Dream Interpretation From A Biblical Perspective – How To Cancel A Bad or Demonic Dream

Here are some things to understand with dreams:

When you sleep, your soul and your spirit are always awake. You have three types of dreams.

1.) Soulish Dreams – These come from stuff in your soul that is either from wounds or trauma from your past that gets stirred up, along with cell memories in your body that bring these things to the surface that the Holy Spirit wants you to deal with.  The Holy Spirit may be bringing you to repentance and even prompting you to get these wounds healed in your soul because He loves you and wants you healed and whole – you prosper as your soul prospers.  (See my soul cleansing prayer here.)

2.) Demonic Dreams – These come from demons and demonic assignments that are working against you – these demons only have access if you allow it and agree with it.  Demonic dreams must be cancelled in the name of Jesus as soon as you wake up, (unless you destroyed the demon in your dream, then praise God – the more you SUIT UP and take your Authority in Christ every day – the more authority you will have over anything demonic in your dreams!).  If you had a demonic dream years ago you can cancel it right now in Jesus name.

DEMONIC DREAM INTERPRETATION – IF THE DREAM HAD ANY NEGATIVITY, FEAR, STRIFE, ANGRY PEOPLE, CONFUSION,  OR YOU WERE LOST, WANDERING, LOSING THINGS, LOOKING FOR STOLEN THINGS, GETTING INTO STRANGE VEHICLES, STRANGER DRIVING YOU,  STRANGE PEOPLE FORCE FEEDING YOU – BEING CHASED, ATTACKED OR HELD CAPTIVE,  CAR ACCIDENTS, DEATH,  SEXUAL PERVERSION, THAT IS DEMONIC AND NEEDS TO BE CANCELLED AS SOON AS YOU WAKE UP – USE DISCERNMENT – IF IT CAUSED YOU ANY FEAR OR UPSET FEELING IN YOUR SPIRIT LISTEN TO THAT FEELING – FEAR, STRIFE, STRANGE STUFF THAT CAUSES CONFUSION IS NOT FROM GOD!!

Pray this to cancel a bad or demonic dream: “Father God in the name of Jesus I cancel that dream I had about _______. I renounce everything in that dream in Jesus name and I enforce the Blood of Jesus over that dream and mark that dream and everything that happened in that dream null and void in Jesus name! By the authority of Jesus Christ and by the power of the blood of Jesus, I send all curses and witchcraft sent to harm me in that dream back to the place from where it was sent and close the doors to all curses and witchcraft and seal it with the Blood of Jesus Christ!  Father God, in Jesus name I ask you to release your Holy Fire against any demons or demonic assignments in that dream and burn them to ashes!  Henceforth nothing from that dream will never be able to bother me again!  Father God, I ask you to send me Angelic protection over my dreams and sleep.  I receive your Angels Father God, thank you for sending them to keep me in all my ways, according to your word in Psalm 91.  I declare every night from this day forward I shall have sweet sleep and Holy Spirit filled dreams!  I now invite the Holy Spirit to come into my dreams tonight!  I declare my dreams are covered and protected by the Blood of Jesus Christ!  Thank You Father God for your love, promises and protection over my dreams and sleep!  Father God,  I believe you are doing all things for my good, even speaking to me in my dreams and I want to hear your voice Father God! I now dedicate and consecrate my dreams and sleep to you Father God all the days of my life, for Your Glory in Jesus name!”

Confess this out loud today: “I hear from God. I am led by His Holy Spirit. I know my Father’s voice, and the voice of a stranger I will not follow. I am guided by the Holy Spirit and God will guide me all the days of my life. His HOLY SPIRIT will guide me and give me the answers that I need. I renounce all unholy, ungodly voices!  Therefore, I invite the HOLY SPIRIT right now to come inside me and guide me.  I command my mind, body, soul and spirit to yield to the voice of the Holy Spirit in Jesus name!”

For Children: You can put your hands on your child’s forehead and simply pray: “In Jesus name I cancel the bad dream and I ask You Jesus to send your Angels to protect ________ while she/he sleeps.  We invite You Holy Spirit and Lord Jesus to come into his/her dreams to bring sweet and happy messages and restful sleep in Jesus name, Amen”

Children’s Bedtime Note: it is helpful to anoint your children before bed to soothe them, invite the Holy Spirit and declare scripture over them before they sleep – see my anointing prayers here.

3.) Holy Spirit Dreams – These dreams are messages, instruction and confirmations from God for your life and for others lives. All dreams from the Holy Spirit must be written down and dated, then ask the Holy Spirit to give you guidance on that dream meaning and how to apply it.  This could take days, weeks and even months before you have the full revelation.  Holy Spirit dreams can be special things being handed to you in a dream for you to get a breakthrough, a key, a sword, a scroll,  a lantern, etc.  These items can all lead you to your next steps, and of course take you to the word of God.  Having a baby in a dream means you are about to birth something ordained for your life’s purpose.  If you are actually trying to conceive a child in the natural, you may also dream about your baby or child to come.  If you see a certain prophet or teacher in that dream it means you are to seek the teachings of that person for a next step in your life right now.

NOW please understand – your dream meanings can include, colors or numbers being shown to you, even other signs. YOU MUST FOCUS ON BIBLICAL MEANINGS of these things only. The Holy Spirit’s job is to guide you to the Word of God and deeper revelation of the Kingdom.  Stick with BIBLICAL sources. For color meanings, look up the meanings of the colors of WORSHIP FLAGS. These colors have been deeply studied from the bible before these flags are made.  This is my source the Holy Spirit led me to and He has confirmed it over and over again.  For number meanings, I suggest the teachings of Troy Brewer “Numbers That Preach/PropheticNumbers.com” for a good Biblical resource.  Driving a vehicle in your dream means your Divine Purpose or Ministry.  Being in houses that need cleaning, restoration means your “soul needs a cleanup” (see my Soul Cleansing Prayer Here.)   Being in houses of your family means your family bloodline may need repentance – and to pray for your family’s salvation – it can also mean to focus on praying for your family to receive their blessings and inheritance and to go into the Courts of Heaven to remove any curses.  Being in a bathroom or going to the bathroom means you must repent of your sins and focus on soul cleansing and cleaning up your life. These are common things.  I do my best to help you.  Seeing certain animals in dreams should only be studied from biblical meanings or the nature of how God made that animal.  If the animal attacks you that is demonic and must be canceled.  DO NOT LOOK UP these things randomly online because it could lead you to new age and occult meanings that is NOT of God, understand ‘spirit animals’ is NOT of God!  We only have the HOLY SPIRIT, period – and HE is creator of all living things, and His Spirit – The Spirit of the Living God is alive on the earth speaking through all creation right now to us.  For example if you see a dragonfly or a butterfly repeatedly in the natural or in your dreams – the Holy Spirit is giving you a message, look up the nature of these – how do they grow, transform, what is their nature? God put a message for us in the nature of His creation, that could apply to your life at that moment.

Now if you are not sure if a dream is from God or not, Pray this prayer when you wake up:  “Holy Spirit, if that dream was not of you, I do not receive it in Jesus name. But, Holy Spirit, if that dream was of you, I receive it and ask for the interpretation, understanding, application and how to pray and proceed in Jesus name.”

Before you go to sleep, cover your dreams and sleep with the blood of Jesus. Cancel any demonic assignments and any demons that were assigned to you that night and tell them to leave and forbid them from touching your dreams and sleep in Jesus name the blood of Jesus is against them! Decree you have sweet sleep as written in the bible and your dreams and sleep belong to God. Invite Jesus and the Holy Spirit to visit you in your dreams and give you divine strategies for your life from the throne room of God in your sleep! Ask Father God in Jesus Name to post His Sentry Angels to surround your bed and stand guard over you with their fiery swords and shields as you sleep and protect you from all evil day and night. Anoint your bed on all four corners and your head and feet with anointing oil. Decree your bed holy and belongs to God! (See anointing prayers here.)

Be blessed! The Holy Spirit will guide you through your dreams and He always points to the word of God to confirm things – so stay in the word and He will reveal so much to you on your next steps in your life and purpose!

Sweet and restful dreams and sleep is God’s promise to you!

Proverbs 3:24 “When thou liest down, thou shalt not be afraid: yea, thou shalt lie down, and thy sleep shall be sweet.”

Much love to you and enjoy your sleep – it’s the best time to get revelation from the Holy Spirit!  He WANTS to speak to you in your dreams!  He loves to meet you there and help you with your life and purpose!
