Dreams

This information has nothing to do with the bible or with the gospel or with Christ. The bible points to Christ and the bible reflects Him and his work. (John 5:39, Ex 36:1)
Before Adam's fall we were made in the likeness of God ( Gen 1:27). Whole without sin. We are called “gods” (Psalm 82:5-7)). Satan seeks to conquer and divide. He divided the angels. He divided marriages. Anything with a relationship under God he divides. We are made a little lower than angels (Hebrews 2:6-8)
It is supposition that sin separated our dreams from us, from having ownership of dreams; for the fall of man, mans dreams became divided. Think of dreams like the pictures of old with men having halos above them. The two were connected by an invisible force. Man sinned and these two became separated. The picture to paint, are dreams to be like slivers of Dove soap on water. We each have our own sliver. God created our nature to worship. We ether worship God or Satan. We worship either God, or created things. What ever it is we are drawn to worship. Our dreams have carried this nature. Now, like the dove soap of slivers on water, they float to and fro (Job 20:8, He will fly away like a dream and not be found;he will be chased away like a vision of the night.”) Satan has dominion over the dream world. Prince and ruler over the air (Ephesians 2:2), "ruler of this world" (our reality) in John 12:31. But God owns everything. Watch the slivers of dreams (like soap). Their nature is to cling to something, either each other or the sides of the container. The need to worship and belong. If the dream by chance hovers over us it is our dream. With ripples in time and space they go wherever they may. Or over someones else's head. Pushed by Satan over one of his angels head, or over his own head. Anything may abound with a dream. Satan or God can push many of our dreams together to cling with each others. God has full authority and does what He wants. Dreams and all. (Job 33:14 For God(A) speaks in one way, and in two, though man does not perceive it. 15) In a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep falls on men, while they slumber on their beds,) If we are in Christ, Jesus is our shield (Ps 3:3 He is our shield, Ps 7:10, Ps 18:2). Sometimes Jesus allows Satan to come under this shield, but with the strictest direction. (Job 13, “When I say, 'My bed will comfort me, my couch will ease my complaint,' 14)then you scare me with dreams and terrify me with visions,” ) Dreams are also like seeds of a tree. They can be created from us, but eventually fall and dissipate on their own. Instead of falling to the ground they fall upward to the air. Currents push them away. They die, but sometimes before they die they may cling to someone or something else. We used to have authority over our own dreams, but at sometime in history that authority was taken away. To put it in short: we do not own our dreams, because they slip away from us.
The Egyptians were taught this by Satan. They worked divination and worshiped the demons. (Gen 44:5 “...by this that he practices divination?”) In Gen 40:5, they knew some force had pushed their dreams together and knew it was someone with the highest power. “each his own dream, and each dream with its own interpretation”. Gen 41:11 “...we dreamed on the same night, he and I, each having a dream with its own interpretation.” Gen 41:12 “...to each man according to his dream.” Not someones else's dream or something else's dream. Gen 41:25 "The dreams of Pharaoh are one; God has revealed to Pharaoh what he is about to do.” Only God can cause this to happen, make two dreams the same. Gen 41:26 “...the dreams are one.” Gen 41:42 “And the doubling of Pharaoh’s dream means that the thing is fixed by God...”
If a dreamer causes someone to worship anything, but Jesus. Deut. 13:1-3 “'Let us go after other gods,' which you have not known, 'and let us serve them,' you shall not listen to the words of that prophet or that dreamer of dreams. For the LORD your God is testing you, to know whether you love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul.” Keep this in context. Don't separate the verse like Satan would in saying “...you shall not listen to the words of that prophet or that dreamer of dreams.” Test it. Is this person pointing you toward Christ or away from Him (Deut. 13:5).
