I rarely have dreams that I can remember upon waking.  This one, however, was incredibly disturbing.  I woke up shaking and crying.

It seemed like an apocalyptical-type setting.  My children and I were walking through an unfamiliar city.  Suddenly, someone started yelling that a sandstorm was coming...not your run-of-the-mill west Texas duststorm, but the kind that would overtake you in seconds and suffocate you.  Everyone started running, panicking.  I was holding my baby dd and holding my other dd's hand.  I told my oldest ds to keep hold of my younger ds' hand.

*I'm getting very panicked-feeling just typing all of this.*

We all started trying to run through the streets, trying to escape the storm.  Very quickly, I lost sight of my sons.  I was screaming their names...screaming for my husband.  I caught sight of my husband further down a street.  He seemed to be trying to help some big truck get out of the middle of the road.  I screamed to him that I couldn't find the boys.  He kind of waved me off...told me he would be right there when he was done helping this truck driver.  I felt completely hopless.

This is when I woke up.  In the past, the first years of our marriage, I often felt that my husband put others' needs ahead of my own.  I was young, immature and didn't value my husband's generosity.  I have since realized my error.  My husband is very generous with others, but no less with us.  His family is the most important thing in his life.  Some of those feelings of insecurity rose up, however.

Other than past insecurities, I don't know what to make of this dream.  Of course, other than telling my husband part of it when I had it(I didn't bring up the past...no point, except it would hurt him), and typing it out here, I haven't dwelt on it much.  It's too upsetting.

Any thoughts?

I personally find that when I have dreams such as this, God my Father is putting His finger on some place in me that does not have faith.  I ask the Lord to increase my faith, and I can testify to you that He has done so.  I repent for the fears (for God has not given us a spirit of fear.......).

One time I had a dream where I saw a short/stocky demon chasing my oldest three children across a field that was in front of our house.  They seemed unaware it was a demon, they were being chased in play.  I called to my children and they came running to me.  When they turned to come to me, the demon pulled out a gun and shot my oldest dd in the shoulder (he intended to kill).  She kept running to me.  Then the scene changed and the demon and myself were facing off in front of a red brick wall from our house.  He pointed his gun straight at me and of course I was paralyzed in fear.  I managed to say the name of Jesus before the shot rang out.  It missed me, bounced off the wall, and hit the demon and killed him.

I awoke from the dream with the automatic prayer coming forth, "Increase my faith!!!"  The Lord orchestrated that heart cry.  Likely, may I suggest that the Lord is orchestrating a heart cry in you?

I can testify that this dream has happened.  Indeed, demonic has tried to take me out and demonic lost through the power of Jesus.  Through the process of all of it, which was over the course of many years, my faith was increased.  And it continues to be.


I hope that helps,

I have a question.  Pretty much, Curtis and I don't know about what I have seen in a couple of dreams, so I am just wondering if anyone else has had something similar, or if you could help me understand a little better. 

I will not give the whole of the two dreams about which I speak, but I can if it is needful.  They are short.

In these dreams I have seen in the sky, things that are both beautiful and unusual.  In both, it is like I am living here on earth and experiencing earthly things, but I look up or out, and see absolute beauty in the sky.  That is to say, the vision of the sky is very crystal clear in color, but the things I go through on the earth are in more greyish colors.  So, I do understand that the only answer may be I am seeing in the eternal.  I'm okay with that, I just thought others may could give me another perspective.

In the first dream, I looked up into a completely cloudless black/blue sky.  I looked to the left.  There were two Huge completely full moons.  It is like they were way, way closer than our moon would ever be.  I suspect this is something of the fullness of time; however, I have not seen any Scriptures concerning two moons.

In the second dream, I went up some stairs to go to the bathroom, but passed to the left (again) into a bedroom (there was a man of our church waiting for the bathroom cleansing thing).  I looked out the bedroom window into the most beautiful, even, rippled cloud cover.  Oh my...........and there was the most beautiful light.  In other words, it wasn't like a complete cloud cover of storm.  Oh no, it was so beautiful.  But no blue sky was to be seen.

Thank you for any thoughts,
Cara

Bumping mine, too.

I knew there was a dream thread somewhere here in the archives but I couldn't find it for the longest time lol.

I had this dream about a week ago.  I wanted to share it with yall in the hopes that an objective eye might be able to help me understand the meaning(s). My dreams (what I remember of them) are usually pretty random and boring and they start to fade as soon as I wake up; it's rare that I'll have one that sticks with me for over a week or that seems to contain so much symbolism.

(relevant backstory: I use a lot of recipes in baking that call for buttermilk, but since it's more expensive than regular milk I don't ever buy it. I just make my own substitution using regular milk and lemon juice. But every now and then I'll think that real buttermilk would taste so much better in my scones and pancakes, etc. lol. I'll see a carton at the store and be tempted to buy it, but I never do.)

In the dream my fiance and I are walking hand in hand through a grocery store. When we get to the dairy case I notice that there's a half-empty carton of buttermilk in the case. Brendan tells me that if I want, I can just take the buttermilk. I asked him if that wasn't just stealing, and he said that since it's been opened and it's half-empty, the store can't re-sell it so I might as well just take it. I was like..."hm, are you sure?" We stood there in front of the dairy case considering the moral implications of taking the buttermilk. I don't know what we eventually decided.

Then the dream shifts and Brendan and I are hiking in a wooded, forest-like area. There are trees everywhere and a stream. It's sometime in late winter/early spring and there's still some snow and ice along the edges of the stream. Brendan walks a lot faster than me so he had gotten ahead and I was lagging behind.

As I pass the stream I notice 2 polar bears are in the stream, on the opposite side of the bank that I'm standing on. They are just playing and rolling around in the snow and the rushing water, paying me no mind. I watch for a few minutes then run to catch up with Brendan. I told him about what I'd seen and he stopped and looked at me, amazed that I'd seen the polar bears. He seemed to think that was the coolest thing in the world and he asked why I hadn't pointed it out to him when we passed the stream. I told him that he had gotten too far ahead of me so he wouldn't have heard me anyway.

He decides that he wants to see the polar bears, so we turn around double-back the way we had come. We reach the stream but Brendan can't see the bears. We hike through the bush, down to the bank till we're closer to the water, and still he can't see the bears very well. So I lead us closer still, right to edge of the bank. The stream is small but it's very fast with rushing water rapids and a small 2 or 3-foot high waterfall over near where the bears are playing.

All of a sudden I realize that we are in danger. (Not because of the bears, oddly...) We've gotten too far off the path and are standing too close to the edge of the water for comfort. Brendan seems to sense this at the same time I do and mood of the dream changes abruptly at this point. I am nervous now and Brendan is a bit ticked off at me for leading him down too close to the stream. That's the last thing I remember, and then I woke up.

So, any thoughts?

[cecac]

I think you may be dreaming of how it is going to be when you and Brendan are married.  It is true, that as Christian couples, we have to learn how to relate to one another.  Part of that learning is for both husband and wife to appreciate the giftings (you are seeing at times when Brendan is not).  But also, we have to learn when it is time for the husband's authority to be absolute (when Brendan and you sensed danger, then definitely time to back off regardless of whether Brendan could see the bears or not).  Equally, we have to learn how to use any prophetic ability in the wife.  I know my husband has shown some frustration a few times because there are things that I see and have even prophetically said (and have come to pass in our family) that he could not sense or see.  However, on the whole, Curtis takes my prophetic gifting seriously and appreciates the gifting God has given us.  I take it seriously too in that it is completely under the power of the Holy Spirit and Curtis' authority.  We have been married 20 years, so I just share that to say you may be dreaming the growing of unity that will begin to take place upon the beginning of your marriage.

I am going to say one other thing about the first part of your dream concerning the 1/2 carton of buttermilk.  I feel it is left unsolved for a reason.  I feel the Lord may be showing you that you will have a learning (as I think all of us wives have, again) in how to listen to the Holy Spirit and also listen to your husband.  It is very good that you both were discussing the moral implications........I think this may mean that you and your fiance will be able to discuss these type things and work them out together.  Again, it is a precious thing that the Lord bestows on His children when we husbands and wives walk in unity and in proper roles (proper in my mind being as according to the Word of God).

This puts me in mind of one of the most beautiful passages, imho, concerning marriage:  Ephesians 5:14-33.

Bless you in your journey,

[Monita]

I've had  a dream a few times.    I do not ever feuuly remember my dreams, just the feeling of them along with  fuzzy details. 

In my dream there is a problem with one of my children.  I seem to realize that it is demonic at some point and that I just need to say "In the name of Jesus........

Well, I never can!   My mouth becomes shut, like sealed and I scream through my sealed mouth but can never actually say the words.  It all happens in a blink of time.  I wake up and always wonder what int the world happened.  Did I really just dream this?   Never really remembering any details.    

I do not understand.....

[cecac]

(((((Monita)))))  I've had the same thing.

I feel this shows us some things, perhaps?  First, this may be showing us that as we are training our children, loving our children, and tending to them, we need to be aware that we need to pray over them and yes, even rebuke anything which through the Holy Spirit we sense is trying to tempt or attack them, in the name of Jesus.

Even if we are struck dumb as in these type dreams, we can always, always think and struggle to say out loud if possible the name of Jesus.  Always.   I can testify to you that my oldest son was indeed struck dumb at one point, with demonic attack.  He was able to rebuke in the name of Jesus in his mind.  They have to leave, either way.  Those demons did indeed leave.  We have nothing to fear, for we are the Lord's and the Bible promises that so are our children, they are clean.  That is not to say; however, that there won't be struggle as you did in the dream.  That you knew to call upon Jesus, that is wonderful.  Praise the Lord, for His mercies endure forever and ever.

@ andiclare:
Both of your dreams seem to be a teaching about being willing to simply follow your future DH...

In the buttermilk dream, you doubted his ethics, and wanted to discuss the matter until you were convinced about his advice being "right" or not. Truly, it didn't seem like good advice. However, (if this were a real situation) the correct response would be to say "okay" and put the buttermilk in your cart and take it with you with your other purchases right up to the check out.  In this way you would not be "sneaking" it out due to uneasiness... you would be acting in boldness and innocence based on your FDH's advice. If the guy at the counter said "what's this?" Then, your DH could handle the situation from there. But if your DH was right... that buttermilk would go out with you. 

There is a way to follow and obey your husband without questioning his ethics, but also without being complicit, should he choose commit a crime. This submissive innocence is what you aim for. If your DH knows that you are going to confidently grab that buttermilk, based on his advice, and carry it in full view to the counter without any attempt to hide it... then he will MAKE SURE that he's right.
Every individual will have different ideas about what is right and what isn't. Many women tend to have very knitpicky appearance standards. (I DO!)  So learn to follow your man without questioning him, and commit your questions to God... living transparently, and openly, so that IF your DH is wrong you are not party to hiding his crime. No need to go out of your way to tell on him either though... just follow in simplicity and open innocence. You will discover that if your DH is following Christ... you have nothing to fear.

I know this is a fine line and it may be hard to see... God will let you know.


The Polar Bear Hike...

In this dream, your DH was going "too fast" for you. But when you had a cause, you ran to catch up. In my experience a man that follows God is doubtless going to be "hiking too fast" for comfort. I am always running to stay up with Gabe.  Be prepared to follow on his heels, even if you pass out from lack of oxygen occasionally. If you are right there next to him, you will see what he sees, and he will not need to turn around and "follow" you at any time. Your man will never see what you see, unless you are right at his heels.
There have been a few times when I lagged behind and saw something... told Gabe... he turned away from his path to see it too... couldn't quite see it... kept listening to me and trying to see it... finally saw it... sort of... but not really.

He only "saw" what I had seen much later when I learned to follow right at his heels. Then, God showed us at the same time, with the same clarity, and the "vision" was very satisfying to both of us.

Does that make sense?

God is good to prepare you ahead of time.  It sounds like you may have an interesting man to follow.

love,
Rebekah

Monita,
this is actually really common. Satan's power is limited to lies. He is telling you that you can't speak, so you can't run him off. It's a lie. I used to fall for that trick all the time. Then I realized that it was just a dream that was lie. There is no way he can physically shut my mouth. So, I woke up... laughed at the Devil and told him to go where Jesus sends him, and leave me and mine alone.

He's a liar, and that's the only thing about him you can count on.

But Jesus is the truth, and in Him is no lie! Praise Him, and rejoice in Him with a loud voice! If you live too close to neighbors, here's another idea... I have discovered that I can sing so loudly (in my spirit) that the whole universe can hear me. I was singing "GREAT IS THY FAITHFULNESS!" a little while ago... it would shock anyone to actually hear it, I was so outrageously loud.  Try it sometime.

love,
Beka 

[andiclare]

Cara and Rebeka, thank you so much for taking the time to respond. I'm a little overwhelmed lol. I did post the dream hoping for *some* kind of insight...But I think I've always assumed that you can't  interpret someone's dreams generally unless you know the dreamer and their circumstances personally. But yall's insights have really struck a chord, and it rings true. I had not even thought of the teaching aspects, or that it might have anything to do with following/learning to trust my future husband. I think you're both right on.

I'm praying that God will help me to understand and to learn. The first few (vague) ideas that came to me were that the buttermilk part may have something to do with the immigration process we're going through...If anyone's read about it here, you'll know I've been burdened by some serious anxiety about this. Just by how difficult it's proven to be, and how there is not just one way to do things...There are several different courses of action we could do...Call 'em Plans A-G lol. Some of them (even the ones recommended by the USCIS!!) involve my fiance coming over here on a visa waiver, marrying me and effectively being an illegal immigrant for about 1-3 months while we wait for some beurocratic wheels to turn. The government has recommended this course of action to us yet still I am sort of caught up on the "illegal" part, even if it's effectively just a technicality. (That's how it's been explained to us.) I am trying really hard not to burden my fiance too much with my anxieties...I know that he is the one who is giving up everything he's every known to be with me and I need to be strong and optimistic and trusting in his decisions about it.

The truth is I do trust him more than anything, so I think I just need to pull myself together and be strong and follow him. If this is indeed what the dream was about, and I think it was, then it falls in line exactly with what you said Rebekah.

The second part of the dream, the hike and the stream-- I awoke after this part with a feeling of guilt for leading my fiance off the main path and down a dangerous detour. Then I thought, "but wait, he wanted to go see the polar bears!! I didn't drag him!" Then the thought struck me that Eve probably could have said the same thing about Adam and the forbidden fruit. 

So yeah. A lot to pray about. Thanks again you guys. 

[andiclare]

This puts me in mind of one of the most beautiful passages, imho, concerning marriage:  Ephesians 5:14-33.

Bless you in your journey,

Thanks for your insights on my dream, and for this scripture. It was a blessing to re-read it.

I had a wierd dream last night that I was fleeing with real bad lower back pain. I felt the lower back pain. I could not properly function because of the lower back pain. I felt it as if I really did have it. I woke up and the pain was no longer there.

That entire dream segment was about me feeling the lower back pain. Wierd. I cant make any since of it at this time.But it was so real. I was laying down wallering in pain on the ground with kaos around me. But I was untouched by the evil ones around me who were harming others. Screaming, panic and death all around me but I was not touched by it other then that awful lower back pain. Ppl were running and trying to  get away as the evil ones blocked them and tried to contain them in 1 small area outside. But the evil ones either could not or would not touch and harm me. I prayed to God in my dream for that lower back pain to end and shortly after that I woke up pain free.

What I dont fully understand is who are those evil ones that I cant see but can feel so strongly? Whomever they are in the dreams they seem to be the cause of or the workers of the ones who cause the upheavel in the 1st place. They bring with them such torment and evil. Complete evil that I can not discribe emits from them. They ooze with it. And this evil makes ppl feel total fear and panic. I believe it is an evil that no lone person can emit without help from evil itself if you know what I mean.

This evil flees in my dreams when I call out to Jesus.

[andiclare]

^^A couple questions about your dream, BJ.

I'm focusing on the back pain here first. You say that the lower back pain wes severe and *real* in the dream, but when you awoke and the dream faded, the pain was gone. Right? So the pain was real, but it was still only in your dream...? I'm wondering two things, first of all is there any possible practical reason for the back pain? For instance...new matress or new sleeping arrangement? You slept in a funny position or rolled over at a harsh angle while you were sleeping, that could have put a kink in your back muscles?

Second thing, is there any kind of physical or emotional/intellectual/spiritual significance that you know of to do with lower back pain? Something that could be coming up from a memory or something...? (A "for instance" here would be...You usually suffer from remarkable lower back pain when you're pregant. Or, you were in a car crash a few years ago and suffered some lingering back pain as a result. etc., etc...)

I have a sense that if you figure this out, it might be the key to unlocking any lingering questions you have about this dream. (And of course...I could also be wrong lol  )  But it is a sense I'm getting, for what it's worth. Those questions are along the lines of what I ask myself whenever I have a perplexing or memorable dream.

HTH, God bless!

Nope nothing new. Same old mattress, I think I was laying on my belly which is normal for me.

Not that I know of. I suppose it is possible I was having real life lower back pains while I slept and it played into my already occuring dream.

I have had sciatic lower back pains that have debilitated me and be so bad that I could not hardly stand, sit, lay down, walk or move. I was rather helpless during those times.

Yeah, could be you were having some slight back pain but in your dream it was incorporated into a severe pain...or also that it was magnifying the "helplessness" you may have been feeling watching the evil get to the other people around you.

Also I was just thinking of how you felt the intense pain, and the evil couldnt get to you...It made me think of the pain of Christ on the cross, how his suffering and bloodshed protects believers from evil. Also maybe the verses where he said that anyone who wants to be his disciple has to pick up their own cross and follow him.

Just some random thoughts...

[Sweet E]

I have only had a few dreams that I felt had meaning. One was an answer to a question I had cried out to the Lord about. When I awoke and prayed, I understood what the dream meant. I have had other dreams that I wondered about, whether they had meaning or not. I have been thinking about one in particular that I had almost a year ago. I got up the next morning and wrote the whole thing down so that I could remember it. I am typing it almost verbatim...

I dreamed that I was with my family visiting a church. I found the nusery and was given a small child to care for during the service. It was a baby, at least in size and apearance, but not in strength or understanding. Somehow I knew the baby was wise and mature in mind. I could tell by the look in its eyes.

As soon as I took the baby in my arms it grasped my fingers with its tiny hands in an alarmingly strong grip. I don't think I could have pulled my hands away if I had wished to. Most of my attention was spent trying to keep the baby upright... it kept turning over, trying to get its face close to my hands (as is, maybe, to bite me?). I began to hold it out arm's length away from my body.

A lady came into the room and began to check the baby's welfare. For the first time, I saw that ther were medical cords around the baby's throat, like an IV. The lady (nurse?) said something like, "Maybe we should try this," and changed/added something to the IV. The baby began to jerk, and a few minutes later, it died.

Looking back, I think that the baby was sick/dying the entire time I held it. I was not sad or grieved when it died, but strangely moved. It was "touching" somehow. I heard in my mind the moment it died sweeping music, loud and dramatic. It was the movie score of Prince Caspian, lol. Even in my dream, I wondered how I could remember the music so well.

I awoke. I prayed and asked God if this dream had meaning, and if it did, that He would show it to me. I was quiet and waited, and fell back asleep and dreamed that my family was in an open area outside a house at twilight.

The sun was already set, but it wasn't fully dark yet. We were happy and laughing and playing. There were fireflies everywhere. I caught one and ran to show it to Mom and Dad, then let it go. I skipped past Dad and noticed that he had a bunch of fireflies on his back, glowing in the semi-darkness. I laughed and wondered if I had any on my back. I went dancing around, twirling and skipping... I even laid down in the cool green grass and rolled over and over, laughing in delight. Everyone was happy and full of joy. I remember thinking, "This is the perfect end to our vacation." I think I dreamed about us being on vacation before this, but I don't remember. That part is a vague memory.

We finally began to go inside the house for the night. I was on the porch walking towards the door when I noticed two dogs running towards me. The one seemed like a regular dog, but I knew the other was the "baby," only in different form. Maybe it was the eyes? I was midly alarmed, and shouted, "NO!" to the dog/baby, and they both stopped and melted way. I went into the house.

How can I know if this dream had a meaning, or if it was just the efffect of and exhausted and overly creative mind?

I've been having really frightening and awful dreams about my Pop lately. He died about a week ago now, and he was one of  the sweetest, gentlest men ever.
Well the last few nights i've dreamt about him and the dreams have been so out-of-character. In the first dream, I was sitting by his deathbed in the hospital, and I was watching him struggle to breathe and knew he was in lots of pain. (that part of the dream is based on real life). But then, right on the moment of death, a demon flew out of him and into me. I started to pray outloud but then I couldn't (like in the dream Monita had above, I couldn't talk) so I prayed in my mind very hard and the demon left me.
But then my pop was dead and I haven't been able to get that image (from the dream) of him taking his last breaths out of my mind. He looked agressive and hateful as well as  in pain. In real life that wasn't when he was dying that wsn't how he looked though.

The next dream I had last night. We went to visit my Pop at the cemetry and his body was being kept in a coffin on the second story of a building with lots of windows. I walked up to a window and suddenly he climbed out of his coffin - like he came back to life - and startd yelling angrily at me though the window and shaking his fist at me. I knew he wanted to kill me. SO I turned and ran and prayed and then my mum was there and she hugged mem, and we just stood back and I'm not sure what happened after that.

The thing is, right before he went into hospital he did come over all agressive, he didn't know who anyone was. He attacked my stepdad and punched my mum in the jaw. But I wasn't there for that, it was right after my parents had driven me to the airport ( i was visiting with them.) I was there with him and my parents for two weeks and even though he was senile, he was gentle and smiley the entire time, and happy as long as we gave him lots of chocolate and coffee.  He was a choc-a-holic! It was-is hard for me to believe he'd suddenly come over all crazy like that.
I can't get these dreams and the images of him wanting to kill me and being posessed by a demon out of my mind. I guess it is probably just me feeling guilty that we didn't go to the funeral (long story, that) and wondering about whether he's now with Jesus.....or not.  I can't really tell my family about the dreams because I dont want to disturb them.

I do miss him lots 

[HoldingOntoHim]

Just thought that I would share a dream that I had last night!

The setting is a place very much like Canyon Creek, which is a wonderful place only accessible by walking.  It has a creek running through dense forest filled with lush green ferns, moss and every other shrubs and trees known to the northern climate.  Only in my dream the creek was much larger than the actual creek running there.
There was myself, my two daughters, and a son (now to those who know me, know I only have two daughters and no sons, but I had miscarried a baby, I was 4 almost 5 months along and in the ultra sound it was revealed to be a boy) and in my dream I did not even know my sons name, we had taken Grandma and Grandpa out there to stay in a cabin located on the bank of the south-western side of the creek.
Somehow Grandma managed to get her car into the dense forest where the cabin lay and took my youngest daughter for a drive.  Many hours passed with no sign of their return.  So my oldest daughter, my son and I decided to go look for them. 
I am not sure how long we had been searching, when all of a sudden my youngest appeared beside us and said, “I know where Grandma is and she is need of help, follow me!”  We followed her to where she had left Grandma and pointed down the cliff towards the water.  There we could see immerged in the water, Grandma’s car.  Frantic, as we could not find a way down to her for the cliff was high and straight.

And that is where I woke up. 

I am not sure whether there is a meaning behind this dream or if it was just an over-active mind, but I know everything is alright and will be alright as I woke up singing “What A Friend We Have in Jesus”.

So, to all who may read this, Rest and know that He is Lord whom will be your comfort!

[Monita]

I had a dream a few night"s ago and would like to share it.

I was walking in the counryside with my family.  We were seeing families picnicing and having goodtimes in clearings through the trees as we walked by.  We got onto a dirt road that was elevated and now the woods were lower than us.  The families that we passed were all in dressed in their "Sunday Best" was my thought as they were all comming to the path we were on.  They were far behind us but I could still see them.....we were moving alot faster.  Then I noticed people coming tword us in normal clothes.  I started to feel scared in my dream, like this was going to be another dream where I was trying to call on Jesus and could not.  I was walking  ahead of my Dh with Ryan my ds.  I looked back and saw my husband was there holding my dd's hand but I did not notice my other 2 sons there don't know if they were or not. 
As we were walking through the people I saw a large scary looking man and just felt fear and said to myself  "the evil one".   He passed me and I began to walk faster thinking "Ok here he is, I need to not fear I need to speak truth, hold truth"  I walked away from my family with the thought that I had a work to do or duty....not sure.  I did not even look back to see where my family was or "the evil one".  I just kept going in faith trusting  and telling myself "truth".  I kept saying the Jesus is the truth, that I want noone but Him, that He has the ways of life, He has the living water, there is noone but Jesus, He is All.  Then I saw the end of the path.  I was still fighting fear and feeling the evil one getting closer to me but I still  refused to look back , just kept speaking "truth" to myself and felt like I needed to get there before my family to save them maybe?.   Ryan was already there, I grabbed him in my arms and began telling Him that Jesus is the only way, In Him is everything  and to only look to Him.  Then I started feeling the evil closer and felt so much fear and doubt.  I did not want to give into it and began saying to myself, "where else would you go, what else is there, what is better?.....nothing Lord, nothing.  You are everything Lord.  Where else would I go , there is nothing without you.  As I was saying this the "evil one" came upon me and bit my neck.  I still had Ryan in my arms,and my voice faded as I continued to speak those things and feeling surprised that I did not give in, I was not made mute, I kept believing even though the evil one even had me by the neck.    I awoke.

I actually remember this dream more than any other.  I do not know what it means if anything.  Pondering it and praying.

This seems pretty powerful to me....It seems God is calling His people to a closer walk.  To keep our eyes on Him no matter what comes our way our what evil surrounds us. Rise up! Let us walk in this with all we have! Strengthen our weak knees O Lord and make our steps steady and sure!

Really blessed by the words in your post...I needed to read/hear that today

Hi everyone... this is my first comment, thank you for having me! I was excited to read this post, because lately, (within the last year) I've noticed something very strange.
 I will have a very disturbing dream or nightmare right before a personal attack from the enemy. I didn't catch on at first, but I started noticing that every time there would be an attack, I would have just had a terrible nightmare.
Now these are random nightmares. Nothing prophetic, and they aren't specific to my circumstances in anyway, but very disturbing none the less. So when I have one that really rattles me, I make a very deliberate effort to keep my eyes open and to stay alert and without fail, an attack will come.
Having the dreams helps me face the attacks head on without fear and armed in advance with scripture. Its unnerving but I'm thankful for it. 

Strange I know... has anyone else ever experienced this???

Cherika-

Sorry to hear about your Dad.  My Dad died 15 years ago and I still grieve alot for him (he was not saved).  I have dreams about him all the time (still).  Usually I dream that he comes back to life and I can witness to him etc.. 

My adopted son has dreams about his deceased father coming back to life to talk to him all the time.  It is very grievious to him.  Sometimes his dad is angry in the dreams.  He grieves his fathers death terribly.  He died in terrible circumstances.

I'm not any help here just wanted to say sorry about your dad.

I know just what you are saying because I too have learned the same thing about my dreams. For me I normally dream of hungry human hunting dinosaurs when I am about to face or am currently facing a battle of some sort.

I know that might sound silly but it is probably because watching dinosaur shows as a kid make me think they were scary and bad so to me they represent something wants to harm humans (me). Blame it on that old show called "Land of the Lost" lol.

Thank you joyfulmomto 9. I am praying that your son will find peace, those dreams sound awful  I should probably point out that my Pop is my grandfather not my dad. But thank you so much for your empathy, it's comforting  and nice

I had this dream about two weeks ago.  I can’t get it out of my mind.

I was with my parents (not sure if it was my real life parents or just two people I “knew” were my parents), talking with a man that I felt that I knew.  He was looking for a wife for his son (whom I also knew), and I was one of the girls he was considering.  I felt that this was a great honor and that the son was a very good man.  I couldn’t believe he was even considering me.  After a moment, the father said we could think it over and let him know.  If we said yes, then we would be engaged immediately and begin planning the wedding.  As we walked away I started thinking that I was crazy for not just saying yes right then.  So, we went back, but there were people around and we couldn’t get through.  I knew that another girl had already said yes, and this was the engagement party.  I was so disappointed that it could have been me, and that I should have said yes right away, but didn’t. I had a great time with the family of the soon-to be bride.  They were very nice and I enjoyed talking, eating and dancing with them.  The girls all had long hair and dresses…Then, I got a glimpse of the bride to be.  She was pale with hair that was sort of choppy and obviously dyed black.  She was wearing a knee-length, tight black dress.  I knew she had been a bad girl and was surprised that she was one of the girls considered. But, I also knew that she understood how amazing it was that he had considered her, and just knowing that, changed her.  With this thought, the dream ended.

This dream bothers me because I don’t know if it has a personal application or not.  I think about it often.  I don't want to miss an important opportunity like I did in that dream.  Any insight would be appreciated!

I think this is an amazing dream Snowflake, reminds me of how Jesus invites us to be "married"  to him - and how he changes us when we accept the invitation
