What Is Dream?
A dream is an encounter experienced in spirit, while sleeping. Normally, when we sleep, it is the body that rests, but the spirit does not sleep. It is always wide awake.
Is Dream Real?
Yes dreams are 100% real, perfectly real. Even bad dreams are real, but one should pray against their manifestation. Dreams are not mere wishes; they are not irrelevant messages or fever dreams. Dream is a real life experience that takes place in spirit, just like everyday encounter.
Does God Speak To Us Through Dreams?
Yes, God speaks to humanity through dreams. Other means of communication with God are: vision, trance, telepathy, pre-recognition foresight, oracle, etc.
Why Does God Speak To People In Dreams?
The answer is very simple. He speaks to us through dreams because that is the time people are ready to pay attention and hear what God is saying to them. During the day, people are busy running up and down, engaging in one form of activity or the other, disturbed by the cares and worries of every day life, and carried away by their various desires.
But at night, all the distractions are no longer there. The heart, mind and spirit are free. A wise man speaks to people only when they are ready to pay attention and here what he is telling them. It is only a fool who would continue to speak to a fellow who is not paying attention to him.
Job explains it correctly,
14 For God may speak in one way, or in another,
Yet man does not perceive it.
15 In a dream , in a vision of the night,
When deep sleep falls upon men,
While slumbering on their beds,
16 Then He opens the ears of men,
And seals their instruction.
17 In order to turn man from his deed,
And conceal pride from man,
18 He keeps back his soul from the Pit,
And his life from perishing by the sword.
Job 33:14-18
Also, God confirms it, saying,
during the day time, I called, you did not listen
2 Why, when I came, was there no man?
Why, when I called , was there none to answer?
Isaiah 50:2
12 "But go now to My place which was in Shiloh, where I set My name at the first, and see what I did to it because of the wickedness of My people Israel. 13 And now, because you have done all these works," says the LORD, "and I spoke to you, rising up early and speaking, but you did not hear, and I called you, but you did not answer, 14 therefore I will do to the house which is called by My name, in which you trust, and to this place which I gave to you and your fathers, as I have done to Shiloh. 15 And I will cast you out of My sight, as I have cast out all your brethren — the whole posterity of Ephraim.
Jeremiah 7:12-15
Scope Of Dreams
Your dreams cover the following in scope:
- The past, present and the future.
- The physical, mental and spiritual aspect of life.
- The earthly dimension and heavenly planes.
- Both true and false dreams. The more you grow in spirit, the more false dreams phase out of your life.
- Interpersonal and societal relationship.
- Revelations from God.
- Biological and physical dimensions.
- Family and group dynamic.
Why Do People Forget There Dreams?
People forget their dreams because of the following reasons:
- Weakness
When the body is very weak or tired, it is hard to remember the night dreams. Jesus suffered the same problem, saying, “The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.”
- Negligence
If people do not value their dreams, the tendency is to forget the dreams and call them mere fantasies.
- Limitations Of The Physical Body
The body organs and facilities are sluggish, compared to the powers of the spirit. In fact, when we are in spirit, the senses are greatly enhanced. You can see very far and wide, you can see in all directions, you can move very fast, you can travel to distant places, you can also see in darkness, etc. But once you wake up, your senses become so diminished in their functions and capacity that you forget so many things.
- Deletion By Guardian Angels
Your guardian Angels may decide to delete certain things from your memory, if it is deletion is necessary. Such deletions are made out of love, truth and wisdom.
- Deletion By The Evil Spirit
The evil spirit can also delete memories before you wake up. They perform the deletion out of hatred, wickedness and falsehood (lies) in other to posses, manipulate and mislead a person. That is why you should develop a strong prayer habit. When you pray very well, the light of the Holy Spirit and make the evil spirits flee away.
- Procrastination
Those who keep record of their dreams may forget the dreams when they procrastinate and fail to record the dreams. “I will write it in the morning after I wake up,” Another can says, “I will not forget this one because it is very clear.” But then, many forget when they wake up.
- Talkativeness
Generally, it is advisable to talk less. The less you talk during the day, the more your spirit grows and the more you are able to remember your dreams. Avoid useless chatter and jokes; talk only when it is necessary to do so.
How To Remember Dreams
You can remember your dreams by the following ways:
- Recognize The Importance Of Dreams
Understand that your dream means that God is talking to you. This is the simple truth. It does not matter whether you believe it or not. Truth remains what it is, whether you believe it or not.
- Avoid Negligence
When you neglect your dreams, you allow the evil spirits to be talking to you. That is when you start getting all kinds of devilish dreams, nightmares, horrors, dream meals, etc.
- Pray About Your Dreams
Pray for the good ones to manifest. Also, pray to God to cancel the bad ones. When you pray seriously, the light of the Holy Spirit surrounds you always, such that the evil spirits are afraid of you. They shy away from you, and flee from your presence.
- Pray For Remembrance
Pray God to give you the spirit of retentive memory, so that you will always remember your dreams. You may remember immediately or later.
- Pray For A Repeat
If you forget a dream, pray for it to be repeated. It may be repeated. It may be repeated immediately, the same day or later on another day. The repeat may not be exactly as the first, but it will surely mean the same thing or confirm the first dream message.
- Keep A Record Book On Your Bed
Place it behind you or at the head of the bed. In this way, you can easily reach it and record dream messages at night.
- Think About The Forgotten Dreams
Thinking is like praying. It is like asking the Angels about the points and details of a matter. That is why premeditated thought brings into manifestation events and opportunity for real life encounter or Success.
- Eat Balanced Diet
By eating balanced diet with good nutrition, your body becomes more dynamic, more agile and more responsive to rise in the bed and record dreams message.
- Avoid Over Eating
Over eating becomes a burden to the body. It makes the body weak, tired and sluggish. While in that condition, you cannot easily rise up from the bed to record your dreams.
- Make Sketches Where Necessary
At times, it is good and better to make a drawing of what you have seen in dreams. The reason is that words are not enough to narrate spiritual realities. For example, in spirit, there are so many colours and designs which are not seen in the world. Such colours and designs cannot be described with words or called by name. That is why some people say that they saw “good and wonderful colours,” or a beautiful design that is indescribable.
- Return To Your Sleep Posture
You may to return to your sleep posture before you can remember a dream. Also, identify the best posture that enables you to have memorable dreams and pleasant experiences
The Best Solution
- Live a righteous life.
- Pray for the fulfillment of your good dreams. Also, pray for the cancellation of all your bad dreams. This is the general and best remedy, available to every one, whether you remember your dreams or not.
