Today, we will take a
quick look at the matter of dreams. Some folks don't believe in dreams, while
others do. Let me begin by saying this. We have two types of revelations or
vision namely:
1. Open visions
2. Closed visions
Under open visions comes
trance, etc. and under closed visions comes Dreams, etc...(Let’s not digress
into those areas) however let’s get it clear that dreams are one of the various
forms of visions from the Lord. God instructs and speaks to us through our
dreams. Job 33:14-16
What is a dream? Simply, a
dream is a vision given to you while you are asleep (night vision)
Secondly, we have three categories
of dreams
1. Divine dreams: These
are God given dreams to warn, instruct, or direct you. And they can be
subdivided into 2 types namely:
a. Prophetic dreams: These
are dreams that don't really need interpretation. Their messages are very
obvious e.g. Gen 37:5-8
b. Parabolic dreams: These
are in a parable form and they need interpretation by the wisdom and the Spirit
of God. Gen 40:5-8
2. Demonic dreams: These
are satanic infiltrations into our lives as they seek to execute their
obnoxious agenda. These dreams are often referred to as night mares. These
dreams are to be rejected and nullified in aggressive and authoritative
prayers. (This is the reason why some believers don't like or believe in dreams
because these dreams are anti-scriptural and negative in nature)
3. Human or Activity
induced dreams: These dreams come as a result of multitude of activities or
imaginations. This is the major reason why several sisters don't believe all
those" i saw you in my dream PROPOSALS" given by brothers. It’s like
a banker dreaming of money
When you are able to
categorize your dreams then you are on your way to having a successful dream
life and interpretation. Actually dreams don't worry me too much because when
they come, I begin by categorizing them first in my spirit. Then I know what to
do next. HAVING done this, the next thing is to understand the difference
between dream interpretation and dream translation…………. To be continued
