Soothkeep - Interpretation of Dreams

 

Notes:

God guides our understanding through books, pastors, videos, the right person or word at the right time: working supernaturally. Not coincidences. Illuminations. Any combo of objective and subjective.

Interpretation of dreams must be viewed through a biblical lens and understanding. Don't reject dreams but don't abuse them. Put your dream in the crucible to mitigate the work of the enemy:

Psalm 138:2 NASB2020

[2] I will bow down toward Your holy temple And give thanks to Your name for Your mercy and Your truth; For You have made Your word great according to all Your name

Despise not prophesies or illuminations that connect the dots. I am certainly thankful for God's grace in my learning curve. 

1 Thessalonians 5:19-20 NASB2020

[19] Do not quench the Spirit, [20] do not utterly reject prophecies, 

Dreams are in the same category of other providential directives. He is the mixologist for those who are thirsty.

Direct revelation (we have the completed canon) vs generic illumination (helps us chew on the life circumstance). Not the same thing. Allow yourself to be challenged so you can be nudged in a different direction.

Most dreams are traced to hopes or fears. Strong passions. External stimulus. A mix of information. Spiritual exercise in the night vs direct, providential illumination from the Lord. 

Sniff test: treat all the same. Biblical? Reasonable? Seasonable? Actionable?

What's the difference: more vivid and realistic, speaking to current concerns. The impression, a divine fragrance, is not deminished over time. Typically one message or theme. Content defies natural experience or phenomenon yet they fit perfectly. 

Chewing on the cud; spiritual subconscious springs to the conscious:

Prophetic themed.

Biblical illumination.

Life direction.
