Hi everyone,

You know scientist say everyone has dreams.  Some people say they don't.  I think its just a recollection problem with these people, but anyway I remember about 90% of all my dreams and I love it when God speaks to me through dreams.  Sometimes its some words that are said by someone in the dream that i vividly remember or the dream is a event or scenario that either I go through or I see through someone elses eyes.

I love it when its me going through it.  I have the ability to control my dreams, i don't know when it started, maybe a few years ago or so, but if something is going to happen in the dream and i don't want it to happen (like if im about to fall off a cliff or something)  i cant stop it--- better put i can make decisions in my dreams i.e. whats right from wrong. I can even, while in a dream--dream or think--- by carefully thinking/playing out the scenario and judging the pros and cons of the action about to take.  And this happens like it happens in real life, you know how you can playout awhole scenario in yo head before you do something in what seems to be a split second.  You know ---think before you act, then act like you thought about it--- that's our company's safety slogan.

Its great because God can let me go through something in a dream instead of real life to learn a lesson.  you just don't know how appreciative i am for that.  I only had to suffer the consequence in my dream.

This just popped in my head while i was typing (maybe this is God)---"Hey so you have freewill in your dreams now, huh".

NO I don't if you think about it because If it is God trying to let me know something, i couldn't choose the opposite of what he was trying to teach me.

Anyway back to the topic.  Most of the time, only through the Grace of God and our Saviour Jesus Christ, i can interpret the dream.  But this has always just been on a personal level---No Hal Lindsey here, thank Goodness ;). 

Question:  For the first time in my life i had a dream where i could fly about month or so ago.  what does that mean?

I just wanna thank God through Jesus right now for giving me this ability and I hope he will continue blessing with this.

Peace and Love to all,

Anthony

p.s.  Has anyone else had a dream maybe when you were younger and had the same dream when you got older, but this time able to change the outcome.   Or better stated, has anyone had the same dream more than once or twice and able to change it.

Hi again Anthony,
 ;D
Somewhat, but Maybe not entirely alone.  I have had reoccurring dreams.  One I have had most my Life is with my Mother and I, renovating a dilapidated house, knowing a storm was coming.  And when I first met my Husband I kept having nightmares of him cheating on me.  But I haven't had one of those in a long time. Those seems pretty easy to understand.

I have had allot of dreams about acting out in my addiction, always giving in to temptation.  Always powerless to stop it.  I use to think about why I was such a Loser.  Now I believe it is a gift to teach me humility, hopefully someday I will learn it well and the Lord willing he will remove it from me.

Your ability in your dreams may be your everyday ability to calculate the outcome before reacting to a situation.  Are you like that?  Or it maybe you really feel powerless in your life, and this ability in your dreams is feeding your ego. I would encourage you to pray to God to give you the interpretation of these dreams. In the scripture God gives the meanings like a parable in symbols.  I am thinking of Joseph and the Pharaoh....

Some advise I heard that has helped me with vivid dreams, is to see yourself as every person in your dream.

I'd be interested to know what God reveals to you?

The Bible does say that your "old men shall dream dreams". (no offense :D) Wasn't Josephs dream doubled twice??
Dreams are fascinating to be sure.  I just don't know how deep to get into them.  I dream of flying but always losing altitude ;D.  Bears are always evil in my dreams.  I dream frequently of dead relatives :o  But the MOST frequent and troubling of ALL my dreams ARE:: (DRUM ROLL PLEASE)

BEING LATE TO CLASS AND NOT REMEMBERING MY LOCKER COMBINATION!!!!!!! :P

a close second is TEACHING A CLASS OF ABOUT 50 WILD CRAZY CHILDREN AND I AM FILING MY NAILS AND THE PRINCIPAL IS ON THE WAY!! :( >:(

aS  to whether we have free will in our dreams I can honestly say I have never thought about that!!

Dave in Tenn:
For several years (not every night, but every few months) I had a dream (very vivid) that I had committed a horrible crime and that bodies were buried.  It was so vivid that I felt guilt for days that I had actually done these things.  Every recurrence of it added a bit more to the story and, yes, I was able to alter/replay some of the events.  It would have made a chilling screenplay, but I never wrote it down.  I wasn't in any shape to consider any spiritual ramifications, but I believe it DID have something to do with preparing me to admit my sinfulness to God. 

I've dreamed entire song lyrics and been fortunate enough to awake and remember them to write down.  On the other hand, I've lost many many more by not being able to remember.

As often as not, my dreams are just funny and I sometimes wake up laughing.  I like to have a good time, but I am by no means overly jovial so I don't really understand that.  Maybe it has to do with seeing the absurdities of life and poking pins in pomposity in a place where you can get away with it. 

Maybe it's a chance to walk a bit on the other side since too often our lives are straight-jacketed by jobs, responsibilities, expectations and we get to experience something 'other'. 

Then sometimes you just find yourself at school with no pants on.   :D
