Many figures in the Bible are said to have been visited by God while they slept.Examining your dreams through a biblical lens can help you understand what God is saying to you, and gain comfort and wisdom through his message.
Step 1: Write about the dream.
Write everything down.It will be easier to remember details if you practice remembering your dreams.It's important that you remember the place, people, and objects.God will make it very noticeable to you if a particular detail is important.Numbers, direction, colors, and animals are some of the symbols that may be important.Positive or negative symbols can be found in a dream.The symbols in your dream have to be revealed by the Holy spirit.
Step 2: Evaluate the feelings you have.
A dream can be exciting, sad, or alarming, but usually there is an emotional response that you feel towards a remembered dream.The emotional responses occurred in the dream sequence.Write down your feelings for people and objects.If a certain object made you afraid, or if you felt drawn to a figure, make sure to mention it in your dream.
Step 3: Ask yourself when the dream happens.
Dreams can include memories, current life events, and things that are yet to come.The dream is probably in the past if you are younger and surrounded by people you used to know.You may be dreaming about a time in the future if you don't know where you are.You can pray for healing if God gives you a dream about an incident that happened in the past and that creates pain in your life.
Step 4: Determine if the dream is about you or someone else
In the dream, pay attention to your perspective and interactions.If you didn't speak or interact with those around you, they may have been just observing or witnessing the events.It might be a vision to warn you of something happening.It is most likely that the dream is meant to influence you or your life if you feel yourself as the central figure.
Step 5: Refer to the colors of objects in your dreams.
The characteristics of symbols are represented by different colors.The religious significance of colors is associated with them.Blue is the color associated with the Virgin Mary, as she is depicted in a blue dress.It shows good health and grace.
Step 6: Make sure you pay attention to animals.
Positive and negative significance can be found in animal symbols in the bible.The Lion of Judah symbolizes Jesus.The devil is depicted as prowling like a lion in the bible.Cats can be seen as comforting or evil.Positive or negative meanings can be found in dogs.They are either symbolic of unbelievers or man's best friend.
Step 7: Look for numbers that are significant.
The numbers may appear in a written form, but they will most likely be a specific number of objects.Joseph interpreted the dream Pharaoh had in the bible.In the dream, Pharaoh sees cows eating cows.Joseph sees the dream as predicting seven years of famine.Try to understand what's happening.If you see five golden rings, it can be seen as 5 days, weeks, months or years.There are five evil kings of Israel.It could be a sign that your family members are in heaven.To uncover the true meaning of the dream, you have to look at the number in the context.
Step 8: There are objects of religious significance.
When interpreting your dreams, there are many items that seem ordinary.A cross, bread and wine, and a burning bush are some of the obvious objects.Other objects are still significant despite being less obvious.Ordinary examples could include an apple, coins, or candles.A symbol is an object that seems important in a dream.
Step 9: Don't use a standard dictionary for dream symbols.
If you want to understand the significance of objects or symbols in your dreams, you should look at how they relate to the scriptures.A goat is most often associated with unrepentant sinners and oppressors, but standard dream dictionaries can also interpret a goat as symbolic of prosperity.
Step 10: Evaluate the symbol
Consider the meanings of the symbols and how they relate to your situation.God may have made a religious dream for you so that it will speak to you.You will most likely find the hidden meaning in the symbols if you examine them enough.
Step 11: If the dream is symbolic, decide if it is real.
It could be a symbolic meaning if you dream that someone is going to die.It could be symbolic of cutting ties with someone if they have died in a dream.Different people have different religious symbols in their dreams.There are serpents or snakes.Nakedness is a representation of close relationship with God.The state of your spirit can be seen in the disrepair of houses.These symbols are common in dreams.
Step 12: The day before the dream, ask yourself what you were feeling.
If there are any aspects of your life where you feel the same emotions that you experienced in the dream, consider it.If you are under a lot of stress, your dream may be your way of processing the day while you sleep.Sometimes you have a dream that seems religious, but it doesn't feel like a message.It may not be worth stressing out over the interpretation if it doesn't seem significant.
Step 13: Pray for a good dream.
Look deeper and ask God what he is trying to teach you if the dream seems important.Sometimes a religious dream can be a challenge to find the truth.Don't ignore a dream just because it's hard to understand.Seek out the answer in the bible.Do you think this is an answer to a question you have asked God?Through a dream, God can give you answers.
