I just wanted to say thank you for this post. I just joined and I really needed to see someone's posts on dreams, and even visions. I've had dreams since I was a child, and was always able to discuss them with my dad until I understood ( if I didn't) what the Lord was trying to show me. Dad was older and wiser, and had also experienced dreams. I too, would like to add, simply.. if you do have this .... don't "seek" it. Seek God, anything He chooses to show you will come.
My dreams, lately, seems simply to be knowledge that the Lord wants to show me. I recently published a book that He laid on my heart, and will be attempting another one soon. In my dreams, due to the enemy trying to thwart anything that God does: I have been spiritually attacked... and only by His Name do I even attempt sleep. It isn't fun at all.. and I have noone to talk to anymore, who might understand. So.. I feel like I am a bit alone in this. Thanks for reminding me that I'm not.
