Goodness! This is wonderful and thank you for replying. I know I am replying almost a year late- I didn't realize that you had responded and this is a very thorough and thoughtful reply. I know that during that time, I had been very open to different ideologies and ideas of the secular world, but that were not God's plan. For instance, I had found myself wondering whether people could possibly be born gay, or for example wondering "What if I have been wrong the whole time about Christianity and Jesus?" These were little sneaking thoughts that I never fully embraced, but would pop up from time to time. I believe God was telling me to totally divorce those thoughts and cling to God's word as the guide for all of my questions. Thus I think you were right on target- I was struggling with the temptation of believing the worlds ideologies instead of the truths of Christ.

Hi all,
I am looking for help intrpreting a reoccurring dream. In this dream, I am cheating on my husband. In the dream, a man approaches me and sometimes I accept the proposition but other times, I reject. I never have sex, but I usually end up kissing another man. I usually dont remember that I am married until after I kiss the guy, then I remember as soon as we kiss. It is a different guy every time I have the dream, and sometimes I know the guy, sometimes I dont. I have had this dream sporadically since we got married, but lately I have been dreaming it every night, sometimes twice a night. The scary thing is that in the recent dreams, I do know that I am , married but I still make out with these guys anyway. Last night was even crazier because the man I kissed was a gay man claiming to be straight. Just craziness. It is very scary. I would ignore it, but I keep having the dream, so I think maybe God is saying something or showing something.

IRL, I have never and never would cheat on , my husband, even with a kiss. We have a great relationship and are very loving, and we are both Christians, we love God. I cant figure out why I keep having this dream. Can yall help?

Hi guys,

Thank you so much for replying! I love how this place is a community where people help each other out! I did read the post by Daphne as you suggested and it was very helpful! It kept me from going crazy with paranoia! Also, to answer the second post, I do sometimes feel neglected. we got into a big fight about it a few weeks ago in fact. So that could very well be what is causing the dreams.

For a while I thought the dreams could be about pornography. For a few months at the beginning of our marriage, he struggled with viewing porn but the Lord delivered him, and I believe the Spirit confirmed that he will not fall to that particular sin again. So I thought the dream meant to pray for him because he was entertaining thoughts of looking at pornography (get it? Making arrangements to see an old girlfriend?) I asked him if he had been entertaining such thoughts, and he said no. But he would say that wouldn't he?
But honestly the jealously thing makes sense too, because I do feel insecure when he doesn't spend time with me.

In any case I am spending time in prayer about both issues. I prayed that his strength would not fail concerning porn. I also prayed that God would reveal in a concrete and unmistakable way if this is an issue. I will also pray about my insecurity issues, because I don't want my marriage to be affected negatively by my jealousy.

I am thankful for the insight from you both!

Hi All,

I have been using this forum and information posted to help me learn how to interpret my dreams. Recently I had a dream that shook me to the core. Could someone help me sort them out?

The first dream is as follows:

My husband and I were at church together, but he kept ignoring me. We went from place to place and he barely acknowledged my presence. For instance we went to pick up a DVD and we also we went to hang with friends and in both places I felt like I didn't belong- kind of like a 3rd wheel. then I witnessed him make a phone call to arrange a meeting with a girl. He did this right in front of my face. The girl was one that he used to date before we were married, but here he was arranging to talk to her now! I was so angry, I beat him up. I slammed his head against the wall, kicked him in his private parts, and just repeatedly hit him.

The second dream is as follows:
My husband received a phone call from a girl that he knew from the past. I heard part of the conversation because I had picked up the phone downstairs. After a while, he suspected that I picked it up and they hung up. I went upstairs with him, and the phone rang and he refused to pick it up, so I did. The girl didn't answer at first. When she finally did, she gave me a fake name (even though I knew what her name was). I finally said, look, I know this is Valencia. I basically made clear to her, that my husband was mine and she needed to back off. But then afterwards, I was kind to her. She came over my house and had a sandwich. The girl was only 16, and very immature. It seemed to me that when he was calling her, he wasn't cheating with her, but he was entertaining the idea.

A few notes:
1. I have been married for a little over 2 years. My husband and I are both Christians. He has never cheated.
2. I thought it was extremely strange that in the second dream, after I yelled at Valencia, I became nice to her.
3. To my knowledge, neither one of us know anyone named Valencia.

Any thoughts that you have are greatly appreciated!! God bless.

To be honest, I'm not really sure. I have been involved in youth ministry for several years. I am working on a Ph.D. so that I can teach at a collegiate level, because I really like working with teens and young adults. I know that I will have an open door to talk to that age group when I begin to teach, so I'm really excited about that. However, my degree will be in communications, not theology or religion, so it's not one that is directly related to the ministry in the capacity that I have been serving.

Another note... something else that could have been represented by the baby... an actual baby! I didn't think of this before, but my husband and I have been putting off trying for children until we are both finished with school... and I have wondered whether I would be able to be a successful mother, since I'm getting somewhat of a "late" start. That one just came to me- could be related, maybe not, but still... interesting :-)

Thanks again!!

Oh and I have one more question- now that I know what the symbols mean, what should I do with the information? I doubt that God was trying to tell me that I put the ministry down while in school... I knew that already! Is there a message that I should be looking for, or was God just showing me a reflection of what's happening in my life?

Wow Mark, thank you for your help.

As for the second dream, it makes a little more sense now. The ease that I am experiencing is occurring with my education. It's a lot of work, but definitely not difficult, and I figured as much when I began the program. As for the baby, the only thing that I can think of that I have "put down" temporarily is ministry. My husband and I have always been very involved in ministry in our church, but since starting school, my time has been consumed with school work and I have not been active at all, though I plan to become active once I have time again.

As for the first dream, I'm still not sure what it could mean. I am going to think on it though, using the guidance that you gave me. I am very thankful for your help, especially since that second dream has been eating away at me for days! I think you are on target, for sure. I am open to any thoughts that anyone might have, I have dreams all the time but am only recently learning to connect the dots to figure out what God is saying to me.

Thank you again for your assistance!

Blessings to you!!

Christine

Hi Everyone,

I ran across this website looking in an attempt to figure out two dreams that I've recently had. It is so awesome to know that brothers and sisters in Christ are here! Anyway, I am wondering if anyone can help me with these dreams. I have been pondering for days.These are 2 dreams I had recently. One was two nights ago, the other was several nights ago.

Dream 1

I was walking with my friend Jessena, looking for my mom. We were on the sidewalk, but for some reason I left the sidewalk and started walking through a bush to get there. The bush had sand on top and I notice the sand was covered in fire ants. I was trying to figure out how to get out without being bitten when I noticed a snake. I asked my friend Jeremy to scare the snake away, and while I was asking, the snake began wrapping itself around my ankle. I woke before anything could bite me.


Dream 2

I was in a lunchroom, late to class. The class was in a middle school and I hadn't been all semester. I went to class and there was a mix of doctoral and what looked like middle school students. I thought to myself "This is going to be easy" I looked at the assignment and it was easy. A girl brought in her babies to class, it was fine with the teacher. She had to take a call so she handed her newborn to a woman who took it with ease, like a seasoned mother. Then she handed a slightly older (3-4 mos?) baby to me. I couldn't hold him comfortably, so I put him on the tile floor (knowing everyone would dislike it) so that I could put my right hand under his head and prepared to pick him up in a more comfortable way. I was confident that I could pick him up that way, even though it required putting the child on the floor for a bit. I woke up before I could pick up the baby. It was frustrating and difficult, I think maybe the baby was heavy, I'm not sure.

Thanks and blessings,

Christine
