Dreams
Dreams are an incredible way that our Creator has to communicate with
us. They should always be a source of gratitude and inspiration and never of worry.
Dreams are blunt and can reveal things we hide from ourselves and others, and
this can be a cause for shock or concern. What does the book of Job, in the
Bible, says about dreams?
Job 33:14-17 God speaks in one way, and
in two, though man does not perceive it. In a dream, in a vision of the night,
when deep sleep falls on men, while they slumber on their beds then he opens
the ears of men and terrifies them with warnings, that he may turn man aside
from his deed and conceal pride from a man;
On my troubled teenage years almost every night I would awake up with a
terrifying dream. To interpret it I read all kinds of books and literature
about dreams and it’s interpretations but I admit that it was a terrible waste
of time and energy and I didn’t get the peace of mind I sought. It left me more
worried and confused than ever. Until one day I read something very simple and
childlike: “Dreams are either inspired by God or the devil”. Of course, to
people that don’t believe in God or the devil it seems pure nonsense, but I
grabbed that sentence and I stopped trying to interpret my dreams and letting
them worry me.
