And does it automatically mean the person is under attack? What is the remedy?
Having sex in dreams
Getting married
Eating (I'm currently game if it's amala with gbegiri, ewedu and egufe 😭😭😭)
Somebody pursuing you
Seeing yourself in the past everytime etc
Bad dreams, good dreams. I've seen different interpretation for dreams Like so many.
You can literally type a dream online and you will see different answers to it. First, I will like us to clear what dreams are, where they are from and why we even dream in the first place
So what are dreams?
Dreams are images and imagery, thoughts, sounds and voices, and subjective sensations experienced when we sleep.
Our subconscious acting film kinda
Where are dreams from?
How are they planted?
2 things
*God
*Our mind
God can communicate with us through dreams.
We see this in the bible, especially in the old testament.
God speaking to so many people in their dreams.
But maybe God does explain what he does but speaks in ways that people don’t understand. He may speak in a dream, or in a vision at night, when people are in a deep sleep lying in their beds.
Job 33:14-15 ERV
When the Lord speaks to His people through dreams, is it for our amusement or for dreaming sake?
No.
There is always a purpose. Answers to prayers, revelations, warnings, confirmation/affirmations etc
We also have a lot of people he spoke to in the bible through dreams. Abraham, Joseph, Nebuchadnezzar etc
Dreams coming from our mind
This one is very common. Our brain kind of has a mind of its own. It takes in all the information we give it, randomly and stores somewhere.
What we watch, what we talk or think about, all of these things are being stored somewhere.
Our subconscious works on this information and produces proper season movie while we are asleep
For thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel; Let not your prophets and your diviners, that be in the midst of you, deceive you, neither hearken to your dreams which ye cause to be dreamed.
Jeremiah 29:8 KJV
There is a part in scripture that says our dreams come from multitude of activities. All the things we feed on. All activities we indulge in.
I'm having a dream where someone is having sex with me or beating me and I'm waking up with marks on my body. Is it God planting that one too or my mind?
Definitely, God did not plant this dream. And your mind did not carry cane to beat you.
Which brings me to something else...Dreams can be influenced by Demonic entities. Not just dreams now, all aspects of us. On one condition sha, access
When we let the enemy in, we cannot determine to what extent he works. What he does and how he does it
While the enemy cannot plant dreams directly, he can perform his activities inside of us if given permission/access. Because this is still activity (physical or spiritual), our subconscious sometimes takes them while our mind is at rests and produces a dream.
We wake up and realise its actually not just a dream, it's like it happened for real
I used to bedwet while I was growing up. I will dream that I wanted to urinate then I stood up and go to the toilet and peed. Only to wake up to see that I did not stand up to any toilet, I peed on my body. Felt like a dream but it was reality
For this mind part, My younger brother likes football very much. He will play and play throughout the day then when he is sleeping at night you will be hearing. Emmanuel pass the ball, pass the ball
Or is it my elder brother that likes head of fish and while he is sleeping, you will be hearing:
Mummy ori eja ni mo fe. E ma fun Keji o
Mummy I want head of fish, don't give Keji
Will be breaking down
Dreams coming through our minds and Dreams as a result of activities of demonic entities.
How do we stop these things? Do I have a control over them? Answer is YES
1. Since dreams can come through our mind, then we have to watch what we feed our mind.
What do you expose yourself to? We can't be watching porn all day and expect to not have wet dreams? For some of us, we are more sensitive. Just a movie scene with sex in it and you will start dreaming all sorts
What kind of conversations do you have?
What kind of books do you read?
What kind of movies do you watch?
Start by decluttering your mind. Anything that has appearance of evil or filth, first of all clear them.
What are you always thinking about? Man, how your husband will carry you and pin you to the wall?
But boyfriend you don't have yet.
Why are we bothering with such information that do not concern us yet? Information that we can't act upon and because we can't do anything about it, our mind will help us do things about it. It will process well.
Please, declutter
Rid yourself of these things. Empty your mind of anything that is not profitable to you, the man in Christ.
Now, some of us might probably say:
Remi, I don't think about such things. I don't do all you said but I still have bad dreams that seem real
This is still very possible even with the absence of those things we mentioned.
Before I explain further, for those that really do not believe these things happen, let's go back to the story of the man with legions
This man would cut himself with stones, throw himself on the floor, in broad daylight. All thanks to demonic influence.
If the enemy can do as he likes during the day without fear, then he can operate even while we sleep as long as he is given access
A lot of people are being oppressed and influenced by Demonic entities today but they don't know what they've done wrong.
How did the enemy get access?
The answer is this: EMPTINESS
You see, when we are asked to declutter our mind and stop taking in contents that are bad for us, this doesn't hinder the enemy in any way.
There is still accommodation for him in that space
Then the evil spirit goes out and brings seven other spirits more evil than itself. They all go and live there, and that person has even more trouble than before. It is the same way with the evil people who live today.” Mathew 12:45
I like how the ERV tagged this part, The Danger of Emptiness. That is the access we give to the enemy, emptiness
We don't need to chant for demons to come or specially invite them with words
Emptiness is password accepted for them
See what the last part says, when the evil spirits come and meet emptiness, the individual is troubled/oppressed even more than before
The heart of man has to be filled always. If we empty our heart from evil without filling it with something that the enemy cannot withstand, worse evil will rush back in
In essence, Jesus was telling these people that the purpose is not just to empty the house but to fill it with Himself.
I know somebody is about to shout, I have Christ so I can't be oppressed by the enemy.
Calm down 🙄
The filling here is Knowledge of Christ and all that He has done
You cannot rely on what you don't know/believe.
The Word of God
An hypocrite with his mouth destroyeth his neighbour: but through knowledge shall the just be delivered.
Proverbs 11:9 KJV
The just is delivered through Knowledge. Through Knowledge of what? Christ, his righteousness!
Where do you gain this knowledge? The word.
Nothing can be revealed to you outside of the word. Nothing
Fill yourself up with the word. Not just basic reading now, meditate on it. Let the word dwell in you richly till it is all that your core system believes.
Another thing that works is Worship
We see this in the story of Saul.
Do you have really terrible dreams often?
1. The Word (We can never bypass this o). Spend time studying and meditating daily. Even while you do other things, let the word of God fill your heart
2. Worship (especially before you go to bed)
Don't joke with this one o. And when I say worship, I don't just mean singing (that's expression of worship not worship itself). True worship, deep intense one. Soak yourself in it
I assure you that all of those dreams and influences will stop.
Please if you have any kind of bad dreams, do put this to trial. And if you need help with anything or accountability, you can reach out to me privately.
