Do Dreams Tell The Future? by chivaley(f): 10:44am On Jun 21, 2012 |
Hi folks. How significant do you think dreams are? Can they tell the future? Are they meant to help us ward off impending doom? Does God warn us through our dreams? Real experiences are welcome as well. |
Re: Do Dreams Tell The Future? by kwenu: 1:24pm On Jun 21, 2012 |
Good post Chivaley, yeah dreams are so important, God talk to us through dreams, warns us of future event to come, study your bible, there you ll see and understand better, i am a living testimony, have had dreams, seen God in my dreams, i saw Gods presence there, fought spiritual battles in my dreams with the help of the Holyspirit,ect. So called demon spirits principalities and powers are very much visible in dreams, in your dreams you see them clearly. Dreams are more clearer than visions if u ask me I have been attacked several times in my dreams, this calls for me to be alert I have lots of testimonies i can give you but time will not permit me. I once had an experience when i was been escorted by the spirit of death into an estate, there was nobody in that estate, there along the journey a trap was laid to destroy me, probably to get me killed, but along the road the Holy spirit rescued me off the scene. if someone is to die in this real life he or she will first be killed there in the realm of the spirit(Dream) before dying phisically here on earth. if i had not yeild to the instructions of the holyspirit, i could have been history today. If someone is to get infected with a disease in this real life, it does first occur in the spirit realm (dream). the infection will likely come from a demon there.maybe by having sex in your dream with that demon (that can be the staged attack by the enemy)and if the attack is carried out succesfully by the enemy and the victim wakes up and does not undertand his or her dream before leaving for daily routine, then its likely that the next mistake to be made from hat person will result to disaster such as as health problems will occur. i am confident of this as a fact in such a matter like this, God is not to be blamed for the consequence because he already warned the victim before the problem occured. I once had a dream where an angel who have given me money once showed up the second time in dream and called for my attention,i woke up and did understand the dream, there i noticed that it was the same angel who once gave me money that visited again in my dream, there i stood up from my bed and went into my sitting room there i found money. My uncle who died years back 2008, happened to first go through financial crisis and then later my mother had a dream of him. she saw his brother in a dream , ascending from a valley, while he was ascending down . he disappeared in that dream. because the dream wasnt well understood and taken seriously. 6months later he died. Abraham Lincoln: Three days prior to his assassination, Abraham Lincoln related a dream he had to his wife and a few friends. According to Ward Hill Lamon, one of the friends who was present for the conversation, the president said: "About ten days ago, I retired very late. I had been up waiting for important dispatches from the front. I could not have been long in bed when I fell into a slumber, for I was weary. I soon began to dream. There seemed to be a death-like stillness about me. Then I heard subdued sobs, as if a number of people were weeping. I thought I left my bed and wandered downstairs. There the silence was broken by the same pitiful sobbing, but the mourners were invisible. I went from room to room; no living person was in sight, but the same mournful sounds of distress met me as I passed along. I saw light in all the rooms; every object was familiar to me; but where were all the people who were grieving as if their hearts would break? I was puzzled and alarmed. What could be the meaning of all this? Determined to find the cause of a state of things so mysterious and so shocking, I kept on until I arrived at the East Room, which I entered. There I met with a sickening surprise. Before me was a catafalque, on which rested a corpse wrapped in funeral vestments. Around it were stationed soldiers who were acting as guards; and there was a throng of people, gazing mournfully upon the corpse, whose face was covered, others weeping pitifully. 'Who is dead in the White House?' I demanded of one of the soldiers, 'The President,' was his answer; 'he was killed by an assassin.' Then came a loud burst of grief from the crowd, which woke me from my dream. I slept no more that night; and although it was only a dream, I have been strangely annoyed by it ever since." Lots of other cases, but time will not permit me to write them up here, i shall me making more research on about dreams soon. By the grace of God almighty. Please do not Joke with your dreams, its instruction from the Holy spirit. 8 Likes |

I once dreamt my mother died (when she was alive) and told my family. We prayed against it and it was later forgotten. WHen shed died & I was at her burial everything came back in the form of a deja vu. It was quite traumatic for me. I do believe dreams can be used to foretell the future. I also believe God sometimes alters the future through dreams. Consider the fact that a dream which woke Hitler up saved him from an untimely death. |

chivaley: Hi folks. How significant do you think dreams are? Dreams are very significant in the last days. The last days began on the day of Pentecost. Take a look at this: But this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel; And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams. Acts 2:16-17 Kjv So when the bible "This is That" and the reference is in connection to "the last days", it means the last days began on the day of Pentecost. And one of the tools by which the Lord will work when the Spirit is poured on all flesh is DREAMS. This is how significant dreams are in these last days. However, some (false teachers/prophets) are called filthy DREAMERS, Likewise also these [filthy] dreamers defile the flesh, despise dominion, and speak evil of dignities. Jude vs. 8 chivaley: YES, they can tell the future. In the case of Joseph. Also, the Lord showed me my future before I came to the USA. (My personal experience) and many more I might not be able to share here due to long story. chivaley: YES, In the case of Joseph escaping to Egypt with Jesus when he was born. chivaley: YES. It all depends the way God knows you will best understand a message He is passing across. Not everybody dreams to get a message though. 1 Like |

Thanks for all the replies so far. I started this thread because I have also had dreams that came true or bad ones I had to pray really hard to avert. But one further question house: What are dream symbols? I've heard a lot about them. If you guys will be kind enough to list some you are aware of, it would be nice. For instance I heard worms and maggots depict illness, rats depict poverty and oil depicts annointing. Any insights on dream symbols? |

@Uyi, sorry about your mum. I also dreamt of my dad's death before it happened or to put it correctly, I was informed in the dream same day he died. I was in my first year in uni. The next day my uncle came to give me the news, so I can relate with what you say. 1 Like |

Re: Do Dreams Tell The Future? by PhysicsQED(m): 5:12pm On Aug 16, 2012 |
I doubt it, but I wouldn't be that surprised if what someone fantasizes about happening to his self or fears about himself in dreams later comes to fruition in real life because the same subtle, unconscious instincts and motivations at work in his dreams would still be there at the back of his mind and influencing his other actions when he's fully awake. Just my two cents. 1 Like |

Yes,dreams are important,I knew my father was dying,because I saw it two days before it happened. Last year,it was my aunt,but the person I saw in the dream was my uncle(his younge brother). I have been saved a couple of times(like when I got to a park in my dream and met two people I had not seen in ages,boarded a bus and died via accident,then the day came,the events started unfolding like I saw in the dream, I changed buses and took another route,and passed that first bus on the road(accident occurred and the passengers were rushed to the hospital). I may not have the time,but it has saved me severally. |

I have 3 siblings living in Lagos, they have moved house and not given mum their new addresses (they say they are hiding their heads and I can't say I blame them). If mum is not careful, she will die a lonely woman.

Re: Do Dreams Tell The Future? by DeGrace01(m): 6:11pm On Aug 16, 2012 |
If u don't dream it u will not have it, Dreams tells our future, but we should be careful not to make mistake, We should always pray for or against any dream we hv as we are in a better position to determine our future. NOTE, not all dreams are to be taken serious as some will occure as a result of what happen or what we dicussed during the day, hence l recommend ardent prayers for every dream. Shallom!!! |
