Aside from the scientific knowledge that many have studied on dreams and how they occur as a process in our brains, dreams are a very special gift. This gift gives us insight into a whole other world. A world that we could only enter when reaching a state of peace and relaxation, such as sleep or meditation. According to http://www.jw.org, in Bible times, God occasionally used dreams. But these were not everyday vague, illogical dreams. Dreams from God were vivid and coherent, and they had a definite message. Some of these messages gave clear and concise scenarios of future events, while others necessitated to be put together, just as you would a puzzle.
In my prior articles, I’ve reiterated the need for stillness and a quiet mind in order to hear or experience any messages more clearly. In the bible, God spoke of his intentions to speak to his children in the manner of dreams {Acts 2:17-18}
As you continue to pay more attention to your dreams, you will begin to understand them more. They will become more like stories, rather than random situations our brain has put together. Now, much like our relationship with God is a commitment, so are our dreams. In order to be able to receive more information through dream state, one must show their commitment and open heart. Keep a dream log by your nightstand in order to remember your dreams. Before falling asleep, set an intention, or ask a question of guidance. Setting intentions shows your desire to connect. When you wake up in the morning, make sure to write down in present time your dream, how it made you feel, and details of what you remember. These small steps will help us remember our dreams and keep them coming on a more routine basis.
In the days we are living filled with lack of faith, ruthlessness, and cold hearts, we are called to be lights in the darkness. In focusing in on our dreams, we shift our minds into another world. This actually calms our minds and helps us navigate a little smoother in our day-to-day lives. Dreams are the forbidden world of unsolved mysteries. They are the gateway into our soul, our desires, and our connection to ourselves and God. God used dreams in the bible to warn people of their sins and wrong doings, to direct their paths and offer signs of hope. Have you tried to decipher your dreams as of late?
