@Hidden In Him, I may have to hire you or take a dream interpretation course. I am dreaming almost every other/every night now, some are very complex. Interestingly, the Spirit does reveal some things to me, but not everything when I pray about them. I'm thankful for you!

Two nights ago I dreamed I was driving along a straight country road with fields on both sides. Ahead I could see a wall made of sandbags built on the shoulder alongside the road. It was fairly big, the width of the sandbags and perhaps 5' tall and 6' long (my numbers, not dream numbers), but seemed dwarfed by the size of the fields around. As I approached I could see the wall was leaning slightly towards the road. I stopped my car and got out thinking this was a safety hazard and and maybe I might be able to fix the wall. Standing there contemplating my next steps (hadn't touched the wall yet), I wondered what it would feel like to have a sandbag wall fall on you. Wouldn't you know, that's exactly when it did! The wall knocked me down, but didn't hurt me. This is when I realized the sandbags were made of a minimum amount of sand (maybe 1 pound of sand?), enough to give them enough weight to be stacked, surrounded by fiberfill - pillow stuffing! As I moved the bags off me and start rebuilding the wall, on one of the bags I spotted a fairly large spider about 1" big. It was black with blue lines circling it's body. I wasn't scared of it, but felt grateful it hadn't bitten me.
END OF DREAM
(That same night, there was a second dream that I can't totally remember other than I saw numbers and letters before my eyes. I only remember the double zeros.)

---------------------
Last night I dreamed we were gifted a 100 lb bag of cottage cheese! We like cottage cheese, but there was no way we'd ever eat that much before it went bad. Hoping to put it in smaller containers to refrigerate it I realized we didn't have enough plastic containers to store it in and we certainly didn't have enough room in the fridge. The dream ended with us phoning people to try and give it away. The only person I remember specifically, was my brother. END OF DREAM


Hi sister! I've been meaning to write you personally and apologize for not reposting your dream to that other thread yet. I get caught up in things, but I have a note on my desk to take care of it.

I haven't read this one yet, but I'll try to take a look at it later on.

God bless, and good seeing you again : )

Well it's admirable that you wish to learn. A lot goes into it, however. One of the primary things you need to be a good interpreter is an accurate knowledge of God's word, His teachings, and a good understanding of the symbolism He uses. That in and of itself is a lot to learn, but it is not beyond the reach of any servant of God if they are truly called to it : )

It sounds like you may have a ministry going.

I'm not 100% positive here, so this is something you should step back and go to God in prayer on, but I will tell you my honest opinion of what I think these dreams mean.

Let's start with the last one. First time I've ever seen cottage cheese in a dream, but in general food represents either spiritual sustenance (through revelation) or emotional strengthening (comfort foods will represents this). Since cottage cheese is not really known as a comfort food it represents a form of the former; that you will be gifted with a great deal of revelation that provides spiritual sustenance, so much so that there will be far more provided than for just you and your immediate family but many others as well, including your brother. This likely refers to the dreams you are having. I didn't mention it, but you said before that you were having dreams like crazy lately. This is often a sign that the Lord intends on using you in it. The fact that you are also expressing interest in learning to interpret is also a good sign, though again, don't get too overconfident about that just yet, LoL. But simply by allowing God to use you in dreams, and getting in the habit of being very meticulous about writing down what you see and hear and experience, you could end up receiving far more that would minster to others than you might expect.

Now, the first one is likely related. Cars nearly always represent ministries, and you driving down a country road represents this. The safety hazard may well be part of your ministry of receiving dreams, because prophetic dreams and visions are most often preventative in some way. In other words, they expose the enemy's strategies, so that the people of God around you are protected from spiritual danger, and what the enemy is planning against them. You "building the wall" would thus represent helping to minister in this area. The wall falling on you is the interesting part. It likely means that the responsibility to rebuild a wall of spiritual protection for those around you may "fall to you," as it were. That you were wondering what it would feel like likely relates to you wondering what it might be like to have such a responsibility (guessing). As it turns out, it's not that "heavy" of a responsibility after all, as the sandbags are largely filled with stuffing. Btw, they do this sort of thing with road hazards. I've never seen it with sand bags, but they will use big plastic tubs that are filled with lightweight foam, so that they can absorb the contact without damaging whatever hits it. They use them on race tracks, and alongside tighter turns on high speed roads. So it's about you rebuilding a wall of spiritual protection for people thorough prophetic dreams, especially other people's ministries (since this wall is built next to a highway, where other cars will be passing). The real problem, however, if there is one, is the spider. This represents a demonic spirit; very common symbol of one. The bite likely represents the enemy attacking you and causing you pain for rebuilding the wall. But the danger isn't actually in the bite, it's in the poison. What this represents spiritually is that Satan can fill you with resentment towards people who attack you, and the enemy can use people to do so that you wouldn't expect, so it can quite literally "hurt." You would have to be prepared for attacks to come through family members, through long time friends, through your spouse, through your pastor even, anyone really. So the dream is warning that if you do start engaging in it more, you will have to be prepared to occasionally get "bitten" as they say, and get the poison out of your system before it starts doing you real spiritual harm.

I guess that's about it. Again, I'm not 100% certain that's what these two are saying, but with nothing else to go on that would be my best guess.

God bless, and thanks again for sharing. And remember, don't get ahead of things even if this rings true to you. Just go to God in prayer. If it is what He is calling you to, either now or down the road, He will reveal it to you with increasing confirmation.

P.S. If you'd like to start a conversation, you may not have enough posts to do so just yet (forum rules), but I can send you one myself if you need me to. Just ask.
Thanks again,
- H

Greetings, everyone, in the wonderful name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

I've recently become a member here at Christianity Board, and was sharing with some other charismatic members here how I move in the gift of dream interpretation. I wanted to open a thread for anyone who believes they might have received a dream or vision sent to them by God, and are curious to know what it means.

To those who dismiss dreams as not worthy of being taken seriously, scripture very clearly proves otherwise. Dreams and visions play very important roles in both the Old and New Testaments. I am humble with my gift, and simply present to people what I feel the proper interpretation is, and leave it at that. Most dreams explain themselves internally, such that I do not need to ask any questions. However, whenever this is not the case, I may ask questions to establish the context behind the symbolism being presented.

Should anyone prefer to send me something in private, please feel free to. That is fine as well.

Blessings in Christ Jesus,
Hidden In Him
Where was that gift listed in the NT?

Listed as a gift? Nowhere by name. If you are asking about its use, several dreams and visions are referenced in the NT. Their use is also implied in 1 Corinthians 13:8-12, but that would take some time to unpack.

in the OT Joseph explained dreams from God about the baker & the king's cupbearer when he was in prison, Daniel was able to explain dreams that the kings of Babylon couldn't understand

So I thought if I shared dreams online at times, I should post them public. Just because I would like to see what others glean too...different thoughts. I've prayed about this one almost for a week now and a friend of mine from church gave me what she believed it to mean. I agree with her on quite a bit of it... But I'd also like to hear what other believers think too as I learn to sort through what is God and not God. There is wisdom and accountability in a multitude of counselors....that is number two. First and foremost, the final authority is always God's Word. My main thing is I want to learn what God's voice is and learn to trust my own more, because I do allow Holy Spirit to lead me. This has quite the analogy to it for battle though and disturbed me for awhile...


Dream: There was a table with three judges sitting at it. Two looked like the ones from American Idol, Paula and Simon. The other was random. It was a beautiful sunny day/clear skies, and they were sitting outside. I was standing behind them. They were looking inside this rectangular window with no glass, into this bunker sized room with a lot of teenagers. (War bunker) I walked passed their table to the room. The teenagers were fighting/like karate in the dark. But I sensed it was meant for fun. I was behind this one teenage boy, but it was like looking through his eyes. He kicked someone, a shadow of a woman with a bun in her hair. She came towards him, and it was like the head severed off the body. There was a lot of blood. It squirted everywhere. I didn't expect that his kick was meant to destroy people like that, but it did. He kicked two others, and the head severed off the body with a lot of blood like the first one. At the end of the dream, I walked back out into the sunlight away from the teenage boy and the dead teenagers. There were a few still standing in the darkness with the boy. The judges at the table were just watching, like they were sad with what was going on. I was also sad. But the judges just sat watching, and I walked away from the room into the warm sunlight/daytime.

Like I'm supposed to interpret this in public, LoL.

Yeah, on the second read through I know exactly what this dream is referring to. Exactly. But there's no way I'm putting that in print here.

I can guess, but did you get any sense of what the judges had become sad about? And why were you sad in the dream?

The judges looked more annoyed sad I guess. Like they were judging them. I was sad because of the fighting.

I was on this rocky dirt road going to the room/away from the room when I say "stood behind them".

I think I need to be meditating on some of them war verses. LOL. I got the spiritual war part out of it.

Hmmm... this leaves too much out there where interpretation is concerned. Unless I know specifically what they were annoyed or sad about, the dream carries no message yet, other than telling me what I already know.

My friend thinks these are two types of believers. Ones who are still in the light, and seasoned fighters (from the light) who can fight the darkness. She said that we need to be careful as believers not to judge people, whether it be the fighters or those in the dark... I can see that...good reminder.

I might not be the sort of person who can just go knock dark shadow heads off alone in the dark just yet, but I can sure be praising and praying to God in the light.

I believe I know what you were seeing/learning but I'm hard pressed to put it into words.

Its like...you were seeing that things that are commonplace and dont seem to be harmful really are harmful. We see them as normal because they are in our every day and we are surrounded by them, but you got the glimpse that they darken the windows/eyes so the light cant penetrate.

This is especially important, as you said it was your desire to hear Gods voice. Little foxes spoil the vine. But we have grown up with all the little foxes and they've just always been there so we dont see them as truly evil for the damage they do at crushing the vine.

We can begin to SEE the little foxes and we can struggle with them, but they are deeply rooted in us and we cling to them. They almost just seem like silly and harmless shenanigans to us, if we even see them in ourselves at all, and we more often see them easily in others but not as readily in ourselves. The result is that we think others have some serious problems but that we ourselves dont.

I'm trying to think of an example...like, if someone is rude to us and we have hurt feelings and resentment. We see them as the problem when the problem is inside of ourself. We ourself hold onto that little fox and nurture it and feed it. We cant change it - a leopard cant change his spots. But it's way worse than that - we dont even see it as a problem in ourself so we dont have sorrow over it and ask for help. No problem can be fixed in us if we dont see we have a problem and ask for what we lack.

You were seeing through the teenagers eyes because the dream was addressed to you and you are the teenager. It's a great blessing that God is beginning to show you the things of the world you must reject rather than accept in your habits. It means He is beginning to address the things that hinder you from hearing Him more clearly.

I have a caution for you. You cannot do anything about your spots. You have to see yourself more clearly as He shows you, ask for what you lack, and wait in trust. After you have struggled with sin/the little foxes for awhile, He will strengthen, confirm and establish you. You will be sorrowful over what He shows you in yourself (and others) but accept it, acknowledge it, ask, and wait in as calm of trust as you are able to. To much worry is the opposite of trust that He will see to you.

Interesting interpretation... So I think I hear you saying I have blind spots where I do not see my own sin, easier to see it in others, but that I am beginning to recognize the sin and fight against it?

We all have blind spots and things we dont see as hindering our growth. We continue to have them until God shows us and He shows us as soon as we are ready to bear them. The quickest way is to trust Him and to be vigilant when He shows us ways we are trusting something else other than Him or shows us we are caught in worry rather than trust.

You know, a way in which I struggled for what seemed like forever and shouldn't have had to, was a stubborn insistence that He wasnt letting me make enough money to take care of myself. I complained to Him a lot about it. He showed me it was unbelief. He can sew up holes in pockets and He can make shoes last 40 years in a desert. But I was insisting on how the world looks at things. God doesnt even need ANY money to take care of someone. And whatever is not faith is sin.

I am not sure if this is the right interpretation, it could be...but regardless, it is a word I definitely can use. I know it is easy to have blindspots and it is easy to see sin in others. To pray about what they are to change those areas is so important.
