I had a series of dreams two months ago from Sunday to Sunday (one week). Each dream seemed to be a piece of a puzzle at the end of it all, it told a story. I am not quite sure of it's interpretation I am only using logic, although with one particular part I was corrected with my "logic"
I don't really know whether it was God, I assume it was as they were in a sense related to one another and told a story. Anyway time will tell I guess.
Hi, Ruby.
There are definitely different reasons why God speaks to people in dreams, and one of them is for corrective purposes.
I'm going to quote something that Elihu said in the book of Job, and I personally put great stock in what he said because God ultimately rebuked Job and his three friends, but he never rebuked Elihu.
Here's what he said in relation to dreams:
Job chapter 33
[
13] Why dost thou strive against him? for he giveth not account of any of his matters.
[
14] For God speaketh once, yea twice, yet man perceiveth it not.
[
15] In a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep falleth upon men, in slumberings upon the bed;
[
16] Then he openeth the ears of men, and sealeth their instruction,
[
17] That he may withdraw man from his purpose, and hide pride from man.
There are definitely times when God, via "a dream" or "vision of the night", seeks to "withdraw man from his purpose" or keep us from going in the wrong direction that we had previously plotted out.
I'm not suggesting that such was the case with you because I don't really know either you or what you dreamed.
I do know, however, that God has dealt with me in this precise manner a multitude (literally) of times, and I'm thankful for the same.
Whenever I dream, I ask God if he was seeking to "open my ears" and "seal my instruction" because I wouldn't want God to be speaking to me and I somehow "perceive it not".
In fact, I oftentimes ask God to "open my ears" and "seal my instruction" before going to bed because I could certainly use as much "instruction" as is available.
Anyhow, just some thoughts...
