So how do you know which dreams are from God, which are your subconscious working things out and nonsense dreams, and which are from the Enemy.
Absolutely Helen, I just know in my knower, and I have found that if the message isn't immediately obvious, if I ask it will become clear.My answer would be..we know, because we know.
I have had about ten in my 55 years as a believer. Haven't had any for a long while now.
But, when it is from God, we don't have to say " Is that from You Lord."
He leaves us in no doubt.
When your mother spoke to you on the phone for 20 mins..did you hang up the phone and say. Was that my mother? No, you knew, because you knew her voice.
We know His voice.
If you have to 'wonder' if the dream was from God or not, then I would say, no it wasn't.
Even when we don't quite know everything He was saying in the dream and we maybe need time to pray and listen...there is still the assurance that "God spoke".

Oh sorry...I just noticed I was not on PAGE ONE...and this thread has 'moved on' since the OP
I just answered the OP ..then I started reading the rest of the responses!!

It's good in our waking moments to assess notions that may occur to us from time to time in the light of the Scriptures.So how do you know which dreams are from God, which are your subconscious working things out and nonsense dreams, and which are from the Enemy.
I have had apocolyptic dreams lately, but I have had end times on my mind a lot. Like the golden gate bridge collapsing...and Bibles being replaced with universal ones. Weird ones.
The big thing I question is who does the dream glorify and the purpose of God dreams. Id say God dreams are to edify the church/warn the church. While enemy dreams are to confuse/create fear.
I try to take dreams like a grain of salt, but I do pray for interpretation and discernment.
I think God gives us different sorts pf dreams for different reasons; like I sometimes dream about a person I know and wake up and feel I need to pray for them. I once dreamed that the Queen was shot at and I woke and prayed for her. The next day as she rode her horse in the Trooping the Colour parade a man in the crowd opened fire but didn't hit her. It gave me goosebumps. You can probably find an account of that on Google.Oh no, I appreciate your input!!!!! This is more for discussing everything about dreams and dreams in the Bible rather then trying to interpret...Im trying to understand them more. When I first came to be opened to the world of dreams, I posted one on CF that stayed with me a very long time that Chris interpreted and brought me here. and well, I think I've had God dreams. And a few Hidden has believed so as well. But I am leery of what to say is from God and what isnt. I mean one about Trump happened. He got elected. But the last one that I dont think has happened yet was so frightening, I question the source. In the Bible, Joseph told Pharaoh to save 1/5 of the grain in 7 years of plenty for the 7 years of famine. I'm first questioning, if I did see President Trump winning the election (mind you I knew nothing of politics at the time nor who he was except a business man), and this next one in the second dream I think, and a very disturbing third dream in the middle of the night, is this from God or the Enemy, what am I supposed to do with it, and how do I protect my family.
I am really just writing my thoughts on this. Honestly, I think this is more something I'm bringing to God, and trying to hear His voice on this. Because cant the enemy give the future too? Isnt that what seers and those in witchcraft did? How do I know it is not that? But three dreams on three consecutive nights...if I'm not 100% sure that is from God, could it still be? Maybe if the last two happen, I will know.
You must have felt startled...I think God gives us different sorts pf dreams for different reasons; like I sometimes dream about a person I know and wake up and feel I need to pray for them.

Dreams from God give comfort, guidance and personal guidance.
The do not reveal anything in addition to the Bible prophetically.
They are rare.
That was actually said in the Old Testament.Nothing can be added to the Bible. But Revelation does say that old men will have dreams and young men will have visions. That may be a good one to look at too...but I'm sort of looking in the OT right now...Revelation is a tough book...

It's re- quoted in the book of acts , at Pentecost when Peter speaks out. The original quote is from the book of Joel, when he is talking about the last days - I can never remember where quotes are from, but this came up in a discussion recently xxNothing can be added to the Bible.
