Bible Question (short): Are my dreams from God or bad pizza? |
Question (full): Recently, I had a very moving dream, which seemed symbolic in nature. It also seems to me that God gave me an interpretation of it. I wrote it down and stuck it in my Bible to see if the issues I believe the dream represented will play out the way the dream seems to indicate they will. (It is too soon yet to know if they will.) Last night, my wife had a very disturbing dream, which also seemed very symbolic. Sitting on the edge of the bed, I prayed that God would help me to understand her dream. Then suddenly it seemed that the interpretation was obvious. I told my wife about the interpretation, and she found it very unnerving. I don't think I'm any kind of prophet or anything, but could God be talking to me through dreams? If so, how would I know? (I can tell you that the interpretations to the dreams do align with Scriptural principles.) I know that, in Scripture, God has often used dreams to convey a message (i.e. Joseph and Pharoah; Daniel and Nebuchadnezzar; Peter). I just don't want to be guilty of presuming to be hearing things that God is not giving to me, I guess. I could post the dreams and my interpretations of them if this would help. |
