What Are The Spiritual Meaning and Purpose Of Our Dreams? As Christians, Why Is It Important That We Are Dreaming Daily? Free Dream Interpretation Worksheet!

Types Of Dreams:

1.) Soul Memory or Cellular Memory Dream (soulish)

2.) Demonic Dream

3.) Dream from The Holy Spirit

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. As a believer in Jesus Christ, your spirit man, one-third of you, is now in sinless perfection and Christ lives in your spirit man. You have a soul, and in that soul is your intellect, your reason, and your emotion. (Mind, will and emotions). Your soul is still needing sanctification from wounds, trauma and wrong thinking. The enemy can still manipulate you through those wounds in your soul. This is why when we receive Christ, the sanctification process begins to cleanse and heal your soul to match your spirit man and become more like Christ in your mind, will and emotions. This is why Christians can still have demons and unclean spirits, they have legal rights to attach to an unhealed soul. Soulish Dreams can expose what needs to be healed and cast out.   (Get the soul cleansing/healing 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 and have unhealed wounds in your soul. 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 in the Armor of God 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. NEVER ever agree with a demonic dream. (See how to cancel a demonic dream with prayer here.)

3. Holy Spirit Dreams – These dreams are messages, instruction, and confirmations from God for your life and for others’ lives and for the Kingdom of God in the earth.  All dreams from the Holy Spirit must be written down and dated. Then ask the Holy Spirit to give you guidance on that dream’s meaning and how to apply it.  He speaks in signs and symbols. This could take hours, days, weeks, and even months before you have the full revelation.  This is why we are told in scripture to keep asking, keep seeking and keep knocking and all will be given to you, that includes revelation.  Holy Spirit dreams can also be special items 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 realm, 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.  The Holy Spirit will never give you a dream that does not confirm in the word of God.  He is focused on your growth, deliverance, healing, fulfilling your purpose, helping others fulfill their purpose, pointing you to a closer relationship with God – and revealing plans and purposes to advance the Kingdom of God in the earth for Jesus Christ.  Remember, fear is NOT of God.  Holy Spirit will never give you a fearful dream.  He will give you gentle warnings and correction, but never fear.  He always speaks in signs and symbols, numbers, colors, animals, nature, objects and buildings etc.  For example people have dreams about tsunami’s and they think it’s a warning from God that a tsunami is going to come and destroy a place. However this is not what that means.  Tsunami in a dream is a sign of a great outpouring of the Holy Spirit coming in powerfully. Biblically a sign of water represents the Spirit of God. This is why we have to discern and ask the Holy Spirit for daily sharp discernment in what He is speaking in our dreams. (Here is a good prayer to ask for discernment.)

NOW please understand, your dream meanings from the Holy Spirit 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. (Get our biblical number meanings list here.).  Another good Biblical Numbers resource is “PropheticNumbers.com” with Pastor Troy Brewer.  I also highly recommend studying the Hebrew Alphabet because it is apha-numeric, numbers mean letters and letters mean numbers, and the Hebrew numbers each represent a symbol.  Many times in my dreams the Holy Spirit has led me to the Hebrew number meanings, because that is God’s main language that He wrote with His own finger in stone for the 10 Commandments.  The more you know about Hebrew signs and symbols the better you will understand the root of all biblical context in the word of God. This helps exponentially in discerning your dreams.

Key Starting Points In Dream and Vision Interpretation

Tools You Need:

• Holy Bible – I suggest the KJV (King James Version) for established Bible readers and the NLT (New Living Translation) for new believers and beginner Bible readers.
• Strong’s Lexicon Concordance for Greek and Hebrew
• Hebrew Alphabet with Alpha Numeric Meanings and Symbols
• Journal
• Dream Worksheet (Get printable link for dream worksheet pdf here)

Dream Journal Basics:

1. Time and date
2. What activity were you doing in the dream?
3. What location were you in?
4. Any strangers? People you know?
5. What symbols and signs stood out to you?
6. Any colors stand out to you?
7. Any vehicles or buildings?
8. Any animals, birds, or insects?
9. Any numbers or words?
10. What is the instruction?
11. Revelation? What insight? Direction?

Dreams help you in the daily sanctification process that Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit are working in you to bring you healing, growth and prosperity for you to become more of the Image of Christ. So then you can walk in fullness of your purpose and do the works of Christ. Working toward the goal of your full Kingdom authority, in the works of Christ, in the prophetic, prosperity in health and wealth and operating in the glory of God here in the earth!

I found a teaching by Dr. Clarice Fluitt that explains this the best, here is a quote: “Let me tell you how it works. Let me make it so easy. There is a scripture in Proverbs 19:10, and you’ll find the more accurate rendering in the new English contemporary Bible. And it says, “It is a shameful thing for a servant to rule in the house of a king.” I began to realize that my body is a servant, my soul is like a queen, and my spirit is a king.

My queen has been under the influence of a servant all of my life until my King… until I got born again. And the scripture says, “Both he that sanctifies, and he that is sanctified has become one.”

My spirit and the spirit of God became one. A third of me lives in sinless perfection. The mystery of free will, soul, intellect, reason, and emotion is caught between what the servant says. It’s always led by five senses. What does it look like, smell like, taste like, feel like, sound like? These are the gates that the Bible says open all your gates so that the King of Glory can come in and go out.”

This is why we can command our soul to be healed and take authority over our flesh! This is why we SUIT UP in the Armor of God to protect our “gates” or “senses”.  Dreams help us and speed us up in this sanctification process.

DREAM SYMBOL MEANING RESOURCES:

Understand my dream book is a resource to point you to the word of God for all meanings to help you unpack your dream step by step and give you revelation, understanding and application moving forward. This is to teach you that the Holy Spirit gives you the signs and symbols to point you to the meanings in scripture, to help you take action according to the word and the will of God on your next steps.

I am teaching you HOW to do this. The Holy Bible can be searched for symbolic meanings and I list the resources how to do that in my book as well as 100’s examples with dreams I have interpreted for many people with direct scriptural references in my dream book.  My dream book is set up to be a partner resource with your Bible, you can write notes in it, highlight it, copy the worksheets in it.  It’s a very good tool for your spiritual toolbox.

If you really read my dream book FULLY you will begin to get into the flow and understanding of this.  When you finally come out of old fleshly and secular habits and deeply seek the word of God, by partnering with the Holy Spirit for understanding your dreams, all will quickly and clearly make sense to you! 

Now, for searching out signs and symbols meanings in scripture I have directed you here and in my dream book to https://www.biblegateway.com/ and also https://www.biblestudy.org/bible-study-by-topic/main.html you can search any topic, symbol, sign, number and it’s use and meaning in scripture.  Also I suggest in my book to use the online version of the Strong’s Concordance at Bible Hub https://biblehub.com/strongs.htm for larger number meanings such as four digit numbers and Greek and Hebrew roots of words. These are all tools every believer led by the spirit must have.

Then apply it to your worksheet.  It will begin to flow for you.  I DO explain this in my dream book too, and give these EXACT references and sites in my dream book, as well as offering the full scriptural meaning of colors, and some main numbers and birds and animals.  My goal with the dream book IS to EQUIP readers HOW to partner with the Holy Spirit and lead them to the WORD OF GOD to clearly discern their own dreams.  This is how I learned to do this. You will too.

Remember the Word of God is the Will of God. The Holy Spirit will never give you a dream that is against the Word of God. The more you know the Word of God and the more you seek the Father’s heart for you in His word the more you will understand. Every lesson and blessing in the Word that God had for others in the Bible are all meant for you too. You have to read the Bible with the partnership of the Holy Spirit, invite Him to give you clarity and understanding, remember Jesus prayer for you that we would have the same relationship with the Father that He has. Once you understand this and ask for this, the Holy Spirit goes to work in you, He points to Jesus and the Father’s heart through the Word to get you closer and give you what you seek. – Enjoy your dreams, it’s visitation time with the Holy Spirit. 

– Much love, Coach Annamarie
