so anyways, what do u think about that kind of a dream?
That was a fairly interesting dream, I must say. I guess that maybe, since it made you happy that was a plus! I guess that maybe, as you said, that the devil can't provide a dream that has to do with love, if I am not mistaken, is true. Then again, it's not the devil's love that's involved with this dream, it's yours. I don't think that the devil can't provide dreams that allow you to fall in love. The devil can use dreams to make love or lust, depending on what you interpret it, your downfall. (Please tell me if you don't understand what I mean). I am not sure whether this dream was from God or from the devil and I guess that it depends on how you felt and how your emotions were after the dream. If it was really the devil who provided this dream/vision, hopefully it was God, for you then I would assume that he would have done that to cause you to fall into sin. This was what I was talking about before in one of my previous posts where I stated that the dream mught seem like its from God but the devil has done it because he knows/assumes that you will commit a sin or be careless after you see/experience what you saw/experienced in that dream.
Please forgive me for using your dream as an example and I assure you that I am not inferring anything by the things which I am trying to tell you. Please forgive me if I hurt you in any way but if I do, just tell me and I will try to do anything to pay you back MarMar91. Let's say that somebody else had a dream like this, this person, let's call him Bob, might wake up with a desire to commit lusts with the girl who he was dreaming of. That's when a dream becomes dangerous and that's what the devil wants you to think of as the result of a dream/vision. Especially if one believes that it is a vision that's from God, where what is seen in a dream comes true. Bob might fall into a false sense of security where a Bob thinks that, since I shall have her anyways, I might as well do what I want with her, even before marrage. Of course, that's all wrong. *MarMar 91, I know that this is completely different then your dream and that none of this applies to you, but please bare with me so that I may get my point across. Please! please! please! please! please! forgive me if I hurt you in any way, remember that this all happened to Bob and not you. If you have any other dreams you would like to share I am always hear for you! Also, forgive me because my statement about this is so long. By all means, ignore all which I say for I am just a naive fool who does not even have the permission to say such things about anyone, especially my brothers and sisters, of whom I am even less then they are. Please forgive me.

ya, but plz don't give me answers like you'll just know... hopw can u tell if its a dream for God, or a foreshadopwing of things to come---???
Going back to this question, I believe that the dreams that are from God are dreams which are foreshadowing the things to come. I can't think of any other reason that the Lord would provide us with a dream/vision, if it would not come true. Like you said before MarMar, in one of your posts, the dream which maade you happy to be with someone again might be a dream from God and that you are waiting for this day to come when you are really going to be able to be with that person. Right? I would not see why else the Lord would make you dream of such a thing if it brings your hopes up and then brings it down again, because when you look to reality you do not believe it is really going to happen. I may be wrong although but if you have another suggestion as to why God would make you dream if something if it would not come true then I am ready to hear your comments about it.

Maybe if you talk to your father of confession he might be able to figure this out, as was stated in another thread concerning this matter of dreams.

I am by no means a dream interpreter because I can not even interpret my own dreams. I was thinking that perhaps that dream might have been a sign of God trying to explain to you what the meaning of true love is and what true love can do to a person. Just as you love your friend and can not even think of being without her God might be showing you how and what true love feels like. It's kind of like God might be telling you that He loves you and if He loses you it will be to Him as you losing your friend. Please, forgive me if I complicated or distorted the message of the Lord to you, if this dream was truly from the Lord.

I was wondering if you are 100% sure of that statement sandrahanna. If so, what was your source or method of coming about that conclusion? I am not wuestioning if it is true or not, don't get me wrong, but I guess I am interested because in another thread I heard the opposite.
Please pray for me always,

Dreams that arent from God dont neccesarily have to be from the devil, and vica-versa. they can also be from your subconscience; so with that in mind, here is my lengthy explanation (forgive me, i felt i needed all those words, because it is a complex topic)
Dreams are strange, confusing, convoluted, and erratic by nature. you will never fully understand all of them. here is why:
dreams are from your subconscience. they are manifestation of thoughts, feelings, desires, instincts, etc..
HOWEVER, because the human subconscience is strange in its own methodical ways, these manifestations of your mind's secret life are often distorted to the point that they are not recognized as meaningful. for example: if Bob (for lack of a better test subject lol) disliked someone, bill lets say. bob would repeatedly have dreams of his childhood where he was made fun of by his peers, an event that really hurt bob. there is obviously no connection here, at least we dont see a connection, and neither does bob. but if bob looked a little bit closer he would see that this guy bill is also made fun of and disliked by his peers. his subconscience sees this connection and during his restless sleep he is reminded of the reasons he doesnt like bill, yet he doesnt realize it. so our subconscience is very errational and illogical so we must look at dreams symbolically. these dreams usually reveal things in our life that may bother us and so arent restricted to things we think about before sleep.
Dreams from God: i think our LORD can speak for himself on this ;D
Dreams from devil: May the LORD protect from them ;)
how do you know all these things about dreams...
sounds interesting and very true!!
Why am I asking so many questions? :D
Please pray for me always,
Believer in God
"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)"
