God or the devil have nothing to do with this. And I am a Christian. What happens is that your subconscious mind knows a lot more than your conscious mind does. And it can come to you in a dream and tell you what clues it has picked up. I had a dream once that I understood to mean that my father was going to die. This happened because there were signs of his illness that I did not see, but my subconscious mind saw it months before he went to the doctor. Also sometimes we can get images from another realm or something, like with ESP. I knew when my mother died, because her spirit came to me in a dream. These things are weird and a little scary at times. But they are not usually from either God or the devil, just a deeper part of our own mind.

Matt. 18:15-17 "If a further believer sins in opposition to you, cross privately and factor out the offense. If the opposite individual listens and confesses it, you might have received that individual again. But if you're unsuccessful, take one or 2 others with you and return once more, in order that the whole thing you are saying is also proven by way of 2 or 3 witnesses. If the individual nonetheless refuses to pay attention, take your case to the church. Then if she or he may not take delivery of the church's determination, deal with that individual as a pagan or a corrupt tax collector." This individual absolutely has a few critical social disorders, but when making him the discipline of individual and institution prayer, befriending him and looking to support him are compatible in has no longer transformed his obnoxious habits, and if it has come to be so unhealthy that it's riding persons away, then the above guide have got to be adopted. However, till this guide has been adopted, you handiest have 2 different offerings: one million. Continue to wait church however refuse to get drawn into what looks to be manner an excessive amount of horizontal staring at (watching on the faults of others), and without difficulty preserve your awareness on Jesus and the cause you attend church within the first situation, that's to worship God. two. Find a further church to wait ... however preserve in brain, any church is a sanatorium for sinners no longer a retirement core for saints ... you are going to by no means discover a superb congregation. And should you did, you could commonly no longer be welcome there.

The dreams are a gift. I have had this all my life I was born with it. I generally know 3 days in advance of a family members death. Not who always just that I will be going to a funeral. I have learned to embrace the gift. I believe it has saved my sisters life. I had a dream that her house was broken into and she was held at gunpoint. I was able to describe the living room and the attacker. I had never been in the house or seen pictures. She was able to take precautions and was then gone when the break in happened. When the police called to tell her that the guy had been caught they gave her a description of him. She almost wet her pants because it was the same guy I had seen in my dream. He was a convicted felon and very violent.
Where the gift comes from... is it good? does it help you or others? then it can't be from the devil.

Decerning dreams is tricky business. You have to be very careful, esspecially if you may think something is coming from God or an Angel. It just depends on the content of the dream. Example:
Back in 1830, a little mentally slow girl had a frightening dream about a horror occuring, where just before the end of the world came, people disappeared from everywhere; and people were left behind to suffer horrible things.
Well, concerned, the child's mother called for the local Priests who spoke with the child, and the little girl (Margaret McDonald) told the Priests what her dream included.
She told them that she awoke feeling sick, and a feeling of horrible evil was all around her. She said she did not feel God in it at all, and she was quite afraid.
The Priests nabbed onto that dream, and its one of the simutanious events that brought the rapture doctrine into being.
That doctrine is so satan-inspired, and if only those Priests had heeded that the girl
was sure it was from evil, then many would be spared end-time deceit, thinking they are going to fly away to safety.
My point is this: you have examine those dreams using common sense, and with prayer I think you may get the answers you want, at least you'll know from whence they come.
You realize it just may be that you have a gift; if it continues, I would seek out someone with experience in this area -
Someone credible, at all cost. Do not venture to get answers from a quack (ie; sylvia browne).
Its interesting that all of the dreams were about someone dying, and they came true.
I would pay close attention to your dreams, for sure.
I'm gonna get the hell off here now, because i don't want you to dream of me!
(sorry, bad humor).
I did have a dream that a person who resembled what we think the Virgin Mary looks like, pointed to my dog Sparkey, and she looked angry. The next morning sparkey was dead; in the two-week period that followed, my fiancee died, my three guinea pigs, my next-door neighbor, two uncles, one aunt, four good friends in a car accident, and then my fiance's best friend committed suicide. I didn't dream of any of those deaths, just the first one, sparkey.
I'd write a letter to the head of the paranormal department of a major ivy league school or teaching hospital. Don't go to psychic quacks - they just want your money - you need a real one.

Actually, both devil and jesus give you dreams.. The devil will try to put fear in you through dreams.. Dreams that you can never imagine.. But when you have such dreams, know that it is not from God.. You must believe that all these are not true.. Why would Jesus scare you through these horrifying dreams?
But when Jesus put dreams which are those you have mentioned above, maybe God just want to test your faithfulness in Him.. Sometimes, a dream can be a testing from God.. He wants to see how you deal with the problem.. Will you face it and believe strongly in Him, or will you give up.. Its might be some kind of warning to you that you have to further analyse why God place that dream in you? What does He wants and you must understand that its not to harm you, but bring you one step higher.. A spiritual growth in God..
Dreams can happen in reality.. As you've said that the dreams that you have dreamt, God might want you to tell whoever you have dreamt about that what will happen.. This can be a form of obedience or God wants you to prophesy over that person.. When you obey and do it, God will speak to you that you will understand what was God's intention and through that dream, your knowledge of God would be widen..
Through dreams, you can see people's hearts, their burdens, their emptiness and He might want you to save that person..
Well.. To conclude, if you have dreams that you think aren't from God, then just command in the name of Jesus that the devil will not pester you every night with these dreams.. Know that the spirit of the Lord is in you.. You don't have to be afraid.. Smiles.. ^^,

To say if someone's dreams are or are not from the Devil...
I prefer not to make a straight out judgement of that. It would not be appropriate.
In the past, God sometimes revealed things to people through dreams. (Daniel 2:1-47) And sometimes through visions. (Daniel 8:1-27)
However, these dreams were allways in connection with God's purpose.
Today, God reveals things through his written word, the bible.
Many times our dreams are based on our memories, thoughts, concearns. For an ex when we are awake, we may be thinking a lot about something, someone, and these thoughts come up as a dream.
It can be fears, of such things as losing someone loved in death.
As for the Devil. The best protection against his influence we need to draw close to God. (James 4:7)
As a precaution, it would be good to examine our lives to see that we in no way have any involvement in spiritistic things.
Satan and his demons are powerful and clever beings and we don't wan't to give them any chance to control neither us or anything around us.

First of all the devil cannot read your mind. Dreams that come true are called Vision and are produced by the Holy Spirit. The devil cannot produce Visions. With all of that said we have to be careful that what we call dreams are just not a picture of reality such as: were any of these people sick?diagnose with any problems? Old age? did your dog have a habit of running out in the street? And lastly, read Acts cahpter 2 Holy Bible

Hello.
Edgar Cayce states that anything which will impact us in our lives is first given to us in a vision or dream.
Dreams and visions...are of various classes and groups, and are the emanations from the conscious, subconscious, or superconscious, or the combination and correlation of each depending upon the individual, and are to be used in the lives of such for the betterment of such an individual.
-Edgar Cayce Reading 39-3
Others there are, a correlation between mentalities or subconscious entities, wherein there has been attained, physically or mentally, a correlation of individual ideas or mental expressions that bring from one subconscious to another those of actual existent conditions, either direct or indirect, to be acted upon or that are ever present, see?
Hence we find visions of the past, visions of the present, visions of the future. For to the subconscious there is no past or future--all present. This would be well to remember.
-Edgar Cayce Reading 136-54
Interpret them (dreams) in thyself. Not by dream book, not by what others say, but dreams are presented in symbols, in signs.
-Edgar Cayce Reading 1968-10
The *body* may analyze same (dreams), interpret same, *better* ; for it can do it better for its own activity than were it done by the most wonderful of all interpreters. And so may be given to all.
-Edgar Cayce Reading 257-138
(Note: When Cayce states may be given to all, it should be interpreted as the reading and not the dream, for he usually gave specific readings for specifical individuals.)
* Indicates Cayce's emphasis.

If it's true it's from Jesus.
If it's untrue or distorted it's from Satan.
If you are hearing from God you must use his guidelines, the Bible, to interpret what He is saying.
God uses imagery in dreams and visions. If you can find similar meanings in his word then interpret them appropriately.
You mention the deaths of many relatives. Were they believers? Did their lives account for anything? Is this a warning to you and others that time is short and should not be wasted?
No one else can interpret your dreams for you.
Seek God and He will give you the answer.
Yeah, I know, this sounds like a bunch of religious mumbo-jumbo but it's the truth. God is speaking to you and you need to ask him for the wisdom, knowledge, understanding and personal revelation.

Your dreams are a compilation of bits of memories acted upon by your imagination. As you might do in a daydream, your unconscious mind is active and capable of either serious thought or truly mind-boggling fantasy. The fact that a dream you had came true is no more than your brain taking in information and drawing likely conclusions. This time, it was right.
