Snackersmommy, you are preaching to the choir with me. I have such a fine relationship with God that when things are going wrong, unpeaceful, or, even, attacking (from Satan) God shows up. Countless times, when I have been really in the dumps for something something happens. And, it is hard to explain in words, but I will try to explain so lightnin' and deej and all the c.c. world can understand better what dreams mean to me.
I don't like to have to untreasure my sunken thoughts like this , but I will unearth a dream I had recently....
Part of my work is dealing with precious metals and I have a considerable amount stored and I was cashing it in all 2011 , until September. At that time I stopped because part of my work involves dealing with merchandise and I received a nice lot of merchandise to sell. So, for the past two months, I have been strictly focusing on merchandise work and not precious metal work.
Anyway, the market for gold, copper, etc. metals has been very volatile (prices fluctuating between high prices and low in short amounts time) . Now, this is important to me, that I am being smart with the wealth God has given me. I could care less, too, if it all was stolen or whatever. I ask for God to protect it + have it in locked storage camera security. I also pray for the blood of Christ protection over my stuff, that is great peace of mind too and God's honored my asking too because I have a lot of nice stuff in the open and it never gets stolen more than little stuff. All God? You bet. Prayer!
Anyway, I recently watched the gold price drop to 1600s from 1800s and that was clue for me to SELL !
Well, I was on the verge of selling my metals , probably the next day, and, didn't want to, for 2 reasons:
1) I was in the middle of merchandise selling and switching to metals would be difficult to do quickly.
2) I was selling timely merchandise and selling it quickly was important.
So, what happened. I had a dream, that blacks and whites and yellows and reds would eat from the same plates. I had a dream, that inequality of OH, WAIT, sorry , that wasn't my dream
I had a dream that told me to Hoooooold On For One More Day. Thinngs would gooooo my way. No, not really, that was Wilson-Phillips that had that dream , although when I was crying in college because I was told my summer job at a major daily was gone because of telling the boss of the whole newspaper she looked nice in her 'faded yellow dress,' THAT SONG was playing in my pick up as I cried big tear drops the size of Snackers.
Anyway, Yeah, the consternation feeling of selling my metals or not was greeted with distinct MEANING in a dream not to sell.
Soooooo, that said, Lightning, you can believe whatever you want , but I choose to believe this was ONE MORE instance of God guiding me

.
And, snackersmom even more so had a dream harder to disprove because her dream came at a time that warned/foretold (does it matter if it was one or the other?) her of impending doom, IF NO, JUST KIDDING! I don't have a clue of what her dream was, but she knows and , truly, really, deej, and, lightnin', that is all she will ever need to know.
I will warn you two though. Lest you want to have a millstone tied around your neck and tossed seaward, I would really get it through your obvious very thick skulls that encouraging people in any way, shape, or, form to have a situation they see from God STRONG that you choose to MITIGATE, don't.
I encourage you to go read the purity ring thread too , because I list a couple verses related to the 'millstone. God speaking more than your heart will become heavy IF you cause a 'little one' to sin. So, snackersmom is not a little one nor is I nor is anyone else , like Lifeliker, but I personally would not want to cause a 'big one' to stumble too . Being serious, no of my green smiley face although I do put it kinda funny don't I?
But, Yeah, deej, lightnin', whether a dream is true or not someone dreams is DEBATEABLE, hey, even, if an angel saves you from death after a car wreck does NOT prove you WILL go to Heaven after you die, you MUST DO WHAT? BELIEVE.
SO, DREAMS, they, as I said earlier, by humans BEING FROM GOD is a FAITH thing and part of your personal relationship with Christ which He wants with each one of His sheep.
You can choose to believe your dreams help your life come true or not, but I would be very, very, VERY careful in telling others their dreams are NOT from God.
The Lord leads, I pray my words , though cutting, help you deepen your faith in God, lightning, deej, that you see your dreams, and, consequently your lives, guys, in a whole new Light.
