chivaley: Hi folks. How significant do you think dreams are?

chivaley:
Can they tell the future?

chivaley:
Are they meant to help us ward off impending doom?

chivaley:
Does God warn us through our dreams? Real experiences are welcome as well.

chivaley: Thanks for all the replies so far. I started this thread because I have also had dreams that came true or bad ones I had to pray really hard to avert. But one further question house: What are dream symbols? I've heard a lot about them. If you guys will be kind enough to list some you are aware of, it would be nice. For instance I heard worms and maggots depict illness, rats depict poverty and oil depicts annointing. Any insights on dream symbols?

chivaley: Still waiting Goshen...

Omo Alata: I once dreamt my mother was cussing/cursing me in the dream. She was cussing real bad (heavy, heavy pronouncements) so I sent all the cusses back to her ojare. I was yelling, "back to sender, return to sender, backfire" in the dream. My mother has been passing through one problem or the other ever since.

Thank God for Jesus Amen.

Uyi Iredia: I once dreamt my mother died (when she was alive) and told my family. We prayed against it and it was later forgotten. WHen shed died & I was at her burial everything came back in the form of a deja vu. It was quite traumatic for me. I do believe dreams can be used to foretell the future. I also believe God sometimes alters the future through dreams. Consider the fact that a dream which woke Hitler up saved him from an untimely death.

kwenu: Good post Chivaley, yeah dreams are so important, God talk to us through dreams, warns us of future event to come, study your bible, there you ll see and understand better, i am a living testimony, have had dreams, seen God in my dreams, i saw Gods presence there, fought spiritual battles in my dreams with the help of the Holyspirit,ect.
So called demon spirits principalities and powers are very much visible in dreams, in your dreams you see them clearly.
Dreams are more clearer than visions if u ask me

I have been attacked several times in my dreams, this calls for me to be alert

I have lots of testimonies i can give you but time will not permit me.
I once had an experience when i was been escorted by the spirit of death into an estate, there was nobody in that estate, there along the journey a trap was laid to destroy me, probably to get me killed, but along the road the Holy spirit rescued me off the scene.

if someone is to die in this real life he or she will first be killed there in the realm of the spirit(Dream) before dying phisically here on earth. if i had not yeild to the instructions of the holyspirit, i could have been history today.

If someone is to get infected with a disease in this real life, it does first occur in the spirit realm (dream). the infection will likely come from a demon there.maybe by having sex in your dream with that demon (that can be the staged attack by the enemy)and if the attack is carried out succesfully by the enemy and the victim wakes up and does not undertand his or her dream before leaving for daily routine, then its likely that the next mistake to be made from hat person will result to disaster such as as health problems will occur. i am confident of this as a fact



in such a matter like this, God is not to be blamed for the consequence because he already warned the victim before the problem occured.

I once had a dream where an angel who have given me money once showed up the second time in dream and called for my attention,i woke up and did understand the dream, there i noticed that it was the same angel who once gave me money that visited again in my dream, there i stood up from my bed and went into my sitting room there i found money.

My uncle who died years back 2008, happened to first go through financial crisis and then later my mother had a dream of him. she saw his brother in a dream , ascending from a valley, while he was ascending down . he disappeared in that dream. because the dream wasnt well understood and taken seriously.
6months later he died.



Abraham Lincoln:

Three days prior to his assassination, Abraham Lincoln related a dream he had to his wife and a few friends. According to Ward Hill Lamon, one of the friends who was present for the conversation, the president said:



"About ten days ago, I retired very late. I had been up waiting for important dispatches from the front. I could not have been long in bed when I fell into a slumber, for I was weary. I soon began to dream. There seemed to be a death-like stillness about me. Then I heard subdued sobs, as if a number of people were weeping. I thought I left my bed and wandered downstairs. There the silence was broken by the same pitiful sobbing, but the mourners were invisible. I went from room to room; no living person was in sight, but the same mournful sounds of distress met me as I passed along. I saw light in all the rooms; every object was familiar to me; but where were all the people who were grieving as if their hearts would break? I was puzzled and alarmed. What could be the meaning of all this? Determined to find the cause of a state of things so mysterious and so shocking, I kept on until I arrived at the East Room, which I entered. There I met with a sickening surprise. Before me was a catafalque, on which rested a corpse wrapped in funeral vestments. Around it were stationed soldiers who were acting as guards; and there was a throng of people, gazing mournfully upon the corpse, whose face was covered, others weeping pitifully. 'Who is dead in the White House?' I demanded of one of the soldiers, 'The President,' was his answer; 'he was killed by an assassin.' Then came a loud burst of grief from the crowd, which woke me from my dream. I slept no more that night; and although it was only a dream, I have been strangely annoyed by it ever since."


Lots of other cases, but time will not permit me to write them up here, i shall me making more research on about dreams soon.
By the grace of God almighty.

Please do not Joke with your dreams, its instruction from the Holy spirit.

D sage:

I was shocked by your story, wondered what could be the problem btw you and your mother.

Please I beg you, go and settle the difference between you and your mother. You most know that, a curse/prayer from parents especially mother have great impart on her children.

Omo Alata:

All of us have no idea what we've done to offend her. I have 3 siblings living in Lagos, they have moved house and not given mum their new addresses (they say they are hiding their heads and I can't say I blame them). If mum is not careful, she will die a lonely woman. Sometimes I wonder why she decided to have children

If she asks for £20 and you give her £10, she will hold her boobs and private part and cuss No appreciation for the little things. I could go on and on and on.

Anyway, my Lord is bigger than whatever she believes in!!
