Re: signs and dreams others have about you then tell you about and worry you to pieces...

[sapientia]

Ok, basically I'm asking if anyone has experience with people who have to tell you 'this horrible dream I had about you' and how easy was it to just 'blow it off' and not fret about it? Do you think that if you, yourself, tend to be open to spiritual signs, that maybe God would give you the sign and not someone else?

Looking for insight and experiences! thanks!

I do not think God would give someone else a sign like that and not communicate directly with you. In true relationship, people talk to each other directly not to a third party. Sure, I might pray about it and ask God to give me insight and wisdom about someone else's dream and respond accordingly. I think it would really depend on the situation, the heart of the person telling me their dream of me, and my own relationship with God.

Do not worry.

Do not worry.

That's what I thought, too. Thank you!

As a person who often receives signs, and messages from God in my dreams ( I do also get spiritually attacked in my dreams as well, I guess I'm just spiritually vulnerable in my sleep) I think that if you are personally in an open relationship with God, He would speak with you directly. If you are not currently having a close relationship with God, then yes it's possible for someone else to relay a message and have words of wisdom for you.

If you've had any particular dreams that you think might be a message for you, I would be happy to try and help you decipher the meaning. I can be quite good at it sometimes, and most recently helped my best friend figure out a dream she had about the two of us. In her dream, I was slaying monsters and she was running behind, and we took shelter in a house. In the dream, my parents were in the house, but I guess we didn't know, and when I looked in the morning they were dead. Well, the day she told me about this dream, we also had a conversation about getting counseling to help us get past some things from our past that are holding us back in our marriages. I didn't think anything about the dream, but as I was taking a nap with my son, all of a sudden an answer came to me.
The dream was a sign that there are monsters from our past that are attacking us. I was the person in front slaying, while she was behind me, because I am more likely to seek counseling first. She is still hesitant b/c she was raised to kind of "stuff things inside" and put on a happy face. My parents were dead in the dream (the monsters had gotten them) because they got divorced 23 years ago (the monsters "killed" their marriage). So, this dream was a sign for the both of us to get help to help us move past these issues so that our marriages don't end up in divorce as well.
Just to note- I am not at all near the mindset of divorce, but I do have some of my own issues that are keeping me from sharing total intimacy with my husband.

IndigoKoi, thank you very much! Like you, I tend to have signs and somewhat prophetic dreams. I very much agree with you that if there is a relationship with God then we receive the messages.
You know-I sat down and typed out the situation in this response and when I did, I kind of got my answer! I don't think the bad dream this person had is relevant to me-I think she overheard some negative talk about me from her mother and it translated into a bad dream about me. (friend of my kids who has been in our lives for most of her life) But then I realized that before I even heard about this dream I had dreams of my own that told me what I needed to know, and a few people contacted me out of the blue that further reinforces that her dream wasn't accurate.
I guess God answers us sometimes before we ask-just takes a moment to think!
But I do keep having bizarre dreams about the first home dh and I lived in when 4 of our kids were little. (we built the house on family land) due to abusive family drama from my family and better work for dh, we sold the house and land but ever since then I dream about 'going back' to reclaim it. In the dream the new owners are gone and I know we don't really own it and must leave soon before they come back. THing is, I have no desire to be back there-bad memories, hated the house, the land was too much to manage. Yet I always go back there in my dreams and feel like it's 'mine'. I go back to pack up more of my things (though we left nothing behind, literally took a lot of the plants with us when we left!) I feel like I'm haunting the place. And the really relevant part is that I want it to be mine in the dream-but know the real owners will be back, soon and have to leave before we get found out. (I birthed three of our children there, but I don't think that's the issue.)
If you have insight, great! If not, I understand. Thanks for your response!
