When I was young I went about with my friends, but my mother did not like them and told me to stay back from them. I thought she was talking a load of rubbish. Then for three nights in a row, I had a dream that frightened the life and soul out of me.
The next night I stayed in my bedroom and had a read of the bible, what I read was Job
33 vs 14 to18 and I knew the dreams were from God. And the friends were dropped .

The question was do you think that God can talk to you in dreams.

Job 33:14-18 (New International Version)
New International Version (NIV)
Copyright © 1973, 1978, 1984 by International Bible Society
14 For God does speak—now one way, now another—
though man may not perceive it.
15 In a dream, in a vision of the night,
when deep sleep falls on men
as they slumber in their beds,
16 he may speak in their ears
and terrify them with warnings,
17 to turn man from wrongdoing
and keep him from pride,
18 to preserve his soul from the pit,
his life from perishing by the sword.
I imagine the question might be, how is this all a coincidence? How could an imaginary friend be able to speak to this person from a book of fairy tales? How can you think about dismissing this as nothing more than a cute story?
The Bible holds within its bindings the way of life that is beneficial to man and every sort of question is answered. How can men have possibly come up with that?

God has spoken to many in dreams. It takes the wise to realise. As far as the young go, they don't know what they don't know and growing up is about finding out that things aren't they way the were told about in school and that yes people do have phenomenal and spiritual experiences and no science doesn't have all the answers. Only a child would be be so dismissive and think they know so much. This is where people get depressed and disillusion when they leave school and hit adulthood only to find out there's a lot they didn't know about.

... I'm fairly young and I'm quite certain that I don't know everything, however this question makes me wonder what you're trying to accomplish. You see, I may not be a wise old crone but I do think that some random story about you severing your friendship with several people because you read something out of a mythology book is not going to convince me of anything except how naive you were as a young person.

Absolutely! That was no coincidence, for sure. He even sends the angels (ministering spirits) to guide us in our dreams and protect us from the evil one, and his angels (demons), who may attempt to attack us while we are in such a vulnerable state as sleep. Joseph dreamt (Genesis 37) and was able to intepret the Pharoah's dreams (Genesis 41), and Daniel dreamt (Daniel 7) and interpreted Nebuchadnezzar's as well (Daniel 2, 4 and 5), just as the angels do. And, Joel, he told us that we would dream dreams (2:28) that would be beneficial for instruction, after the Spirit of God would be poured out, as He was at Pentecost in Acts 2. So, I guess you are a living example of Joel's promise!

This is a great step for you believer, however my question to muster would have to be...
when these dreams revealed to you were acknowledged from God and by you accepting the elaborate existence to you....are you revealing the wise within your witness, or delivering a boast to ours?

I agree that young people think they know it all, but you are freaky and kind of confused,besides you don't give any facts. Are you suggesting that all young people should be isolated?Please do everybody a favor, watch the movie "Carrie" with Sissy Spacek, and stay away from given advise to young or any other people.

Well, maybe there are some young kids out there who are still susceptible to incorporate fantasies into their "knowledge" base, but I doubt there are many. Most of them still know everything, whether it fits with what you believe or not. It's what they believe that counts.

God will show you the right way if only we will listen to him.

So? Wheres the question in this? Or are you just choosing to lecture? Btw, just because you decided that your book was more important than your friends doesn't make you right. Good thing you dropped them because you are very shallow and those friends of yours deserved better than you.
