Dreams

I never could dream as a child or as a man but recently I’ve been praying for the ability to dream not that the lord would come to my dreams but that he would give me the ability to experience them and I’ve had three dreams in 2 days here are the dreams Dream One In the first dream, it was my buddy’s birthday, and we decided to go to a strip club, but it turned out to be more of a brothel. When we got there, I ended up in a back room with one of the girls. We made small talk, and she started grinding, but when things progressed further, I had to stop. I told her I couldn’t go through with it. Later, the manager came, and I had to sign something to officially refuse. The girl even wrote down that she thought it was cute and admirable that I knew what I wanted. Afterward, my friends congratulated me for sticking to my values, and we left the place. Dream Two I had a dream where I was dating Maeve, and I was visiting her dorm, staying there during my trip. While I was there, someone came into her dorm uninvited. I acted immediately, locking Maeve in her room to keep her safe. The situation got physical, and I ended up knocking the intruder out before dealing with the police who came afterward. Dream Three In another dream, I was taking care of a girl who seemed to be my niece. She had this goth-like style and called me the “mean uncle.” She kept asking why I was so cut off and cold, and I told her it’s because people have always seen me as a monster, and some still do, though a few could see past it. While we were stowing away on some kind of vehicle, she slipped and almost fell off, but I caught her arm just in time and pulled her back on. After that, her whole attitude toward me changed—she no longer called me mean and snuggled into me, knowing I’d protect her. I’d love your thoughts and maybe their symbolism if they are from god

Thank you, Paroxyromai, for sharing your dreams with us. We are grateful that God has opened up this gift in your life and we believe that He uses this and all our experiences even including dreams to communicate with us. We can find this in the book of Job.

For God speaks once, yes twice, yet man pays no attention. In a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep falls on men, in slumbering on the bed; Then he opens the ears of men, and seals their instruction, That he may withdraw man from his purpose, and hide pride from man.

Job 33:14-17 WEB

We are thankful that you are seeking the Lord's guidance and that you recognize that the ability to dream comes from Him. We are also thankful for the courage to share the intimate details of your dreams.

First, we must address that we should not be going to a strip club or brothel. The fact that you were unwilling to participate in immoral activity is a testament to the Holy Spirit's work in your life. Also In Proverbs Ch 5, we are warned not to give our strength to others in sexual immorality.

Drink water out of your own cistern, flowing water out of your own well. Should your springs overflow in the streets, streams of water in the public squares? Let them be for yourself alone, not for strangers with you. Let your spring be blessed. Rejoice in the wife of your youth.
Proverbs 5:15-18 WEB

These springs and well are symbols of the sexual relationships that are only blessed in a marriage relationship.

In your first dream, it is clear that you are standing firm in your values and resisting temptation.

Be sober and self-controlled. Be watchful. Your adversary, the devil, walks around like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. Withstand him steadfast in your faith, knowing that your brothers who are in the world are undergoing the same sufferings.

1 Peter 5:8-9

This dream could be a reminder that the enemy is always looking for ways to tempt us, but with God we can stand firm. It could be an encouragement and affirmation that God will give us success and favor when we stand firm in our faith.

Your second dream appears to be filled with protective instincts and bravery. This could symbolize God's call for you to be a protector and defender of the innocent, or it could represent your desire to safeguard those you care about.

Behold, God is my helper. The Lord is with those who uphold my life. He will repay evil to my enemies. Destroy them in your truth.
Psalm 54:4-5 WEB

Also, Psalms 82:3-4 talks about defending the weak and fatherless; maintaining the rights of the poor and oppressed. Rescuing the weak and needy and delivering them out of the hand of the wicked.

Your third dream seems to represent a change in perception and a softening of hearts. It could symbolize God's work in your life, transforming you and showing others that you are not the monster they perceived, but a protector and a loving figure. God calls us to be light in the darkness.

He turns rivers into a desert, springs of water into a thirsty ground; A fruitful land into a salt waste, for the wickedness of those who dwell in it. He turns a desert into a pool of water, and a dry land into springs of water. There he makes the hungry live, that they may prepare a city to live in, sow fields, and plant vineyards, and reap the fruits of increase.

This is a reminder that God can turn barrenness into fruitfulness, and He can change the hearts and perceptions of others towards us.

Now let us pray together.

Heavenly Father, in the name of Jesus Christ we come to You, thanking You for the gift of dreams and visions. We pray that You will speak to Paroxyromai through these dreams, revealing Your will and Your heart to him. We praise You for the work of the Holy Spirit in his life, giving him the strength to resist temptation and stand firm in his faith. We ask that You continue to guide him, protecting him from the enemy's schemes, and using him as a protector and defender of others. Show him the symbolism and the meaning behind these dreams and give him wisdom to apply these in his life. Turn every curse and barrenness into fruitfulness and prosperity in his life. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

Wow, Paroxyromai, what an incredible journey your dreams have taken you on! We're so glad you shared these with us. It's amazing how God can speak to us through our dreams, isn't it?

In your first dream, we see your commitment to your values and your willingness to stand firm against temptation. It's like the story of Joseph in Genesis. He was tempted by Potiphar's wife, but he refused, saying, "How then could I do this great wickedness and sin against God?" (Genesis 39:9). You, too, stood your ground, and we're proud of you for that.

In your second dream, we see your protective instincts kicking in. It reminds us of the parable of the Good Samaritan in Luke 10. The Samaritan didn't just walk by when he saw someone in need; he stopped, helped, and even paid for the person's care. You, too, acted quickly to protect the one you care about. It's clear that God has given you a heart for protection and care.

Your third dream seems to be about transformation and perception. It reminds us of the parable of the prodigal son in Luke 15. The son was once lost and far from home, but when he returned, his father welcomed him with open arms. It's as if your niece in the dream had a change of heart, seeing you not as a "mean uncle" but as a protector and a loving figure. It's a beautiful reminder of God's transforming power.

Let's pray together, shall we?

Dear Lord, we thank You for speaking to Paroxyromai through his dreams. We pray that he would continue to listen and learn from them. Help him to stand firm in his faith, to protect and care for those around him, and to be a light in the darkness. Transform his heart and the hearts of those around him, just as You transformed the prodigal son's father. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
