  • Basketball,
    Interesting question. While I agree with most, I have to disagree with alot (its in my nature)
    God speaks to many ppl in dreams. However, not everybody get a dream from God. God also appeared to many ppl but then again he didn't appear to some.

    Here are some examples:

    God appeared to Abraham many times. Both in person and in a dream

    God appeared to Jonah in Dreams.

    God appeared to many saints in dreams as well.

    God treats us in a way that we can understand and bear.

    Also keep in mind that the devil sometimes takes the form of angles or saints to decieve people. The story of St. Youstina and Kebrianous is a perfect example. That is why everybody is telling you to talk to your Father of Confession.

    I think that we must be at a very high spiritual level to be able to see dreams and apperations. It mostly comes during a time when we really need them (during the lives of saints they would happen accompaning healing of the wounds of martyers to strengthen thier faith).

    So you want to talk to your father of confession to make sure that it is really a spiritual dream, not a trick from the devil. And to make sure that you are at a spiritual level to comprehend such a blessing.

    Just my 2 cents.
  • I agree with Coptic Boy

  • "Demons often transform themselves into angels of light and take the form of martyrs, and make it appear to us during sleep that we are in communication with them. Then, when we wake up, they plunge us into unholy joy and conceit. But you can detect their deceit by this very fact. For angels reveal torments, judgments and separations; and when we wake up we find that we are trembling and sad. As soon as we begin to believe the demons in dreams, then they make sport of us when we are awake too. He who believes in dreams is completely inexperienced. But he who distrusts all dreams is a wise man. Only believe dreams that warn you of torments and judgments. But if despair afflicts you, then such dreams area also from demons. St John Climacus, "The Ladder of Divine Ascent", Step 3: On Exile or Pilgrimage (Boston: Holy Transfiguration Monastery, 1978) "

    I guess that means my dream was from the devil and I noticed Pope Kyrillos was short in my dream.. now im scared and sad I hugged a demon in my dream or the devil himself.
