 Dream Interpretation? |
Link |
Do any of you ever interpret dreams? I believe God can speak to use through dreams. Some people try to interpret their own dreams. I believe we can if God gives us wisdom to do so.
Here is a dream I heard recently:
I know a couple. The husband is not sure if it will pan out, but he may be doing what might be considered pastoral ministry in a few months. He's a Bible teacher type, calm, not the loud pulpit pounding type. The wife is an intercessor, prophesies, and gets words of knowledge, and can be very evangelistic at times.
The wife shared a dream she had. In the dream, she saw a bear come at the husband. He picked it up by it's forearms, picked the bear up over his head, and slammed it down on the ground, killing it. Then the woman saw some kind of black animal, maybe reptilian or something like that. It wasn't an animal she'd seen in real life. It's head was shaped a bit like a fish and it had sharp teeth. It tried to bite her feet, but she evaded it.
Does anyone feel they have the wisdom to interpret it?

| This interpretation is NOT "thus saith the Lord" |
bonnie knox |
This is just from Bonnie's imagination.
The man is Link and the woman is his wife. The wife is working out her apprehensions about all the changes that will be transpiring in the next little while. The bear represents the obstacles and challenges that Link will face, but his wife is confident that he can meet them well and overcome them. She has uncertainty about what her own challenges and obstacles will be (thus the animal she doesn't recognize), but she sees herself meeting them and overcome them as well. |

So you think they dreamed about us?
I notice your dream interpretation is a psychological approach rather than a spiritual approach. The woman who had the dream seemed to think it was from the Lord.

I'd say the dream means they will both come under spiritual attack but they will both overcome it. His attack may come through natural means but he will be able to overcome it through spiritual power. Her attack is demonic, but more of an annoyance and distraction that a serious attack.

I didn't say the dream wasn't from the Lord; I just said my interpretation was not a divine interpretation.
But maybe the woman who had the dream can pray about my interpretation and see what the Lord says to her about it.

Ole Timer, that's easy. The Lord has good things in store for you. You and "momma" will be the head and not the tail; whatever you do will prosper. You will be blessed and will prosper and be in good health even as your soul prospers. Moreover, I say unto you, you will endeavor to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.

My gootness, Miss Bonnie, with all at good bein interpreted I feel somewhat like Jehosherfat when the king of the northern kingdom had all these prophets come out an they was all prophesyin prosperity, peace an victory. Johosherfat knowed they was just a bunch a word a faith false prophets an he said, "Is there not a prophet of the Lord of whom we may enquire?"
Course, I know you was joshin an all. |

| Oops, just got a "blood moon" interpretation of the dream |
bonnie knox |
Now in the dream, the man killed a bear, and who do we know killed a bear? DANIEL Boone! Now in the dream, the man grabbed the bear by the FOREarms, so we go to chapter FOUR of DANIEL.
Sure enough, Daniel chapter four is about a dream. Now the dream mentioned forearms, and I looked for arms in the chapter and failed to find it. Then I realized arm is the first part of army, and sure enough army is in verse 35 of chapter 4. That verse says 'none can stay his hand,' which means that nothing will stop this man from killing the bear. However, notice that in verse 19, Daniel was astonied for an hour and had thoughts that troubled him. Besides his reactions to Bonnie's interpretation, which the man found very troubling, an incident from 2 Kings 13:18-19 kept coming to his mind. He wondered if perhaps he should have body slammed the bear several times instead of just once.
Also I'd be careful about which tree to saw down since verse 20 speaks of 'the tree that thou sawest.'

Furthermore, the prophet that WAS from the Lord first prophesied that Word of Faith stuff because he knew that was what the king wanted to hear. Micaiah was the prophet. Only when the king demanded the truth did Micaiah tell him the truth. Interesting story.

Ats what ya call Split-Second-Salvation, Miss Bonnie.
Ole Micaiah, at first, was prosephyin what was popular, an what everbody else was prophesyin. He had been watchin all the profits on JBN (Jerusalem Broadcastin Network). But right in the middle of his prophesyin he got convicted, renounced WOF prophecy, an hit the straight/narrow trail. |

I think he knew what he was doing when he prophesied what everybody else was saying; in other words, I think he was being snarky! |

Goes along with my first thought. I thought she needed an Alka Seltzer. |

I'd like to comment on the responses to the thread.
Elihu, Job's youngest comforter in the story, and the one who seems to get things right, told of how God warns men in visions of the night. Peter said that your old men will dream dreams. Isn't it normal for Christians to expect that God will at times give believers dreams from him?
There are some passages that warn against false prophets prophesying and telling their dreams. These things need to be consistent with 'the law and the testimony.' Dreams can come from the flesh as well as from the LORD. But I never seen dreams attributed to food (pizza) in the Bible. I wonder why Pentecostals would jump to that. This dream seemed fairly straightforward, and just hearing it it sounded like the type of dream that could be revelatory. Sometimes, I'll have dreams that I am pretty sure are from the Lord, and sometimes the interpretation will be straightforward, and sometimes a bit more complicated. Other dreams, I don't these sense that they are from the Lord, and others I'm not so sure about.
I took Bonnie's interpretation to be a psychological approach because her interpretation had to do with how the dreamer felt about him or her self. I don't care anything for the psychological approach to dream interpretation which involves an individual working through his own thoughts. IMO, if a dream is really about that, it may not deserve much thought. But if a dream is from the Lord, we should consider what it has to say.

It's called humor, in the 30 plus years I've been in the Pentecostal church I'd said it's pretty common to hear someone mention "Quit eating food or pizza late in evening" when someone mentions having a dream they believe needs interpreting. |

There are some "pizza dreams" and flakes, but at times (not all the time) God can speak to us through our dreams...if we're listening.
Apparently, everything's a big joke here, Link.
