This is a prophetic declaration concerning our days & times, that visions and dreams will be very relevant to God’s people.
The topic of dreams or night visions is always going to be relevant to us because every human or almost every human on earth have experienced this at one point or the other in their lives. And for so many people, dreams and night visions is almost a daily or weekly experience. Since this is the case, understanding of this subject is vital in other for us to benefit from this God given experience. Dreams and night visions are one way God speaks and communicates with us.
We must note that not all dreams or night visions are from God. Some dreams can come as a result of much activity, over eating etc. Ecclesiates.5: 3. these classes of dreams are what I term as carnal dreams. Such dreams are usually scattered and would jump from scene to scene and they have no pattern and no meaning.
But a dream or revelation from God would usually have a co-ordination, a progression and would be meaningful. Dreams that are from God would usually come in symbols; it would have lots of symbolic things. Colors, figures, animals are common symbols you would see in dreams, and you have to interpret correctly to get true meanings of your dreams. The Bible has set for us a pattern for interpreting dreams; the safe pattern is to be able to interpret dreams with the written Word of God. You must also not forget that the Spirit of God works in line or works together with God’s written word. So, every dream or vision from God must find it’s interpretation linked back to the word.
A biblical principle of interpreting dreams and visions is called the,” principle of first mention”. It means the first mention of an object, color, number or symbol in the Bible sets a pattern that holds true & is consistently the same for the rest of the Bible. I am going to list a few Scriptures where symbolic words first appear which would help you interpret your dreams correctly. Please not that some words may have more than one meaning.
