive it."

Wow, that sounds like the meaning is either very simple and straightforward or many-sided. Have you ever prayed and asked God for the meaning of these dreams? They are recurrent and the snakes are all around you but don't attack you; that means there is meaning to the dreams. Have you received anything from God about these? If you haven't, please get a notepad and ask Him in prayer. You'd be surprised that you may get an answer at once. I'd say that even if it doesn't make sense to you, write down what comes to mind after you ask Him the meaning of the dreams, then ask Him to give you a Scripture passage to confirm it. Whatever you get, you can then share it here and see maybe how to proceed.

You are asking one of us to be a prophet?
are you kidding me?
You are asking us to loose our eternal life by claiming to be a prophet, and interpreter of dreams?
Sorry. I don't do that stuff.
2 Pet 1:20 Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation.
2 Pet 1:21 For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.
2 Pet 2:1 But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies,

Well just because I still remember a dream I had last night why not give it a go...
Ok so I'm walking through a house, not the house I live in now, but one ive dreamed about before. Like many times before that I share with friends in my dream. I'm in the living room and its like night time and a party is going on, and this girl is hugging me saying something about steam cleaning the floors because of pets or something well i walk out of that room into the hallway and open a dorr and am like guess my roommate isnt home, also its not daytime outside. Next I walk into 'my room' and there is a black guy in my bed. Not african american but literally black skin, black eyes, weird nose, more like justs nostrils actually. Well this guy is in my bed with a cigar and I'm like 'who are you?" and he pulls back the cover points at me with a meat cleaver and says "youre new roommate"
I then woke up, because my roommate was being loud as she got ready for work.

Is there a gift of interpreting dreams in the bible?
People can get a general idea of a dream but not the specifics, Unless GOD reveals to them about it.
But most dreams people have leads them back to GOD not to people.
HE speaks in MYSTERIES and HE expects HIMSELF through HIS Spirit to interpret them.
So i urge everyone with dreams to take it up to HIM daily till they get answers..
You might be spilling beans that should not be spilled to the public.
