Great stuff.

Dreams show you what is happening in the spiritual realm. Believe it or not, the spiritual controls the physical. I don't joke with my dreams. If a friend should tell me he/she dreamt I died, I will immediately begin fasting and prayers. That is a warning from God. However on my own part, if I have a dream that someone died i don't tell the person except my family members. I just pray for the person instead to avoid trouble.

My dreams have saved me from problems, wrong relationships and many more. If you walk with the Holyspirit, He will show you things and guide you through life. If you doubt dreams, do a 3 days fasting and prayers telling God to show you things about your life. Let's see if he won't reveal things to you. You will realise that you don't need a pastor or prophet to give you visions, God can speak to you directly.

I guess you missed apostle Jude's warning against letting your life be controlled by your dreams then?
If you let your dreams have that much power over you, what part does God have in it?

Orthodox religions warns against attaching relevance to dreams because dreams affords their followers of direct interaction with God, and this makes them (pastors and co) less relevant. Its a control mechanism to perpetually spiritually enslave the gullible and dominate them.

If you make good use of your dreams, believe me, life becomes easier.

missidy:
My dreams don't control my life, God is the one who controls my life. He gives me the directions I need because that is the way He speaks to me and I have never regretted obeying. I have seen my dreams manifest in real life and it is always so shocking.
Everyone needs to discover how God speaks to them, dreams are not the only way.

Kobojunkie:
Direct interaction with God happens via Direct communication with God's own Spirit who possesses those who are Followers of Jesus Christ.

Dreams are mental images that tend mirror the state of your heart and mind. Your dreams have nothing to do with the spiritual realm as you claim as those images are generated and managed right there in your mind, that is why you are able to have recollection of some dreams and are even able to piece dream fragments today across extended periods of time.
Dreams rarely have anything to do with God since if Born again, you have a direct line to Him every moment of every day. If given a vision maybe but ordinary dreams? Nah!

The Bible warns against letting dreams control oneself or invade one's reality, not Orthodox Christians. As I pointed out in my previous post, Jude's epistle to believers in Jesus Christ cautioned against such endeavours by people who pretend they can do so in the name of God.

I once held these views, but now I know better. In time, I believe you will too.

Kobojunkie:
I don't understand. What views do you believe I hold in error?

backbone503:

No view is absolutely wrong or right. Our views are a true reflection of our level of consciousness, and no two persons have same levels. However, as life is a school, in time, we all grow.

In pry sch, we are taught that 3-7 is impossible. However, when we graduated to secondary classes, we were then taught that 3-7 is possible, and that the answer is actually -4

Kobojunkie:
No view is absolutely wrong or right? Are you sure you know Jesus Christ? According to Him, His View is absolutely True and every other view is absolutely wrong. Remember, He said, " I am the WAY, the TRUTH, and the LIFE...".

Also, find time to read Gospel of Johj chapters 14, 15 and 16 to learn what Jesus Christ said about communication to exist between us and His person when He is home from the Earth.

Then tell me what about my view you think will change with Time.

I have been following this and almost everyone has answered how they would react to the question raised by the op but for you , sorry to say this , it seems you are more interested what you usually like to do. That is to derail the thread.

A simple question has been asked .

How would you react to the situation raised by the op?

Please let's learn from you. I know you have a bright mind

missidy:
Let me give you an example. Last year I had a dream a particular man that liked me called me and asked me out on a date. I saw myself quarrelling with him that he was getting married to someone and still asking me out. 3 weeks later, I got a call from him and he asked me out on a date( exactly as it happned in my dream) i declined based on the warning I got but after his continuous persistence for 2 months, I finally went on some dates with him. Guess what I found out when he carelessly left his phone with me? Uncle actually has a girlfriend. That was how I dodged a bullet, God does not lie.
I can give more examples but I won't. People who have a relationship with God will understand what I am saying. The Holyspirit is real and one of the ways he speaks to us is through dreams.

I you had paid more attention, you would have noticed my earlier response. I said my answers would be "Ok" acknowledging I heard what was told me.

It amazes me when I see some Nairalanders hustle to get front page comment, FTC and so elated when mods move their post to FP.

For me, I write purely on impulse, to further develop my writing skills, to share the little I know, and also learn from others. The above piece was promoted by my interaction with a friend on Sunday morning and I decided to share on NL with the hope that someone else might benefit from it, and I too from the replies.

Truth is like a golden fish; it has no hiding place. Though front page seemingly guarantees a wider audience, but thats inconsequential, because its not about the number. When you're ready, life provides whats needed.

You are an intelligent person. At least, you are not like some persons on this platform who seek attention and create controversy here and there.

This is why I must marry you. You will be a good Father to our kids. How much is your dowry?

Deuteronomy 13 vs 15-20

1. “A prophet or someone who explains dreams might come to you and tell you that they will show you a sign or a miracle.
2. And the sign or miracle they told you about might come true. Then they might ask you to follow other gods (gods you don’t know) and say to you, ‘Let’s serve these gods!’
3. Don’t listen to them, because the Lord your God is testing you. He wants to know if you love him with all your heart and all your soul.
4. You must follow the Lord your God. Respect him. Obey his commands and do what he tells you. Serve the Lord your God, and never leave him.
5. Also, you must kill that prophet or person who explains dreams, because they told you to turn against the Lord your God. And it was the Lord your God who brought you out of the land of Egypt, where you were slaves. They tried to pull you away from the life he commanded you to live, so you must kill them to remove this evil from your people.
