Dreams... A question or thought

Now I'm curious about this and it maybe off topic and perhaps not belonging here but I was wondering:

Has anyone else ever woken up from a dream crying and grief stricken? I've woken up from several dreams where in them, I am crying for what has happened (Truth be told, over the actions I have committed in my dream. Actions which I've never done in the real world... THANK GOD). Its been about three dreams now over the course of my lifetime. Four perhaps at max but its always because of the same action I've committed in these dreams.

Anyway.. its the strangest thing to wake up eyes completely soaked in tears because in your dream you were crying. Its like, I'm crying in my dream for what has happened only to wake up realizing, I was literally crying too. The dream had such power on my emotions that my tears carried over into the real world where I my body was crying the tears that I was crying in my dream.

Anybody at all experienced this? Its the craziest thing!

Have felt various emotions of being sad and happy and also scared at times but not crying. Once when I was very sad I went to bed crying and went off to sleep and waking up in the morning I was still crying but not from a dream. I have had dreams of being in a place so wonderful that I was upset to wake up and not being in that place.

I feel whether good or bad it is God working in us and shaping us to what He wants and we don't always understand it. I felt the ones of being in a wonderful place was an encouragement of something better yet to come.

What a blessing Rhys. I've never had a dream where I woke up with elation or disappointed that I had woken up... The closest thing i've had is the ones where I'm flying! Now THAT is fun :P

I'm sure too that our minds play a part in our dreams and what we are going through at the time. Some of my most terrible dreams seem to of been when things not going well in the day and I don't get much sleep then I get a few hours of sleep with awful dreams. All is of God and He knows what He is doing. If they bother you like they do me sometimes I ask God about it and I get a sense of why I had them but then not all the time. I just focus more now on God's word and what He says and not what the dream says and know that we are not under condemnation.

Rom 8:1  There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.

We should always seek God through everything whether dreams or what goes on in the day. Just talk to God as you feel and tell Him your concerns. He will show us what He wills for us.

God is not limited in how He can speak and we don't get it, so we keep seeking because He wants us to see Him and less of ourselves. To come to a knowledge of His truth takes much in this life and in His word.

Job 33:14  For God speaks in one way, and in two, though man does not perceive it.
Job 33:15  In a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep falls on men, while they slumber on their beds,
Job 33:16  then he opens the ears of men and terrifies them with warnings,

Dave in Tenn:
I've told before of a recurring dream where I was guilty of some heinous act and each time I dreamed it, the 'story' progressed a little further.  I've probably had it maybe a half-dozen times since my early 30's or so.  I'm not one to put too much stock into dreams, but I can say that this one in particular had the effect of softening me in many ways.  Since it had that 'effect' I can understand what the purpose of God was in having it.  Other dreams, less so.  Some dreams, like some other things, may be worth "thinking on" and trying to understand.  Some dreams, like many other things, are simply part of what makes up my life, and that is perfectly fine.  The clay doesn't have to know the exact purpose for every spin of the potter's wheel.  The Potter knows what He's doing, and that has to be good enough for me.
