DREAMS and their meanings

[georgesbluegirl]

Dreams are awesome! God can speak to people in their dreams, I guess (although this has never happened to me), but dreams are generally manifestations of the unconscious. It's a good idea to write them down, usually they'll clue you in to the state of your mind, emotions, etc. that you would ignore or not realize otherwise.

I've had a teacher for several years who is great at interpreting dreams (she studies Jung, who is very cool), and she's taught us some basic stuff. Many symbols that appear in dreams are universal archetypes, so it's possible to analyze dreams as a whole.

Now, I don't know much about your dream other than the plot (usually it helps to know specific emotions, reactions etc) but it's clear that it's NOT about something that will happen, dreams aren't usually literal foretellings. The rape theme usually suggests a warning that you are feeling overpowered or abused by something, that you are powerless to control something in your life. Being chased usually suggests that you're trying to get away from something you don't think that you can conquer (or insecurity). My initial response was that you were dealing with your masculine unconscious that had been for some reason repressed (maybe because you don't assert those qualities?) but the fact that the guy in the dream is from your past gave me the idea that maybe something from your past that you'd put behind you is lingering in your mind and you're dwelling on it. You might not even know what it is - it could be something that will pop up in a little while. But it seems like there is something you're trying to forget that is somehow frightening because you can't suppress it and you know it'll come up sooner or later.

My disclaimer is right here: I've only been doing this for a few years so it's entirely possible that I'm off with this. But I'm interested to know if this fits you. The archetypes in your dream are pretty common ones, so it seems fairly clear.

Peace!

O my dear, your dream has very important spiritual significance. I am not going into details, cause the thread will be removed again. But take my advice. Involve your self in spiritual warfare the best way you know how. And break and renounce any and all evil covenants and agreements (thru dreams,  spoken words or did) both  known and unknown, conscious and unconscious.  God aloud  this dream for reason, ask Him to show you what to do step by step, in order to remove the grounds from the enemy, and to give you wisdom and understanding to receive what He is going to reveal to you. God bless you.

Agape.

Irene.

georgesbluegirl, thankyou for your post. You've had a lot of good things to say here and I read your post twice.

I feel that the Lord has already shown me what the dream means. I don't think it's anything from my past at all or anything that is repressed. Your idea of writing it down is a great idea. I had never thought of doing that before.

I've placed it in the Lord's hands and I know if I do what is necessary myself, that the Lord will take care of it for me. I don't feel that I am in harms way, rather I feel that the Lord may be revealing or verifying something to me that I've needed to know.

Thankyou. I really enjoyed your post.

Yeah, definitely write your dreams down, try to do it right after you wake up because that's when you remember them clearest, and the more detail, the easier they are to figure out! Plus writing them down focuses on them and helps you experience and remember them better in the future. It's pretty far out.

Peace.

Satan cannot read anyones mind, there is only one heart knower and that is God.

Show me where satan can influence a dream using scripture.

It was extremely rare for God to speak to anyone in a dream.

Please show me where the ideas of dreams coming to people from God is a normal occurance and not an exceptional occurance using scripture.

Jer 29:8 For thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Let not your prophets and your diviners, that be in the midst of you, deceive you, neither hearken to your dreams which ye cause to be dreamed.

We will see in the next verse that God says to revear Him, and that your dreams are vanities

Ecc 5:7 For in the multitude of dreams and many words there are also divers vanities: but fear thou God.

Where does God say we get our dreams from?

Ecc 5:3 For a dream cometh through the multitude of business; and a fool's voice is known by multitude of words.

What else does God say causes dreams?

Isa 29:8 It shall even be as when an hungry man dreameth, and, behold, he eateth; but he awaketh, and his soul is empty: or as when a thirsty man dreameth, and, behold, he drinketh; but he awaketh, and, behold, he is faint, and his soul hath appetite: so shall the multitude of all the nations be, that fight against mount Zion.

Just like I tried to tell you earlier, dreams are caused by too much on the mind, bad food combining, eating too late at night, and the like. satan would love it if we all thought our dreams were from God, but that isn't what God is telling us!

FALSE PROPHETS Pretended to have dreams from God in

Jer_23:25-28; Jer_29:8;

The observance of ordinary dreams and the consulting of those who pretend skill in their interpretation are repeatedly forbidden.

Deu_13:1-3; Deu_18:9-14. -Jer_27:9;

and are condemned for pretending to have them from God in

Jer_23:32;

they consult magicians on their dreams and God is against it in

Gen_41:8; Dan_2:2-4;

God is the only interpreter of dreams in

Gen_40:8; Gen_41:16; Dan_2:27-30; Dan_7:16;
