I dream a lot of the time. most of the time I don't remember what it was about in the morning, I just know I dreamed. Or I wake in up the middle of the dream and think this is so good, I will remember it and don't later on....one night this spring, I dreamed, it seemed all night. I awakened, knowing that I had dreamed but only retained the message...
Then there are dreams that i wonder how does my mind work that way...so many pieces out together....or things I don't remember ever seeing or thinking or reading about are there, both good and bad.....or people from different times of my life coming together at one place...like the Norman Rockwell painting with all the people looking forward....
Or places I have never seen, then driving by them and thinking I have seen that place before, but it was in a dream....I rarely have bad dreams, but occasionally I do. I can't watch or read intense movies or books before bedtime....
When I dream, I know I won't have as much Fibromyalgia pain. When i don't dream for several night or have the impression that I haven't d reamed, I know there will be more pain...so I like dreaming.....just to rid the pain and the sleep is deeper, more restful.
In the Bible, it speaks of dreams early on...or deep sleep...Adam slept while God made him a wife...Joseph, gideon,and Daniel were interpreters of dreams for leaders....various people were warned in dreams to do or not to do certain things. Other saw visions that are recorded through its pages...
Both Joel and Acts speak of the last days...
Acts 2:17
“‘In the last days, God says, I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your young men will see visions, your old men will dream dreams.
There are array of books about dream interpretations....that hasn't been on my bucket list to read...I don't need something else to analyze right now...and I want truth from God's word....
So dream away...enjoy the ones He gives you, the rest that comes, the message that may come....rest in Him.....
Isaiah 29:8a
as when a hungry person dreams of eating, but awakens hungry still; as when a thirsty person dreams of drinking, but awakens faint and thirsty still....
Jeremiah 23:28a
Let the prophet who has a dream recount the dream, but let the one who has my word speak it faithfully.
