many types of dreams

Saturday, May 23, 2020 (5:24a.m.)

Holy God,

Good morning. I love You. Thank You for a lot of work yesterday. As well as some sleep, rest and dreams.

Job 33:14-18. “But God speaks again and again, though people do not recognize it. He speaks in dreams, in visions of the night when deep sleep falls on people as they lie in bed. He whispers in their ears and terrifies then with His warning. He causes them to change their minds; He keeps them from pride. He keeps them from the grave, from crossing over the river of death.”

Father I ask You to alert me to the times my dreams are from You. With something specific You want me to know.

Catherine Segar's e-article on crosswalk.com shares her experience with five types of dreams.

1. Warning dreams are not nightmares, they’re assignments to pray.

2. Recurring dreams are to be taken seriously and committed to prayer. Ask God what they mean and follow His direction.

3. Waking dreams linger fresh in our minds as we wake up for the day. Commit it to prayer. Sometimes it helps us make decisions.

4. Decision dreams provide options or questions. Pray for wisdom and courage to make the right choice.

5. Dreams of encouragement lift our spirits when we need them most. Write them down. Refer to them often to combat discouragement.

Dreams can warn. Heal. Encourage. And instruct. You enable us to understand and make changes. Thank You Father.

Guide and direct me throughout this day, won’t You please?
