    understanding your dreams.

    encouragement, instruction, wisdom, direction,
    safety, help, intercession, warfare,
    impartation/anointing, prophetic, and
    discovery/revelation.
  • We will take a look at each type.

    relationships, insecurities, etc. need to healed.
    Our Dreams many times are Gods Process of
    restoration and healing for the broken emotions
    in our life.

Comfort Dreams

    distresses.
  • Example the broken-headed dog dream
  • Dream of my Mom
  • Others

Warning Dreams
  • Most people see and understand this aspect of
    dreams. These are not set events but display a
    possible bad outcome that can avoided by applying
    wisdom.

Encouragement Dreams
  • These are dreams that depict something good
    happening as the result of your actions. This
    is frequently a prophetic message of your future.
  • Preaching before many people, miracles, healings,
    seeing your family serving God, Jesus appearing,
    angels helping, etc.

12
Instruction/Wisdom
  • This is probably the most common. God shows you
    in a scenario where you choose a course of action
    or see someone choose a course of action. This
    can be an instruction.
  • Bicycle ahead of father, being pulled over by
    policeman without hat, He is waiting on you,

Prophetic Dreams
  • It not uncommon to dream of future events. These
    can be tricky because you may want interpret them
    as figurative when they will depict an actual
    event unfolding.
  • Forrest R Dream, Carson dream, David K fork truck
    dream
  • They still have some figurative meaning

Intercession/Warfare

    you can gain key insights into how to secure the
    victory.

    accident-gun battle, explosion

Impartation/Anointing
  • Sometimes you will dream that you are being
    prayed for or you are praying for others. Since
    you are in the Spirit Realm in a dream, your
    prayer are working and you are receiving prayers.

Revelation/Discovery Dreams
  • Sometimes God will reveal information only He
    could know about a situation. These can be also
    be tricky because they may look like it needs
    interpretation when they are literal. When you
    know something in a dream and dont know how you
    know, this is frequently a Holy Spirit
    Revelation.
