Last night I had a weird dream. I have no idea what it means, or even if it means anything. In my dream I was at a house I had never been at before. My adopted family was there, and everyone was helping to cook a huge dinner. In the dream I was younger I would say I was in my late teens to early twenties. My family did things in my dream they've never done. They gave huge slabs of meat to some dogs and cats I assumed were pets of someone at the dinner.

When I seen this I got upset. They had never done anything like this. In fact if any food was given to any pets by anyone it was always just scraps. I started to turn to leave. I was convinced this was not my family. As I started to leave my brother in law who I haven't seen in a very long time was standing there. He started singing something he had never done. The even weirder part was it was a country music song. I knew the song and I had not heard that song in a very long time. He never liked country music he liked rock and roll.

The song was Travis Tritt I'm gonna be somebody. When he started singing I dropped to my knees and began crying. I felt the Holy Spirit filling me up. My brother in law sang I'm going to be somebody someday one of these days I'm going to break these chains I'm going to be somebody someday, You can bet your hard earned dollar I will.

He then started singing it again singing only those words. No one else seemed to see him and my memories I have from all my life started flooding in making it even weirder because I was at least 10 years younger if not more. So the meaning seems very difficult to understand at least to me.

"I'm going to be somebody someday. One of these days I'm going to break this chains. I'm gonna be somebody someday you can bet your hard earned dollar I will"

Those words have echoed in my head all day. Maybe the dream doesn't mean anything. However, it's very weird what happened.
 
And you find wisdom in seeking dream interpretation from random strangers on a web site as opposed to keeping it quiet and praying that, if it is from God, that He will reveal it in His time? Because there are always people here who are ready to 'interpret' every dream anyone posts without distinction or discernment over whether or not it IS from God.
But you have no way of knowing how valid or not these 'interpretations' are. I find bringing such things, that can so easily be influenced by sources not provided by God, to a public place and asking just anyone to find the meaning leaves you open to so much that is not from God, but not having any way to know it. So you can easily be duped into following the wrong things.
 
You're right. I tend to do everything wrong. I post things I shouldn't. I tend to have wwars start up over asking a simple question. I pray to God to show me what something means or tell me what He wants me to do in the church. What my calling is etc. I either don't know what to do as far as listening or it is the answer wait. I see where you are coming from. So in the future I'll just keep my mouth shut. I don't get someone saying I'm doing something I shouldn't at least.

What more intepretation do you need? You already got the answer right there
 
That could be possible demi. I mean my whole life I've had countless people tell me how worthless I am and not going to amount to anybody. That song brought me to tears because that's how I've felt my whole life. I kept saying to myself that I will be somebody someday and show everyone that I am important. It's possible that's what Jesus is trying to reveal to me. That with Him I am finally that somebody. My chains are now being broken through Him. With Him I'm going to be used for something great. Who knows. I mean it's possible. It's just so hard for me to see me being used for amything great. I am trying to heal from my scars. I'm a broken mess, but God can mend anything. I need to start genuinely believing that truth.
 
​In this post you just gave yourself the full intepretation of your dream :) With a lil help but you got it. Well done

Yes, the 'nice' thing is to let people be guided by random strangers online. Wouldn't want wisdom or truth slipping in when we can be nice and Christian instead. Or maybe go the BDF way, where you hang out, and just call him names and tell him he's not saved, you mean nice like that? Guess i screwed that up since i never once insulted him. I suppose wisdom and not insulting were my mistakes. I need to learn to be more Christian so i can be nice and insult more people.

Interesting dream. Here's how to think of it:

God says He will establish His word to us thru 2 or more witnesses. If this is a vision from God then there should be at least 1 correlating 'event' in your life to confirm it. Like someone at church who wouldn't know better saying something related to it. Maybe your brother in law innocently sings that song the next time you see him. Or the Bible falls open to a relevant passage. That is another test, is there anything in the dream that is unscriptural? Since there is no new revelation (what we have today are new applications of existing revelation), you should look to see if it is scriptural or not. And finally, does it in the end somehow glorify God? satan will never do anything that glorifies God, and rarely will the flesh. If the dream can follow it's glory all the way up the food chain to Jehovah God, that's another good sign.

And, like you said, sometimes dreams are just dreams. Intercranial information management :)

You can apply these tests to a lot of things besides dreams. Like discerning if gifts and signs and wonders are real or faked. satan loves faking gifts signs and wonders. And he's going to fake them to you to try and keep you fooled. But I think you're the real thing; I'd bet my hard earned dollar that these chains are broke and you're gong to be somebody someday. Heck, you belong to God now - you already are!

My apologies, I didn't mean to say you insulted him, you didn't. I'm saying you're a little rough around the edges, and this is one guy I think who has had enough of rough around the edges.
 
The way things are said is a big deal. I would've had no problem with. I would advise not seeking opinions from just anyone. It's the way you say it is all. See how much ddifferent that sounds? Furthermore I can be partly to blame. Because of my autistic mind I took it as an attack on me. I have problems with my mind. I react that way with anyone. If I perceive it as an attack I get defensive hopefully you understand.
 

Hi again rbd

I wouldn’t sweat being used for something ‘great’ - or small.

Not everyone is going to be Mother Teresa – an encouraging word to a struggling brother can work wonders.

Christ said of the poor widow who threw in 2 mites in the collection plate (a pittance) that she gave ‘all’.

The bible also says if u do a good work do it in secret so only u and God know. So many people ‘do good’ so their name will be out there – God doesn’t care about that.

Don’t get frustrated if the answers don’t come all at once brother.
