Does God Speak To You Through Your Dreams? (Part 1)
I am a dreamer. I wake up almost every morning with at least one dream still fresh, still sitting with me. Some of them are obviously just... noise. But then there are other dreams where I know that God is speaking to me. Those dreams just feel different, they stick with you more. I had one of those recently. In the dream, I was in a hospital, very pregnant, full term. And then the doctor comes in and says the baby is breech…in the wrong position. I remember in the dream just praying, "No, Lord, this needs to come out." I actually felt the baby shift and felt the discomfort of that repositioning happening right there in the dream. Then I woke up, and instantly, I was like. "Lord, okay, I see you. We're talking about this…” Because at my age, the baby factory is very much closed. 😅 So dreams are, more often than not, metaphorical or symbolic, not literal. That's kind of how it works with God. He gives you something that gets your attention so you can sit with it and ask him questions to get understanding. So when I dream about being pregnant, I know God is not talking about a literal baby. He is talking about something new being formed in me, that is almost ready to come out. The question I sat with that morning was, "Lord, what am I about to birth, and am I coming at it the wrong way?" After praying through it, He showed me.
