Understanding the dreams you dream. Part. 12-Dream manipulation

Just like with any other area of our lives, the more we discover what Satan has been doing to secure his oppression over us, the craftier he becomes.

I am sure you must have ascertained by now that the Bible's wisdom causes one to see things from an entirely different perspective. More importantly, the Bible elevates our understanding of our variety of situations. In today's teaching, we are about to explore an area of dream interpretation that, if not carefully analyzed, it's easy to become confused by specific dreams. Often, the dreamer can be misled through a misinterpretation of their dreams.

Make no mistake, just like in your everyday life, the enemy shows up in your dreams only to execute three objectives, and they are to kill you, steal from you, and destroy you, according to John 10:10. However, he doesn't just arbitrarily attack you in these areas. The reality is, unknown to most believers, Satan and his cohorts are very much legalistic and attack with purpose in mind, aided by the spiritual laws. Meaning whenever he comes, he's coming fully equipped with biblical law. For example, the biblical or spiritual law dictates that the people of God are destroyed due to a lack of knowledge, Hosea 4:6. Destruction will always result from a lack of knowledge that otherwise would prevent Destruction.

The best way that I can illustrate this understanding is by the following example. Let's say someone has set a trap for you. The trap will only be as successful as your ignorance towards it. So the fact that you don't realize that there is a trap set for you will ultimately secure Destruction for you. On the other hand, if you are aware of the trap, you cannot be destroyed because you're aware of the trap. So, in essence, your knowing (which is knowledge) will protect and preserve your life, while you're not knowing (lack of knowledge) will destroy your life.

With the above being said, a friend told me he had a dream that confused him. He said he dreamt how his wife and himself were in what appeared to be a bedroom. He stood on one side of the bed while she stood on the other side. In the dream, he was filled with rage and anger and cursed his wife with profanity. In fact, he said he cursed his wife so much she didn't even have a chance to respond. Even though she so desperately wanted to. He further went on to say that he could recall the room being dark, and the dream ended. Upon waking, he said he felt very uneasy and did not know what to make of the dream.

Firstly, as I mentioned in the previous teaching, darkness in a dream indicates evil, ignorance, wickedness, etc. While a house would represent a person's life, different parts of that house speak to specific areas of that person's life. The bedroom points to personal and intimate areas of the dreamer's life. Here, the dream can become misleading if one does not consider spiritual laws. My friend said he was cursing his wife with great profanity to the extent his wife could not get a word in. In reality, my friend and his wife do not get along, so some would interpret this dream to mean that he may have unforgiveness in his heart toward his wife or that his dream was just an avenue to vent his frustration toward his wife.

The novice or one who is not mentally accompanied by spiritual laws and understands Satan and his agent's craftiness and manipulation of the law would find this dream very difficult to interpret. The dream's interpretation is that my friend was, in fact, cursing himself in the dream. Yes! Satan has manipulated him in the dream to curse his wife. How is this? According to the spiritual law, the law says, "For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh" Ephesians 5:31. "And they twain shall be one flesh: so they are no more twain, but one flesh" Mark 10:8. "Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother and cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh" Genesis 2:24.

So, as you can see, according to spiritual laws, a husband and wife are indeed one: "The two shall become one." So the enemy, via this spiritual law unknowing to my friend, was able to cause my friend in his dream to curse his wife when the truth is to curse his wife is to really curse himself. The second law used in this dream was Death and life. This law says, "Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and they that love it (the Death or life that they speak) shall eat the fruit thereof, Proverbs 18:21.

So it is dreams like the above that if left unchallenged, meaning if the dream is not interpreted correctly and canceled, the dreamer can expect difficulties, losses, delays, missed opportunities, etc., in their life.

Dreaming of Houses

 DREAMING OF HOUSES

In today's teaching on dreams and their understanding, we will focus on dreams that involve houses. Dreaming of a home is a very common dream. A house in a dream usually represents someone's life. Even more interesting is that each part of the house speaks to a specific area of the dreamer's life.

Let's examine the scriptures to prove that a house represents a person and their life. The book of Matthew 12:43-44 reads, "When the unclean spirit is gone out of a person, he walks through dry places, seeking rest, and finds none. Then he says, 'I will return into my house from whence I came out,' and when he comes, he finds it empty, swept, and garnished." In this scripture, the word "house" refers to the human host once inhabited by the unclean spirit. However, in another reference regarding houses, Acts 16:31, the word "house" is used as a symbol for a family.

So, as you have read, a house in a dream is symbolic of the dreamer's life or that of someone else. Former residences, such as your childhood home or a former apartment, symbolize delays, starting over, or inconvenient setbacks in life. A new house can represent a new life or a new way of life, and an old house usually speaks of things concerning the past, especially if you dream about a house you lived in when you were young. This undoubtedly symbolizes elements from your past that influence your life presently and prevent you from excelling or progressing.

Now that we have established that the house represents the person and their life let's explore the different areas of the house that specifically speak to specific regions of a person's life.

The bedroom is considered a private part of the house and always points to personal and/or intimate things. This part of the house is off-limits, particularly to those who do not live there. So if you dream of someone in your bedroom, it generally means someone is invading or intruding on your privacy. It can also mean someone trying to interfere in your relationship with your spouse or significant other. The bedroom can also represent a place of rest, especially if you're in bed. These dreams should be taken very seriously because they warn the dreamer of pending spiritual manifestations. It calls for much prayer to dismantle this impending evil.

Dreams involving bathrooms often carry a symbolic meaning of purification and the release of negative emotions or behaviors. Within the realm of dream interpretation, bathrooms can be seen as a representation of the cleansing process, both physically and mentally, where one can rid themselves of any unwanted residue or toxic matters.

A basement is a space underneath a home, often used for storage or as an additional living area. It can also symbolize hidden or discarded items, including sins such as unfaithfulness, emotional pain, and family secrets.

The living room and den are common areas within a home where families gather to engage in meaningful conversations about current events and personal matters. These spaces offer a sense of comfort and familiarity to those who seek a safe and welcoming environment in which to share their thoughts and feelings. Whether discussing world news or intimate family affairs, these spaces provide a platform for open and honest communication among loved ones.

Dreaming of a "front porch" typically refers to open and visible areas to the public, lacking a sense of privacy and often exposing the events or activities occurring within it, both present and future. This can encompass a range of settings and scenarios, from physical spaces such as a literal front porch to digital platforms and social media accounts that anyone can view, exposing personal content. In other cases, a front porch would represent things of the future, similar to a back porch, which would indicate stuff of the past.

A kitchen is a place for preparing, cooking, and storing food. To the dreamer, it symbolizes preparation for something. For those passionate about cooking, it represents a love for the craft. It could also mean studying and holding the word in one's heart.

Dreaming of a roof can represent covering and protecting the mind and thoughts. It is the same if you dream about the ceiling of a home; it speaks directly to the mind and opinions of the person. For instance, let's say you had a dream of mildew on your ceiling or blackbirds on your roof. This case speaks of evil thoughts attempting or invading your mind. Remember, the color black represents negative things.

When one dreams of a home's foundation, it can symbolize a variety of ancestral and family matters. These can include curses and blessings, depending on the specific details of the dream. For instance, snakes on the foundation may indicate a curse, while clear water may represent blessings. It is essential to carefully consider the details of the dream to gain a deeper understanding of the message it may be trying to convey.

Stairs in a house are significant because going up a staircase represents promotion or elevation, and going down a stair would mean the opposite, which would be a demotion.

If you dream about your or someone else's property, it would represent territory, dominion, and even ownership.

One must remember that the interpretation of dream symbols is often shaped by an individual's cultural background, occupation, way of life, and faith. As such, it is of utmost importance to depend exclusively on the guidance and direction of the Holy Spirit when seeking to understand their meaning.

Spiritual understanding of dream symbols

In our teaching today on dreams we will focus on a particular area of our dreams that every dreamer experience. The reality is, if you’re a dreamer then it is happening to you but you‘re probably just not aware of it.

In my previous articles on dreams, I would have mentioned to you that for the most part dreams are symbolic. However, more importantly the symbols that would appear in our dreams would be relative to our everyday life. Meaning, our dreams for the most part would be relative to our work, family, church etc. things that our environment or life is consist of. If we reference the bible days, their dreams were usually saturated with farming, animals, the sun, moon, stars etc. This was so because once they would have identified and understood the purpose of the symbols the interpretation were automatic.

The bible gives us an account of Joseph the son of Jacob who had a dream that he shared with his family. In this dream he said that he dreamt that the Sun, the moon and eleven stars were bowing down to him. His father being upset by Joseph’s dream jumped up and said, “What do you mean your mother and I and your brothers will bow to you?” Now the truth is Joseph never said a word concerning the interpretation of the dream. Nevertheless, his father understood that the Sun which is greater in light must represent himself, the moon must represent his wife and the eleven stars must represent Joseph’s eleven brothers. This is by far a clear example of understanding the significance and purpose of things concerning your everyday life, so that once it shows up in your dreams you can convert its purpose in an effort to make sense of your dream.

Now, In the world of dreams there is what is called “Dream markers”. Dream markers are specific symbols in a person’s dream that has a specific personal meaning to them. For example, some folks if they ever see any type of fish in their dreams, they become immediately alarmed because as a marker for themselves fish symbolizes fertility or pregnancy, while for others it has an entirely different meaning. So dream markers are identifying specific symbols that have personal meaning to you that no matter how the dream presents itself those markers provides a clear and specific understanding to the dreamer.

Using myself as an example, I had a dream this morning and in this dream I was rushing to catch a flight. However, as I approached what appeared to be Customs/Immigration section, my travel documents were taken away from me by the officer. The officer glanced at my travel documents with a mean look then gave them back to me along with a white document and said I must join the line. This line that he spoke of led all the way outside of the building, which clearly meant I would not make my flight. I could recall not only being very disappointed in the dream but very confused.

Now, the dream markers in this case for me were, whenever I have dreams where I am either being hindered or being sent back in any situation. The dream automatically symbolizes pending or current delay and setback for me in the natural. Secondly, in this dream I recognized the emotions of confusion and disappointment in this dream, which again is a marker for me but also speaks of pending confusion and disappointment in the natural as a result of the setback and the delay. As a reminder, dreams are spiritual and are always revealing what is pending or currently taking place in the spirit realm to be manifested in our natural world or currently being manifested. So you need not ask, but like I have been instructing you throughout these teachings, when I woke up I began a series of canceling and rejecting of this dream from the spirit realm via prayer so that there would be no physical manifestation in the natural realm. I think this bears repeating. In order for things of the spirit to manifest in our natural realm be it good or evil there must be an agreement between things that are spiritual and things that are natural. Thus, when we cancel and pray against a dream we are severing all knowing or unknowing agreements that were made in our dreams. Scripture clearly says, "While men slept (during his dreams), his enemy (Satan and his evil spirits) came and plant evil spiritual seeds and then went his way" Matthew 13:25. Again, if these seeds which truly represents evil covenants that have been forged in your dreams are not spiritually challenged, then the manifestation of those evil dreams will come to pass.

In closing I need you to keep in mind that the reality behind every dream is the seeking of your approval or agreement, be it covertly or overtly by spirits, Angelic or demonic. Again, the reason for this is, the law of physical manifestation requires the agreement between things that are spiritual with things that are natural in order for physical manifestation to occur. So if you choose not to cancel your dreams if it’s not a good dream, then it’s equivalent to agreeing with the dream (silence takes consent). This is the primary law of the spirit realm to take special note of because if you’re being given something in a dream such as an envelope, a piece of paper or something that is sealed. The mere fact that you accepted it symbolizes your agreement in the dream. The question is what is it that you have agreed to? It could have been your death warrant in the dream you have agreed to that could either spell physical death for you in the natural or the ending of something very important to you in the natural.

Again, like I have admonished you in my previous teachings on dreams, the safest prayer to pray upon waking from these dreams especially if you don’t understand the dream is the following: “Lord if this dream is of you then I come in total agreement with your desire for my life, However Lord, if this dream was not of you, then I cancel and reject all the plans of the enemy for my life from the root which is in the spirit realm and command it to be destroyed by spiritual fire in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen!
