WHAT IS A DREAM?

It is a series of thoughts, images and pictures that occur during

sleep. Dreams are spiritual monitors telling you what is going on in

the spirit world. They are dark sayings and parables that are

transmitted during sleep. They are vehicles of communication of

information during sleep. They are images that occur in definite

sequence in your sleep. They are messages from your spiritual life

and your inner being. They represent viewing of images on the

screen within your mind.

Note carefully the following important statements:

- Every dream has at least one message to convey to the dreamer.

- We have no power to control the contact of our dream.

- Every dream has a meaning, even if it appeared as a disorganized

nonsense.

- Dreams are reliable messages.

- Dreams reveal the condition of the heart as well as the voice of

God within your heart. Since most people live a noisy life, the

only time God speaks to them is when they are asleep.

- The Bible contains symbols for dream interpretation.

- Looking at dreams scientifically will not yield any result because

you cannot scientifically explain what is going on.

- The moment you are born, you begin to dream. So, babies do

dream, and children too, do dream. Sometimes, you find them

screaming from their sleep. And this is part of the reason you

need to be careful what toys you buy for them, because for most of them, those toys become living things in their dreams and may

become their spiritual friends.

- When the Holy Spirit interprets your dreams, it can be used as a

map for your journey through life.

- An un-interpreted dream is like an unread letter.

When you begin to read your Bible carefully, you will find that

there are over 50 references to dreams therein. Joseph the son of

Jacob dreamt. Joseph, the father of Jesus dreamt. Solomon got his

wisdom from a dream. Pharaoh dreamt. Daniel dreamt.

Nebuchadnezzar dreamt. Daniel 1: 17 says, "As for these four

children, God gave them knowledge and skill in all learning and

wisdom: and Daniel had understanding in all visions and dreams."

Dreams can sometimes be a variation of prophecies and God

uses them to communicate with us. By the time you gather together

all the dreams and visions in the Bible and all the things that follow

them, one third of the Bible is already written.

WHAT ARE THE SOURCES OF DREAMS?

They are:

- From God. - From satan. - From man.

All the three sources need interpretations.

IMPORTANCE OF DREAMS

One good way you can know what is going on in your life is

through your dreams. Your dream represents your spiritual monitor.

It tells you what is going on in your life. It is therefore a tragedy

when somebody says that he or she does not dream. Such a person

actually does, but the problem is that he or she fails to remember.

His or her ability to recall has been removed by the enemy. Job 33:

14 says, "For God speaketh once, yea twice, yet man perceiveth it

not." God is talking to people but many of them do not understand.

Verses 15-16 say. "In a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep

sleep falleth upon men, in slumbering upon the bed. Then he

opened the ears of men, and sealeth their instruction." All these

happen in the dream. Why? The reasons are clearly indicated in

verses 17-18: "That he may withdraw man from his purpose, and

hide pride from man. He keepeth back his soul from the pit, and his

life from perishing by the sword." So, your dream life is your spiritual

monitor.

If we could interpret a little bit of what God shows us in our

dreams, we would be able to prevent many bad things that befall us

from happening. Surely it is not everything that God shows, but He

shows enough to save us from all kinds of dangers and troubles.

The Bible says that the secret things belong unto the Lord our God,

and those things, which are shown are shown unto our children, and

us that we may obey God and prosper (Deuteronomy 29: 29).

Numbers 12: 6 says, "And he said, Hear now my words: If there be

a prophet among you, I the Lord will make myself known unto him in

a vision, and will speak unto him in a dream." This means that the

Lord God of hosts can speak to you in a dream. Genesis 40:8

says, "And they said unto him, We have dreamed a dream, and

there is no interpreter of it. And Joseph said unto them, Do not

interpretations belong to God? Tell me them, I pray you." So, correct

interpretation of dream belongs to God. God is the one that

interprets dreams.

Through the ministry of dreams, the Lord sometimes tells a

person what is about to happen. Sometimes, a man is about to fall

into an open pit but cannot see it, but the Lord will show it to him

and so prevent him from falling into the pit. Sometimes, a man is

about to perish but a simple revelation he gets from a dream will

save him from perishing. Acts 2: 17 says, "And it shall come to

pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all

flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your

young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream

dreams."

Sometime ago, a very big man had a dream in which he found

himself in his own church and they were conducting a funeral service

and were saying, "We shall gather at the river, beautiful river. We

shall gather with other saints at the river." He sang joyfully with them

but at a time something said to him, "Excuse me, who died?" When

he heard that question, he did what was most important: He turned

to the back of the pamphlet and there he saw his own picture. When

he saw this picture, he started screaming: "Stop singing this song. I

am not dead. Stop it." But to his amazement they continued, saying,

"You already sang with us, it is finished." When he woke up, because

of spiritual ignorance he did not know what to do. Somebody with a

little bit of knowledge would have known that that could not have

been a congregation of Christians. What he saw as a church was

not a church but a gathering of witches. The fact that he asked them

to stop and they did not stop shows that they had already concluded

their agenda. The man did not know what to do because he was

going to a religious church every Sunday. Somebody with a little bit

of knowledge would have commanded that congregation to scatter.

He would have roasted that pamphlet with fire. He would have

declared, "I shall not die but live to declare the works of the Lord."

And that would have taken care of that revelation. Before that week

ran out, his wife and five children had an accident in the family car

and all of them died. While they were busy preparing how to bury

these six persons, this man also had an accident and died. So, the

whole family was wiped out in one. week. Why? This man's inability

to interpret a simple spiritual message that God showed him.

That is why it is often said that every man's mountain is his

ignorance and that the enemy will play on you according to the level

of your ignorance. That is why the Bible says: "You shall know the

truth and the truth (that you know) will set you free." For the truth

you don't know, it is just too bad.

When I was in England studying for a doctorate degree, I was

saving money as I thought that after two years, I would visit home,

spend two weeks and go back. The course was for three years. As I

prayed one night and slept, I had a dream that I was at the Ikeja

airport and they announced that those travelling to so and so place

should go and board the plane. I went to the tarmac and saw the

plane taking off. I was there looking at it and it took off. I ran all over

the place asking, "How can I go, how can I go?" Nobody answered

me. Somebody said, "If you ask me that question again, I will give

you a dirty slap," and I woke up. The interpretation was very clear. It

simply meant that if I went home that year, I might have difficulty

coming back. So, although I had gathered the money, I did not go.

All my fellow students who went home that time eventually lost a

semester because after they came in, there was a coup and the

airport was closed up. That dream saved me a lot of stress.

Many years ago, we prayed with a sister, who lived in

America, married and with four children. One day in a dream, a

white woman walked into her home and said, "Woman, give me your

wedding gown." She went to her box and brought it out and the

white woman collected it. The white woman gave another command:

"Madam, give me your wedding ring." She removed it from her

finger, gave it to the woman and woke up. When she and her

husband were having their breakfast at the dinning table, she said:

"Darling, I had a funny dream" and told him the dream. The man

said, "Forget it, forget it." But within two weeks, a strange white

woman had taken away her husband and few weeks after, she was

deported to Nigeria. The white woman took over the home and took

over the care of her four children. It is dangerous to be ignorant of

what God is showing you. God is a good and kind God; He will

always want to give useful information.

This topic is very important now because the time is getting

more dangerous. It is not good for somebody to go out in the

morning, and something terrible happens and he says, "Ah I had

seen it in the dream." Many years ago, a commuter bus driver

knocked a fellow into the gutter at a bus stop. Fortunately, he did not

die. When they brought him out, he was not angry at all. He said, "I

saw it, I saw it. But something told me not to stay at this bus-stop."

The confusion that many people are experiencing now will be

over if they can check their dream life. The place where some

people are working now and are not happy, something in their dream

life would have told them that it is a wrong place.

Sometime ago, a sister had a dream, she did not understand.

While they were still courting, she found herself and her husband-to-

be at the altar and a priest wearing cassock was there joining them

together. What was surprising to her was that in the dream, the

husband-to-be, that was taller than her, was a pigmy. She had to be

bending down to hold his hand. He was so short that he was below

her knee. She did not understand. However. two weeks after the

wedding, she understood because of the one blow the man gave to

her right eye. She now realized that what God was trying to say

was. "My daughter, you are marrying a spiritual baby, so whatever

he does to you is your own lookout." The position of the pastor is

very clear. If you bring a cockroach or serpent to the altar, he would

only ask if it is your husband. and if you say yes, he would ask the

man if you were his wife. If he also says yes, the pastor would

pronounce you husband and wife. Even if it was not a pastor that

made the pronouncement, but a herbalist or an imam, That was it. It

is binding.

FACTORS THAT CAN INFLUENCE YOUR

DREAMS

There are factors that can influence your dream either

positively or negatively.

FACTORS THAT CAN INFLUENCE YOUR

DREAMS POSITIVELY

There are seven factors that can influence your dreams

positively:

1. Prayer and fasting: Anyone who lives a regular life of

prayer and fasting will not be a candidate of nightmares.

2. Purity: When your life is pure, there are some things the

enemy cannot bring to your life.

3. Knowledge of the word of God: When you read your

Bible and meditate upon it, it has a positive effect on your dream life.

There are some videos that the enemy will not slot into your spiritual

machine if you have the knowledge of the word.

4. Regular anointing of yourself: Some clever sisters put

anointing oil in their cream, pomade, or soap, so that there is no way

it won't touch them on a daily basis. Anointing yourself regularly has

a positive effect on your dream life.

5. Baptism of the Holy Ghost: Being filled with the Holy

Ghost has a positive effect on your dream life.

6. Regular self-deliverance: When you carry out regular

self-deliverance, it has positive effect on your dream life.

7. Good company: When you move with good company, it

has positive effect on your dream life.

When you consistently do these seven things, they will impact

on your dream life positively.

FACTORS THAT CAN INFLUENCE YOUR

DREAM LIFE NEGATIVELY

What are the factors that influence your dream life negatively?

There are nine of them:

1. The flesh: When the flesh is in control of your life, your

dream life will be terrible. Drinking, smoking, committing fornication,

going to all kinds of places, improper dressing, etc. will influence

your dream life negatively.

2. Careless eating and drinking: What you eat and drink will

negatively affect your dream life. For example, alligator pepper or

bitter kola will negatively affect your dream life. When you eat food

from anywhere, it will negatively affect your dream life.

3. Environmental factors: If somebody has just committed

fornication in a room where you are going to sleep or you are living

in a house where the foundation is demonic, this will affect your

dream life. Or if you are in a place where pregnancies are being

aborted, of course, that will negatively affect your dream life.

4. Bad company: If you live with the foolish you become

foolish. There is no way somebody who wants to have an "A" in

mathematics can make it if he is always moving with his friends who

always get zero. The Bible says that if you move with the wise, you

will be wise; if you move with the foolish, you will be foolish. If your

friend is a fool, then you will soon become one. Bad company will

have negative impact on your dream life.

5. Cultural orientation: There are many people, who clamour

for culture. But our forefathers practised culture and still became

slaves. Some people are still practising it. They set Christianity one

side and demonic culture one side. Don't get me wrong: many of our

cultures are very good and scriptural, For example respect for

elders. But with others such as "Every woman stay in your house,

don't come out today because one masquerade is coming," is

another thing entirely.

6. Sickness, illness and poor feeding: Any dream you have

when you have malaria, will not make sense. If you are not feeding

well, it will also negatively affect your dream life.

7. Demonic oppression: When demons are oppressing a

person, it will manifest in his dream life.

8. Prayerlessness: A person could stay at a vigil and pray

from 10 pm to 5 am but in the record of heaven, what is written

down for him is two minutes, because those two minutes were the

only time he concentrated and prayed. Although he prayed for seven

hours, they say it is two minutes.

9. Lack of scriptural knowledge: This will impact on your

dream life negatively.

DREAM ERASERS

There are some powers that reduce your ability to recall your

dreams. We call them dream erasers. They erase your dream so

that you won't take any action when you wake up.

What are these dream erasers? There are 13 of them:

1. Incisions: The number one dream eraser in this

environment is incision in any part of the body, particularly the head.

2. Enchantment or bewitchment to blindfold: That is, a

person is charmed not to see and he won't see.

3. Demonic dwelling place: Of course, if you are living in a

demonic house, you won't remember your dreams.

4. Polluted foods: You have to be very careful where you eat

Before you go somewhere to eat, check the signboard. Look at the

name of the place. When somebody says, "Hot Head Restaurant" or

"Mermaid Cafeteria," and you go inside there and eat, well, you

asked for it. You have been told what they do there. You have to be

very careful. A certain brother saw somebody roasting only three

plantains on the fire, and the peel of the plantains were not there,

nor were there any other plantains on the ground. Yet the brother

bought all three plantains and began to eat almost immediately. He

crossed to the other side of the street, but as he looked back, both

the woman and the fireplace she was using had disappeared. He

stuck his fingers into his throat, trying to vomit the plantain.

5. Superstition: It is a dream eraser.

6. Worry and anxiety: Worry and anxiety will rub off every

useful information that God is giving to you.

7. Demonic attack: Demonic attack on your memory will

erase your dreams.

8. Pity party: Celebrating a pity party, sympathizing with

yourself will erase your dreams.

9. Household stronghold: Once a spirit is assigned against

you for a destructive purpose, it will be rubbing off any dream that

will give you information.

10. Sudden waking of a person or disturbance: These can

erase his dream.

11. Incomplete deliverance.

12. Aggressive spirit husband or spirit wife: They operate

jealously and will not allow the victim to recall any dream.

13. Covenant of backwardness: Once a person has entered

into a covenant of backwardness, he will not remember all the

dreams that will make him progress. The enemy will completely

erase them.

WHY WE SHOULD PAY ATTENTION TO

OUR DREAMS, WHY WE SHOULD NOT

IGNORE THEM.

Reason number one is that God can bring assurance,

encouragement, comfort and direction to you in your dream. God

can bring instruction, guidance, correction and exhortation to you in

your dream.

The second reason is that dreams can bring us a revelation of

the plans and purposes of God for our lives, because He has

declared that He will speak to us through dreams and visions.

Meaning that God uses dreams as vehicles of divine

communication.

Reason number three is that God does significant things with

dreams. For example, the Abrahamic covenant in Genesis 15 was

given to Abraham in the dream. The supernatural gift of Solomon

was given to him in the dream.
