In ancient times people believed that dreams were of divine origin and could be used for both diagnosis and healing. This belief fell away until Sigmund Freud wrote “The Interpretation of Dreams” in 1900. Dreams are our subconscious mind speaking to us. By understanding what dreams mean, you can positively influence your health, relationships, creativity and spiritual development. Do you know you even get forewarning dreams that warn you of a future event? Source: lindaclarke.co.za
I really enjoy dreaming. My mind seems to be so clear and enlightened when I wake up each time, whether I understand my dreams or not. Most of my dreams now I can remember pretty well. When I could not remember the dreams or I just pick up some bits and pieces here and there, it seems like I did not have a restful sleep. I used to have some scary dreams, but now, most of my dreams are about people, places and things. I conditioned my mind through the help of praying to God not to have dreams that would scare me, but dreams that would help me understand a present situation. I've like to connect to God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, the Father of Jesus. When I became closer to God and started understanding His nature and His wisdom, my dreams became very clear since then.
One of my dreams that I still remember is when I was being guided by cherubim. They were flying above me guiding me in my sleep. Before that dream, and when I started learning about the Holy Spirit, I started having scary dreams. The most significant one was while in my bed dozing off, I started feeling something moving on top of me. I was so scared to look because I thought who on earth would be doing that if not the devil. When I got the courage to look, they were little demons.
I was so stunned and I tried to wake myself up and I was trying to scream. I called my mom who passed away, but nothing seemed to help. I could hear my husband downstairs as he was talking as a response to something he was watching on TV. I tried to call his name, but nothing seemed to come out from my mouth. I was so scared that I had to force myself to wake up. I knew that I was dreaming or was I? It was so realistic that it led me to pray to God so hard that night. And since then, the dream taught me to always pray to God every night and I mostly talk to Him about His protection in this world we live in. I started understanding and became aware that the world is full of evilness and the one that's lording over them will do anything to have men fall prey to his schemes. He will use his deception spiritually and he uses humans to do the work for him. That dream clearly etched in my awareness and left an imprint so clear, that it really made me realize our need for our Creator. No humans without the guidance of God can escape the power of the evil one. Spiritual reality has set in since then and making most of my dreams very clear when I wake up. Since then, when I analyze my dreams now, I believe that they are lessons for me to learn to apply in the real world. I still cannot identify which ones are dreams that are giving me warnings, not until incidents happened and I connected them to my dreams. Only then that I would I realize I had a dream or dreams that resembled what happened in the real world. I am still learning to know how I could tell they are warning signs for me to adhere to.
In the Bible, God gave many warning signs through visions from His faithful believers. But I'm careful of what the internet world offers about interpreting dreams. They could sound good but can lead a person away from the true God; they may lead a person back to the enemy's many traps instead and ensnare the deceived way deeper into his dominion.
