Dreams And Vision

Break the normal rules, restrictions and laws. What could be the world without laws? Laws are good, but it is not enough for the humans to live with the Law alone, it is the Grace. Grace of God that sustains him, gives him life, Joy and happiness.

Since there is no restrictions on the Imaginations, we all dream great things. But we should also remind ourselves that "As A Man Thinketh So is He"-

The title is influenced by a verse in the Bible from the Book of Proverbs, chapter 23, verse 7: "As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he". The full passage, taken from the King James Version, is as follows: Eat thou not the bread of him that hath an evil eye, neither desire thou his dainty meats

King Solomon also understood the principle of how the imagination works, as he says:
Ecclesiastes 8:11 NIV
When the sentence for a crime is not quickly carried out, people's hearts are filled with schemes to do wrong.

The heart felt intentions or the dreams or the visions one carry out may not have a quick change in the behavior or environment, but it will have a very strong influence in the future. This is why we should be very much aware of what gets in our minds, we should always meditate the Word Of God, need to have good friends and fellowships, More than any other thing, one should have a good relationship with God.

Philippians 4:8 NIV
Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable--if anything is excellent or praiseworthy--think about such things.

Interpretation of Dreams
Sigmund Freud in his book "Interpretation of Dreams" tries to tell us that what we see before going to bed may sometimes influence our dream. Our Alarm sound, the calling bell, the sound from the milk boiler kettle sound from the kitchen (may sound like a train station) and we relate it with the real life situations. Our dream patterns changes to the things that we do on our daily basis. The pictures we see, the movies we watch.

But these are all scientific experiments and assumptions, the great dream interpreters in the Bible - Joseph, Daniel etc, has given us a lot more lessons. That if we have to get the revelation from the God, we need to have a good relationship with God.


Being Passionate about our Dreams:
Proverbs 13:12 NIV
Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but a longing fulfilled is a tree of life.


Dreams and Visions for the New Generations:
Acts 2:17 NIV
"'In the last days, God says, I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your young men will see visions, your old men will dream dreams.
