Christians and Jewish people please! Does God ever speak to you in your dreams?

Question

Do you think that God still uses this way to communicate with us like he did in ancient times? Have you had any experiences when you thought that God was using your dreams to tell you something?

Answer 1

My husband and I lost a son. He was stillborn at almost 20 weeks. Well, I was having a very hard time dealing with it. I was so depressed I could hardly get out of bed. I kept thinking it was all my fault and I was mad at God for taking him away from me. I didn't understand why it had happened and I thought I was being punished for something I had done.

Well, one night I had a dream. I was in a meadow, with flowers and high grass. There was a tree with a split trunk, part went up in the air and had lots of leaves. The other part was laying towards the ground and made a nice seat. I was sitting on the trunk and I looked over and there was a guy sitting here. I knew before I saw his face that it was my little boy. He started talking to me, told me that he was fine. He told me that what happened was supposed to happen. He told me that God loved me and that I had done nothing wrong. He told me there were problems with his body and that we would know soon what was wrong. He told me that he loved me and that I would be a mother again someday. I just had to be patient. He said there was no reason for me to be so sad. He was happy where he was, and he was with people who loved him and cared for him. He told me that all he needed was a body. I had given him that, so he didn't need to live life as we do. Then he gave me a hug, kissed me and was gone. I sat on the tree for a minute and just thought about what he had said, and I was so peaceful.

I woke up feeling happier and I knew that he was happy and where he needed to be. He only needed to be here for a short time, and then God called him home.

We found out about a month later, after the autopsy report came back that his liver wasn't formed right, wasn't producing the red blood cells it needed to, and his lungs weren't formed right. If I would have carried him to term, he wouldn't have made it.

Now I'm a mom of two beautiful little girls and we have a baby on the way. This whole experience has made me so grateful for my children, and for the blessings that I have. I know that God allowed him to visit me to tell me what I needed to hear at the time.

Answer 2

I've never had Him speak to me in a dream, but He has spoken to me, in a sense... God's communication with me has usually been feelings, a couple times it was almost a vision.

Once, a friend asked a question, and I saw just a tiny bit of what the result would be, and somehow, I just knew it wasn't going to turn out how either of us wanted it to. Now, I wish I would have answered that question differently.

Another time, I had a decision to make, I'd been thinking/praying about it for almost 3 months. One evening I was on my way home and was thinking about it, "What if my struggle making a decision is the answer? What if it's Option B, instead?..." I had the almost real sensation of an arm around my shoulders with an almost real voice that said, "You've chosen wisely, that's what I've been trying to tell you."

I 'd been dating this guy for a while, and he got a job offer with some really nice (short term) financial potential, but it required quite a bit of travel.... He wasn't sure if he should take the offer, so he asked me about it. Again with the almost real sensation- It was as if someone took hold of my shirt-front and panicky said, "NO!!! Don't let him go!!"... I told him I didn't think he should go, he didn't. Shortly thereafter, he proposed, and we've been married over 7 years.

Answer 3

I have only had one dream that was questionable. I can't be sure it wasn't me and my overactive subconscious though. It had an angel statue with a gold and silver sword, rescuing children in a future place and time, two ships with soldiers from China and America caught in a concrete filled harbor and war. It was pretty vivid and I have no idea if it meant anything at all or if it was something I ate. It was pretty thought provoking and I will never forget it.

To answer the second part, yes I think God can use dreams to communicate but doesn't usually do so because we have His word. That has enough in it to find something new every day in it's pages every day for the rest of our lives.

Answer 4

You can use this book and others like Understanding the dreams you dream by Ira Milligan that helps you interpret the symbols to see if it is God or just a dream, sometimes you can tell it is a dream from God. Like I was under the cross looking at Christ hanging there. I was then at the temple as the curtain was being torn. I have had dreams about scenes in revelations like the fire that comes on the earth. It is bright and burning , but does not touch me. Or a hurricane that gathers all of God's chosen on the Earth. Stuff like that.

Answer 5

I have fallen asleep and dreamed a sermon, woke up in the morning and remembered everything that was given to me in the dream.

I may think it was God, others might say that my mind was still working after I went to sleep and I dreamed it on my own.

In that dream, I was standing on the platform giving a sermon that I never wrote.
It was about four hours long, so I had enough to write an entire eight sermon series.

However I do not have to fall asleep, I remember one Saturday morning I was out mowing the yard, and while I was mowing another sermon was composed in my mind, and when I was through with the yard work, I went in and wrote the outline for the sermon.

Answer 6

Yeah. It's kind of funny though he or they were actually trying to confuse me. A few weeks later I finally got my mind straightened out and had a good laugh at myself.

This dream came a couple weeks after the ones that confused me. I was praying to God that I don't lose sight of what I wanted to be and that night he or they sent me this dream.

I had a dream that I was walking with my little brother in the mall, who was two months old. I actually don't have any siblings in real life, but I knew he was my little brother and that he was only two months old. Anyway he could walk and talk and was extremely bright.

I was so proud of him I wanted to show him off to everybody else, how amazing this little guy was. I started telling everybody he was more amazing than their kid and people began gathering around to see him. He got scared and ran away, and I couldn't find him anywhere. I was ashamed because I knew I had to keep an eye on him because I knew my parents were too old to look after him. As much as I looked and looked I couldn't find him.

When I woke up I realized this little guy was me. I had been really struggling with trying to sort my life out and become the honest, good person that I've always wanted to be. That's what this little guy represented. The older me represented who I am now and who I don't want to be, and obnoxious, vain show-off.

If I keep trying to show-off the honest, good person inside me I'll scare him off and lose him forever.

Answer 7

he's quoted as stating hell on particularly some activities. in spite of the undeniable fact that, the earliest variations of the Gospels we've are in Greek. Jesus might have spoken in Aramaic. So we don't comprehend no rely if he grow to be speaking approximately: a million) Hell. the region pronounced contained in the apocryphal e book of Enoch because of the fact the region of punishment for devil 2) Hades. The Greek seen a place of the ineffective. 3) Gehenna: The Jerusalem rubbish unload that grow to be invariably on fireplace. the in demand seen Hell (forget approximately approximately American creationist sects - they in all danger have self belief able called Heck) is that it represents the devastating realisation of being separated from God. Mediaeval pictures of burning and being ate up by way of monsters have been meant to remind backsliders that the implications does no longer be friendly.

Answer 8

Absolutely....why not? I believe God can talk to you in many ways, through people, dreams, songs, bible, and the holy spirit.
I was awaken one night...could not sleep for anything. I started to pray and I felt God speaking to me through my prayer. He told me what he wanted me to do and who else to include. He was calling me to prison ministry. I spoke with the people that he laid on my heart and they too had the calling. God is wonderful, you need to keep your heart open to the things he wants you to do. He will lead...if you listen.

Answer 9

Yes--in my dreams and in real life. I had this one especially moving experience on Yom Kippur when I felt sure that G-d was speaking to me (not in words, of course) and felt that I was just sitting in His hands. It was amazing.

Answer 10

I think He has, but not with a very specific message, like Moses did or something.
