Dreams

Most of us are dreamers.  This is not to say that most people waste a lot of their time as dreamers might be accused of doing, but instead, it is to say that sleeping is often accompanied by dreams.  When I was a child dreams were things at which to marvel.  Later in life after education has had its impact on the child which continued to live within me, they became strange windows which provided views of the world which required some measure of psychological interpretation.    

Somewhere in the middle of the years given to me, I began to see that dreams could be as the Voice of God being spoken in my inner being.  It should not have taken me so long to come to such a conclusion since by the moment of revelation I had read hundreds of times the story of Joseph having a dream that God used to change forever his future.  Unsure of whether he wanted to marry a young girl who was pregnant with a child which did not belong to him, he went to sleep.  While sleeping he had a dream and the rest is history.    

Dreams do not have to be thought of as night time disruptions caused by poor late night eating habits, but they can also be seen as a means by which the Spirit of God seeks to communicate and relate to us in the unguarded moments of our life.  Even as adults there is reason to wake up marveling at how our subconscious has been deeply touched by the Spirit of God.  Since most of us dream and since the Spirit is still seeking to guide and direct us toward the plan and will of God, it only makes sense to pay attention to what is going on inside of us even when we are sleeping.
