Four Simple Ways To Know If God Is Trying To Talk To You Through Your Dreams
By: Oudney Patsika | Focus: Dream Interpretation, Divine Guidance & Prayer
The Divine Portal of the Night: Prayer helps us to convey to God all the positive, negative, and challenging situations and feelings that arise in our lives. In fact, it’s through prayer that we can thank Him and ask Him for help or solutions to difficult problems. However, identifying God’s exact guidance, help, or comfort is often more difficult than just bowing our heads and praying.
This difficulty is partly because God uses many different means to contact us. He may reach us through another person, an image, a passing phrase, a deep feeling, or profoundly—through a dream. If you feel like God might be communicating to you through your dreams but you are unsure how to decode it, here are four extensive ways to discover His message.
Way 1: Make a Record of Repetitive Dreams
God often repeats a matter to establish it. What you perceive as an annoying recurring dream might actually be a persistent divine message waiting to be decoded.
A. Analyze the Lingering Feelings
Even if you don’t think your repeating dreams are important, they often leave lingering feelings in your heart upon waking. Don’t ignore these feelings. Instead, actively analyze them. God uses our spiritual and emotional senses to validate the weight of a dream.
B. The Power of the Dream Journal
Write down those feelings and vivid descriptions of the dreams in a dedicated journal. After some time, search through your journal and see if you can find a common phrase, a specific person, or a recurring image that might give you an answer to a recent (or maybe a future) prayer.
C. No Coincidences
Remember this fundamental spiritual rule: With God, there are no coincidences. Don’t hesitate to record dreams and thoroughly analyze them for spiritual messages. The pattern is the blueprint.
Way 2: Pay Attention to the Symbolism
God is the master creator, and He often speaks in parables and symbols. Learning to interpret the language of heaven is key to your breakthrough.
A. Recognizing the Unseen
The world is full of symbols. There are many that you probably don’t recognize initially, but if you look carefully, they have always been there. God often uses this symbolism to give you the exact answers you seek.
B. The Importance of "Insignificant" Details
You need to write down even the most insignificant part of your dreams because that one small, easily forgotten part could be the main key to unlocking what the dream means and what God is trying to tell you.
C. A Personal, Not Secret, Code
Looking for symbols is not the same thing as discovering God’s "secret code", because God actively tries to speak in a way that will make sense specifically for you and your current season. Sometimes it is necessary to focus on the ordinary details of your dreams to know what God wants to tell you.
Way 3: Heed the Messages You Hear
Sometimes God doesn't use symbols; He uses a clear, direct voice. The danger lies in dismissing the simplicity of His instruction.
A. The Trap of Disbelief
On more than one occasion, your dreams can reveal some incredibly important messages that, due to lack of attention or sheer disbelief, you simply don’t notice or act upon.
B. The Danger of Simplicity
It may be that given the simplicity or absolute clarity of the message, it’s considered unimportant by your logical mind. However, you should never underestimate that advice since God might have been using your dream as a direct way to answer a question you just asked Him.
C. Comfort and Inner Knowing
While it’s true that not all dreams are a solution or response to your challenges, many of them can be a massive source of comfort and strength during a difficult time in your life. So if your heart tells you that you must listen to that simple but powerful message from your dream, don’t hesitate to do so.
Way 4: Pray and Ask
The ultimate confirmation of any spiritual encounter is taking it back to the Author of the dream. Inquiry is the seal of revelation.
A. Communicating for Clarity
Just as God gives you the opportunity to communicate with Him for help, comfort, or counsel, He also allows you to pray specifically to know if your recent dreams are answering your prayers.
B. The Most Effective Method
Asking Him directly if that special, memorable dream that you had is part of the message that He has for you is, without doubt, the most effective way to know if God is trying to tell you something.
C. The Love of the Father
Finally, remember that as the son or daughter of God you are, He will always seek to stay in touch with you and actively show you the great love He has for you through every available portal, especially your dreams.
