God most certainly can communicate with us in our dreams, but what about Satan?

The human mind is the battle ground and produces all the ills that we face awake or see asleep. What comes out of the individual heart is a different matter.
The closer one gets to the truth in Christ, the closer one finds themselves to the worldly religious spirit of the anti-Christ in his most subtle forms.
As the old hymn by Luther notes: "But still our ancient foe doth seek to work us woe. His power and might are great and armed with cruel hate, on earth is not his equal."
But better yet is the old song -- "Victory in Jesus"

I firmly do believe this to be true. We have 3 things that influence our dreams....Our daily life activities, thoughts and stresses and losses and gains. Satan. God. More often it is the first one that affects our dreams. Sometimes they seem demonic because our mind is playing out the real us for us to view. Most of the dreams make no sense after we wake up and think about them. It is the ones that seem to make perfect sense when we wake that are from an outside source. From experience I can safely say most of these kind of dreams come straight from Satan. Though they make sense they serve no purpose.
Those that come from God make sense and show a purpose from the start.
I have found that in the case of dreams heavy prayer is a must if there is any confusion as to where they came from

I have had dreams from God & also satan, Just because we may be a Christian does not exempt us from satan giving us dreams. Satan gave Jesus a vision when he took Jesus upon the high mountain & tempted him to jump.

Satan will always tempt the born again Christian. He is FURIOUS that he lost their soul and is jealous that God has it now. You see, Satan ONLY tempts the believers for he already has the unbelievers where he wants them, on the path to hell.

Satan cannot enter into someone who is saved because the Holy Spirit is already there. However, he can do things around you to make your life miserable (ever hear of Lot?). I know for a fact that he can attack you (long story, I won't go into that here). But we have been given the weapons to repel him:
Eph 6:11-18
10Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. 11Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes. 12For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. 13Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. 14Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, 15and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. 16In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. 17Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. 18And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the saints.

Of course. It is satan's job to suggest ideas to us. He will use whatever way he can. It is our job to resist him. Just because he suggest something doesn't mean you have to act on it. The choice is always yours. Satan can't make you do anything unless of course you have dedicated your life to him or allowed him to possess you. God Bless you!!!

No. Only god can. Satan has no power but that god has given him.

I think he can and he does! Christ warns us that Satan is ever-present...esp. toward Christians who know God.
Satan is deceptive. He won't come in dreams as himself. He'll be disguised as someone you trust.

Yes Satan attacks those who grow close to God.You must command him away in The Holy Name of Jesus.

Only because Satan is all in the minds of saved Christians. Outside of there, he doesn't exist.
