Season's of NO DREAMS

[Cholette 0]

Hello!!

I wanted to ask all of you if you have ever gone through seasons where you didn't dream at all. A friend of mine is concerned at the fact that she isn't dreaming. She says her prayer life has increased and she can hear the Lord more clearly in her prayer time. Could this be the reason why she isn't dreaming? Could the Lord be letting her know that everything he needs to tell her now she is able to hear in her heart as opposed to seeing pictures in her sleep? I didn't know what to tell her because I'm dreaming like crazy and I didn't want to mention that just in case that would give her some type of complex or something. :zipit:

Has anyone else experienced this? If so, do you have an understanding to why this happened to you?

Thanks!!!

I sometimes go through a period of time where it seems I don't dream. I honestly do not know why that is. I just trust God to let me know if I need to do anything or if there is a different task he needs me to preform.

God bless,

Connie

This is purely a scientific point: Has she started any new medications or changed/increased her exercise lately. Medications can definitely affect your sleep stages and therefore time spent in dreaming. Overall, has her sleep pattern changed as well as her dream pattern, i.e., is she sleeping harder or lighter or less amount of time?
Yes, it could also be that God wants to take away the one form of communication to cause her to explore other ways of experiencing and hearing God. You might ask what her daily scripture reading time has been like. Has every passage she has turned to or every devotion she's come across or every sermon lately been "hitting the nail on the head" or have NONE of them been stirring her? Asking her these kinds of questions might allow her to do some closer self-inspection and she'll be able to figure out (w/ God's guidance, of course) whether the no-dreams thing is OK or not.
